Childhood and life before Monetochka's fame
Many people are interested in the name of the currently popular performer Monetochka and where did she come from? Lisa was born into a complete family and was raised by two parents. Her father works as a builder, and her mother works in the tourism industry. Her parents were not professionally interested in art and did not work in creative positions, but they supported Lisa when she began to study music. In 2005, the girl went to school in first grade. Lisa studied at an institution with in-depth study of literature, music, fine art and art. She graduated from 9th grade. At the same time, she studied at a music school - playing the piano. Lisa was interested in music, art, and also attended a ballet club. I started writing poetry from childhood, but didn’t think seriously about a musical career at that time. From the age of four, Lisa already had a predisposition to “writing”: her parents kept a video where she draws spring water and says, “ Stream, trickle, give us water for tea .”
Coin in childhood
According to Wikipedia, since 2014 Lisa continued her studies at the specialized educational and scientific center of UrFU, entering the 10th grade there. During this period, she was interested in music, preferring to listen to the work of Zemfira , “ Ranetok ”, Noize MC . At that time, Monetochka had already begun publishing her first songs on VKontakte . As a result, I received a response from Noize MC .
Two years later I completed my studies there. In 2020, Monetochka entered VGIK as a correspondence student. She chose the “Producing” major because she loves cinema and it allows her to gain knowledge in the field of economics and law. Lisa chose distance learning because she wanted a free schedule and not too much workload with her studies. While studying at VGIK, the girl completed her first educational internship on the ETV channel. There she released several projects together with Alexandra Aksenova. Before entering and quickly growing in popularity, Lisa wanted to become a teacher.

"The Tsoi of our time." What is the secret of Monetochka's success?
The songs of a twenty-year-old singer from Yekaterinburg are being discussed on social networks. The press compares her texts with the work of Zemfira and Tsoi. Reviews vary dramatically: from enthusiastic to sharply critical. Who is Monetochka and why is everyone talking about her?

The press writes about Monetochka that she recorded “the best pop record of the year” and this is “The Tsoi of our time.” Is it so? Monetochka is Liza Gyrdymova from Yekaterinburg, she just turned twenty, and she is called “the voice of the generation of 20-year-olds.” But although its genre is most often defined as teen-pop, that is, “pop for teenagers,” on Facebook it is discussed by those in their thirties and older. Some say that this is “an attempt to feel a connection with youth,” others admit that they recognize the native beats of club music from the 90s and “zeroes,” on which ironic poetry is superimposed.
Those who liked it praise the original texts and sarcasm: “They have unisex, but we have kvass, iconostasis, Mikhailov Stas.” About the 90s, which she did not see, Monetochka sings that “only from the cassette, from the song “Krovostok”, she learns with childish horror that in the 90s they killed people and everyone was running around completely naked, there was no electricity anywhere, only fights over jeans and Coca-Cola.”
Monetochka is a rare case when a girl who started on VKontakte successfully went offline. And if the music leaves much to be desired, then the poetry is good, says music critic Max Hagen:
Max Hagen music critic “When it appeared, I just looked at it as a joke. You know, how in the mid-2000s the guys and I listened to the group “Krovostok” in Time out magazine. We listened not to music, but to poetry. In principle, I don’t keep the singer Monetochka for music that I would listen to and recommend to someone I know. For me, this is a very interesting poetic joke, for which some kind of music is selected, but nothing more.”
Perhaps the excitement will subside very soon. Music columnist for Rossiyskaya Gazeta Alexander Belyaev did not listen to the singer on principle:
Alexander Belyaev, music columnist for Rossiyskaya Gazeta “I felt some kind of hype out of the blue. If the singer Grechka, with whom, as you remember, a couple of months ago we were rushing around with the same mood, that she is the new Zemfira and even the new Tsoi, the new anyone in general. With Monetochka, it all somehow looked very suspicious: the album was dangling on the face of iTunes. But here they are constantly looking for a new Zemfira and somehow they still can’t find it. At the same time, the old one also somehow does not shine - there is some kind of complete crisis. Everyone needs a new artist."
But for now Monetochka is on the rise: even business media wrote about the premiere of her video, where “Zaporozhets” goes into space, like Elon Musk’s “Tesla”. Although, maybe it’s just the singer’s name?

Creativity and early career
Singer Monetochka
Monetochka writes poetry and plays the piano. In addition, she is a versatile person: she reads classical literature, cross-stitches, and previously danced. Her songs are simple but full of irony. She devotes her songs to socially significant topics, both everyday and extremely unpleasant or, on the contrary, joyful. Usually, the tracks are dedicated to unrequited love or war. The meaning of the lyrics is also simple. Monetochka devotes a lot of time to the Internet and working on it.
Lisa began creating songs that were aimed at an audience of teenage girls with “pink hair.” But not only teenagers, but also adult listeners paid attention to her work. Now, 80% of the listeners of her songs are young people and men from 18 to 30. The girl divides her work in show business and creativity. She preferred to choose the second.
In 2020, Monetochka created and published her first song on VKontakte called “ For Odnoklassniki ”. She received not only fans among her classmates, but also from users of the social network VK. In addition, there were those who reacted negatively to her work.

Monetochka's husband (singer)
The girl is still quite young, so Monetochka’s husband, as such, is absent. As mentioned earlier, in high school the girl dated a young man, but he could not stand the test of fame and was the first to end the relationship.
However, it cannot be said that Elizabeth was very upset, because, in her own words, she is going to focus exclusively on learning and creative activity in the near future. In any case, Lisa is a young and attractive girl who still has everything ahead of her. One can only hope that sooner or later she will meet her prince.
Popularity
Monetochka did not expect that she would gain fame so quickly and win over her fans. She created and published a post on the wall on VKontakte , consisting of 7 songs and the phrase “ I am a singer!” (just don’t hit) » 12/13/2015. The song " For Odnoklassniki " was included in this post, as well as 6 new tracks from " Russian Art ". She was the author of the lyrics and also performed compositions in her signature style - with a childish, innocent voice against the background of piano playing. A few hours later, Monetochka saw 181 reposts of the post, but as she stated later in the post, she didn’t count on the “hype.” Noize MC listened to her songs responded to the recording, representatives from “ Disco Accident ” wrote, Dmitry Enteo gave her advice in the comments. They started writing positive and negative letters to Monetochka
Later, Monetochka wrote a debut song called “ Psychedelic Cloud Rap ” on December 22, 2015, which she also published on VKontakte . Her pseudonym is associated with this track - Monetochka .

Discography of the performer
So, a key event occurs in her life that will change her destiny forever at the end of December 2020. On this day, the girl posts her creativity on a social network for everyone to see. The next day she wakes up famous throughout the country. The publication of the collection received 181 reposts and even more likes from users. In an interview, Lisa admitted that she could not imagine the appearance of such hype in her direction. They began to write positive and negative reviews to her, as well as offers of cooperation.
A representative of the popular group “Disco Accident” and Ivan Alekseev himself wrote to Elizabeth, about whom she was such a fan in the past and went to his concerts. Particularly noteworthy is the proposal from the religious activist Enteo, who invited the girl to switch to the light side and join the ranks of the fight against evil, but our heroine refused such an invitation.
After that, she moves to Moscow, where she enrolls in a correspondence course at VGIK, where she studies to this day. The girl is recording her first full-length collection, which includes songs that brought her the fruits of success. The album is called “Psychedelic Cloud Rap”, it includes “Ukrainian Question”, “Gosh Rubchinsky”, “Nymphomania”. Each track was filled with fresh and bold irony, which listeners liked, and critics began to compare her work with the poets Blok and Akhmatova. The surprising fact was that her tracks began to appear mainly among men from 18 to 30 years old.
In 2020, our heroine recorded a joint composition with Noize MC, which was called “Childfree”. A little later, a video of the same name is released, which collects a huge number of views on the popular YouTube service. During the same period, she meets the musician BTSKh, whose name is Victor. The guys met on a site near the university in Moscow, and a dialogue immediately arose between them. Elizabeth asked him for help in creating a new record. Thus, collection number two “I am Lisa” is born, which differs from the previous one in musical accompaniment. This album is dominated by electronic sound, which was added by her first producer and colleague BTSH.
There were rumors online that Monetochka had a whole team behind her, producers and sponsors, who created a unique image and style of performance. In fact, it turned out that the girl was working in tandem with a young man, Victor.
She writes her own lyrics and writes the musical component together with a friend. This phenomenon is so rare in modern show business, because many performers act only as an empty instrument, do not write poetry and music, a trained team does everything for them.
It is worth mentioning why she chose such a stage name. Everything is quite simple, when our heroine first registered on a social network, she signed her account Elizaveta Moneta because it rhymed. Later, a similar nickname changed into the current name by which everyone knows her.
A couple of years later, her third full-fledged work, “Coloring Books for Adults,” was released; the label was the company M2, which at one time collaborated with the groups Dolphin and Bi-2. The first composition in the album is called “Russian Ark”, which was created based on the film of the same name directed by Alexander Sokurov. The new collection continues to correspond to her style, each text is aimed at ridiculing a certain area of modern reality. Especially follows oh, which is a remade copy of the track "Woman I Don't Dance".
The performer's latest creation instantly spread across social networks and entered the playlists of almost every modern teenager and even adult men. It’s quite interesting to listen to how a soft and pleasant voice criticizes and jabs at pop culture and the state. Critics put her album in first place in the rating and rate it as the best collection of the year.
Gradually, the fame of the performer grows and she is invited to take part in the “Evening Urgant” program on Channel One, where she performs the track “If I Were Paid Every Time.” She can also be seen in one of the episodes of the comedy program “Comedy Club”. Later, her songs are performed by activists at a rally to protect the Telegram social network. On the Internet, her personality is beginning to be compared with Viktor Tsoi and famous punk performers, because the girl is not afraid to talk on stage about the problems of the modern world and society.
Our heroine spent her 20th anniversary on the big stage in Moscow, where her major solo concert took place. From this moment on, she embarks on a tour, in which she captures new fans and cities in Russia. In 2020 he released a video for the song “Zaporozhets”, an animated video telling a love story. The director's chair was taken by the eminent person Dmitry Maseykin, who had previously collaborated with Husky.
Later, the performer performed at the Kinotavr festival, where she was able to see in person the behind-the-scenes life of big cinema. She said online that Ksenia Sobchak herself wanted to take a photo with her. Soon the girl appeared as part of the independent festival “Pain” in St. Petersburg. Now Monetochka continues to travel around the country and shares her creativity with listeners.
