Parents supported their daughter's desire to become a singer. Their approval helped the girl decide to publish songs on social networks.
How did you spend your childhood and adolescence?
Alena has been studying music since she was 3 years old. At an early age she began to have breathing problems. The parents sent their daughter to vocal lessons so that she could develop her lungs. The girl sang in kindergarten and studied in a vocal studio, so she was used to being the center of attention and has not been afraid of the stage since childhood.
The singer describes her first performance with humor: dressed in a yellow dress, she was pushed onto the stage and told to sing. It was a singing competition, and the girl took first place. As a schoolgirl, Alena also took part in competitions and amateur performances. Despite the busy schedule of classes and rehearsals, the girl studied well in general subjects.
Alena not only sang, but also composed poetry and music. She admired the rhymes in the songs of famous performers. She wanted to combine words in the same original way. A talented vocalist, artist, poetess, pretty girl - it looks like a portrait of a homely girl. But in Alena’s active social life there was enough room for courtyard romance.
The teenage entertainment of the singer and her friends is walking through abandoned buildings and singing with a guitar on a bench in the evening. The repertoire of young people in the 2010s includes Russian rock legends Zemfira and Yulia Chicherina. Also, Alena’s musical guru was the Ukrainian group “Fleur”, whose original instrumental style has no analogues in the world. Closer to adulthood, the girl became interested in rap culture, which was gaining popularity on the Internet. Alena went to YouTube not only for entertainment, but also for self-development. She found time to teach herself how to play the seven-string guitar and ukulele.
First steps to popularity
Alena Shvets began writing songs in 2020. Notebooks with poems were kept in the desk at home. The author took a guitar, friends for support and went to the streets of Chelyabinsk to earn pocket money by singing. According to her, the daily earnings were enough to feed herself. The girl did not deny herself the pleasure of eating buns and cakes.
At the age of 16, Alena made her debut on YouTube. The first song published was "Little Hikikomori". Later, the singer posted all the songs written since 2020. She ran her own channel and continued to perform on the streets. Passers-by recognized Alena and her songs and sang along.
When and why did you move to St. Petersburg?
Alena Shvets moved to the Northern capital in 2020, during her senior year. In Chelyabinsk she had few like-minded people and few ways to develop as an artist. An invitation from the Cold Sounds label served as the beginning of a new stage in the singer’s life.
One of the founders of the community, Maxim Bogachenko, invited Alena to perform at the St. Petersburg underground bar “Niko”. The girl agreed. St. Petersburg received her warmly: she made new friends, a boyfriend. She became the label's most promising singer. To continue her musical career, Alena moved to St. Petersburg. She studied in 11th grade, performed in clubs and attracted 500 spectators at her performances.
Coming to fame
Alena Shvets realized that she had become famous after she was inundated with messages on VK, and her songs appeared on TikTok. She quickly won the favor of the online community. The success was cemented by the first professionally shot video for the song “Rival”. The video appeared on YouTube in January 2020. Previous works were distinguished by amateur filming and sound recording.
The singer gave her next concerts in Moscow. Tickets sold out instantly. Shvets sings about problems and stories from the lives of ordinary schoolchildren: first love, rejection in society, the future, the pursuit of happiness. This explains its popularity among young people. The miniature girl with a guitar was compared in her work to the legendary Zemfira, Monetochka and Zhanna Aguzarova. The soft timbre of her voice, her singing manner of performance, and the flowers in her appearance and on the microphone stand are also associated with the American singer Lana Del Rey.
Shvets's creativity is not associated with retro, hippie and bohemian chic. Her songs correspond to the Russian realities of life. But they also have melancholy: a little girl with a guitar larger than herself sings in a sweet voice about fatigue and loneliness in a world of cruel and deceitful people. Also, a parallel with Lana Del Rey can be seen in the surroundings of the texts: port wine, checkered scarf, voicemail messages, chewing gum, cola. Monetochka and Grechka have a similar content, which is why Russian singers are often compared.
Alena Shvets' music combines romance style, rock and folk music. The songs in the album “Dandelion Wire” seem to have been written by different performers; the rock sound is reminiscent of Zemfira, and the folk sound is reminiscent of Helavisa.
