Biography
Family
She was born in Moscow on November 28, 1990. Her mother has Polish and German roots (hence the unusual surname), she comes from the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The singer's father is of Ukrainian and Gypsy origin. Julia has an older sister, her name is Diana.
As a child, she lived with her parents for five years in Odessa, then their family moved again to Moscow. After her parents’ divorce, the future artist took her mother’s last name – Siewert.
In 2004, the singer’s mother was able to start her own business by opening a clothing store.
In her early years, Yulia was actively involved in dancing and went to a ballet studio, and the place of her favorite school subject was firmly occupied by the English language. Since her grandmother knew how to sew well, already as a child she was able to try on a wide variety of images in which she performed in front of guests, for which she received the nickname “artist.” Also, thanks to her grandmother, Julia fell in love with poetry and music.
Life after school, work as a flight attendant
After graduating from school, the girl studied to become a clothing designer, worked as a florist, but soon decided to become a flight attendant.
Siewert's dream of flying appeared in her childhood, when her parents took her with them on long and long-distance business trips, which were an integral part of their job responsibilities. In addition, financial problems that arose in the family inevitably forced the girl to think about finding a permanent job and to suspend her studies.
Having tried her hand at design, she makes the final choice in favor of aviation - monotonous office work is abhorrent to her nature. As a result, Yulia has been working for several years (in the early 2010s) in the prestigious fourth department of Aeroflot, where she ended up thanks to her impressive appearance and good command of English.
Constant flights did not frighten her at all; on the contrary, such activities, filled with travel and new impressions, fully corresponded to her impetuous nature and sociable character.
But over time, she also became bored with aviation, perhaps this was facilitated by the strict dress code requirements, mandatory for all Aeroflot employees and never fully accepted by Yulia. In addition, by her own admission, she began to get tired of the image of a helpful flight attendant.
After leaving Aeroflot, Sievert danced for some time, devoting herself to another of her favorite activities, but soon their dance group broke up. After these events, Julia began to seriously think about starting a professional music career.
Daughter of Vladimir Turchinsky - Ksenia Turchinskaya
At the end of the 90s of the last century, our today's hero became a dad for the second time. The third wife gave him a daughter, whom the family council decided to name Ksenia.
The baby was an active and creative person. She studied dancing and music from a young age. Her dad was always proud of his daughter’s successes. He spent a lot of time with the girl. And for her, the sudden passing of her beloved daddy was a blow.
The daughter of Vladimir Turchinsky, Ksenia Turchinskaya, studies at one of the capital’s universities. She decided to connect her future with choreography.
Career
The beginning of a singer's career
Her vocal debut came in 2020, when the aspiring performer took part in a competition for young artists, winning her first music award there.
The successful debut inspired Sievert to further pursue music and improve her vocal abilities. She began to regularly practice vocals in a specialized professional studio, along the way acquiring a number of important contacts in terms of creative development and growth.
The girl still feels a great sense of gratitude and sympathy for the teachers who worked with her at that time. Later she was able to assemble her own musical team.
The arrival of popularity
Julia's fame was brought by the video clip “Chuck”, which appeared on the Internet in April 2020, filmed for the composition of the same name. Everyone was able to participate in its creation, whom the singer invited to participate in the filming through social networks. This video, ironic in essence, and budget-friendly for the money invested in it, shot from a quadcopter and a camera mounted on a car, quickly collected more than half a million views.
In the fall of 2020, another popular video of the singer followed, “Anesthesia,” which consolidated her initial success and was filmed by director Maria Skobeleva, known for her previous works with American hip-hop artists.
At the same time, Yulia enters into a contract with the First Music Publishing House label, which collaborates with Dima Bilan, Ivan Dorn, Rita Dakota, Nyusha and other famous performers. Concluding an agreement with a well-known and influential label allowed the singer to join a professional team that facilitates the full development of her creative potential.
Soundtrack for a TV project
In December 2020, the singer became a guest of the program “Party Zone Muz-TV”, and just before the New Year she visited A. Malakhov’s program “Live Broadcast”, where she sang in a duet with Karina Khvoinitskaya the composition “Wind of Change”, which was first heard in the film about Mary Poppins.
Subsequently, this song was included in the soundtrack to the television series “Chernobyl 2. Exclusion Zone,” which started on the same days.
Release of debut album and first tour
At the beginning of 2020, the singer released her debut album, called “Shine.” According to her own plan, the released record should evoke positive and sublime emotions in the listener. All the songs on the album are in a similar style, defined by Yulia as “Vintage pop”. But the presence of a common style and a unified concept does not negate the originality of each specific composition on the record, their imagery, individuality and unique mood.
The autumn months of 2020 were marked by her first tour for the singer, and the debut tour was immediately followed by the next one, during which the artist visited not only Russian, but also several Belarusian cities.
Performer's career today
The beginning of 2020 will be remembered for the singer’s unique career record - her song “Life” was ranked eighth on Apple Music in terms of the number of streams and became the fifth most purchased on iTunes.
The new tour that took place this year significantly expanded the list of places she visited: many Russian cities were added to them, as well as Odessa and Chisinau, then the performer visited Kazakhstan for the first time.
In January 2020, fans were able to listen to Yulia’s live broadcast on Avtoradio, and a month later she gave an impromptu concert in the capital’s metro.

In those same days, Siewert took part in the major festival “Big Love Show”, held by “Love Radio” for the first time in her career, calling her participation in this event an important and unexpected event for her. In the spring, she received the first big award in her career, becoming the winner of the BraVo award for the main breakthrough of last year.
Dreams and creative plans
The singer’s immediate plans include performing a song together with a celebrity, while the name of the other half of the duet has not yet been revealed to the public. She also wants to learn to play the synthesizer, sing a jazz-style composition and record a solo album with lyrics in English. At the same time, work is underway on the performer’s next Russian-language album.
The most famous videos and compositions
"Chuck"
A debut low-budget and in its own way unusual video, created not at all according to the canon of the music video genre. All the characters in the video were played by people who did not know each other, whom the singer invited to participate in the work on the video, having announced its filming on her Instagram page the day before.
"Anesthesia"
The plot of the video was written by its creators under the influence of the X-Men comics. Siewert appeared in the video in a kind of futuristic image, designed to reveal the sensual side of her character.
"Life"
The filming of the video for the song “Life” took place in Hong Kong, although it was originally planned to be filmed in New York, but Yulia was unable to promptly obtain an American visa. Over two days of filming, the group managed to work in a dozen different city locations, although none of the participants in the process had ever been to Hong Kong before. In many ways, this fruitful work was facilitated by a specially hired guide, a local resident who spoke Russian, although much was done impromptu.
As a result, we managed to get a very dynamic, atmospheric video, imbued with the spirit and life of the big city, reflecting its non-stop, seething life, which is what the creators of the video required.
The Asian flavor added originality to the video, and, according to the singer, she was completely satisfied with the final result of the work. She stopped regretting that the video was not filmed in New York, because over the past few decades this city has become quite familiar in various music videos.
Yulia called Hong Kong a strange city, but it fully corresponded to her inner feelings and the message that the creators tried to convey to viewers through the video, in particular, the so-called positive loneliness, often felt by residents of megacities.
Personal life
Hides his personal life
Little is known about the singer’s personal life. Yulia is not married and has no children. Around 2020, she began dating a certain Evgeniy, who worked as a DJ. On social networks, the artist often shared their photos, which told about the couple’s joint travels, mainly to Asian countries. Her mother fully approved of her daughter’s choice, considering the young people an almost ideal couple.
But a year ago, the performer stopped posting joint photos with her lover, although there were no hints of a break in the relationship either. For this reason, many fans of the singer believed that Siewert simply wants to hide her personal life from the views of strangers, protecting herself and her loved ones from the unnecessary and not always pleasant close attention of others. But the relationship within the couple, in their opinion, has still been preserved, it’s just that now they are carefully hidden due to the rapidly increasing popularity of the artist.
Also, Yulia has more than once admitted her affection for her family members: her mother, older sister and grandfather, she calls them her main critics and the most important friends in life. Her mother was and remains her main fan and adviser, and the singer considers her grandfather to be an excellent conversationalist and simply a wise man.
