At the enchanting anniversary concert dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the group and held in November in the Kiev palace “Ukraine”, the former and current sexy soloists of “VIA Gra” hugged and kissed on stage, and behind the scenes they did not hide their negative attitude towards each other. So, according to some media reports, at a rehearsal Meikher called Bushmina a “shitty ballerina” after the girl demonstrated several dance moves. Although it was possible that this was said as a joke, because Eva herself later noted that she saw off Nadya, who left the team in November 2011 due to pregnancy, literally with tears in her eyes. VIA GRA - “Get Out” In 2010, Life-Star magazine included the singer in the “Top 10 Discoveries of the Year.” Then, having starred in several candid photo shoots and demonstrating her slender figure, the performer took fourth position in the “Sex Symbol of Ukraine” rating from the BLIK publication.

In December of the same year, the collapse of VIA Gra was announced.

Music

The creative biography of Eva Bushmina began in her student years. For some time, the girl was a soloist in the musical group Lucky and a ballet dancer in The Best. She also tried her hand as a TV presenter of the Guten Morgen program on the M1 channel.

But all this was just preparation for Eva Bushmina’s finest hour. In the fall of 2009, the girl took part in the selection for the Ukrainian reality show “Star Factory”. The girl managed to leave behind several hundred applicants and got into the project. The contestant reached the final. On New Year's Eve the names of the winners were announced. Bushmina received 5th place.

In the winter of 2010, the manufacturers went on a tour of the cities of Ukraine. Eva Bushmina toured with everyone. The girl also took part in two final concerts in Kyiv. But the singer refused the offer to sing at the 3rd concert, because she signed a contract with the VIA Gra group, in which a place had just become available after the departure of Tatyana Kotova.

Eva Bushmina, having an attractive figure (with a height of 165 cm, her weight is 56 kg) and a strong voice, received an offer from the producer of the group. Initially, the trio, which included Eva, consisted of former members Albina Dzhanabaeva and Nadezhda Granovskaya, but the latter was replaced by member Santa Dimopoulos in 2011.

Bushmina made her debut as part of this female team in March 2010. This happened at the comedy show “Evening Quarter”, after which the musical group went on a tour of the cities of Ukraine with the anniversary program “VIA-GRAFIA”. Eva Bushmina, as part of a musical group, participated in the New Wave 2010 festival; at the author’s evening with David Tukhmanov, the group performed the song “Hutsulochka”.

The debut song performed by Eva Bushmina in the group was the track “Get Out!” In 2010, Eva was included in the TOP 10 discoveries of the year. This was followed by work on the songs “A Day Without You”, “Hello, Mom!” and clips on them.

For the 10th anniversary of the founding of the VIA Gra group, the girls were invited to film the program “Let Them Talk,” in which, in addition to the three current soloists, former performers took part - Alena Vinnitskaya, Vera Brezhneva, Meseda Bagaudinova, Svetlana Loboda and Olga Koryagina. The celebration continued with a big concert at the Kiev Palace of Arts “Ukraine”, at which, in addition to the current lineup, the golden lineup of “VIA Gra” (Vera Brezhneva, Nadezhda Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova) performed.

In 2010, the group’s ratings steadily began to fall: out of the planned 80th anniversary concerts, only 15 took place. General producer Dmitry Kostyuk terminated the contract with the group. “VIA Gra” became the winner of the “Disappointment of the Year” award “ZD Awards”. In 2011, the musical group lost in the “Best Group” category at the Muz TV awards, but Konstantin Meladze continued to develop the project. The girls went to the next festival “New Wave 2011” and a big tour of Belarus. Another replacement of the lead singer in 2011 again affected the group’s ratings, which resulted in another “Disappointment of the Year” award.

In 2012, the girl temporarily left the team, deciding to participate in the “Star Factory: Russia – Ukraine” project. Since Santa Dimopoulos had left VIA Gro by this time, Eva Bushmina still remained in the team, which had now turned into a duet. But at the end of the year it was already clear that the project would cease to exist. Konstantin Meladze's message became the main news of this period in the field of show business.

In the same 2012, Eva Bushmina announced that she was ready for a solo career. The following year, the singer’s debut hit “Soboy” appeared. Soon a video was shot for the song. The single premiered in March 2013. And in July, the singer’s fans received a new gift: the song “Summer for Rent.”

Eva Bushmina demonstrated miracles of hard work. Already in September 2013, a new single “Religion” was released, which was also received favorably. Since Konstantin Meladze’s new project, the reality show “I Want V VIA Gro,” was launched in 2013, the producer was looking for mentors for the competition. Eva Bushmina refused the offer from her former manager - the girl had recently become a mother and could not be away from her newborn daughter for a long time.

In December, fans of Eva Bushmina watched the transformations of their favorite singer in the program “Yak dvi krapli”. On the screen, the artist appeared in the images of Laima Vaikule, Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Rihanna and even Mikhail Boyarsky. The following year, the single “Can’t Be Changed” was released.

In the spring of 2020, the singer surprised fans. The artist announced that the “Eva Bushmina” project is closed. In its place came another called “LAYAH”. This word, taken from Sanskrit, means “dissolution,” and in yoga practice it means getting rid of duality. This is what Eve strives for. The girl has returned her real name, Yana, and is declaring a new image in which the artist will be herself. Yana has been recording the songs that appeared on the artist’s first album under a new name since 2014.

In the spring of the same year, LAYAH starred in the title role of the social film “Swallow the Dust” by Nicky Madisan.

Solo career

At the beginning of 2013, the ex-Viagra woman began her solo career, presenting the hit “Soboy,” which personified a new milestone in her work, and a video clip in which the singer meets a prince on a white horse.
In July of the same year, the premiere of her composition “Summer for Rent” took place, where she sang the most wonderful time when everyone dreams of meeting true love. In September, the singer pleased her fans with the single “Religion”. The filming of the music video of the same name was carried out in Lviv in black and white, allowing viewers to plunge into the world of experiences of its heroes - a young man and a girl who met on the station platform.

Eva Bushmina - “Religion” (2013) At the end of the year, the artist shone on the Ukrainian TV show of transformations “Yak dvi krapli”. Together with other participants - Olya Polyakova, Irina Rosenfeld, Alina Grosu, EL Kravchuk, Fagot, Dantes, Natalya Mogilevskaya, Valery Kharchyshin and Vasily Bondarchuk - she very believably, brightly and artistically played the role of show business stars. Among others, she embodied the image of Adele, Rihanna, Lara Fabian and even Michael Jackson and Mikhail Boyarsky, heroically imitating the hoarseness of a musketeer's voice.

“Like two drops”: Eva Bushmina in the image of Alla Pugacheva

In April 2014, the vocalist presented her next video work for the composition “#kakvoda” (“Like Water”), made in Spain in partnership with Ukrainian video director Tanya Muinho. This composition was created especially for the singer by the talented participant of “Voice of the Country” Rozhden Anusi.

In September of the same year, she presented the video “Cannot be Changed”, the creator of which was again Muinho, and the author of the music was Born Anousi.

Eva Bushmina - “Cannot be Changed” In 2020, the singer presented a new extraordinary sound, “Not a Crime,” created by Rozhen Anusi in a unique style. He declares the idea that no matter how difficult it is to love a person without reciprocity, you still cannot go against your heart, since going against it means destroying yourself.

Its filming took place on the roof of an old Odessa house.

Now Eva Bushmina performs under the pseudonym Layah.
During this period, she took part in the social project of the Nika Medisan brand with the support of the World Fund for Nature Protection WWF, performing together with Rudolf Krajewski, the founder of the Vegano Hooligano fast food chain, a role in the short film “Swallow the Dust.” “Swallow the Dust” (2016) In September, she presented her first studio disc “Layah”, the author of all eleven tracks of which was Rozhen Anousi. In support of it, a video was released for the song “Weightless,” filmed in Spain. The following month, the artist released the album, adding four new compositions. Its presentation took place in December at the Bel'etage nightclub in the Ukrainian capital. A month earlier, a new video from the ex-Viagryanka “Betrayed” was released, telling about devotion and betrayal. Layah - “Betrayed” (2016) In 2020, Layah presented to fans a candid photo shoot and a new video for the song “Don’t Hide,” created in Los Angeles, a city where, according to the singer, “you want to create without wasting a second.” "

Working on a solo project

After giving birth, Eva’s husband, Dmitry Lanovoy, supported his wife in every possible way and helped care for her newborn daughter. Thanks to the support of her relatives, Eva did not stay on maternity leave for long, wrote songs and soon began working on a solo project. Eva Bushmina released her debut album together with Rozhden Anusi. For the second album, “Out of Time,” the artist wrote the lyrics herself.

The album turned out to be very sensual, dreamy and quite personal. The listener involuntarily plunged into his own inner world and thought about important points. The stories from the songs were perfectly complemented by deep video works.

“I write the lyrics directly on my phone, because inspiration can come at any moment. At the time of creation, the works seemed ideal to me. They are a reflection of my inner world and personal experiences. When I performed tracks written by another person, there was a feeling that I could do the job differently, write a much better song.

Now I share my own perception of the world and am the author of my own creativity. I don't create fashion tracks aimed at the general public. I don't want everyone to listen to my music. I am pursuing a more global goal,” says Eva Bushmina about her work.

The artist is known for the following hits: “Like Water”, “Cannot Be Changed” (2014) “Not a Crime” (2015) “Betrayed” (2016)

In 2020, a video clip for the song “Don’t Hide” was released. Filming took place in Los Angeles. Here, as the singer says, “you want to create something new without wasting a second.” In addition to her musical career, despite her short stature, Eva Bushmina was constantly invited to participate in photo shoots for glossy magazines, and she periodically delighted viewers with her stunning photos.

Konstantin Meladze cheating on his wife with Eva Bushmina?

Today it’s no secret to anyone: Valery Meladze has been living with two families for seven years now. He is raising three daughters with his legal wife Irina, and he is raising a son with his mistress, lead singer of the group “VIA Gra” Albina Dzhanabaeva. But few people know that his older brother Konstantin (also, by the way, a father of many children) could not resist the charms of one of the lead singers of the sex-pop group.

Unlike Valery Meladze, the personal life of his older brother, composer and producer, Konstantin, was shrouded in mystery for a long time. Kostya did not go to social events, was not involved in scandals, and did not have children on the side. But recently it became known that 48-year-old Konstantin went to the left, having an affair with 21-year-old VIA Gra soloist Eva Bushmina, Express Gazeta writes.

Valery loves Albina, and Konstantin loves Eva

Long-legged bitch

All sorts of rumors are circulating around Kyiv about the 21-year-old blonde Eva Bushmina, who joined the group in March 2010. Her real name is Yana Shvets . Secular gossips claim that she is actually interested not in men, but in girls. Moreover, in the Ukrainian community, until recently, they were sure that she lived with Nastya Kamenskikh . This is evidenced by a lot of paparazzi photos. Eva herself explains these kisses with Nastya by the fact that she and the Kamenskys have been friends since early childhood. However, in her online diary there are many piquant pictures with completely different girls, and this leads to certain thoughts.

— Eva is not new to show business. Stas Lisyansky told Express Gazeta . - Men love those. Long-legged bitch. She sang in the group “Lucky”, then she was a presenter on the “M1” channel. She didn't look so attractive then. And then she broke through to the casting of the show “Star Factory-3”, where she was noticed by Kostya Meladze . Through his efforts, she reached the finals, took overall fifth place and first among girls.

Not only their colleagues know about the romance of Kostya and Eva (Nadezhda MEIKHER in the photo), but also the entire Kiev show business (photo zvezd.net)

There was a moment at the Factory that everyone still remembers. When Bushmina was supposed to fly out of the project, she was unexpectedly saved by the general director of the New Channel Irina Lysenko . Kostya Meladze asked her to do this. He himself could not help his favorite - he had already used his veto power for another participant. But how he looked at Eve! I couldn’t take my eyes off the stage when she was rehearsing for the broadcast!

And the future soloist of “VIA Gra” then had a blast live: she hugged Konstantin Meladze, who was sitting on the jury, and sat on his lap. It was then, according to Ukrainian music critics, that a spark broke out between them.

“Everyone knew that Bushmina was being driven by Meladze,” Lisyansky continued. - Therefore, when a couple of months later Kostya introduced her as the new soloist of VIA Gra instead of the departed Tanya Kotova , no one was surprised. Talk about their romance began immediately. Everyone around knew about this, except for Kostya’s wife, Yana. Although maybe she pretended not to know...

Housewife wife

The other half of Konstantin - 36-year-old Yana Meladze (nee Summ ) is used to staying in the shadow of her successful husband. Yana long ago abandoned her own career and, despite her spectacular appearance, leads the life of an ordinary housewife. He is raising three children - 11-year-old Alice, 7-year-old Leah and 5-year-old Valery (Konstantin named his youngest son after his brother by long-standing agreement).

Yana and her children live near Kiev - in Koncha-Zaspa - in a luxurious mansion. But the neighbors notice that Konstantin himself is a rare guest there now. His and Yana’s marriage turned 17 this summer. Yana hardly communicates with journalists, preferring to remain silent about family problems. But those close to her know that she was always burdened by the presence of a mass of young, pretty girls around her husband. In her rare interviews, a woman's resentment shines through. And when asked about the “crisis” in family relationships, Yana sighs heavily:

“Nothing can save men, they are hopeless... But seriously, it’s not a matter of age-related crises.

The romance between the producer and his ward began live on the “Zirok Factory”

I really like the idea that love is an act of endless generosity. Infinite! Love can only be unconditional when you forgive everything in advance. Nevertheless, I protect my family from my husband’s many fans. I have recipes that I can’t give out, because I still feel like I’ll be using them more than once. I know that Irina, Valera’s wife, got much more than I did...

Naturally, most of all Yana Meladze was afraid of repeating the story with Kostya’s brother Valera, who was taken away from the family by Albina Dzhanabaeva . But she thought like a woman - her husband would definitely not abandon her, who gave birth to Kostya not only two daughters, but also an heir, which every Georgian dreams of.

However, recently, friends have noted that Yana is increasingly sad. On Facebook, where she started her page this summer, for some reason she did not write her married name, but left her maiden name - Summ. In Yana’s online albums there is not a single photograph together with Kostya. But there is a photo with a mysterious unknown man: perhaps this photo is one of the rare ones where Konstantin Meladze’s wife is smiling.

Shameless kisses

Meanwhile, the newly-minted lead singer of VIA Gra, Eva Bushmina, who had not even worked in the group for a year, got a cherry Lexus out of nowhere. In the last issue of Express Newspaper we already told you that new soloists in the group are paid mere pennies. And here is such luxury!

But the matter did not end there. Soon Eva changed her car to an even cooler one - a BMW X6! It shows a girl driving around Kyiv. To all her friends’ questions about the origin of the car worth almost $120,000, Eva lowers her blue eyes. Don't ask, it's a secret.

At the 10th anniversary of the VIA Gra group, the paparazzi captured the tender hugs and kisses of Konstantin Meladze and Bushmina after the press conference.

... ended with the birth of their common son Kostya and the singer’s divorce after 21 years of marriage

By the way, Meladze and Bushmina, perhaps for the first time, stopped hiding their relationship in public. When asked whether Eva took additional master classes for VIA Gra, Konstantin squinted like a cat:

“Eva really knows how to do everything, and we don’t provide her with additional training.” She is already trained, even too much, I would say...

Bushmina blushed embarrassedly. And she admitted:

— When Kostya invited me to sing in VIA Gre, I fainted! Is it true!

That same night, by the way, near the Kyiv restaurant “Pena”, where the Meladze brothers and the lead singers of the group were walking at a banquet, Konstantin and Eva were caught again. Paparazzi filmed their kiss near the car.

The establishment's waitress shared her observations with reporters. According to her, in the closed VIP room both brothers were with the girls: Valery did not let Albina out of his hairy clutches, and his brother passionately kissed the long-legged blonde.

The last time Konstantin Meladze and Eva Bushmina were seen was recently in the fashionable Kiev sushi bar “Nobu”: the couple had dinner together and again indulged in tenderness.

According to Eva, she is simply friends with Nastya KAMENSKY...
