Childhood
Evgenia Otradnaya was born on March 13, 1986 in Krasnoturinsk, Sverdlovsk region.
Already in kindergarten it became clear that the girl would be an extraordinary person. Zhenya Otradnaya showed great interest in stage and singing. After graduating from kindergarten, at the age of 7, the girl begins to study at the Palace of Culture of Metallurgists. Zhenya, under the leadership of Alexey Anatolyevich Andriyanov, performs as part of the show group “Pharaohs”. The talent was there. And success was not long in coming. Already in 1994 and 1995, Zhenya Otradnaya conquered famous all-Russian music competitions, such as “Golden Cockerel”, “At Cinderella’s Ball” and “Morning Star”. However, in those same years, the girl took home victories not only from domestic competitions, but also from foreign ones. So, at the international children's competition called “Golden Coin”, which took place in 1995 in Italy, Zhenya Otradnaya won the “Grand Prix”. The competition jury especially noted her performance. The Italians were so impressed and captivated by the young singer that they confidently declared that the girl had a great future ahead of her.
Project "Voice"
Zhenya Otradnaya decided to return to the stage. To do this, she came to the TV show “Voice 7”. She was supported by her husband and two charming daughters. But when there was a blind audition exam, Zhenya failed, since none of the mentors turned their chair towards her.
The episode of the TV show, where the star singer participated, was released on October twenty-sixth. And the mentors then were such famous performers as Konstantin Meladze, Basta, Ani Lorak and Sergei Shnurov. The girl chose the piercing song “The January Blizzard is Ringing” for this music competition. The girl wanted to show off her talent and beautiful voice, but, alas, no one turned to her.

Despite the fact that Zhenya was certainly upset by this result, she tried to remain calm. After the show, Valery Meladze tried to console her. But Zhenya Otradnaya believes that she will soon return to the stage anyway, because she has great talent and a wonderful voice.
Carier start
After a series of successes, Zhenya Otradnaya sings and performs in the show group “Pharaohs” for another 10 years. However, the group is popular only in Krasnoturinsk and the Sverdlovsk region. Not a single city holiday takes place without Zhenya’s participation, however, regional fame was not enough for the girl. At local performances and concerts, Zhenya gained experience and improved her performing skills, and decided to conquer new heights.
Young singer Zhenya Otradnaya
A new step in his career was overcome in 2003. It was then that Zhenya Otradnaya moved with her family to Taganrog and began to conquer this city with her talent. In 2005, the singer’s popularity began to gain momentum thanks to the television competition “Secret of Success”. The girl went to Samara for the casting without hesitation, passed it and was allowed to take part in the concert. Our heroine passed each round of the competition with confidence and eventually made it to the finals. The singer performed brilliantly at the “Secret of Success” gala concert, however, she failed to win. In the final, she lost slightly to a performer named Vladimir Sapovsky. The young man took first place, while Evgenia Otradnaya only took second place.
In the fall of 2007, Zhenya Otradnaya took part in the “Five Stars” competition for young performers, which was held in Sochi. On it, the singer won only second, but no less honorable, place. Members of the jury, as well as journalists, spectators and even critics, did not spare words in praising the artist. Everyone praised her talent and especially emphasized Zhenya’s energy.
By the way, from the age of seven the girl began performing in front of unfamiliar audiences. At weddings. At the Palace of Culture, where Zhenya studied, there were special events almost every weekend. There was a small promising singer as a guest artist.
Joyful and fiery Zhenya Otradnaya
Evgenia admits that she was an invited guest at a wedding only once. In 2009, the singer came to a banquet with her friend. And I found out that there was no entertainment program at the celebration, and there was not even a toastmaster. Experienced Evgenia immediately took control of the situation and entertained the invited guests throughout the evening: she said toasts, sang songs (the singer almost always carries CDs with music with her) and held competitions. The next wedding, Zhenya is sure, will be her own.

Singer Zhenya Otradnaya

Already at the age of seven years, the young talent gets into the show group of Alexei Anatolyevich Andriyanov “Pharaohs”. The children's and youth team gave Otradnaya the opportunity to publicly express herself.
Since 1994, the talented performer has stormed not only domestic music competitions (“Golden Cockerel”, “Morning Star”), but also conquered the foreign stage. Thus, at the international children's festival “Golden Coin”, which took place in Italy, Zhenya Otradnaya won the “Grand Prix”. The jury simply could not resist the temperament of the artistic girl.
Zhenya Otradnaya in childhood
After a series of early successes, Evgenia performed in Pharaohs for another ten years. True, the team was known only in Krasnoturinsk and the Sverdlovsk region, and the girl’s regional fame was no longer enough.
In 2003, Zhenya and her family moved to Taganrog. There she entered the Taganrog College of Music to major in choral conducting.
Evgenia had warm relations with her classmates. The cheerful girl did not conflict with anyone. Moreover, being a pacifist by nature, Otradnaya more than once smoothed out conflicts that occasionally arose in the team. Everyone was delighted with the talented beauty. True, the teachers did not believe that Zhenya would be able to achieve anything, considering her talents to be quite mediocre.
Zhenya Otradnaya in her youth
Soon fate gave the ambitious brunette the opportunity to show herself in all her glory. The television competition “The Secret of Success” became the starting point in the career of the aspiring singer. The girl easily passed the qualifying rounds in Samara. At each stage of the competition, her star flared up with new, unprecedented power.
Evgenia performed brilliantly at the gala concert, but she failed to win. In the final, performer Vladimir Sapovskoy beat her. The guy took first place, and Evgenia, no less honorable, took second. After this experience, Otradnaya went towards her goal with even greater zeal.
Zhenya Otradnaya at rehearsal
From the star’s biography it is known that in the fall of 2007 Zhenya participated in the “Five Stars” competition for young performers, which was held in Sochi. The singer also won second place there. Members of the jury, journalists, spectators and even critics did not skimp on compliments to the aspiring singer. Those present highly appreciated Zhenya’s talent and “blood-stirring” energy.
Debut album
Zhenya Otradnaya released her debut album “Let's Run Away” in 2008. In the same year, the singer received the prestigious Golden Gramophone award for the song “Go away and close the door.” The composition, by the way, was first performed on Russian Radio and immediately gained wild popularity.
In proud loneliness
The singer’s first disc included 17 songs, including the super-tracks “Go Away” and “I Love You Very Much.” The album also includes dance mixes for these compositions. The presentation of the album took place at the Moscow Opera club. Admission to it was free, however, only about a hundred people gathered in the auditorium. Nevertheless, the audience was more than worthy. Among the connoisseurs of creativity were Nikolai Baskov, Arkady Ukupnik, Yulia Nachalova and her husband, Vladimir Matetsky, Dmitry Malikov and Igor Matvienko. Zhenya performed the entire concert live and made an impression on Baskov. After the second song, a bouquet from Nikolai flew onto the stage, and his admiring compliments were heard.
By the way, in parallel with preparing for the release of her debut album, Zhenya was preparing to participate in the qualifying round of the Eurovision 2008 contest. The song “POQUE AMOR” was prepared for him, which the girl performed in Spanish. The Russian-language version of the song is called “Why Love.” However, the girl did not succeed in representing Russia at the prestigious competition. From our country, Dima Bilan went to Serbian Belgrade, who took first place with the song “Believe”.
Evgenia’s work is entirely devoted to love. Each song is filled with feelings and emotions. However, the artist has nothing to do with the text and music. All songs are written by professionals and the compositions, of course, are not autobiographical. However, as the girl herself admits, the artist brings something of her own to each song, experiences and lives a mini-story of the song. On stage, Zhenya Otradnaya behaves completely naturally and does not pretend.
However, in musical love stories, the girl says, there is a piece of truth about her. Although the singer is an optimistic person in life, she has had many sad moments, including in relationships with men. And this was reflected in her character and attitude. The girl considers this an experience, albeit a negative one, and does not regret what happened.
