Olga Orlova in childhood and youth
As a child, our heroine had many complexes. First of all, she had a complex because of her short stature. Olga was the shortest in the class, so her peers often teased her. With age, all complexes went away. Already in high school, she noticed that boys began to pay attention to her. Then she realized that men like short ladies because next to them they can feel like knights.

Olya grew up as a creative child. From an early age, the girl dreamed of connecting her life with the big stage. She studied music and even sang in the school choir. The parents did not share this attraction for their daughter; they wanted their child to take up a serious occupation in order to have a respectable profession in the future.

After graduating from secondary school, Olga, on the recommendations of her mother and father, entered the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics, Faculty of Economics. Life turned out in such a way that our heroine never worked in her specialty. She decided to connect her life with music and theater.

Childhood and youth
Olga Orlova (real name Nosova) was born in Moscow on November 13, 1977. Olya’s dad, Yuri Vladimirovich, worked in medicine, he was a cardiologist, and his mother, Galina Egorovna, was an economist. Among Olya’s relatives there were never people associated with music and singing. It’s unclear where, but from early childhood the girl just had a mad desire to become a singer and devote her whole life to music. This was her dream.
Having started her studies at a comprehensive school, Olya simultaneously began studying piano at a music school, and also sang in the choir. The parents, although they sent their daughter to music classes, were worried all this time that music would interfere with the implementation of their plans for the future of their child. They really wanted Olya to graduate from university and become an economist. The girl was the only child in the family and it is quite understandable that the parents wanted only the best career and life for their child.
Olya, as now, was also small in childhood. She was the smallest in the class and had a terrible complex about this. It always seemed to her that a beautiful woman is thin and tall, and since she herself is so small, then she cannot have admirers. With age, Olya began to have suitors, and quite a few. The boys showed great interest in her, and then she finally calmed down and stopped worrying about her short stature. Now, many years later, she thinks differently:
“As life shows, men really like small women. Next to them they feel like knights.”
Olga successfully studied at both schools and, as her mother and father wanted, entered the Moscow Economic Statistical Institute, from which she also graduated well in the Faculty of Economics.
First steps on the career ladder: Olga Orlova and “Brilliant”
Olga Orlova began her creative biography at the age of eighteen. Already in her first year at the institute, the girl was included in the first line-up of the new group “Brilliant”. A good friend of Orlova is Christian Ray. The guy was the lead singer of the very popular group “MF-3” at that time and had good connections in show business. It was thanks to Christian that Olya met the group’s producer Andrei Viktorovich Grozny.

In the mid-90s, the MF-3 project was closed. Christian Ray stopped performing and devoted himself entirely to religion. Andrei Grozny just then began creating a new project. The producer wanted to realize the idea of a Russian “Space Girls”, similar to the American ones. Our heroine today became the first star of a new female musical group, as she successfully passed the audition, during which she charmed Grozny.

The girl suggested that Andrei Viktorovich take her friend Polina Iodis into the group. The girl did not have good vocals, but was very harmonious in the frame. The musical ensemble was supplemented by the talented choreographer Varvara Koroleva. The spectacular trio literally won the hearts of listeners from the very first songs. The first video was shot for the song “There, Only There”.

In the winter of 1996, the fatal brunette Zhanna Friske became part of the musical group. Initially, the girl served as artistic director. She dealt with all organizational issues and also assigned numbers to the girls. In the spring of 1997, the girl starred with other members of the group in the video “Flowers”. Since then, Friske has become a full-fledged member of Blestyashchie.
Olga Orlova's career began early
In 1997, the debut album of “Brilliant” was released, entitled “There, Only There”. Soon after this, the team lost one singer. Varvara Koroleva decided to leave the group in order to start building a personal career. Her place was taken by the red-haired beauty with mesmerizing eyes Irina Lukyanova . The new member quickly adapted to numerous tours.

The same year a video clip for the song “Clouds” was released. The song topped the country's main hit parades. The girls became stars on the Russian stage. Andrei Grozny realized that the team was going in the right direction. The composition “Cha-cha-cha” took the group to a new level. "Brilliant" began performing in large concert halls.
Olga Orlova came into show business as soon as she came of age
In 1998, Polina Iodis left the team. After leaving the “Brilliant” group, the girl devoted her life to extreme sports, as she had always been interested in this activity. In her place they invited former member of the “Class” group Ksenia Novikova. With the new lineup, the team shot a candid video for the song “Ciao, Bambino,” which was not released on the big screen for a long time. This song became an all-Russian hit after Alexey Ryzhov, a member of the Disco Accident group, made a remix.
Best friends
In the early 2000s, the creative biography of our heroine took a sharp turn. Olga became pregnant and had to leave the women's group "Brilliant". Representatives of the yellow press spread rumors that Orlova was kicked out of the group for concealing her interesting position.

Leaving Blestyashchie was a heavy blow for Orlova. All rights to the songs belonged to the producer, and she had no right to perform them. Until now, many fans believe that the “golden line-up” of the “Brilliant” group looks like this: Olga Orlova - Polina Iodis - Irina Lukyanova - Zhana Friske.

After pregnancy, Orlova became catastrophically fat, and she had to spend a lot of effort to return herself to her previous physical shape. The only plus was that her husband did not interfere with her creative impulses, but, on the contrary, invested no less than a million dollars in the promotion of her solo project. It must be said frankly that without this financial support the singer would hardly have succeeded.
Solo career
In 2001, Olga Orlova began building her solo career. On December 15, 2001, at Gorbushkiny Dvor, the singer presented her debut album entitled “First”. Olga shot videos for the compositions “Late”, “Angel” and “I’m with you”.
The following year, the artist went on tour. She gave concerts in cities such as Kyiv, Khabarovsk, Almaty, Kaliningrad and Blagoveshchensk. In the winter of 2003, Olga Orlova performed the song “I am always with you” Andrei Gubin

From 2002 to 2004 she was a participant in the Song of the Year festival. In 2002 she performed the song “Late”, in 2003 - “I am always with you” and “Violet”, in 2004 - “Above the Sky”. At the end of 2003, the singer reached the finals, where she performed the composition “Palms”, the author of which is her good friend, member of the Amega and Vintage groups Alexey Dmitrievich Romanof.
It is worth noting that the singer, as the author of the words, twice became the winner of the festival, being part of the group “Brilliant”. In 2004, the famous German pop singer Thomas Anders filmed a video for the song “Tonight Is the Night”, in which our heroine played the main role.
The artist also participated in the festival “New Songs about the Main Thing,” where she performed the composition “Love Story” on stage in 2004, “I will sing” in 2005, and “She who is looking for love” in 2007. In 2006, a second album entitled “If you are waiting for me” was released. The music for most of the songs on the album was written by Alexey Romanof. The composition “Stop” from this album is the only one where Orlova herself acted as a composer.
In 2007, Olga decided to take a break from musical activity. Over the next eight years, she actively played in the theater and acted in films. She returned to the stage only in 2020. The girl performed the song “Bird”, the words for which she wrote herself, and the music was written by Alexey Romanof. On September 5, 2020, Olga’s first concert took place in Kerch on City Day, after an eight-year break.
In the winter of 2020, the premiere of a song dedicated to Zhanna Friske entitled “Farewell, my friend” took place, which Olga co-wrote with Maxim Fadeev . The same year, a new composition based on the poems of Mikhail Safarbekovich Gutseriev, entitled “A Simple Girl,” was released.
Solo career, film and television
After the birth of her child, Olga began to build a solo career, wrote several songs, some of them (“Angel”, “Late”, “I’m with you”), videos were shot, and in 2002 her first solo album was presented to the public. Orlova thoroughly prepared for this event. She needed to lose 25 kg after giving birth. To do this, she spent two months on a strict diet. The presentation took place in Gorbushkin's yard, the album was called “First”. Together with Olya there were two more girls on stage - Marina and Oksana. She selected them herself, but this in no way indicated the creation of a new group. Girls were needed exclusively for backup dancers and backup singers.
Active tours began. 2002 was full of Olga's solo concerts in Russian cities and neighboring countries (Ukraine and Kazakhstan).
Olya worked a lot in the studio, there were successful creative works in a duet with Andrei Gubin.
In 2003, Olga Orlova was offered to participate in the realistic show “The Last Hero”. She agreed and went to the Dominican Republic to film the project. On the island, she survived 38 days out of 39 stipulated by the terms of the project, left the show one day before the end and thus took third place.

Olga filled the break in her musical career with film work. In 2002, filming took place in the film “The Golden Age,” where she played Countess Olga Zherebtsova-Zubova. Kim Breitburg specially created a touching romance for this film. Olya sang it.

Friendship with Zhanna Friske
A special page in the biography and personal life of Olga Orlova is her friendship with Zhanna Friske. Female friendship is a rare phenomenon, and generally unique in show business. However, Orlova and Friske have established a tender, touching, almost sisterly relationship since the time they worked in “Brilliant”. They always supported each other and shared their most intimate things. During the tour they were housed in the same room. They were young and happy, joked, laughed, called each other funny nicknames “Eagle” and “Boar”
Orlova shared rare photos with Friske
When a tragedy happened in Friske’s life, it was Orlova who accompanied Friske on a trip to the United States of America to see oncology specialists. According to Orlov, she hoped for a miracle, and it seemed to happen: Frisk went into remission, and her friends returned to Russia. Unfortunately, the improvement turned out to be temporary.
Orlova spent all the most difficult and terrible days with her friend, doing everything to ease her suffering. And in the last hours she was nearby - Friske died in her arms. Zhanna Friske entrusted Orlova with becoming the godmother of her son Plato.
Orlova Olga and Friske
Olga Orlova is a sincere believer, and she approached this mission with all responsibility. According to her, she will not be able to replace Plato’s own mother, but she will do everything so that he grows up as a happy boy. Orlova admitted that she cannot forget Zhanna, does not delete her emails and text messages, and her friend often appears to her in her dreams.
Friendship with Friske
Olga quickly developed a friendly relationship with this girl. Since Orlova is 3 years younger than Friske, Zhanna has become something of an older sister. While traveling on numerous tours, both soloists lived in the same room, gave each other cool nicknames, and were aware of each other’s cherished secrets. Years later, Friske was dying of cancer, but Orlova still supported her friend. Zhanna, even when she was dying, shared everything with Olga: the birth of a child, Dmitry Shepelev’s proposal for a wedding...
Personal life
In 2001, Olga Orlova got married. Her husband, businessman Alexander Karmanov, had previously lived in a civil marriage with singer Natalya Lagoda for a long time. In their marriage, Orlova and Karmanov had a son, Artem. By the way, it is worth saying that not everyone welcomed this marriage. Knowledgeable people warned Orlova that Karmanov, the owner of the strip club “Dreams” and the owner of “House-2”, is a person with a controversial reputation.
Olga Orlova and Alexander Karmanov
There were already unpleasant rumors about Karmanov’s former common-law wife that she was “friends with the bottle and not friends with the head.” Lagoda was very upset about her husband's departure to his rival and attempted suicide by jumping out of a fifth-floor window in front of her son from her first marriage. Doctors managed to save Lagoda, but she lost her health and never performed on stage again.
Both Lagoda and many others blamed Orlova for this tragedy. She told a dramatic story about how Orlova came to her, declared that she was pregnant and demanded that Karmanov be given to her. Orlova herself denies all accusations and claims that she is not to blame for what happened. According to her, she never came to her husband’s ex-wife and did not make such statements, but began dating Karmanov when he himself had already left Natalya.
In 2004, the marriage of Orlova and Karmanov broke up, according to rumors, due to the fact that Karmanov tried to leave for his old passion, Irina Saltykova. After the divorce, Orlova had an affair with the famous producer and director Renat Davletyarov, and evil tongues claimed that Orlova owed her film roles to this relationship.
