Natasha Koroleva in her youth
In 1987, the future star took part in a creative competition that took place in the city of Evpatoria. She did not take a prize at this event, but this particular day became the happiest in the girl’s life. One of the spectators was Marta Mogilevskaya, who at that time was the music editor of Central Television. She became interested in Natasha and wanted to hear songs performed by the young artist. That is why the girl gave Mogilevskaya an audio cassette with her songs. In the future, this audio cassette brought her great success.
Soon the girl began her career as the host of the Kiev Beauty program. Many people began to watch this program. In 1988, Natalya Vladimirovna Koroleva became the host of the Academic Concert in the Organ Hall and the International Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship.
Koroleva's school years
Next, Natasha Koroleva graduated from school and decided to enter college. However, there were barriers to admission.

Koroleva now and in childhood

The queen began to sing from a young age
After performing in the United States of America, Natalya Vladimirovna was offered training at the Eastman School of Music at the elite University of Rochester. However, the Queen decided to refuse and leave for Moscow. The reason was that at that time Natasha received a message from Marta Mogilevskaya’s employees. The girl went to Moscow to audition for the popular composer and performer Igor Nikolaev. There were three girls, among whom Nikolaev took a long time to choose. He settled on Natasha Koroleva, although she did not interest him in any way.
Childhood and family of Lyudmila Rip
Lyudmila was born in Kyiv.
Almost nothing is known about her childhood, except that she was always interested in music. At the age of three, her mother enrolled her in a school for gifted children, which was opened at the Kyiv Conservatory. After school, Luda decided to connect her future life with music. Lyudmila was raised in strictness. There was a law according to which you had to return home before twelve o'clock. As Lyudmila Poryvay recalls, in her youth there was an incident when she stopped a police car so as not to be late home, otherwise a huge scandal would await her. Mom instilled in her daughter a love of family and taught her to value family values.
In Ukraine, as you know, there was and remains a cult of food. Lyudmila's family was no exception. Mom was an excellent cook, and she always did everything well. She also taught her daughter to cook. Many relatives gathered in their house on holidays, with whom the family always maintained warm family relationships. The tables were set “crazy”, there was baked turkey and stuffed fish, and much attention was paid to the colorful design of the dishes.
In the evening, the whole family always got together for dinner. Often after this, Lyudmila’s mother sang, and she sang so that all the neighbors were delighted. She instilled a love of singing in her daughter, and later in her granddaughters. Lyudmila’s mother dreamed of being a singer in her youth, but her life as a singer did not work out, but songs were always heard in the house. It was in her daughter that she saw her continuation.
The girl entered the Kyiv Conservatory and graduated with success. Her maiden name is Bystrik. During the course, she was called both “Sharp” and “Ball Lightning”, since her character was combative, decisive and very consistent with her surname. She was raised in the spirit that if something doesn't work out, it's her own fault. This helped the girl achieve a lot in life.
The beginning of Natasha Koroleva's career

He did not admire Natasha at all; she was too simple-minded for him and reminded him of a diva. However, after the Queen began to sing, Nikolaev’s opinion changed dramatically. From that moment, active cooperation between Koroleva and Nikolaev began. The composer soon created a song for Natalia called “Yellow Tulips” . That was the name of the artist’s first album.
