At the age of three, she first appeared on stage. In one of her interviews, Marina recalls that her older nine-year-old sister sat down at the piano. Then she herself entered the stage, and behind her the presenter brought out a huge heavy microphone, which was used in the late 80s.
The man handed her the equipment, but she refused: “No, uncle, keep it yourself!”. So the entertainer had to stay on stage with the girls and hold the microphone for the young star until the end of the performance.
continue the dynasty
When the children grew up a little, the parents separated. For some time, Vladimir Devyatov disappeared from the lives of girls. One day she will tell that she met him again when she turned 11. But then dad not only continued to raise children from his first marriage, but also helped to decide on the future. For Marina, absorbed in music since childhood, it turned out to be a foregone conclusion.
The children's performances were followed by the prestigious music school. Dmitry Shostokovich, and then dad decided to show the child the world of professional music from the inside and took it with him on a big tour. It was assumed that Marina would decide there whether she wanted to continue the dynasty.
National artist
Returning from the tour, the girl realized that she would connect her life with folk music and continued her studies in this direction. At the College of Music, Marina joined the Indrik-Beast group, which was engaged in modernizing Russian folk and giving it a fashionable sound. She remembers those years as a period of trials and experiments.
But television brought real fame to the girl. Having learned about the recruitment in the show "People's Artist - 3", Marina did not hesitate to try out. The show gave her a huge experience on the modern stage and, of course, a huge number of fans.
pickle jars like love
She says that the public's favorite began to be loaded with jars of jam and pickles, and in the market one day, her grandmother, who recognized her, poured a whole bag of vegetables and did not want to take the money.
Marina says that she loves and knows how to cook, but loves animals and does not eat their meat. The girl admits that, having learned about her vegetarian addictions, fans bring even more vegetables and fruits to concerts, thinking that vegetarians are starving.
tragic love
Fans noticed that one day Marina's songs became deeper, and the longing in the saddest of them became more heartfelt, and suggested that unrequited love happened in the girl's life. But it turned out that the feeling was mutual, but the story ended tragically.
It was the first serious relationship. A man much older than Marina, far from show business, a professional doctor, a respected specialist.
The artist admits that she was passionately in love, but one day the singer had to hear terrible news: her beloved was diagnosed with oncology. Doctors don't like to be treated. So their story with Marina ended with his departure. The girl was very upset by the tragedy.
Path to love
But everything eventually ends. A few years later, the already successful singer began to court the young singer Nikolai Demidov. They came together, and Marina has already admitted in an interview that she would like to hear an offer. But the marriage never happened. The couple parted badly: Demidov provoked a real scandal.
After a strange relationship, the girl could not enter a new one for a long time. A good friend and former young man came to the rescue: before the scandalous romance, in 2011, Alexei Pigurenko already lived with Marina. But then the relationship was upset because of some nonsense.
Second try
The former met for the second time in 2016. Now they themselves have become older, they were interested in being together. In the same year, the couple applied to the registry office, and the next year little Ulyana was born, to whom Marina devotes a lot of time and energy.
The singer says that she was on maternity leave for very little: a month before the birth of her daughter, fans persuaded her to finally rest and prepare for childbirth. And two months after giving birth, Marina returned to form and went on stage.
Soldier Jane
Ole is now two. Mom calls her "Soldier Jane", because the girl grows up restrained and not at all capricious. The family lives outside the city, in their own house. For Marina, this was not an easy decision - the girl grew up in Moscow.
However, now she is quite accustomed to nature and silence. The artist says that she wakes up from the singing of nightingales and the rustle of trees and has already forgotten how the sleepless city and noisy neighbors in city skyscrapers sound.
People like her are often told: “Your work is not a format,” but her songs prove the opposite. What kind of "not format" can we talk about if Marina Devyatova, a performer of Russian folklore, was honored to speak to several heads of state of Eurasia and to the English royal family? Laureate of international competitions and festivals, a favorite of a wide range of listeners around the world, she is currently one of the most sought-after folk singers in Russia and abroad.
The biography of the artist, widely covered in the media and on the Internet, is carefully studied by her fans. They are interested in absolutely everything related to the mention of Marina Devyatova. What is it like to feel the “burden” of the daughter of a famous person from childhood? How did she manage to establish a personal life, having gone through misunderstanding, quarrels and parting? What is known about her lifestyle and worldview? How actively does she perform now, and what are Marina's creative plans for the near future?

About early years and youth
It is worth mentioning Marina's ancestors first, because the singer's childhood was filled with their influence from an early age. “Ryazan grandma and grandpa” (her words) came to Moscow in their youth, my grandfather worked as a trolleybus driver, my grandmother worked as a cutter in an atelier. On the father's side, the girl's ancestors are from Kashira and Tambov. Regardless of profession, they were all creative people, they adored music and instilled in their granddaughter a love for Russian folklore.

Natalya Nikolaevna and Vladimir Sergeevich Devyatov, the parents of the future "pearl of Russia", were directly related to art. Father - People's Artist of the Russian Federation, head of the Center for Culture, a well-known performer of folk songs. Mom worked for a long time as a choreographer in the Dunayevsky Ensemble. When the girl was very young, her father had already begun to teach her to sing, and if she and her older sister Katya were sent for a walk, the little ones “didn’t like to collect leaves, breathe oxygen” (the artist’s words): they got into their grandfather’s trolleybus and rode, singing folk songs into the microphone hits.
In 1992, her father and mother divorced, but the girl managed to maintain a close relationship with Vladimir Sergeyevich and establish a warm relationship with her stepfather. At the age of seven, at the insistence of her parents, she entered the music school of Shostakovich. Teachers said about her: "Talented, but terribly lazy!"

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ And the mother caught her daughter at the “complex of excellent students, scaring: “You don’t want to go work as a janitor later.” Or she warned: “They will put a deuce, and you will stand and blush in front of the class, so choose to study or goof off.” She chose the first, and graduated from music school with honors.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ Upon graduating from high school, the girl will go to study at the Schnittke School of Music, despite the fact that the paternal prosecutor's grandfather insisted on a career as a lawyer for her granddaughter. Now, watching Marina's performances on TV, he says with pleasure: “What a blessing that she didn’t listen to me! Better sing." And her own father, when she was already a student, called her to him and offered to work in a vocal school. Even with classmates, the future artist went on musicological expeditions: they studied the song heritage in the Russian outback.

During one of these expeditions, Marina met Artem Vorobyov: he was the head of the Indrik-Zver ensemble. A fourth-year student of the college decided to professionally try to perform Russian and Old Slavonic songs in modern processing. Also in this group, interesting experiments were made on the arrangement of folk works in the style of "rock" with the use of ethnic wind instruments. Without stopping working at Indrik-Zvere, Marina Devyatova entered the Gnessin Academy in 2003 and graduated in 2009.
Hard road to fame
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ The first steps on the big stage gave Marina Devyatova an encouraging forecast that she would soon become famous.
- 2003: receiving the title of laureate at the competition of young performers "Slavianski Bazaar".
- 2005: successful performance as part of the Indrik-Zver group in Tushino at a rock festival.
- 2006: casting in the project "People's Artist" and reaching the final.
Here is what Oskar Kuchera, who was in the project at that stage on the jury, said. According to him, the girl tried to abandon her style and at the same time wanted to look her best - the notorious "complex of an excellent student" played a cruel joke on her. He advised to perform not what was given, but what was closest to her and her style. “You grew up on different music and it is commendable that you are trying to cope with any direction. Show yourself in your environment,” the actor advised. She chose Kursk ancient folklore. The audience remembered that significant moment when the surprised jury applauded, and one of them said: “So that's what you really are!”.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ The audience was divided into two parts: the older generation sent enthusiastic SMS, and the younger grumbled. As a result, she took second place - she was surpassed by the future soloist of the "Prime Minister" Borhuu Amarhuu. But she was not too upset, especially after the success of the joint duet with Alexei Goman (single "It could be love"). Devyatova during the live broadcasts of the program "People's Artist" has a huge army of fans.
After the project, the venerable producer Yevgeny Fridlyand offered Marina to sign a contract with FBI Music, and a life full of touring, filming and recording new works began. For the first time, her recordings could be listened to on a disc from the competition, where she took second place (the album was released in 2006), then in 2009 in the personal album “I didn’t think, I didn’t guess.” Following almost immediately, her solo concert took place at the Variety Theater of Moscow. And two years earlier, she went to Guatemala, where she took part in a big concert at the choice of a city for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games - she was called for an encore and demanded to repeat "Katyusha" eight times!
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ 2009 was very rich in significant cultural events in her life. At a secular reception organized by the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Orthodox Church, the singer performed “Looking into the Blue Lakes” for the British royal family, and the English queen herself applauded her. The London event added to her fans abroad, and a series of important people, in front of whom she later had a chance to speak, was replenished with such names:
- Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation;
- Muammar Gaddafi, politician of Libya;
- Nursultan Nazarbayev, then President of Kazakhstan;
- Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
The second personal collection, "I'm happy", the artist offered to the public in 2011. The idea has already matured that a solo performance will bring more freedom in creativity than collaboration with FBI Music, and two years later she goes on a “free float”. Marina Devyatova's third album was not long in coming: it went on sale in 2013 and was called "In the Moonlight".
A triumphal march through the world of art - this is how her future career can be characterized. The achievements of the girl singing in the style of "pop-folk" were not limited to cooperation with colleagues in the "folk" workshop. Here's what she did, and the list below is far from a complete reflection of her success.
- Duets with Al Bano, Alexander Buinov, Nikolai Baskov.
- Joint performances with Peter Dranga.
- Multiple participation in the Berlin Russian-German Festival.
- Recording comedy numbers with comedian Svyatoslav Yeshchenko.
- “On my birthday with love” - a concert dedicated to her thirtieth birthday (December 2013).
- "Symphony of the Soul" - Moscow Variety Theatre, 2014.
- September 2015 - a joint program with Varvara at the Moscow International House of Music.

The fact that Pelageya bypassed the girl did not upset her too much, because her popularity only grew after participating in this prestigious program.
Marina Devyatova now
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ “20 Years Together with You” (April 2019) - a program in the Kremlin Palace, presented to the audience this spring, summed up her activities. Tickets for the event were all sold out long before the appointed date - this is an indicator of her creative upsurge and further success in the “non-formatted” (according to ill-wishers) niche of art.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinadevyatova/ During the tour, Marina Devyatova is always accompanied by the show ballet "ЯR DANCE", a guitarist and an accordion player are obligatory in the orchestra. The singer never uses a phonograph: the audience admires her strong, clear voice during each performance. Not only big cities and big stages are visited by her: she is ready to go to any city in Russia, where they are waiting for her and ready to listen. In March 2019, for example, in Kostroma, the stage of the Gubernsky Exhibition and Convention Center was literally covered with flowers (and Kostroma residents had previously complained on social networks that, due to financial difficulties, they do not always buy flowers for their idols). After the performance of the song dedicated to mother, many of the audience cried.
Another event in the outback, where a recent performance took place, was the Lermontov Poetry Festival at the Tarkhany Museum-Reserve, Penza (June 2019). They admired her, several thousand people listened to her every day. The photo on the singer's Instagram from this holiday shows that people sat on the ground if there weren't enough chairs - so they wanted to join her talent.
I recently became a village dweller: I left Moscow, where I was born and lived for more than thirty years, to a country house. This was primarily due to the replenishment in our family. When Ulyana was born, I realized that we need to unite all generations in one big house. Since my profession is connected with constant traveling, and I can only leave such a tiny girl with my mother, I can’t even think of any nanny. But there is very little space in my Moscow apartment with my husband: it was designed for the two of us and is an ideal place for two adult selfish people who live for themselves. The child does not fit in there. Therefore, we decided to move out of town, to a house that could accommodate all family members.
- Have you already experienced all the delights of life in the countryside?
I'm still having a hard time getting used to it. And by the way, it's good that I listened to the advice of my wise dad (singer Vladimir Devyatov. - Approx. "TN"). When my daughter was born and the question of expanding the living space arose, my husband and I began to think: should we buy an apartment or a house? Live in the city or on the ground? And dad said: rent a house for a few months, see how you feel there, and then decide.
- My husband has a taboo: he does not offend animals. Even insects. With husband Alexei. Photo: Arsena Memetova
And now we have been living in a wooden house for several months now, we have our own garden, a veranda, there is where to put the stroller. I am a child who grew up in the stone jungle, in an apartment on the 16th floor, at first I was even afraid of some features of life outside the city. For example, when some insects with large wings suddenly appear in the bathroom and start waving them. I must say that my husband has a taboo: he does not offend animals. None. Even insects. Therefore, when I see them in my bathroom, I immediately start shouting: “Lesha, if you don’t want me to kill this mosquito now, run quickly and save his life!” I'm not that principled. If a mosquito bites my daughter, then, of course, I will slap him instantly. But in general we are vegetarians and try not to harm anyone living. Lesha, for example, takes mosquitoes in his palm and releases them outside the house. They probably shout "thank you" to him in their own language. In general, our new life was full of surprises. But gradually we got used to it. Pluses were found instantly. First of all, silence. You fall asleep, and around the forest, nightingales - just some kind of fairy tale. Neither the rumble of cars, nor neighbors swearing behind the wall.
- Are you on maternity leave now?
My decree lasted three months. I left the stage a month before the birth, the last time I went out to the audience on New Year's Eve. In principle, I could have continued to jump and dance quite calmly, but my fans cautiously began to hint: “Marinochka, you should lie down and relax. Save yourself!" And I listened to their opinion - I went to prepare for the birth of Ulyana. And three months later she was again on stage and gave a solo concert. But it was preceded by more rehearsals, so I probably sat on a clean decree for a month and a half. To be honest, I didn't even want to go outside. When I just returned from the hospital, my mother cooked food, my husband brought it to me, and I only did what I fed Ulyana, improved our relationship with her, and it took all my time.
But even when my daughter was very tiny, I thought not only about her, but also about work - about a new concert program, which will be released on September 28 at the Helikon Opera Theater. This is a serious academic platform, and the program will not be quite usual for me, a real theatrical production in which the line of women's fate is the leitmotif. I have long wanted to do something on this topic, but while I was still unmarried and childless, it would look somehow strange if I suddenly started talking about the female share. And now it's natural.

- And yet you spend more time at home?
All autumn I have already painted by day, right up to the New Year. And now I try not to part with Ulyana, kiss her in all places, carry her in my arms, sleep next to me, I can’t breathe. Like many artists, I lead a seasonal lifestyle. After the New Year, there is a lull, and then I can stay with my family. In the summer, too, people are not very interested in concerts, rather in garden beds and outdoor recreation, and I have a vacation. But in spring and autumn - suffering. Therefore, while I am catching a buzz, especially since it is more comfortable to do it in nature.
- Have you been accustomed to such a schedule since childhood?
Yes, when I was born, my dad was already a fairly well-known artist, he gave solo concerts in the Kremlin, in the Hall of Columns and the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall, he sang Russian folk songs and romances. I often went on tour with him. She first appeared on stage at the age of three. The older sister Katerina (she was nine at the time) sat down at the piano, and I stood next to me. My uncle comes out and gives me a microphone. And it was in the 1980s, then microphones were made in frightening sizes. “No,” I say, “uncle, I won’t keep it, keep it yourself.” And here Katya plays, I sing, my uncle holds the microphone - that was my debut.
Hall I was not afraid. In addition, while studying at a music school at the conductor and choir department, I stood with my back to this very hall for seven years and did not understand at all what to be afraid of there - I did not see the audience. It was only later, when they turned me around to face the audience, I realized that there was a certain excitement, but I easily coped with it.
- Do young people go to your concerts too? After all, this genre can not be called trendy.

- Give jam?
I'm returning from a tour - as if I went to my grandmother in the village: I carry mushrooms, jam, twists in bags. Those people who know that I am a vegetarian are especially trying to feed them: for some reason it seems to everyone that vegetarians are always hungry, emaciated people who constantly want to eat. They give scarves and knitted socks so that I don’t freeze on my diet. And recently they began to give vests and booties. People know that I have become a mother, and they want to help in any way they can.
- Is it easy for you to be a mother?
At first it was scary, I categorically did not understand how I should take care of my daughter so as not to harm her - she is so small.
When Ulyana was just born and they gave her to me in my arms, I looked at her and thought: “Is this mine, or what?” Couldn't believe it. I had zero experience with babies, I didn’t prepare for childbirth at all, I didn’t go to courses, and therefore I was confused. “Lay on the breast, feed,” the midwife said. It's easy to say, "Feed!" There is milk, but how to pour it into a child? And I came up with an idea: I got up, hanging over the crib in which Ulyana was lying, and in this position I fed her. “And you, baby, are you going to stand like that for a long time?” - asks the entered doctor. I say: "Well, she eats, it's still normal." - “Yes, everything is clear. Will learn". She swaddled the girl, showed her arms and legs. I learned how to wash her, clean her nose, cut her nails. I also learned to feed normally, and not in the way that I myself came up with on the first day. I am very grateful for science, I would not have mastered it myself for a long time.
And, of course, life in the house has changed a lot. Now we have a little Lord in our house, her name is Ulyana. Therefore, everything and everyone around is subject to it. The whole space is organized so that it is convenient to communicate with the child - cribs, strollers, baby monitors, bottles. But we must pay tribute: Ulya does not bother us over trifles. The first month turned out to be somewhat heavy - gaziki, colic and all other "joys of life". But Lesha helped me a lot. Husband Ulyana has a second child, he is a more experienced parent. As soon as my daughter began to worry, he immediately put her on his stomach, and she calmed down. So we realized that dad's belly is a salvation from all troubles. I could keep her like that for four hours. True, the father himself then had to be scraped off the sofa and brought to his senses, but the child was pleased.
- I do not plan to take my daughter to work with me. Behind the scenes, she will have time to jump. Photo: Arsena Memetova
And now there are no problems with Ulyana. She is a gift. I call her "Soldier Jane" - she doesn't cry just like that. Dissatisfaction is expressed on a specific occasion: he wants to eat, or sleep, or it's time to change diapers. The rest of the time he is silent and is keenly interested in the world around him. We are friends with her. And with dad Ulya is generally a single whole, do not spill water. He is very kind and patient. You can sit on his head and try to pull out all his hair, and he will be happy and satisfied and shout: come on!
Yesterday we got out among the people, went for a walk on the Arbat, and my daughter spent the whole day in the "kangaroo", never uttering a word at all. Lesha says: “What is wrong with her? She doesn't scream. Everything is fine?" - “Yes, the child just likes it, everything around is interesting, why shout?” Ulyana charmed the whole Arbat. Even important uncles who invited their beautiful aunts to dinner and were not inclined to any sentimentality, seeing this little sausage with eyes, which turned its muzzle and looked at the lights around, involuntarily smiled at her.
- Do you often travel like this?
I am not a big supporter of such walks, Ulyana is still small. Grandma saves us. Now I can say with confidence that grandmothers are our everything. My job doesn't mean that I can be stuck on maternity leave for three years. I'm afraid to leave the baby with the nanny. So there is only one way out - grandmother.
- But you have to argue with your grandmother about the methods of education?
Well, you can't do without it, of course. We even call her: "grandmother, so as not to blow." Because she worries all the time whether Ulyana is blowing, whether she will freeze in such a light blouse. But you can understand it. Her last child (that is, me) was born in 1983. Can you imagine how far the children's industry has come in this time? Diapers, for example, appeared. In general, I think that it is high time to erect a monument to the person who invented them. Recently I told my mother: “Listen, Ulya peed twenty times today. And how did we cope if there were no diapers? “And like this,” says my mother, “twenty times they would have washed it all. Handles."
So all mom's advice is from her rich and difficult experience. And everything she does is purely out of love. Dr. Komarovsky says that the baby's feet should be cool, because this is normal. But my mother would argue with Dr. Komarovsky, because she raised two and also knows something! What is my way out? Either come to terms with the fact that mom knows best, or live in constant conflict with her. So we are learning to build relationships so that everyone in the new family is comfortable: both mom and us, and above all the child. So far it seems to work.
Marina Devyatova
Family: father - Vladimir Devyatov, singer, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, mother - Natalya, choreographer; husband - Alexey Pigurenko, works in the advertising field; daughter - Ulyana (5 months)

Career: sang in the folklore ensemble "Indrik the Beast", then began a solo career, recorded three albums. Finalist of the project "People's Artist-3". The repertoire includes duets with Nikolai Baskov, Alexander Buinov and other artists. Performed at the reception of Queen Elizabeth II
The biography of Marina Devyatova is the story of a bright, talented and purposeful young singer who managed to revive the people's love for Russian song. Our heroine was born on December 13, 1983 in Moscow in a creative family. Marina's father, Vladimir Sergeevich Devyatov, is a famous performer of Russian songs, and her mother, Natalya Nikolaevna, is a choreographer. For the girl, her star dad became the first music teacher. He instilled in his daughter a love not only for folk songs, but also for other genres. Marina from early childhood got acquainted with the works of classical composers, the work of Deep Purple, The Beatles.
Musical education
Devyatova had a voice and a sense of rhythm very early, and adults took her to a music school. At first, the girl's parents had a hard time, because she did not like to study. It even got to the point that Marina threatened to dismantle the piano for firewood. Gradually, the future singer fell in love with music and began to attend classes with pleasure. Today, the girl is grateful to her parents for not allowing her to leave music school. After graduating from it, she received the specialty of an academic conductor. After school, in 1999, Marina Devyatova continued her studies at the Department of Solo Folk Singing at the College of Music. Schnittke. Next came the Academy. Gnesins, in which the girl studied from 2003 to 2008.
The first performances of a celebrity
The creative biography of Marina Devyatova began very early. As the singer herself recalls, they gave their first concerts together with their older sister when she was barely 3 years old. The girls arranged performances in the family circle. The older sister, who was already attending a music school at that time, played the piano, and Marina sang.
The first public performance of a celebrity occurred when she was 14 years old. Marina, in a duet with her father, performed the song "River-river" on the stage of the huge concert hall "Russia". This performance proved to be a turning point. Charged with the energy of the hall and feeling the views of almost two thousand spectators, the girl realized that the stage was her vocation, and since then the biography of the singer Marina Devyatova has been inextricably linked with recording songs and concerts.
During the period of study at the college. Schnittke, the girl met the organizer and leader of the folklore ensemble "Indrik-Zver" Artyom Vorobyov. The team performed ancient Slavic and Russian folk songs in a fatal arrangement. Vorobyov invited Marina to sing in the ensemble, and she agreed. Together with the rest of the group, the singer traveled to many villages and villages in search of folklore material. Traveling through the Russian hinterland, the girl was so imbued with folk flavor that without a Russian song she could not imagine her future fate.
Participation in the "People's Artist" and life after the project
During her student years, Devyatova regularly performed at various music competitions and festivals, but the People's Artist-3 project (2006) brought her real popularity. Participation in the TV show was a kind of risk for the young singer, because she often heard that the genre in which she performs is non-format, and it cannot be of interest to the general public. Brilliant participation in the project brought Marina an honorable second place and a contract with producer Evgeny Fridlyand. But most importantly, the young singer was able to prove to all skeptics that the folk song is still popular and loved in society.
"People's Artist" made Devyatova a real star. Marina began to actively tour not only in the cities of Russia, but also abroad. In 2008, the singer gave her first solo concert in Moscow, which was sold out. A year later, she introduced Russian folklore to the royal family in London during a social event organized by representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Orthodox Church.
Marina Devyatova has many songs recorded together with other performers. The singer successfully collaborated with Nikolai Baskov, Peter Dranga, Alexei Goman, the Pyatnitsky choir and, of course, with her father. The musical biography of Marina Devyatova could have been replenished with a duet with the legendary Zykina, but this was not destined to happen due to the death of Lyudmila Georgievna.
Singer's hobbies
Since her student years, Devyatova has professed Krishnaism. For this reason, she is a staunch vegetarian, does not smoke or drink alcohol. After a long tour, Marina prefers to restore her strength with the help of bhakti yoga and meditation, and regular fitness classes help her to always be in good shape.
The girl's passion is driving a car. Devyatova always manages her “iron horse” on her own, her driving experience has been for 10 years. The girl likes to spend her free time outside the city with her closest people, and she prefers to go on vacation to Asian countries.
Relationships with men
The biography of Marina Devyatova will be incomplete if it does not mention the singer's personal life. The girl had a long relationship with aspiring singer Nikolai Demidov. Marina, for whom family and children are priorities in life, hoped that their romance would lead to a wedding, but the young man was in no hurry to marry. After Demidov admitted in one of the interviews that the main thing for him is a career, and he uses relations with Devyatova only for PR, the distressed girl stopped all communication with him. In 2014, information was leaked to the media that the singer had a new boyfriend involved in advertising. I would like to hope that soon all fans of the singer's talent will be able to see joint photos of Marina Devyatova and her lover.
The biography of Marina Devyatova very rarely mentions her personal life, photos or children. The singer tries to hide this information from the public as much as possible. From the personal life of Marina Devyatova, it is only known that for a long time she did not have a romantic relationship. After some time, Marina met Alexei Pigurenko.
Private questions to the singer Marina DEVYATOVA.
The artist's husband Alexei Pigurenko published on his official page on the social network Instagram a photo taken directly from the maternity ward. Marina Devyatova and Alexey Pigurenko have known each other for eight years. However, at the time of the meeting, both were not free. In October 2016, Marina Devyatova and Alexey Pigurenko got married. Previously, Devyatova maintained a romantic relationship with a doctor who was much older than her in age.
Marina presented the Russian song to Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the entire royal family; gave concerts in Italy, Estonia, Bulgaria, USA, China; released two solo albums. When I was 3 years old, my older sister was already studying at a music school and knew how to play the piano. Before the performance, I pulled them out of the vases and handed them out to our guests so that during the performance they handed these flowers to my sister and me. Dad never insisted that I become a singer, but from childhood he instilled in me a love of music. Once, for my birthday, I was presented with a fairy tale film about how “a long time ago in the Moscow kingdom the beautiful girl Marina Devyatova was born, and how her path to glory then lay.” Naturally, I did not understand, I asked again, and they answered me that Vladimir Devyatov had recently left the site.

Marina Devyatova: a woman must keep a home (22.07.2014)
Little Marina Devyatova at the piano. She was able to take into account the wishes of all family members. I live with my mother, stepfather and a cat named Lo, who loves to tear up furniture and sleep in the most unpredictable places (laughs). Even before the start of the renovation, it was decided to stick to the classic style, which my mother really likes, and also add elements of Russian folk to the design. Yes, concert costumes can really keep an artist out of the house (smiles). Certainly! I have a collection of vases in the hall. It is in them that I put bouquets from my favorite viewers. Marina, in your opinion, how do you fill a house with happiness?
Beautiful, energetic, with sparkling eyes - this is how I saw Marina Devyatova on the eve of one of her recent solo concerts. During our half-hour conversation, she told who she sings for, why she loves the Russian song and why rehearsals are more interesting for her than the concerts themselves. By the way, very often during concerts I am asked who is the composer or the author of the words of this or that song. Many people think that songs like “What were you like” are folk songs. No. You know, the trouble is that films about talented people in our country most often begin to speak only after they leave. During her lifetime, Valentina Vasilievna was not fully popularized. Marina, who do you see most often at your concerts? The artist's costume is an element of the show. After all, being an artist is a serious profession, so why should I dress badly?!
Personal life, the family of Vladimir Devyatov has never been an obstacle to his professional and career growth, on the contrary, he easily achieved everything with the support of his relatives. The main role and direction in which the singer develops are folk songs and motives.
Finalist of the "People's Artist"
In 2001, she became a laureate of the All-Russian Competition of Folk Song Performers. Ippolitov-Ivanov, which took place in Voronezh. On October 28, 2008, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, Devyatova's first solo concert was held, which was dedicated to Russian traditions and folklore. In November 2011, Devyatova's album entitled "I'm happy" was released. On November 9, 2014, Devyatova's concert "Symphony of my soul" was held at the Moscow State Variety Theater. In the same year, Devyatova celebrated the 15th anniversary of her creative activity. Marina Devyatova claims that “Russian song and Russian folklore is what unites us all. A year and a half later - after the death of her stepfather Devyatova, who was a very close person to her - Pigurenko supported her. At that moment, they both realized that they wanted to be together again.
But it was not there. Marina's work so sunk into the soul of many that she subsequently reached the final of the musical project. Our heroine was going to sing along with Lyudmila Zykina, but this was not destined to come true due to the death of the people's artist. After a busy day at work, she prefers to relax with yoga, meditation and a fitness room.
During her career, Devyatova often faced the statement: "your music is not a format." Out of a desire to prove the opposite, in 2006 she went to the casting of "People's Artist-3". As a result, Devyatova became the finalist of the project. According to the singer, she chose this name because it is close to her "both in the state of her soul and in the energy that, I hope, my work carries." On December 8, 2013, Devyatova's solo concert "On your birthday with love" took place at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall, which was timed to coincide with the singer's 30th birthday.
Performing with this ensemble, Marina studied in parallel in the period 2003-08 at the Russian Academy of Music, which bore the name of the Gnesins. She was a student of the faculty of folk solo singing. At this time, the aspiring singer participated in the "Slavianski Bazaar", an international competition of performers. Marina Devyatova, having started her career as a singer, often heard from music critics that her music was not included in the recognized format. Wanting to prove the opposite, the young singer went in 2006 to the casting of the third season of the musical reality show, which was held on the Rossiya TV channel, called "People's Artist".
Marina Devyatova is a native Muscovite, date of birth: December 1983. The girl's parents were creative people: father Vladimir Devyatov - a creative person, a singer; mother is a choreography teacher. For her, her parents were a great pride, because her father received the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation, and her mother was a very popular dance specialist.
Marina Devyatova is a Russian singer, performer of folk songs, as well as pop hits stylized as folklore.
She decided to prove that a folklore song in the Art Nouveau style can be truly folk. To do this, the girl chose the television project "People's Artist" consonant with the name and went to the casting of the third season. Also on the account of the singer is a joint concert with another folk singer Varvara. It is only known that the new beloved folk diva has nothing to do with show business.
