Mini bio
How it started.
Lena grew up in Moscow, studied piano and sang in the children’s groups Avenue and Neposedy. Neposedy was where she met Julia Volkova. In 1999, the two became t.A.T.u.
The songs that travelled.
With Julia, she sang “All the Things She Said,” “Not Gonna Get Us” and “All About Us.” The duo represented Russia at Eurovision in 2003, finishing third with “Ne Ver’, Ne Boisia.”
Finding her own voice.
Lena began her solo project in 2009. “Never Forget,” which she co-wrote, became an early calling card, and the Dave Audé version topped Billboard’s Dance/Club Play Songs chart in April 2012. Her debut album This Is Who I Am followed in 2014, with Spanish-language Esta Soy Yo in 2016 and Russian-language Моно in 2019.
Still making room for new songs.
Her recent work includes “Океанами” with DJ DimixeR, “Полюбить себя” and “поцелуи на поражение” with Fargo. Alongside her solo releases, she has returned to concert appearances with Julia as t.A.T.u.
