Mini bio
How it started.
Svetlana grew up in Irpin and studied piano, conducting and singing at music school. She went on to study variety vocals in Kyiv and performed with Cappuccino before joining VIA Gra in 2004. Her time in the trio was brief, and she soon began releasing music on her own.
Finding her own stage.
Her debut solo album Ты не забудешь arrived in 2005. In 2009 she brought Be My Valentine! (Anti-Crisis Girl) to Eurovision for Ukraine, finishing 12th in the final. She later built her solo catalogue around songs including Твои глаза and the 2017 album H2LO.
Songs that keep changing.
SOLD OUT followed in 2019 and Made in U in 2023. In 2025 she released Інстинкт and the EP 18.
