Mini bio
How it started.
Born Vira Halushka in what is now Kamianske, Ukraine, Vera won a casting to join VIA Gra in 2002. She began performing in its new lineup in January 2003 alongside Anna Sedokova and Nadia Meiher, a trio remembered as the group’s “golden lineup.”
Finding her own voice.
After leaving the group in 2007, she built a solo catalogue. Her first album, Любовь спасёт мир, arrived in 2010, and its title song won a Golden Gramophone. VERVERA followed in 2015.
The VIRA chapter.
Her newer Ukrainian-language project began in October 2022. The six-song EP Дякую followed in 2023. In 2026, Сяйво brought seven tracks and a larger songwriting role: she co-wrote most of the album and teamed up with ALEKSEEV on “Ти і Я.”
Beyond the stage.
UNAIDS appointed her Goodwill Ambassador for eastern Europe and central Asia in November 2014. The role focused on women affected by HIV, preventing new infections and challenging discrimination.
