Katerina Golitsyna author and performer
Full name Katerina Anatolyevna Golitsyna
Born on April 5, 1962 in Omsk
Family
Katerina was born into a family of Kuban Cossacks, but not in her native village, but in distant Omsk, where she spent the first years of her life. Katerina’s parents ended up in Siberia by assignment from the institute; at the first opportunity they returned to their native land. Among the ancestors were atamans.
Childhood and youth
Katerina's father spent a lot of time with a guitar in his hands, so little Katya grew up listening to his singing. Anatoly Evgenievich’s repertoire included Severny, Vysotsky, Galich. The family returned to the village, but did not live in Kuban for long.
My father received a position in Moscow. They moved to the capital when Katerina was five years old. The first thing the girl did in the new city was a visit to a music school near the Sokol metro station. By the age of five, she could already play along with herself on the piano, which shocked the selection committee when she sat down at the instrument and performed “A Blizzard is Sweeping Along the Street” and “Murka.”
It is worth noting that the parents learned about the admission as a fait accompli, but immediately bought an old Volna piano for their independent daughter. When my daughter was 10 years old, Anatoly Evgenievich taught her to play the songs “Cranes”, “Lilac Fog”, “Wait, Steam Locomotive” on the guitar. At school, the girl attended amateur art groups and was a soloist in the school ensemble.
Creation
After graduating from school, Katerina decided to enter Gnesinka, but nothing worked out the first time. So as not to be left without higher education, she decided to study foreign languages at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute. Krupskaya, and practiced her musical talents at work, fortunately her studies were easy.
All five years before successfully entering Gnesinka, Katerina sang and played the keyboard in a restaurant. Katya’s parents did not support her. Already at the age of 18, Katerina earned more from singing than her relatives.
Five years later, she still enters Gnesinka (variety vocal department). Having graduated from it, Katerina leaves the restaurant for the stage (at Rosconcert). The singer's stage biography begins. At that time she performed as Ekaterina Yakovleva.
He sings in such groups as “Moskvichki”, “Girls”, “Peers”, and becomes the face of VIA “Katyusha”. At the end of the 80s, their first album, “Call Me in the Night,” was released, and in 1990, “Best Friend” was widely sold on cassette tapes. It was pop music, so beloved by people in the 90s. But Katerina herself does not consider it as serious creativity and is in search of her own style.
In 1994, she stopped working with Rosconcert and devoted all her time to raising her eight-year-old daughter and newborn son. She gets involved in country music, buys albums from iconic performers of this genre, and writes her own songs. In 1996, Sergei Mazaev, the leader of the Moral Code group and a friend of the family, comes to visit and, having heard new-sounding compositions written by Katerina under the impression of the albums of early Sheryl Crow, offers her a joint recording. Katya Yakovleva’s album “Leaving - Go Away” was released in 1997 and, even without large financial investments and promotion, received recognition from a narrow circle of specialists and connoisseurs. Katerina herself decides that Katya Yakovleva will no longer exist. Hard times are coming for her family.
The singer herself says only a succinct “no comment” about the period from 1998 to 2000. In 2002 she appears again. Now her name is Katerina Golitsyna (Yakovleva’s maiden name has been forgotten), she has new material - she is ready to amaze the listener with other songs. The debut album in the chanson genre “Nefraer Romance” was released in December 2002. The lyrics of Katerina Golitsyna’s songs were not just cheap, they were heartfelt, bright, based on events from life - the listener felt their strength and truthfulness. The album was successful, as were subsequent works. So, in 2003 the album “Love in Absentia” was released, in 2004 - “Decembrist”, and in 2005 “Northern Blues”. “Happy Birthday, Tramp” was recorded in 2006, “On a Guitar String” - in 2008, “Wild Apple Tree” - in 2011. In 2013, Katerina Golitsyna’s author’s collection “The Other” was released, and an album with the working titles “Crimson Snow” and “Between Us, Girls” is on the way.
Such eminent authors as Alexander Dobronravov, Vladimir Chernyakov, Vladislav Agafonov, Oleg Gegelsky, Andrey Kuryaev, Garik Krichevsky took part in writing the lyrics for him.
Personal life
Katerina Golitsyna is not only a successful singer, but also a loving wife and mother. Her daughter Yulia can be seen in the video “Love in Absentia”, and her son Andrei, being a devoted fan of his mother (his favorite album “Nefraer Romance”), writes poetry himself and is also interested in sports. Daughter Yulia studied at the Faculty of International Journalism at MGIMO. Katerina Golitsyna’s husband is a shooting expert and enjoys hunting - she happily invites friends to her cozy family nest “for game.”
“I make three or four dishes at a time, and I have a feast here until the morning. And what a feast my dogs have - I have two shepherds...”, the singer shares. However, Katerina tries not to advertise information about her family.

Ekaterina Golitsyna (biography): childhood and youth
Katerina's ancestors were from Kuban. Two great-grandfathers lived in those parts. The girl's future parents went to Moscow to study, and then for some time the city of Omsk became their place of residence. There, on April 5, 1962, Katya Yakovleva (Ekaterina Golitsyna) was born - a singer who in the future achieved all-Russian fame.
Katerina's father loved to play the guitar, little Katya grew up listening to his singing. The family had to move from Omsk to the village for a short time. When the girl turned five years old, they changed their place of residence to the capital again. Upon arrival in the new city, the future singer visited a music school, where her parents decided to send her to study. She greatly surprised the selection committee when, sitting down at the piano, she played and sang “A Blizzard is Sweeping Down the Street.”
Parents bought an old piano for their daughter. Her father, Anatoly Evgenievich, taught her to play the guitar. At the age of 10, Katyusha freely played and sang the songs “Lilac Fog”, “Cranes”, “Wait, Locomotive”. At school she was an active participant in amateur performances and was a soloist in the school ensemble.
Ekaterina Golitsyna (biography): student years
Katya dreamed of becoming a singer since childhood. Having waited until I graduated from school, I went to Gnesinka to enroll in the vocal department and failed. She did not want to be left without higher education; she decided to study at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute. Krupskaya at the faculty foreign languages. Ekaterina realized her dream of becoming a student at a music school five years later.
At the pedagogical institute, the girl showed herself to be a good student, but her zeal for music did not leave her. She began to sing in a restaurant, played on an electronic console, which served her as a drummer. This is how Ekaterina Golitsyna, a singer and performer of songs in the chanson style, began her journey.
Then Ekaterina took up studio work, almost completely stopping her concert activities. She began writing songs that today belong to the genre called “Russian chanson” in 1999, and in 2001 she began writing her first solo album.

Albums with the girl’s songs were published in large quantities and gained enormous popularity among the population. They were reissued on vinyl discs in 1991.
When all-Russian fame was achieved, Ekaterina Golitsyna, whose songs belong to the light genre, became disillusioned with disco music; there was no longer any need to earn money by singing. She finally decided to do what she truly loved. The occasion was a meeting with the leader of the “Moral Code” group and an old friend. He liked the creative life that Ekaterina Golitsyna led. The songs written by this talented woman, performed personally in the American genre, delighted him.
This became the reason for recording a new album in Stas Namin's studio. Later, the composition “Planes” became a hit. In 1997, the album “Leaving - Go Away” was released, which was recognized in the singer’s narrow circle of friends. From that time on, Ekaterina decided that there was no longer a place in her life for Katya Yakovleva.

The beginning of life's journey
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.golitsyna/ The one whose biography will be described below was born in the Siberian city of Omsk, in a family of hereditary Cossacks from the Kuban. The parents of the future singer ended up in Siberia by assignment: young oil engineers initially lived in a small dorm room and worked tirelessly. Due to the fact that the girl’s father and mother were constantly missing at work, the granddaughter was taken in by her Krasnodar grandmother in the first years of her life. Golitsyna often likes to talk about her childhood spent in Kuban in interviews.
Later, when the child grew up, the Yakovlev family (that’s Katya’s real name) began taking the girl on business trips, and she and her parents traveled almost all over the world. Soviet Union. In rare moments of rest in the evenings, dad loved to play the guitar, and these musical hours instilled in the girl a love of music - she dreamed of mastering music from an early age. musical instruments, sing.
When she was five years old, the Yakovlev family moved to Moscow, and the girl went to school in the capital. Deciding to independently make her dream (learning music) a reality, seven-year-old Katerina went to a music school, which was located not far from their home, at a nearby metro station. Having heard her perfect performance of “A blizzard is blowing down the street,” the teachers unconditionally decided that this talented child had been accepted!

At home, when everyone heard the news about entering a music school, it was decided to immediately buy a piano. And by that time she had already mastered her father’s guitar perfectly. At the age of ten, the future pop star played two instruments fluently, performed famous hits, and at school music clubs became her favorite after-school pastime. Another dream was ripening - to enter the appropriate university and engage in pop music professionally.
“Gnesinka”, where Katerina Golitsyna gave her documents after school, was famous at that time for the impossibility of entering from the “street”, and the girl did not have a “long hairy arm” (that is, cronyism)... At the last exam (on an essay) she was simply “cut off” “, but she decided not to waste time and entered another university - a pedagogical university, the Faculty of Foreign Languages. During the breaks between studies, it was decided to perform: visitors to Moscow bars and restaurants in the 80s may remember the aspiring singer Katya Yakovleva.
The dream was not forgotten, and five years later, after receiving a diploma in English language and literature, she again decides to try her luck and this time successfully passes the exams at the Music Academy. Gnesins. She has already written the first songs that were noticed by the public: Katerina is invited to perform in such groups as “Peers” and “Girls”.
Creative path
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.golitsyna/ I really wanted to record my songs and introduce my existing fans to my work, but they asked for a lot of money to record the disc, and this became her next dream - releasing her own album. In the meantime, the artist begins collaborating with Mosconcert and Rosconcert, performing solo (1989 - 1995). In the first organization, she was offered to perform with the Moskvichki ensemble, and for some time the girl sang there, but what she wrote was “rushing” to the listeners, and the Katyusha group was created. In this group she performed the first famous hit“Best Friend” - it was sold on cassettes throughout the country.
1994: Katya Yakovleva (for now) appears on “Song – 94”, performing “Not a Word about Love”. Popularity has already been gained, and tours begin, entire stadiums of spectators gather.
She is shown on TV in the programs “Morning Mail”, “Wider Circle”, and is invited to perform on ORT and TV-6. It would seem that her career would develop rapidly, but the collapse of the USSR undermined her plans for the future, and not only hers. It became unclear how and where to perform, and the singer changed her style of activity: she could no longer be seen on the big stage, but offers began to come in for weddings, birthdays and other custom events.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.golitsyna/ An attempt was made to gain popularity in the USA, where Katya unexpectedly became interested in the “country” style. Alas, in the States no one was interested in her songs, and the young woman earned her living there by giving lectures about her homeland in English language. And her husband was waiting at home (Katerina got married before leaving for the USA) and fans who wondered: where did their favorite Yakovleva suddenly disappear?
The husband’s affairs suddenly went uphill, and there was no longer a need to travel overseas, torn between the American audience and home and family. Life is a mysterious thing, and just as misfortune does not come alone, luck is almost always “duplicated.” The year 1997 became a turning point for the woman: together with Sergei Mazaev, she recorded the already famous single “Leaving, Going Away,” and it instantly became mega popular. With minimal financial investments (and funds that were so lacking recently were already available!) the disc was released and sold out to fans instantly. That album is now a real rarity, a dream for the artist’s fans. By the way, it was released in Sweden in 1998.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.golitsyna/ Thanks to the help of the head of the “Moral Code” and his friend Stas Namin (a collection was recorded at his studio), the number of her fans grew exponentially. And this was the first disc where only one composition was sounded in the usual style, the rest were announced as chanson. Katya was so “hooked” by the new direction that it was decided to continue her work in this style. And there was a need to change the last name: since creativity took a different path, it was necessary to take a pseudonym. The surname “Golitsyn” was not invented by her “out of thin air”: according to family legend, one of the ataman ancestors was Golitsyn.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.golitsyna/ And, as they say in such cases, “away we go”... The talented woman plunged headlong into creativity, taking a short break from performing. Here are the fruits of her activities over the years.
- 2001 – 2002: recording and publication of the solo album “Nefraer Romance”.
- 2002 - November 2003: songs combined into the collection “Love in Absentia.”
- 2004: new album “Decembrist”.
- December 2005: disc “Northern Blues”.
- March, 2006: solo album “Happy Birthday, Tramp.”
And in the autumn of the same year, the triumphal march of singer Katerina Golitsyna began across the country with “live” concerts and recordings on TV.
- The first personal concert in the Cosmos hall and a complete sell-out.
- Release of a disc with a full-length version of this performance, plus fragments of interviews and conversations with fans (series “Best Concerts – Collection”).
- Filming of the program “Season of Love” (again in “Cosmos”) and the release of a collection under the same name.
She graduated from the 2nd Moscow Regional Music School (variety department) in piano class, then from the Gnessin State Music College (variety department) in vocal class. Having worked in restaurants for about ten years as a soloist in musical ensembles, she continued her career in various professional “Komsomol-youth” groups such as “Peers”, “Moskvichki” and “Girls”, then solo in the groups “Rosconcert” and “Mosconcert”, and later organized own project, began to write music and poetry on her own, and her own original songs appeared. In 1990-1991, the first two solo vinyl records (“giants”) were released - “Katyusha” and “Call me in the night.”
In 1995 - 1998, she was mainly engaged in studio work and by 1998 she practically stopped performing concerts, devoting herself completely to her family and children for some time. But over time, certain life circumstances give rise to new impulses to continue creativity, although in the bulk of interviews the singer herself characterizes this period of life (1999 - 2001) only as “no comment.” However, it is known that it was at this time that she wrote most of the famous songs included in the first albums “Nefraer Romance” and “Love in Absentia.”
So, in the first album, which appeared in 2002, ALL the songs, according to Katerina, were not written out of a desire to “just do something in the chanson style”; they simply could not help but appear, because they are the result of personal experiences, or based on real events in the lives of friends; including the "Nefraer Romance" about a wedding in captivity - there is a specific life story. In November 2003, the second album, “Love in Absentia,” was released. Everything here is also about life. Love, loyalty, friendship, sadness, nostalgia - on the one hand ("Musician from the Transition", "Backs", "Meeting"), and, on the other - more like a tribute to the genre - opera, judge, north, zone, ZK (" Rock Dove", "Love Absentee", "A Blizzard Over the Zone").
In May 2004, work on the third album was completed, for which 12 new songs were recorded, the release date is being specified, presumably August 2004. The owner of a uniquely strong voice with a large range, such that for some reason makes the listener immediately and unconditionally believe the words of the heroes of her songs, Katerina Golitsyna stands apart in the genre. Perhaps many will seem familiar with these characteristic decisive, sometimes strained, intonations in vocals - and he will be right: as a singer (as well as a composer and lyricist), Katerina has been working for more than eight years and enjoys well-deserved popularity and a reputation as a star of the first magnitude.
