After the girl lived a little in New York, she emigrated to London, where she studied architecture. But after performing Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" at her brother's wedding, she was so inspired that she decided to dedicate her life to a career in the music industry.

Start of a career

The beginning of her career in the musical field was in 1998, when the artist was not even fifteen years old. Her first songs that brought Alsou popularity - “Winter Dream” and “Sometimes” - became hits and to this day many believe that these are the most significant compositions in the girl’s career. Many people associate them with Alsou. In 1999, she released her self-titled debut album and, following its success, signed a contract with Universal Music Russia.

At this time, the girl traveled a lot around the country and gave many solo concerts. During this time, the album sold 700,000 copies.

In support of the album, Alsou decided to give several additional solo performances in the Russian Federation. The singer's tour around the country lasted almost two years. All this time, Alsou worked under the leadership of Vadim Baykov. Later he became the girl's official producer.

Career after Eurovision success

A year after the success of her first album, the world saw Alsou’s first English-language track “Solo,” with which she took second place at Eurovision. The hit became the best-selling single of the girl's entire career.

After performing in a vibrant duet with Enrique Iglesias, she released a single in the UK, it was the song “Before You Love Me”. Since then, the artist has continued to confidently build her career, releasing both English-language and Russian-language compositions. At that time, many publications had already published Alsou’s photo and wrote about her personal life and biography. The girl was very beautiful and talented, so the media simply could not ignore her.

In 2002, she held a vibrant series of live performances called "Trilogy". The concerts took place in Moscow to promote the second album. At the same time, she gave concerts for the first time in countries such as Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Georgia, and Latvia. In addition, her work was enjoyed in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, but this happened a little later, only in the spring of 2004.

After the success of the album “19”, the girl began work on her English-language album “Inspired”, but despite the fact that the girl performed on tour with her beloved Westlife, the album’s release was cancelled. And Mercury Records terminated her contract.

Alsou worked on all the songs for the album herself, writing both music and lyrics. At the same time Russia heard new composition entitled "Always on my mind".

Still from the video “Sometimes”

Many Alsou fans in the UK were also able to hear the song on the radio and enjoy the singer’s video clip. A lot of money was spent promoting the single abroad. But the official release never took place. Many are sure that the company refused Alsou due to the fact that the release of the album was postponed many times, which contradicted the previously concluded contract.

It is worth noting that the girl’s first album was re-released due to incredible demand and popularity. For the first time, the world saw the record with a new cover, and for the second time, the girl decided to please her fans and added two new songs that no one had heard before.

Returning to the stage after a five-year break

The singer's fans were concerned that the girl had plunged headlong into politics. Such rumors began after Alsou joined the United Russia party. But a year later, she dispelled many doubts about her return to creativity and did so by releasing her new melodic album “The Most Important Thing.”

After some time, Alsou decided to please fans from her homeland. Therefore, the album “Tugan Tel” was recorded especially for them; all the songs on it were performed in the Tatar language. After that, Alsou tried her hand as a TV presenter and actress. She, together with Ivan Urgant, hosted the final stage of the Eurovision music competition. A little later, the singer shone in the film by Svetlana Druzhinina, where she played the role of the court lady Madeleine.

2010 was a very bright and productive year for the artist. She recorded the song “Sleep, my sunshine,” on which artists such as Irina Dubtsova, Tatyana Bulanova, and Jasmine worked with her. The composition was recorded specifically to support the project under the motto “1 package = 1 vaccine.” The project took place thanks to the organizers from Pampers and UNICEF, who tried to attract the attention of young mothers to the importance of vaccination against tetanus. In the same year, the girl was awarded the title “ People's Artist Republic of Tatarstan”, which she was incredibly happy about.

A year later, information leaked to the press that part of the assets of the Local Credit bank was registered in Alsou’s name. The singer's husband and her father also became co-owners of the bank. At that time, Alsou’s personal life and biography became closely connected with her career, children and husband. She was torn on several fronts and tried to keep up in all directions. Thus, her business flourished, while she raised her children and recorded songs.

In 2012, the artist’s fans heard her new album, which, despite the admiring reviews from fans, caused mixed feelings among critics. Some wrote that since the release of the first album, Alsou and her vocals have not changed in any way, even the singing style has remained the same. And some thought that this was just a ridiculous attempt by the girl to remind everyone why millions loved her. Other critics noted the quality of the songs, their melody, but criticized Alsou for the fact that the compositions are difficult to remember, because they are all similar to each other.

One way or another, Alsou was not going to stop there. And a year later, the world saw her new video clip for the song “Stay,” beloved by many. They worked on the video in Baku, where the singer also celebrated her 30th birthday. The girl devoted the next two years to recording the soundtrack to the film “The Diary of a Mother in a First-Grader” and releasing two new songs, and later video clips.

On the set of the video “Where You Are Not”

The career is not over, it continues to develop, of course, not in such successful steps. Many fans expect even more songs from the singer and wish her creative success. There are quite a few photos of Alsou with her children and husband on the Internet; their happy faces reflect the fact that everything is very good in their biography and personal life today. The singer herself has said more than once in interviews that she is happy with the current circumstances.

Personal life

Due to constant concerts, Alsou did not start a romantic relationship for a long time. Fortunately, the girls' close friends noticed this. Ariana, Alsou’s friend, decided to introduce her friend to her friend, authoritative entrepreneur Yan Abramov. Ariana decided to bring young people together at a social party, but first described the guy to Alsou as the best colors, so the girl was intrigued. The singer was surprised to meet Ian, because it turns out that they had already been introduced to each other before.

As the artist herself later admitted, the man won her heart on the very first evening. He was very attentive, but the decisive factor was the fact that Abramov plays the piano masterfully.

In girls, Jan looked for seriousness and good upbringing, and in Alsou, who was raised as a believer strict family, all this happened. After the first date, eight months of courtship followed. The young man knew how to do this; he was always gallant and very generous. And, in the end, on main question the singer answered “yes.” The wedding, as expected, was very magnificent. Russian show business has never seen such luxurious wedding ceremonies.

Today for Singer Alsou children have great value, she happily talks about her personal life and biography, remembering only the brightest moments. It’s very interesting to watch the singer’s interview, as she is an open person and is ready to share everything that happens in her life.

Children

Some time after the wedding, the couple announced that they were expecting a new addition to the family. Alsou gave birth to Yana's daughter. The girl was named Safina, and for good reason. Safina is Alsou's maiden name. Thus, the singer paid tribute to her family, which greatly pleased her father. Two years later, another child appeared in the family. Safina's sister was named Mikella. The couple was happy raising their children until an unpleasant incident occurred, which was widely reported in the press.

The singer found an admirer who wrote to the girl too persistently, which frightened her greatly. Alsou's family decided to turn to law enforcement for help. This was not the singer's first similar case. Even at the beginning of her career, she had to double her security because the attention from some fans was too intrusive, which greatly worried the star. Fortunately, the problem was resolved. The annoying fan was identified and appropriate charges were brought against him.

Currently, Alsou very often takes photos with her husband and children, talks about her biography and personal life. She is proud of what she has been able to achieve in her years.

Career after marriage

After marriage, Alsou still continued to sing. But fans couldn’t help but notice that there were much fewer concerts, and they had to wait a long time for new songs. On social events Alsou also became a rare guest. Many attributed this to the fact that Alsou’s husband was most likely against her career. Articles began to appear in the media that described the singer’s husband as not in the best possible way, even words such as “tyrant” were used in his relation.

The singer denied such information, making an official statement that Yang supports her in any endeavor and is not against her creative development.

And the decision to reduce the number of concerts is Alsou’s own desire. The girl emphasized that family will always come first for her.

There are quite a lot of photos on the Internet where Alsou is with her husband and daughters, a lot of information about her personal life and biography. Not a single career event goes unnoticed. In fact, the singer has become a national treasure and her work is followed by millions of fans in Russia and far abroad. How creative personality she achieved no less success than in family life.
