Once upon a time, on the territory of modern Uzbekistan, the country of Sogdiana flourished. It was so beautiful, rich and fertile that some scientists call it one of the cradles of civilization. And the talented girl, who sang well and loved the country in which she was born and raised with all her heart, decided to take the stage name Sogdiana. The biography of the now popular singer today interests many fans of her work. What family was she born into, what path did she take? What is she like, singer Sogdiana?

Biography: Oksana Vladimirovna Nechitailo

The future pop singer was born in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) on February 17, 1984. Oksana's parents had nothing to do with the stage (or music in general). My mother is a doctor by education, my father is an engineer. Only my grandmother sang in the church choir for some time. But little Oksana showed stage talent from a young age - she organized concerts for family and friends. The parents decided to develop their daughter’s talents and sent her to the music school named after. Gliera. After 11 years, Oksana graduated from it (piano class). The delight of those around her and even the forecasts about her great future in music did not bring her satisfaction, and then Sogdiana decided to study vocals.

Biography: early career

The young performer took part in all possible music competitions, both republican and international. Almost always, at the end of the project, I could boast of an honorary laureate diploma. But she wanted more, and she began recording her first compositions. The world saw Sogdiana's debut album in 2001. 2003 became the year of popular recognition in her native country; she received a prestigious award, which was awarded to the most talented young performers of Uzbekistan - the Nihol state award.

Biography: participation in the “Star Factory”

In 2006, the young performer was invited to become a participant in the famous variety show “Star Factory-6”. The singer's producer was Viktor Drobysh.

One of the journalists said that Sogdiana is a combination of a brilliant mind, amazing beauty and unsurpassed talent in one person. The song “Heart Magnet” became a hit, and in 2006 the singer received the Golden Gramophone award for her performance. After “Factory”, Sogdiana also went on tour with other participants.

The artist’s biography is also rich in acting works. At a time when the singer was selling out concert halls, cinemas presented audiences with two films with her participation: “Sogdiana” and “Khoja Nasreddin”. In 2008, the performer’s first Russian album, entitled “Heart Magnet,” was released.

Sogdiana: biography

The singer’s nationality is Ukrainian, but she grew up in Uzbekistan, since Sogdiana’s parents moved there before she was born.

The singer was married twice. The first marriage with the Indian Ram was short-lived. Son Arjun (born 2007) now lives with Sogdiana’s ex-husband. Now the artist’s husband is businessman Bashir Kushtov, and together they are raising a 3-year-old son, Mikail. Sogdiana also plans to win his eldest son from his husband and soon take him to his place.

Biography of Sogdiana

Oksana Nechitailo, better known under the pseudonym Sogdiana, is a singer who has become a breath of fresh air on the Russian stage. Viewers remembered her as one of Viktor Drobysh’s “manufacturers,” but just a year after the completion of the project, she sang on the main stage of the country along with her favorite singer Sofia Rotaru.

Sogdiana's childhood

Sogdiana was born in Tashkent, although there are no eastern roots in her family tree. The Nechitailo family settled in the capital of Uzbekistan thanks to their military grandfather. The singer’s father, Vladimir Nechitailo, first worked as an engineer, then climbed the career ladder and became deputy director of the Compressor plant. The vocation of her mother, Larisa Fedorinskaya, was medicine.

Oksana was the youngest child in the family; she was looked after by her brother Sergei, who was 12 years older than the girl. While his father was fulfilling his plan to produce compressor equipment and filters for general purposes, and his mother was saving lives, Sergei took his talented sister to an art studio and a dance club.

The grandmother, who once sang in a church choir, instilled in her granddaughter a love of music, so Oksana organized real concerts at all family holidays. The girl sang her first song at the age of 4 - it was a sad poem about a puppy from the magazine “Funny Pictures”, sung to the accompaniment of her brother’s guitar.

In 1991, parents, who noted the creative abilities of their youngest daughter, decided to send Oksana to the Glier Music School for piano class. At the same time, the girl studied at a special school at the conservatory. Sogdiana remembers these years with a smile: she “bathed” in music, as if in an endless ocean.

The schoolgirl always looked forward to the moment when she could run away to classes at music school - she was bored in general education. In addition, her classmates constantly teased her because of her height; for them, she was either a “giraffe” or a “tower.”

Parents believed that their daughter would become a famous pianist, but in 2001 Oksana announced that she would enter the National Uzbek Conservatory in the pop department. For relatives, this news came as a real shock, but the family supported Oksana’s choice: the father began to master the role of producer of a rising star, and the mother created stage costumes for her singer daughter.

Vladimir Nechitailo left his business and got a job at a production center for a modest fee to help his daughter’s career. As Sogdiana recalled, at first it was very difficult; she had to perform for free to earn a name. Soon she began to receive her first fees - 10 dollars, 50.

The birth of the singer Sogdiana

The young singer's debut took place in 1999 at the SADO music competition. Then there were the festivals AzizOna Yurtim Navolari (Uzbekistan), “Path to the Stars” (Russia), “Discovery” (Bulgaria), Canconi Daimondo (Italy). Oksana Nechitailo has always been on the list of laureates.

Sogdiana’s first video – “Assol”, 2000

In 2001, the first album of the aspiring singer Oksana, “Mening Kunglim” (translated into Russian as “My Soul”), was released, which included songs in Uzbek, Russian and English. Among them were the popular compositions “Assol” and “Night and Sun”.

In 2003, the star was awarded the State Prize of Uzbekistan “Nihol”. The next step in Oksana Nechitailo’s career was the release of her second album “Mening Shahzodam. Baribir Kelar! and a video for the title song “Mening Shahzodam”.

In 2005, the singer tried herself in cinema, playing in the film “Khoja Nasreddin”. The film was sold out in cinemas in Uzbekistan. It was a real triumph! But Oksana felt that she had reached a dead end and had reached the ceiling. Something needed to change, and the singer decided to start with her name.

She searched for a suitable pseudonym for a long time until she read about the ancient country of Sogdiana, located between the Zarafshan and Kashkadarya rivers. Oksana liked the name so much that when filling out an application for the New Wave competition, she indicated Sogdiana in the “Stage name” column.

“And although I didn’t go to Jurmala then, since then “things have progressed” - at the next competition in Italy I took two first prizes at once... Fans already knew me well under this name, so I had to start my career almost all over again,” shared singer.

In 2006, the Central Asian star set off to conquer Russia, becoming a participant in the show “Star Factory-6” produced by Viktor Drobysh. Here the singer had to defend the right to her new name: the producer thought it was too unusual, he was sure that fans simply wouldn’t remember it. The creators of the show insisted that the girl become Oksana again, but the singer did not succumb to their persuasion and demands. Then Drobysh suggested adding his mother’s maiden name – Fedorinskaya – to the pseudonym. And after a couple of weeks, the need for a surname disappeared - the pseudonym turned out to be very successful.

Although the girl did not make it into the top three winners along with Dima Koldun and another oriental beauty, Zara. the project gave her invaluable experience and opportunities. It was on the project that Sogdiana sang in the final with Larisa Dolina. and also recorded the hit “Heart Magnet” - the Russian version of the song “Yurak Mahzun”. Already in November, this composition brought Sogdiana the Golden Gramophone figurine.

Sogdiana and Larisa Dolina – “Burnt Soul”

In the same year, the star appeared on the big screen again - her new name was sung in the Uzbek film of the same name: “I was offered the main role, and besides, the script was written “for me” - the scriptwriters even changed the name of the heroine from Zumrat to Sogdiana.”

After the project, the life of the former “manufacturer” changed dramatically: first, Sogdiana and her colleagues on the show went on a long-term tour of Russia and the CIS countries, then there was work on the first Russian-language album, the second “Golden Gramophone” for the song “Blue Sky” and the Moscow City Hall Award “ Pilar" for his contribution to the development of Russian popular music.

In 2011, having in her treasury of achievements 3 albums (2 in Uzbek and one in Russian), dozens of awards and prizes, 12 videos and the title of People’s Artist of the Chechen Republic, Sogdiana released her fourth studio album “Eden”.

Personal life of Sogdiana

In February 2007, Sogdiana met Indian businessman Ram Govind: “I sang at his birthday in Tashkent. He is simply wonderful, the best!” Soon the couple tied the knot, and in October the singer gave birth to her first child, Arjun. The public compared their couple with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, but Ram turned out to be a real tyrant: he made scandals for his young wife every day, forbade her to perform and communicate with colleagues: “How will my wife sing for money? What will they say about me? Why can’t I provide for her?”

Sogdiana was the first to propose separation, her husband agreed, but during the divorce proceedings he managed to take Arjun to India. The singer saw her son only three years later, when Ram returned to Tashkent.

During that difficult period, the star met Bashir Kushtov, the president of the Lynx hockey club.

He became her support, and seven months after they met, in September 2009, the singer again put on her wedding dress. In 2010, the couple had a son, Mikhail, who became Bashir’s tenth child.

But already in the spring of 2014, Sogdiana and Kushtov divorced. The reason was again the pathological jealousy of the spouse. Since then, Sogdiana has repeatedly stated that she will not marry again. Although the singer lived in the East for a long time, she does not intend to tolerate the antics of crazy tyrants.

Sogdiana now

In 2014, after a three-year break, Sogdiana returned to the stage with a new video for the song “Lightning”. She was surprised that she was still remembered and loved: upon returning to Moscow, the first thing she did was turn on the radio to keep up with new musical releases, and within 15 minutes she heard her song on the air. On another wave, she heard another hit of her own. And when the singer went online, it turned out that Sogdiana still has a huge number of fans in the Russian-language segment.

2015 spun Sogdiana into a whirlpool of musical events. Fans heard the new song “Epidemic”, which turned out to be a Russian-language version of the song “Mening Shahzodam”. Then there was a video for the song “Bird Without a Wing” and a performance at the 20th Golden Gramophone Award ceremony with the mega-hit “Heart Magnet”.

At the beginning of 2016, the singer performed in a duet with Abraham Russo. and in February a video for their joint song “No Impossible” was released.

More information

The singer spoke live on radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda” (97, 2 FM) about the struggle for her son and happiness in her new family.

- Sogdiana, of course, sounds beautiful, but how many times in your life have you changed your first and last name and how did this affect your destiny?

I didn’t change anything in my passport - I was and still am Oksana Nechitailo. In my life there is a stage name Sogdiana, but I want to say that I still plan to record it in my passport.

- What about your husband? (a little over a year Sogdiana married a Dagestani, the president of the hockey club Bashir Kushtov - Ed.) He is an oriental person, and they love it so much that the wife has her husband’s last name.

I think we will do this, but not in the near future. Because this involves a lot of paperwork and reworking of everything.

- Sogdiana, it is clear that the “Star Factory” project was the starting point for many people who started on the stage. Was this the first stage for you, or were there other moments before that that were no less important for you personally?

Yes, in fact, there was a lot more before the Factory, and for 8 whole years I was already a singer and started, went to various competitions, republican, international and took places there, most often I had laureate titles, and for me this was a big school. Then there came a period when I realized - yes, I compete in competitions, but this was no longer enough. Yes, I sing a Celine Dion song, I sing a Lara Fabion song, and someone else’s song. But I wanted to have my own songs.

- Sogdiana, why did you leave producer Viktor Drobysh after the project? “Roots” did not want to renew the contract, you terminated the contract. What, such a contract is unprofitable?

Best of the day

In fact, there was such a situation with Viktor Yakovlevich Drobysh, when they gathered us for a meeting and said: well, we’re recording an album for this group, we’re doing something else for another group, but they simply asked me: what do you have? How many songs do you have? At that moment I counted and said: about 40. I just realized: yes, now we will remake some old songs. But this is sluggish work. I understand that someday time would have come to me, but I didn’t want to waste it. And we just sat, thought and decided that it would be easier for me on my own, and for Drobysh without us.

- Who is your producer now?

I can say, even if someone recommended a music producer to me, I think that I would not go for it. Because now I sing what I like. All the songs that wonderful authors Sergei Ahonov, Ravil Gimazutdinov, Alexander Lunev write for me are the music that I want to sing. My husband Bashir advises me, and I can say that we are looking in the same direction.

- But the fact that you and your spouse are looking in the same direction is absolutely certain. Because Bashir, as far as I understand, played one of the roles in the video for the song “East of Eden.”

Yes, the only main one.

- Tell me, was your first Hindu husband Ram Govind jealous of your creativity? Is that why you broke up?

I swore not to talk about the past anymore, because there’s no point in stirring it up, saying what happened and what didn’t happen. Now relations with my ex-husband are barely getting better.

Let us remember that a year ago, Ram’s ex-husband stole his son from Sogdiana and took him to India. Since then, the singer has not seen her child.

- Sogdiana, when Ram brings the child, he promised?

Yes, he promised, and he still promises. And we are now negotiating about where we will meet, how, why. Therefore, I don’t want to talk about what the disadvantages were, everything went away, it was destined to be so. This situation was necessary, I believe that it was necessary to go through some moments in life, to learn something. It was necessary for this beautiful baby to be born. Now I actually have a wonderful situation, a wonderful husband who really supports me in everything.

– Sogdiana, your first husband was Indian. Now you are married to a man of Muslim faith. Why are you so attracted to Eastern men who are also older than you? Do you like your husband-father?

I don’t have the feeling that Bashir is a husband-father. In general, our age difference is not that big, 16 years. But I want to say that the age difference between my husband’s parents was 32 years, the wife was younger than her husband, and they lived in perfect harmony all their lives, gave birth to seven children, and everything was fine with them, everyone understood each other. I believe that when a man is older, there are a lot of advantages to it. A man who is older - he has experience, he has already lived a fairly long period of life, can give you advice that you can calmly listen to. Plus it's reliable.

– Your husband is a Muslim, you went through the nikah ritual. Renat Ibragimov's marriage recently broke up precisely for the reason that his Russian wife did not want to share shelter with his new younger wife. And everyone blamed Renat. And Renat says: “What is my fault? I live by faith, it allows me to have one wife, and a second, and a third. How do you feel about this and are you ready for it?

I think that any woman is not ready for this.

- Are Muslim women lying?

I don’t know, I can’t answer for everyone, maybe, but I honestly doubt that anyone would be happy about this. I trust Bashir, he knows me, how vulnerable I am and how jealous I am of everything. And besides, now, as far as I know, the imam and the mufti - they all began to say that - yes, faith allows you to have several wives - but now they no longer speak out for this. Because all wives should be treated equally, and people say that men fail to love their wives equally, and most often someone receives less attention. And this is such a complex topic. It may sound selfish, but I couldn't do it. I would simply die from melancholy, from a broken heart.

– Sogdiana, you have such a happy appearance that it seems to me that you can belong in almost any country in the world. I am sure that in Uzbekistan you belong, and in Russia you belong, in Ukraine you will belong, somewhere else. Is this good for you?

In fact, it happened several times - I came to Italy, they started speaking to me in Italian, invited me to concerts in Israel and said: here we are, even in Chechnya they said: ours. Well why not? I’m only in favor, I don’t think that belonging to a particular nationality gives us a limitation.

- Is it true that you became a People's Artist of the Chechen Republic? Does Ramzan Kadyrov love you that much?

Treats him well - for sure. Because it was a complete surprise for me that I received the title of People's Artist. Usually, first they get an Honored Artist, and then a People's Artist.

– Is it the other way around for you?

In fact, at one time I went there very often, and there were concerts, performances, a lot of things. And when they wrote me a song in Chechen, I performed it - and then the presenter came out and said: behold, Sogdiana receives the title of Honored Artist. Then he says: I was joking: not an honored artist, but a people’s artist. In fact, this is a huge responsibility and a great honor for me, and I try to carry this title with dignity.

– Was there any confirmation besides words?

Yes. There is such a certificate that says, signed by Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov: People's Artist.

- Three months ago you became a young mother. What did you name your son? How do you feed him, has he gained weight after giving birth? How do Bashir's children treat your child? What's going on in your big, friendly Eastern Muslim family?

– I would like to say right away that Bashir has 9 children from two previous marriages, so this is his 10th child, the anniversary one. Together with the child who is in India, it turns out to be 11th.

An entire football team. Of course, I'm very happy. The baby is wonderful, we named him Mikail, Mikuska.

– Did you specifically choose an international name?

Yes, I really wanted to. And we are happy that it was called that. The children treat him with great enthusiasm, with great tenderness, they always ask: how is our Mikuska, we already miss him, we need to come to him and babysit him. He is delighted with the children, he is already reacting, it is clear that he recognizes him and begins to smile. In fact, they love him, it’s obvious - both small and big children. Big in their own way, small in another way. There is no such thing as anyone looking askance or anything else. And in general, I want to say that in a large family it is rare for someone to react incorrectly.

- Sogdiana, but your husband is the person who plays hockey (President of the hockey club - Ed.) Does this somehow affect you? Because the wives of football players - it’s clear here, he’s not a player on a hockey team or a coach - but, nevertheless, in this area. The wives of football players are always somehow in the process of the game, they know who, how, what, they understand it. Have you started to understand sports better? We understood that he understands music.

I want to say that he is involved with the hockey team, he knows what the score is, what is needed, that is, he, as the president of the hockey club, monitors everything. But I can't say he's a hockey fan.

– Do you sing your own lullabies to your baby?

In fact, I have a lullaby that is dedicated to my son, and it will be released on my second album in September. Album title "Eden".

– Do you feel like a mommy in heaven?

Yes, you can say that.

The lullaby's music is not mine, it was sent by the composer from Tashkent, Pavel Uporov. And I thought that it was light, very light, slow, and I already wrote the text to the music.

- What is more important for you: family or creativity?

I am afraid of such statements that family is not the only thing you can do in life. This is the most important thing. I want to say that for me it was as it was – that family is the most important thing, where you feel comfortable, where you will be understood, no matter what happens outside the walls of this house, no matter what happens. Because anyway, popularity, fame is a passing thing. Today you can be loved, tomorrow it’s just as easy to hate you - but the most important thing is that you are always loved and waited for at home. As far as I have enough strength, energy, imagination, creative inspiration, I will definitely work.

But, my daughter will grow up. Do you want your daughter to choose the same freak as her husband in the future? I doubt. You can't change it anymore. It will only get worse for you and your daughter. Get a divorce.

Singer Sogdiana is one of the brightest graduates of the popular musical television project “Star Factory”. A native of Uzbekistan skillfully dances and performs compositions in oriental style. Few people know that the singer’s real name is Oksana Nechitailo. The artist managed to be married twice and give birth to two sons. At one time, the press was stirred up by the story of the secret abduction of one of her boys - the first husband then took the child to India.

Where is Sogdiana's son from his first marriage now? Who forced the artist to change her faith? Did she manage to improve relationships with her ex-husbands? And does the singer want to get married again? The singer answered these and other questions to the host of the “Oh Mommy” program, Angelica Raj.

Sogdiana, I know that you are from Tashkent, and many people think that you are Uzbek by nationality. Your fans are starting heated discussions on the Internet about your origin. Let's satisfy the public's curiosity, so who are you really?

I have never hidden this. Indeed, I was born in Uzbekistan, in the city of Tashkent. My parents are Ukrainians. My grandfather was a military man, a colonel in the Soviet Army. And for his great merits, he was given the opportunity to purchase an apartment in any city of the Soviet Union. My grandmother asked it to be Tashkent: it’s warm, delicious...

But at the same time you perform music in an oriental style. Your stage image is that of an oriental beauty. Why did you rely on the East in your work?

Since childhood, I have absorbed this musical culture and this mentality. So I know how to do it.

Sogdiana, your personal life is simply an action-packed drama worthy of film adaptation. You said that you perceived your divorces as a huge tragedy. Why is this so?

Then yes. But now I take it as a lesson. Well, why should I continue to grieve and shed tears now? Of course, I didn't want this to happen. My mom and dad lived together for 45 years, and there were no other options for me.

Your first husband is Indian, your second is Ingush. This is the East and the Caucasus. And you call the reason for your divorces the pathological jealousy of your husbands. But you cannot help but know that the East and the Caucasus have their own idea of ​​family values. Why couldn't you fit into their framework?

I always wanted to be married. And yet there are always two people to blame. That's all I can say.

The press calls your first husband an Indian millionaire, your second - a Dagestan oligarch. Where did your paths cross?

I met the father of my first child when I performed at his birthday party. He saw me on stage. Then it was very difficult for me to hide from him. He overtook me everywhere, acted assertively, and didn’t even ask me. That's what he decided and that's it.

And with the second one - Bashir - there was a whole detective story. He helped me a lot during the divorce process. That's how it all started.

- Was he as persistent as his first husband? It turns out that you are chosen, and not you choose?

Yes, I probably agree here.

- I know that when your first husband secretly took away your son, you did not see each other for several years. Is your son Arjun with you now?

Now it’s like this: when dad comes, he’s with dad. When dad leaves, he is with us. Now he doesn’t even remember the time when he lived separately, and I really don’t want to remind him of this. Of course, it was very difficult, there were very long negotiations.

- What persuaded his father to allow you to meet his son and communicate with him?

I think that first of all, the child himself. Because when the emotions subsided, the baby came to the fore, who, of course, needed a mother, and not a nanny. For him, dad is an unconditional authority, but he soon realized that the child was missing something. No matter how many different toys he has, everything he wants, his mother is his mother. Now we are communicating with his father. For me, a bad peace is better than a good war. The fact that I even told this story about the kidnapping was a step of desperation, I thought that I would somehow protect myself with this. But in the end, no, she didn’t protect her, and even made her angry.

Your first husband Ram is a Buddhist, your second husband Bashir is a Muslim, and you are Orthodox. Have there been times when your husbands persuaded you to accept their faith?

Yes it was, but it is very important for me to be accepted for who I am. Part of my life is creativity. How I dress or how I address God are personal issues, and the person next to me needs to initially accept them.

I have an international family. I grew up in Uzbekistan, and I myself am Ukrainian. And in general, I don’t divide people by nationality and faith. Yes, there are different faiths, but it’s all about the same thing, albeit in different languages. We talk to our sons before going to bed, and the youngest, Mikail, says: “I’ll say a prayer now.” And reads a Muslim prayer. I say: “Well done, son!” And the second one - Arjun - lies and does not know what to do. I say: “And you pray, as dad teaches you.” And he read his very beautiful prayer. And I read mine, the Orthodox one. And I say: “You see, we are a family, we are one whole, you just expressed your gratitude to God in your own way, and you said the same thing in another language. But the meaning is the same.”

- The eldest son is a Buddhist, the youngest is a Muslim, doesn’t this create difficulties in communication?

No, there are absolutely no difficulties. The only thing our dads asked me was that the children should not eat beef, since Hindus do not eat it, and pork, since Muslims do not eat it. That's why we eat turkey, rabbit, chicken, and fish.

- Do you admit that you will marry again a person of a different faith and different views?

Another faith - yes, it doesn’t matter. But other views are unlikely. I have absolutely normal values. I just want a family, and I have one. I have wonderful children and a mother. I work and go home. There is no such thing that I dance somewhere until the morning, forgetting about home or my responsibilities. I just want my loved ones to understand my work. Some people work from 9:00 to 18:00, while others have a different schedule. It is necessary that close people treat this with understanding. If I stand on stage and people look at me, this does not mean that I am an approachable person.

- Work was probably the main reason for your divorces? Jealousy for work, for the stage, for fans...

Someday I'll tell you about it. Why don’t I say something?.. A lot happens in any family life, and it’s better not to tell anyone about it at all. I am so grateful to my husbands that my children are with me now. Yes, there were difficulties, but I am glad that now we are friends with my ex-husbands. We agree on everything normally and see each other. These are the people I can always count on. This is important.

- Do you want to get married again?

In general, yes! The main thing is that this time everything works out.

Sogdiana was born February 17, 1984 year in Tashkent. Her parents had nothing to do with music: her mother Larisa Fedorinskaya by education he is a medical worker, and his father is Vladimir Nechitailo- engineer. Only my grandmother once sang in the church choir. But, despite this, young Sogdiana’s love for music manifested itself quite early. She grew up as a creative child: from childhood she painted, sang, danced and organized mini-concerts for relatives and guests. Her parents noticed their daughter’s talent in time and sent her to a special music school, where she studied piano for 11 years. A great future was predicted for the young pianist, but she herself felt that she wanted something more. Even the most virtuoso performance of etudes by famous composers cannot replace one’s own creativity. Therefore, in addition to the piano, she began to study vocals from the 8th grade. Now the girl knew exactly what her heart was striving for... from that moment the story of the rising pop star Sogdiana began. Sogdiana took part in many International and Republican competitions ("Sado 99" - Uzbekistan, "Aziz Ona-Yurtim navolari" - Uzbekistan, "Path to the Stars" - St. Petersburg, "Discovery" - Bulgaria, "Canconi dal mondo" - Italy and many others) and was invariably among the laureates. But a real singer cannot live on competitions and honorary diplomas alone, so Sogdiana began working on recording her own compositions, slowly but surely, selecting material for her debut album. The disc "Mening kunglim" ("My soul") was released in 2001 year. Soon she entered the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan at the pop vocal department. Sogdiana is sure that every job should be done by a professional. And this attitude in life attracts many to her. As the MK-Sunday correspondent will later write. Ulyana Kalashnikova: “They say that you can’t be smart and beautiful at the same time. For a graduate "Star Factories-6" This saying does not seem to apply to Sogdiana. Before joining the project, the long-legged brunette managed to receive a Higher Music Education, which, as you understand, is rare in modern show business.” IN 2003 Sogdiana was awarded the highest youth award in Uzbekistan - the State Prize "Nihol", which means "Rostock". This was already a real recognition! This means that it opened the way for this singer’s talent to reach millions of listeners. It was this year that she participated in the festival "Path to the Stars", held in St. Petersburg and returned as a prize winner. The singer's career is rapidly gaining momentum - video clips are being filmed, a second, much more successful album, "Mening Shahzodam... Baribir Kelar!" is being released.

Filming of the video "Netay", 09/28/2005 "Netay" video Filming of the video "Yurak Mahzun" Video "Yurak Mahzun" IN 2005 participated in the 15th International Pop Music Festival "Discovery", held in Bulgaria in the city Varna and took second place .
