Participant and finalist of the show “The Voice” Elena Maksimova won the hearts of TV viewers from the first notes. The girl spent more than 20 years on the thorny path to fame. Now the star is reaping the fruits of her labor and successfully combines the role of singer and mother.
Biography of Elena Maximova
In August 1979, Elena Maksimova was born in the picturesque Black Sea city of Sevastopol. Like many stars, the girl began singing from childhood. In kindergarten, Lena performed at all concerts and matinees. The leading roles of the Snow Maiden and Little Red Riding Hood in the performances also went to the young artist. Maximova's signature number was the song of the elephant trainer, with whom she participated in all programs.
At the age of 11, the singer was already performing in a local ensemble called “Multi-Max”. The team has repeatedly won vocal competitions and toured different cities and countries. To be close to her daughter, Lena’s mother had to quit her kindergarten job.
In parallel with her concert routine, the girl studied at a music school. After graduating from piano class, she entered the university as a paid student. I chose a sought-after specialty - translator. Graduated from Northern State Technical University with honors.
It was difficult to find a job in her specialty with good pay, so the girl began to earn money by singing. She performed in clubs, restaurants, recreation centers and sanatoriums. The desire to connect her life with music only intensified, and Maksimova submitted documents to GITIS. The singer easily entered the pop-jazz vocal department. Her course belonged to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, so she immediately received a position as a leading vocalist in the headquarters orchestra.
The experience of working in an orchestra revealed new facets of Elena’s talent. In 1988, she performed the song by Patricia Kaas at the Cannes Film Festival. With their performance, the team adequately represented Russia. In the same year, they won the Yalta-Moscow-Transit festival. The artist spent her free time from rehearsals and studies behind the microphone at holidays and banquets.
In 2004, the singer became a soloist in a musical directed by Brian May. The production was presented to the audience under the title “We will rock you.” The program was scheduled for 6 months without days off.
In 2006, Vyacheslav Tyurin launched the group “Non Stop” and he needed a strong vocalist. The producer invited Elena to play this role. The team's career developed quite successfully. They took part in the festival of young performers "Five Stars".
In 2008, Maksimova went to the “New Wave”. The final composition with the romantic title “Angel Wings” captivated television viewers and broke all records for downloading on the Internet. After the competition, work began on recording the album. The release came out in the summer of 2009.
A new stage in the singer’s life began with participation in the Decadence group. The project was presented at the Moscow concert hall "Mir". The promotion was handled by the composer Kashin. At the same time, the singer began working in the Reflex group. After 2 years, the artist left both groups.
In 2011, Elena began her solo career. The singer called her genre intellectual pop. A concert program was prepared and filming was carried out for Playboy magazine.
In 2015, a new season of the “Exactly Exactly” program started. Elena became its participant and effectively transformed into famous artists. In 2016, the show continued under the title “Exactly. Super season." Maksimova won with a margin of just 1 point over her opponent. Her final reincarnation was the image of Zemfira.
Finalist of the second season of the show “The Voice” Elena Maksimova Since childhood, she aspired to the stage, but it took her 20 years to reach her goal. At some stage, the singer was forced to start everything from scratch - in a foreign city, without money, with a little daughter in her arms... But now, according to her admission, everything is finally going as it should

Last year, Elena Maksimova was already in great demand: she performed with an orchestra for ten days as part of the Spasskaya Tower military music festival, gave several concerts in St. Petersburg, recorded a song that Leonid Agutin gave her, shot a video for it, then composed a composition “Our first New Year”... “This song was written by itself, I still don’t understand how,” says Elena. - In three minutes I came up with words and music, then I took everything to the arranger, and we shot a New Year’s video with the participants of the “Voice” project. And on the day of the presentation, Channel One called me and said that this song would become the final anthem on the “New Year’s Light”.
Elena, at the Five Stars festival in Yalta last summer you also performed the anthem. Do you specialize in them?
(Smiling.) I don’t know, maybe this is my purpose? With that song, everything turned out the same way as with the New Year's song, only my daughter Diana became the ideological inspirer. We were driving to celebrate her birthday, I had a car full of her classmates, and suddenly a song started playing in my head. Initially, I was invited to Yalta to sing “Two Stars” in a duet with another participant in “The Voice,” Sharip Umkhanov, but then I realized that I was now writing an anthem for “Five Stars”! Yalta is a native place for me, I come from Sevastopol. During the festival, everyone celebrated the entry of Crimea into Russia, and I myself had just received a Russian passport.
As they say, the stars aligned.
Yes!.. And we are driving in the car, I am steering with one hand, and writing the lyrics of the song with the other... When we arrived at our destination, the song was already ready, and a few days later it was recorded. You know, I really like the energy of something large-scale; I constantly feel the desire to unite everyone. And I worked well in groups - in the musical We Will Rock You, and in the group Non Stop, and in Reflex...

You are in no way associated with Reflex.
This needs to be sorted out. Despite the fact that the participants perform in rather revealing costumes, there are excellent vocals and live singing at concerts. Ira Nelson is a great singer and artist. Slava Tyurin is a talented composer and producer. It was he who invited me to the group when, after the “New Wave” in 2008, I was looking around in search of myself. At that time I had what seemed to be a fairly successful track “Angel Wings” on my hands, but there were no connections and no understanding of what to do next. I always wanted to pursue a solo career, and after “Wave” it seemed to me that I had learned something and could handle everything on my own. But then I realized that no, I couldn’t handle it. A year later, Slava called me - even before Volna I worked for him in the Non Stop group - and said: “Come join us at Reflex.”
And you immediately agreed?
I respect their creativity very much, so I agreed without a doubt. But she didn’t shine much in the group, because at that time there was some downtime: Slava and Ira lived in Los Angeles, they wrote albums there, and, by and large, there was no time to work with the group. But I have improved relationships in the right circles. In general, the first offer I received after working at Reflex was to appear in a men's magazine. At first I refused, but then I thought: why not? The yacht, the sea, I am the master of the situation, they promised me that I would shoot as I want, and besides, the photographer is my old friend Roma Kadaria... But then the editors and I fought a lot over each photo - I wanted to choose less candid, but more aesthetic. It wasn't easy.
What happened after Reflex?
I participated in the national selection for Eurovision with a song written by Swedish authors, but after that everything stalled for a while, and then I got on “The Voice”. At the blind audition, all four chose me - Leonid Agutin, Dima Bilan, Alexander Gradsky, and Pelageya.
And you weren't ready for this...
I thought: “Oh my God, I need to make up my mind.” Agutin did not show any special emotions, and Dima, I remember, jumped up from his seat and started screaming, Polya also supported, and Gradsky gave me the last place in his team, although there was still a whole day of casting ahead and among the fifty participants there could have been someone more talented. I was very flattered and now I want to say a big thank you to everyone. Everyone who knows me knows that I have been working towards this for a very long time. As a result, I worked with Leonid Agutin, which I am very happy about: he is a talented composer, a wonderful artist who performs all production tasks himself. And I have always strived for the same. I had two producers, but somehow it didn’t work out with them, and now I act on my own.
So now you are your own boss?
Yes, but my team helps me. You must have your own management, because it is impossible to simultaneously iron your suit and think about where you need to go and what to write down. Sometimes I don’t have time to put on my makeup, comb my hair, or eat; I even arrived at my own presentation after drinking just one cup of coffee. Now I’m learning from my mistakes, I write a lot, I try to show everything I can. Thank God, “The Voice” gave us all the opportunity to be heard. There are viewers, and this motivates me to write new songs, such as “Our First New Year.” My daughter, by the way, took it for a school event - she asked for a backing track, remade the text and presented it at her “New Year's Light” » . (Smiling.)
Does she also play music?
Diana belongs to that category of children who, having creative parents, like to do everything themselves: she sings, comes to the studio, records something, participates in theatrical productions at school, and organizes some events. Unfortunately, we see each other almost once a day, or even less often, so I try to take her to all the shoots, she also starred in my video. I don’t drag her into show business because... For example, at her age I couldn’t imagine my life without music, without a stage, without all this paraphernalia, but with her everything is different. She is a person of mood: when she is comfortable, she can be very, very bright, when not, she gets tired quickly. My mother didn’t drag me anywhere either, I shook her myself: “Do something, I need to sing.” ( Smiling.) In Sevastopol there was only one group in which I subsequently ended up. It was called “Multi-Max”, and there were many Maxims and Maximovs. It was just fate that I ended up there. I sang in it for six years and learned a lot as an artist.
But what about the classic parental “you need to get a serious profession”?
And I received a specialty - I graduated from the Institute of Foreign Languages in Sevastopol. I understood that I needed this for life. And now knowledge of English and French helps to sing songs and communicate with people on tour. Nowadays languages are a completely natural and obligatory element of education. And I’m not talking about the university, but in general - you need to know at least one foreign one. But I didn’t intend to work in my specialty, because music and the stage are my calling, I can’t do anything else at a professional level.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you didn't have many prospects in Sevastopol. How did you see your future?
There were and are very good music schools there. My mother saw how rhythmic I was, how I could listen and hear music, and sent me to school. If she hadn’t done this... In general, everything comes from the parents, they must develop the child’s talents. At school, the teachers took charge of me and told my mother: “You have a talented child who will go to competitions.” My mother still sometimes asks me: “How is this possible? Maybe they replaced you at the maternity hospital?” He doesn’t understand how it is that in a family where there are no musicians, a person appears who plays music at a certain professional level.
What is your family's profession?
Mom is a teacher, dad is a military man, grandmother is a school director, another grandmother is a primary school teacher, grandfather is a physics teacher... These are also creative professions, in fact. A good teacher is an artist. People came to my family’s open lessons to watch this stage performance. ( Smiling.)
Elena, there is a gap in your creative biography; you were married then. Did you really leave the stage for the sake of your family?
(Thinking about it.) I am the kind of person who cannot do many things at the same time. If I am intensely involved in artistic activities, then I have little time left for my family, and then my mother and all my relatives join in to almost spoon feed me. After getting married, I focused exclusively on myself, my pregnancy, my apartment, and borscht. I was just such a wife-wife. My husband and I came to Moscow together from Sevastopol, and I was building a family home in a city that was still unfamiliar. I understood: when the child is born, I will be with him for some time, and I did not have the thought, like many colleagues, that “I’ll take a short break and then go to work.” Perhaps if I had now gotten married again and given birth to a second child, I would have reasoned this way, but then I didn’t. I actually didn’t know if my career would start, since I had absolutely nothing here. I just watched TV and dreamed of the stage, but I also dreamed of having a happy family - a beloved and loving husband, a child, whom I was really looking forward to. But it didn’t work out.
What happened?
I realized that nothing would work out with my husband, and I started all over again. I still had a small child in my arms. My father was sick. I, too, was not entirely healthy: a difficult birth, postpartum depression, lack of milk... I did not leave the hospital: my daughter constantly had a tummy ache, she did not sleep. And at that moment we remained in the female composition. My father is gone. Diana's dad and I already had different lives. And my mother helped me with my child for twelve years so that I could do my work. She supported the family, and I was a dad to both myself and Diana - I earned money, realizing that there was no one to count on. This is how we existed. We also had a cat, but she died. Now I feel as if I am my own daughter’s child, because in some matters Diana has already outgrown me.
Is she an independent girl?
Absolutely. She can live alone for weeks, cook her own breakfast and still not be late for school. We don’t have this: wake me up, iron my shirt and take me out, and then wait with lunch. We never had a nanny. Now Diana has grown up and does everything herself.
Diana is thirteen, a difficult age begins. Are you waiting for some teenage rebellion?
No, the only problem so far is that she cut off her hair, a whole 15 centimeters. I wanted volume, curls. How I squealed! “Diana, no more, you’ll want long ones and won’t know how to grow them!” ( Smiles.) I have already started to put on makeup, but with restraint. Her dad, whom she sees once every few months - despite the fact that they live in the same city - is against it, and in general everyone is against it. In general, Diana and I, of course, are not without conflicts, but I am very proud of her, I have an amazing child. She has a core. And that's why I know I can rely on her. Sometimes she says to me: “Mom, stop it, mom, what are you doing?” We have a partnership with her. We have been living as dorm roommates for two years now, sharing our nice rented apartment for two.
Rented apartment?
About housing - this is absolutely lovely. I've been waiting for my apartment since 2008. Everything I ever earned I invested in it. That is, in fact, I don’t have money, it’s all there. And the house took twelve years to complete - it started back in 2002. And all this time we
Diana and I lived out of suitcases. Perhaps soon we will finally move into our own home, hurray! Some time ago, an excellent initiative group of shareholders decided to attract
brought the issue to the attention of the press and asked me to contribute to publicity. I sang on the ruins, on the concrete. The governor of the Moscow region came, TV channels “360°”
Podmoskovye" and "Russia 1", other reporters. A few months - and the problem was solved. One of these days we should receive the keys to our apartment.
Wow, when I saw you on stage - blooming and laughing, I thought that everything in your life had been arranged for a long time.
You know, nothing is ever given for nothing. When I appeared on stage, I had a blue dress, artificial diamonds worth one and a half thousand rubles, I was tanned - I came from Sevastopol. And someone thought: “Yeah, everything is tied up with her, she bought them all.” And when they ask me how I do everything, I tell them how much they need to eat first. I don’t want to say: look how difficult my life was. It's not easy for everyone. They just think about those on TV: “What problems could they possibly have? Children were fathered by oligarchs, everything is free for them.” And if the artist is divorced, then everyone is sure that she, let’s say, lives well on the compensation. This is not always the case.
I see that this attitude really upsets you.
Yes. But now everything is finally going really well. Friends come up and say: “Lena, congratulations, you’ve been working towards this for so many years, you deserve it!” I tell everyone: “Guys, the main thing is to really, really want it.” And don’t forget about all sorts of karmic things: you need to give more to people, do good, love more, sing for free. I often did this at charity events and in orphanages. And my mother, whom I have now sent to rest, also repeats: “Lena, you don’t need to constantly do this for money, do as much as possible for people just like that.”
Elena Maksimova is a star of Russian show business. She gained the greatest popularity in her solo career after participating in, “Exactly the Same” and winning the project “Exactly the Same. Super season." Before that she performed in the groups “Non Stop”, “Decadence” and.

Personal life
Lena married Vadim Gitlin at the age of 21. The young couple went to Moscow. But after the birth of their daughter Diana, the couple’s relationship deteriorated. Maksimova returned to her native Sevastopol without her husband and with a small child. She experienced the separation painfully. It seemed to her that she would rather become a grandmother than get married again. And the ex-husband eventually headed the Roskontrol Consumer Union.
Later, the singer began a relationship with a colleague. They even recorded joint compositions. One of them is “Promise me love.”
But at the time of the affair, Evgeniy was married to actress Natalya Troitskaya.

Biography of Elena Maximova
Elena Maximova's childhood
Lena was born in Sevastopol. She started singing from early childhood. Mom worked in a kindergarten, the same one where her daughter went. Elena sang and performed almost non-stop. In my mother’s kindergarten, she was practically the permanent Little Red Riding Hood and the Snow Maiden. Her signature number at that time was the elephant trainer's song. Covered with a gray painted blanket, the teacher portrayed an elephant, and the young artist sang.
At eleven, she was already performing in the “Multi-Max” ensemble, which traveled to many cities across the country, participated in various competitions, winning more than once. The ensemble worked on a professional basis. Elena’s mother even had to quit her job in order to take her daughter to competitions. The girl graduated from music school.
After school, she entered the university and graduated with honors. It must be said that Lena dreamed of being an artist since childhood, but her parents insisted that she first receive an education. Since she was good at languages since school, she applied to the Faculty of Foreign Languages. Lena did not get enough points for the budget department, so she had to study for a fee.
Elena Maksimova - former soloist of the group "Reflex"
It was difficult for my parents; they earned money wherever they could. The girl decided to work too and began performing in clubs and cafes, and in the summer - in rest homes and sanatoriums. She understood that she still wanted to become a singer. Maksimova entered GITIS (Black Sea branch). Her course is located in the Sailors' Club theater, which belonged to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. From that moment on, she became a soloist of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters orchestra.
It was a good experience for her as a future singer. They performed at the military band festival, which took place in Cannes, and represented Russia there. Maksimova performed compositions by Patricia Kaas. It was 1998. In the same year, Elena won the festival, whose name is “Yalta-Moscow-Transit”.
Maksimova not only worked in the orchestra, she performed in the music hall, in sanatoriums in Crimea, and at holidays.
The beginning of the career of singer Elena Maksimova
Despite graduating from college with honors, the girl never worked in her specialty, but it cannot be said that knowledge of foreign languages was not useful to her in later life.
In 2004, she successfully passed the casting for participation in the musical “We will rock you”, was selected from 1000 applicants and was included in the main cast. Brian May became her musical consultant. It turned out that a member of the Queen group had been following the successes of the aspiring singer for a long time; he noted her excellent pronunciation and amazing timbre. For six months the performance ran every day, seven days a week.
Voice 2 - Elena Maksimova, Nargiz Zakirova, Inna Zhelannaya - `Ivan`
Producer Vyacheslav Tyurin invited Elena to a new project in 2006. It was work in the group “Non Stop”, which became a good step in her career for the young singer, since it was with this group that she became a participant in the “Five Stars” music festival.
In 2008, Maksimova took part in the New Wave competition and reached the finals. In the finale, she performed the song “Angel Wings,” which amazed the audience and for a long time was one of the most frequently downloaded songs on the Internet. This competition made the girl recognizable. She immediately began recording the album. It was released in August 2009. The following people worked on this album with her: composer Pavel Kashin, the group “Ethnosphere”, author Olga Shamis. Elena performed the songs in English. Her perfect knowledge of the language and her education once again helped her.
In Moscow, at the Mir concert hall, composer Kashin presented his new project “Decadence”. Maksimova became the voice of this group. In the same year, she became one of the soloists of the Reflex group, where she worked for almost two years. When she started singing in the group, it was no longer very popular, but the singer gained invaluable touring experience. In the spring of 2011, she left the group to try her hand at solo performances.
Maksimova began preparing her concert program, which she had already presented by the summer. The singer calls the new musical direction in which she is now working intellectual pop. In the summer of the same year, Elena appeared in Playboy magazine, where her candid photographs were published.
2013 brought the singer the opportunity to reveal herself in a new way, becoming a participant in the show “The Voice 2”. She performed at the blind audition with the song “Run to You”. The performance was so worthy that all four jury members voted for Elena. Perfectly clear vocals created the impression of being an accomplished singer at the concert. Leonid Agutin became Maximova’s mentor on the project. The singer believes that the strongest team was selected from her mentor.
Voice 2 – Elena Maksimova – “Back in USSR”
Elena reached the semi-finals of the show. She performed a cover version of the famous song “Back in USSR”, which was performed at one time by The Beatles. Their songs were often performed by the singer with her group, and in her soul she feels like a “rocker”.
The mentor cast his vote not for Elena, but for Nargiz, another participant from Agutin’s group. Maksimova believes that he did the right thing, since Nargiz is the strongest among them. She herself also plans to root for her in the finals.
Speaking about her participation in the project, Maksimova said that it was a great success and personal victory for her that she reached the semi-finals. She came across worthy and strong opponents who would not be offended by losing. Although, as an ambitious and professional singer, Elena really wanted to get to the finals.
Elena Maksimova today
Now Maksimova says that looking back, remembering her performances and tours with different groups, it is safe to say that she has been waiting for the “Voice” show all her life. Thanks to a mentor like Agutin, who revealed her as a musician and director, she found herself at a certain level of success.
The project gave Elena a lot, she became famous and wants to use this in her future work and career. As long as people want to listen to her songs, she will sing. Maksimova is not going to rest after the project, believing that the level of success must be maintained. The only thing she will do is get some sleep, and then begin to think about her future plans. She has a lot of work ahead of her.
Personal life
Elena got married immediately after graduating from the University. She and her husband went to Moscow. Their daughter Diana was born there. After some time, the girl returned to Sevastopol, but only with her daughter. She had to become the family's breadwinner. Since all the old connections were lost, we had to start from scratch.
Maksimova took mother and daughter to Moscow, where they live in a rented apartment. During the show, the daughter supported her mother. Elena says that she often goes on tour with her, she really likes concert activities, and perhaps her daughter will become a director or manager.
The singer had to go through a lot in life, enduring blows. Her soul, as Maksimova says, is covered with an impenetrable shell, but on the project, most of the songs she performed were lyrical. Every time she went on stage, she had to show emotions, and for this she had to remove her shell and callousness.
