Alisa Mikhailovna Voks (née Kondratiev). She was born on June 30, 1987 in Leningrad. Russian singer, presenter, former soloist Leningrad group. Known as MC Lady Alice, a resident of the D'12 club.

“According to the stories of my parents, at a very young age I climbed onto stools and began to sing, dance or grimace - in general, I did what I am doing now,” Alice recalled.

Her mother wanted her daughter to become a choreographer. As Vox said, her parent in her youth tried to become a model with Vyacheslav Zaitsev, but she did not succeed.

However, Alice's mother used a creative approach in her upbringing: at the age of four, she sent her to the ballet studio at the Lensoviet Palace of Culture. Before that, the girl was kept on a diet for a year so that she was quite slim. Alice still remembers how she constantly wanted to eat.

“For one year I hung on the ballet barre like a monkey, and then my mother took me to the children’s studio of the Music Hall, where they discovered my voice in choral classes at the age of six,” the singer shared.

And already from the first grade of the school, she simply did not have time for lessons: "six days a week I attended classes at the Music Hall and played there leading role in the play New Year's adventures Alice, or magic book Desires" directed by Andrey Skvortsov.

She did her homework while sitting on the floor of the locker rooms or dance classes, and therefore she constantly received reprimands for bad handwriting.

But not only mother was engaged in Alice. As Vox noted, her father also gave her a lot: “My dad raised and raised me, taught me everything I know, told me everything I know and gave me a direction in development,” she once wrote in social networks.

However, let us return to the childhood of our heroine.

Although she was taken away from the children's children's studio (due to poor school performance), she continued to study in music circles, was a member of the Dance Sports Federation, studied vocals and even represented the district at city competitions.

By the eleventh grade, Alice said, she came to the conclusion that she needed to enter the Theater Academy. I entered the pop department without any problems: "at the entrance exams it was necessary to sing and dance, and in this I was strong." But when they began to show her a kettle, an iron, a bunny, sketches for justified silence, she realized that this was not her.

The girl went to Moscow and entered GITIS. There she met a vocal teacher who gave her a start in life - Lyudmila Alekseevna Afanaseva. Having raised more than one pop celebrity, she made Alice believe in herself.

It was difficult to study because of financial problems: “it was impossible to survive on four thousand from my parents,” Alice recalled. Therefore, she began to actively earn money in karaoke bars.

As Vox later said, "in the capital, surprisingly, every second guest turned out to be a producer who was going to make me a star, you just had to go to him." But she refused such offers.

At the age of 20, she left GITIS and returned to her native St. Petersburg, where she entered the University of Culture and Arts, in the department of pop-jazz vocals. She was lucky again: she got to the excellent teacher Natalya Yuryevna Ponomareva. As Alice said, the teacher worked with her "primarily with a personality, and not with a voice."

In St. Petersburg, Alice was invited to work as a vocalist in a cabaret restaurant "NEP"- until now, in his magazine advertising blocks there is a photograph of Alice in a hat with a pink feather.

Four days a week she worked in a cabaret, during the day she led weddings or corporate parties. "At the same time, I was so torn not for the sake of money, they are just bonuses for me, like in a game, and I collect them with the excitement of an avid player", - the artist explained.

Somehow she had to improvise on the stage of the Duhless club. Under the DJ's electronic beat, she hummed famous verses that harmoniously fit the music. It turned out well. Alice found her own format: vocal hosting, which, according to her, "was not in Russia before."

She began to tour a lot and began to earn good money. And if earlier she did not manage to get a job as a host on Record radio, then they themselves invited her to record jingles for them, which she still does.

In 2012, Alice went to the casting in the group "Leningrad" as a session vocalist - the team needed a soloist to replace the pregnant Yulia Kogan. Alice recalled how she met: "When he appeared in the kitchen of the studio, introduced himself and asked if I was familiar with the repertoire, I replied:" From the tenth grade, I know, "to which he muttered with a smirk:" What a nightmare "".

But after two auditions, he included her in the group and she quickly got up to speed. Her first performance took place in Germany.

Six months later, Yulia Kogan returned from the decree and they worked together. But then Kogan left the group and Vox became the only soloist.

Leningrad and Alisa Vox - "Fire and Ice"

With experience she gained her height "my personal pride is F-sharp of the second octave" she said.

“The first year in Leningrad, I called Seryozha exclusively Sergey Vladimirovich ... At first, I could not once again raise my eyes next to him, furtively looked at the back of his head on the tour bus, trying to believe that he was not disappearing, he was real! this on stage we always got up on full program trash, debauchery and sodomy," said Alice.

Alisa Vox and Sergey Shnurov

In the Leningrad group, Alisa Voks performed, perhaps, the most powerful songs of Shnur, at least of recent times - “Patriot”, “Fire and Ice”, “37th”, “Crying and Crying” and, of course, - “ Exhibit" - which became a super hit.

Leningrad and Alisa Voks - "Exhibit"

Also in the Leningrad group, Alice was remembered for her outrageousness on the verge of a foul.

At the end of March 2016, it became known that Alice Vox left the group and would again build a solo career.

True, her explanations for leaving the team and Sergei Shnurov differ.

Alisa Vox about her departure from the Leningrad group: "Friends! I have decided to leave the Leningrad group, and I am launching my own solo project! I am very glad that I can share this with you all. new stage in my life. Working with Sergey Shnurov gave me a huge experience of stage life, I am eternally grateful to him for the opportunity to develop and improve. Also, I thank all the musicians and people close to the band who have been there and supported me for the last 3.5 years. Wish me luck on the new path, and very soon we will hear from you again!

Sergey Shnurov about the departure of Alisa Vox from the Leningrad group: ""Leningrad" is what I came up with and think up. I live by this, no matter how pompous it may sound. The fact that it changes and remains that very unexpected "Leningrad", I consider one of my main successes. as I think, it's to play without fire in the eyes, fuck off. Formally. The fire on the stage should burn! And so it will be no matter what. "

Leningrad - "I'm crying"

July 22, 2016 the first solo album“Sama”, which turned out to be a rehash of the songs of the late Ukrainian artist Kuzma Skryabin. Alice's debut solo album failed.

Alice Vox Height: 168 centimeters.

Alisa Vox's personal life:

Even before joining the Leningrad group, Alisa married a club photographer from Rostov, Dmitry Burmistrov. They met at one of the parties in St. Petersburg.

In her interviews, she said more than once that her husband is a wise man and does not make scandals for her because his wife gets up on stage, they say, the show is a show. Just as she is not jealous of Shnurov.

"I was lucky, my husband treats everything with understanding. We met a very long time ago, he went all the way to becoming with me. He understands the needs of the work process, so he turns a blind eye to many things, dressing room, knows perfectly well that Sergei Vladimirovich is happily married," the artist noted.

In the fall of 2015, information appeared that Alice broke up with her husband. Cause was called then her" star fever", then an affair with Sergei Shnurov.

She stopped wearing a wedding ring, and removed her husband's surname from social networks. Also, joint photos with his wife stopped appearing in Burmistrov's account.

30-year-old Alisa Voks, the former vocalist of the Leningrad group, spoke about how she left the group, it would seem, at the pinnacle of fame. Many fans of the group still consider her the best soloist of the group for the entire existence of Leningrad. In March 2016, Alice announced her departure and the beginning solo career. Sergei Shnurov then at one of the concerts sarcastically joked about her departure.

Everyone asks me - where is Alice? In my opinion, a stupid question, since it is clear that she is not here. But we will answer with a song that Adolfych will perform (one of the members of the group. - Note. ed.). After sounded new song a group whose name sounds like, in a simple way, "go to where you were born."

After Vox released a solo album, which many called a failure. Now the singer is still in free swimming. The other day she gave an interview to Cosmo magazine, in which she spoke about her scandalous departure and the humiliation that she had to experience from Sergei Shnurov.

In fact, there was no trigger. After three years of working in a group, relations began to deteriorate rapidly, Sergey began to break down at me often, shouting ... We stopped understanding each other. I told Sergey about my decision to leave the team on March 12, 2016. In that conversation, I immediately reassured him, saying that I would remain in the group until I found and introduced a replacement. He took the news calmly, even friendly. Asked to stay until July. I agreed. We discussed technical issues, laughed, hugged and kissed goodbye ... I started looking for vocalists, showed him demos of different girls. I brought Vasilisa to the team, she worked for a year after my departure. In the meantime, we went to Ufa, played a great concert, after which Shnurov stopped answering calls and SMS. From Vasilisa, I learned that my name is forbidden even to pronounce in the team, and from the group's logistician I learned that two new girls will go to big concerts in Moscow on March 24. Just before the concert, Sergei nevertheless called, said something indistinct and hung up, not even allowing me to say goodbye to him in a human way.

Vox admits that this act of Shnurov offended her very much, but she is not angry with her former colleague:

What can you say to a person whom you regularly supported, treated, fed, comforted, inspired and encouraged ... and he ... I have never been so wrong in people. But I forgive him. Apparently I am his weakness. But that doesn't justify him. That's why I'm not going to talk to him. And I still communicate with some of the guys from the group.

Although to apologize to Shnurov, according to her, there is a lot for that. For example, for a concert during which, according to Vox, he forced her to undress on stage. Then Alice, in front of hundreds of people, first took off her dress, remaining topless, and then even “accidentally” showed her breasts to the public. After singing the song, she stood up for Sergei and, taking off her panties, threw them into the hall.

I did not like the division of the team into small communities of interest. These interests, as you understand, were far from being books. In the third year, the same jokes and stories (again, not book ones) began to annoy. I recall with dislike my feelings on the stage during the performance of humiliating shorthand performances, as well as the scolding that Sergei gave me when I tried to avoid these body movements. The most terrible memory - June 6, 2014. It's a nightmare that haunts me to this day. There was a process of passing a law banning swearing. Sergei was in a panic and did not find anything better than to undress me on stage. To get me to do this, a thorough psychological work was carried out. Sergey is an experienced manipulator. And I, a 25-year-old girl who unconditionally trusted her leader, had no choice but to obey. Everything! Since then, my life has been divided into before and after. I cried all night after the concert, for two weeks I lost my voice due to nervousness. Until now, I can not wash off this humiliation, in which I was the only victim. In addition, as it turned out, this sacrifice was completely in vain, since this law did not affect Sergei. I prefer to just forget about many other episodes.

Nevertheless, Vox is grateful for that time, because she "became better at understanding people." She dreams of a house with panoramic windows and every day "to be best version herself."

- I have a rule: do not set yourself global goals. To set a specific maximum goal means for me to set a ceiling for myself. Surrender early. Marcus Aurelius said: "Do what you must, and be what will be." I live by this principle, and the result always exceeds my expectations. Another rule (already my own): work and don't whine. It opens up immense horizons for me, because I am used to achieving success in all my endeavors.

Alice Vox - Russian singer, who received national recognition as a soloist of the Leningrad group. Resident of the club D'12. The artist is known to the club public under the name MC Lady Alice.

Alisa Mikhailovna Kondratieva was born and raised in St. Petersburg. Mom girls with early age instilled in her daughter a desire to go on stage. At the age of 4, her mother enrolled Alice in the ballet studio at the Leningrad City Council and kept her daughter on a strict diet. But when it turned out that the child had no predisposition to academic choreography, Alice was transferred to the children's studio of the Music Hall. It was there that the girl's talent for vocals was discovered in choral classes.

As a preschooler, Kondratyeva played the main role in the play "Alice's New Year's Adventures, or the Magic Book of Desires" directed by Andrei Skvortsov, and also sang and danced a lot in other children's productions. Thus, by the time she had to go to school, Alice simply did not have time for lessons.

Due to poor school performance, the parents took their daughter from the Music Hall, but Alice insisted that she be allowed to continue her vocal studies with a teacher. In addition, Alice was a member of the Dance Sports Federation and even represented the district at city competitions.

After school, the girl goes to Moscow and enters GITIS at the pop department. There, Lyudmila Afanasyeva, who brought up far more than one celebrity, became Kondratieva's teacher. The vocalist made Alice believe in her own strength and work hard. However, due to the lack of finances, it was difficult for the aspiring singer to live in the capital, and part-time jobs in karaoke bars did not bring much income. Therefore, at the age of 20, Alice Vox quit Theatre Institute, returned home and entered the local University of Culture and Arts, the department of pop-jazz vocals. After graduation, the girl worked as a vocalist in the NEP cabaret restaurant, as well as a host at corporate parties and weddings.

Music

The first success came to Alice Vox when the artist began to collaborate with the Duhless club. The singer improvised on stage, singing lines from famous songs to the DJ's electronic beat. Soon this direction, called vocal hosting, became in demand, and Alice, under the name MC Lady Alice, began to be recognized and invited to perform in nightclubs. On the radio channel "Record", where the singer was once not accepted as a radio host, Alice began to record jingles.

In 2012, the girl heard about the casting in a wide famous group"Leningrad". The team needed a new session vocalist, as she left for maternity leave. At the audition, Alice showed herself quite confidently and even joked. As a result, the singer was accepted into the group. Moreover, if at first the girl was only a studio assistant, then since the fall of 2013 she has already entered the stage as a full member of the team. Through participation in creative life"Leningrad" Alice became known to the public under the pseudonym "Vox".

It is interesting that on stage the soloist Alice Vox and the leader of the group allowed themselves to lead on the verge, and sometimes beyond the foul, and staged very frank scenes, but behind the scenes their relationship was restrained. The singer even called Shnurov by name and patronymic for a long time.

In the Leningrad group, Alisa Vox recorded many songs that became super hits. Among them are the sensational hits "Patriot", "Fire and Ice", "37th", "Bag", "Crying and Crying". The song “Exhibit” stood out especially, known for the line from the chorus “On the Louboutins” and which became a super-hit largely due to Alice’s vocals. The number of views of the video for this musical composition reached 60 million.

In 2014, in protest against the ban on the use of obscene language in performances, the artist completely undressed on the stage of the concert of the Leningrad group in Moscow during the performance of the musical composition Loves Our People. At first, the girl turned out to be half naked, but at the end of the song, Alice went behind Sergei Shnurov and took off her panties, throwing her underwear into the hall. Photos and videos of the scandalous performance were freely available on the Internet and gained a large number of views and likes.

Nevertheless, after working together for almost 4 years, Vox and Shnurov came to a mutual decision. The singer decided to complete the scandalous stage of her own creative biography and go free-floating. At the end of March 2016, Alice announced her departure from the Leningrad group and the beginning of a solo career. One of the last songs with the participation of Alisa Vox and Sergey Shnurov was the musical composition "Prayer".

Some sources of information indicated that the leader of the musical group Sergei Shnurov was the initiator of the gap, but the singer himself declined to comment. A scandal erupted on social networks: many fans of the group expressed their disagreement with the departure of Alice Vox and threatened to stop going to concerts.

Personal life

Alice Vox got married before she gained national fame. The singer's husband was a professional photographer Dmitry Burmistrov. The girl took her husband's surname and even on posters sometimes combined it with a pseudonym, signing "Alisa Voks-Burmistrova". The singer repeatedly emphasized that her husband is a wise person who is not jealous because of spicy performances, as he is perfectly able to distinguish a show from real life.

However, at the end of 2015, Alice began to appear in public without a wedding ring and removed from social networks all photos of the husband. Soon the public became aware that Vox and Burmistrov.

Alice Vox now

The singer's first album contained cover versions of the songs of the group of the late Ukrainian musician, which Alisa covered. On television and on the Internet, the artist made her debut with a video called. At the end of December of the same year, in her own Instagram account, Alice announced the release date of the second solo video for the hit “Nights”. Both songs were included in Alice's studio album called "Sama". The debut disc also included the songs "Love", "Ships", "Silence".

Alice Vox positions herself as a vocalist working in the style of "electro-pop".

In the spring of 2017, Alisa released a video for the anti-oppositional musical composition "Baby", for which the singer, according to rumors, received 2 million rubles from representatives of the Kremlin administration. Fans of the artist reacted negatively to the appearance of this clip. Alice Vox's ratings began to plummet. In August, the vocalist deleted the clip from own channel on YouTube video hosting. In the same year, new clips of the singer "Inexplicable", "Eyes", "Queen of the Disco" appeared on the network.

Now the singer is preparing to release the next album " New Alice Vox, which can be pre-ordered by visiting the vocalist's web page

Alisa Vox is a Russian singer who has received recognition from a multi-million audience as a soloist of the Leningrad group. No, this is not an exaggeration. What is the song "Exhibit" worth, the video for which has been viewed on the Internet by more than 60 million people! And all thanks to the unsurpassed vocals of Alice Vox. The biography of the girl can be called rich and interesting, but first things first.

Childhood and youth

Alisa Mikhailovna Voks (Kondratieva is her real name) was born in Leningrad. It happened on June 30, 1987. Giving an interview now and talking about her biography, Alice Vox says that in her childhood she was looking for a convenient moment to climb onto a chair and sing a song, recite a poem.

The girl's mother, who dreamed of her child's career on stage, enrolled the baby at the age of 4 in a ballet studio and put her on a strict diet. About a year later, it became clear to everyone that, unfortunately, the girl was not making much progress in this field. But Alice's mother did not give up and enrolled her in the Music Hall children's studio, where the teachers soon appreciated the young talent's vocals.

It's time to go to school. Alice, keen on performances, music, did not have enough time for lessons. Parents felt that studying was more important, so they insisted on their daughter leaving the Music Hall, allowing her to practice vocals in a school circle.

After graduating from school, Alice entered SPbGATI without any difficulties, and a year later she moved to the capital of Russia and transferred to GITIS. When the girl turned 20, she was forced to return to her hometown (due to financial problems) and continue her studies at the University of Culture and Arts.

Biography of Alice Vox: the beginning of a career

After graduating from high school, the girl worked as a host at weddings, many other celebrations, and was a vocalist at the NEP restaurant. But the first success came immediately after the start of Alice's cooperation with the Duhless club. She skillfully improvised on stage, singing popular tunes to the DJ's electronic beat. Very soon, the public appreciated this direction, and a girl named MC Lady Alice began to be invited to perform at prestigious nightclubs. But sharp turn in the biography of Alisa Vox-Burmistrova (this is her last name after marriage, but about the singer’s personal life a little later) occurred in 2012, when she successfully passed the audition and was accepted into the Leningrad group.

finest hour

At first, the girl took part only in the studio recordings of Leningrad, replacing which she went on maternity leave, but promised to return. But already in 2013, Alice, who pleasantly surprised everyone with her serious vocal abilities, charisma and self-confidence, became a full member of the group and entered the stage. She herself sang all the female parts in the compositions of the group, and together with her staged such provocative, incendiary and frank shows on stage that some people literally had their hair on end.

It is interesting that the leader of the group and the soloist allowed themselves such behavior only on stage, but behind the scenes Alice called him by name and patronymic for a long time, even lowered her eyes when talking with Sergei Shnurov.

"Patriot", "Exhibit", "Fire and Ice", "Bag" - these and many other songs became real hits. Alice's vocals, so sonorous and multifaceted, could not but attract attention and interest.

Having gone through such an interesting, fun and full of scandals together, Shnurov and Voks decided to end cooperation in 2016. As the singer says, she just wanted to finish the scandalous stage of her biography and do solo career. According to some sources, Shnurov himself initiated the gap, but the singer does not give any specific comments on this issue.

Personal life

Many fans of the singer are also interested in this page from the biography of Alisa Voks-Burmistrova. How many years did she appear in public in revealing outfits, behaved on stage either playfully or defiantly, gave interviews to the most different topics, but all these years she preferred not to talk about her personal life. It is only known that even before participating in Leningrad, she married a famous photographer and lover of club life, Alice always respected her husband, considered his opinion, spoke only positively about him. The girl has repeatedly said that this is a wise person who understands the need for such a piquant behavior on stage, that he perfectly sees the difference between the show and reality.

But already at the end of 2015, they began to notice her without a wedding ring, at the same time she deleted all joint photos with her husband from social networks. Dmitry and Alice finally broke off relations at the very beginning of 2016.

Conclusion

Today, the girl creates solo compositions, records albums. It cannot be said that the public appreciated her new songs very highly. Perhaps the fans are simply accustomed to perceive Alice as an indispensable member of the Leningrad group, to see her constantly next to the charismatic Shnurov. Most likely, fans need time to get used to the new image of Alice. We wish the girl success in this difficult period for her and we will look forward to new hits.

Alisa Burmistrova (known throughout Russia as Vox) and before "Leningrad" was a girl who took place, realized - in the very best sense. That's why we love her so much. But after scandals, Louboutins, the Internet, the press, and Russian chess, she was crushed by a classic star fever. When star disease kills you, you definitely don’t go to a psychoanalyst, you go to the boss. AT this case- to Sergei Shnurov.

Alisa Burmistrova set clear requirements for Cord:

• I am a star, and you will reckon with it.
• Stars get paid much more.
• They give me more time in the band and on stage. That is, in any concert there should be much more of my performances, songs for me, otherwise there are so many people in the team that it’s indecent for me, beautiful, to get lost in the crowd.
• "Leningrad", of course, is good, but my solo project has long matured, and I need the opportunity to devote time to it and promote it.

The old business people of show business have heard such speeches a million times, and in the vast majority of cases, one reliable answer fits. The dumbfounded Cord voiced him as if according to the textbook: “Yes, you go to ...!”

But this is not the end! Of course, such messages in rock bands are a working, daily phenomenon. No one takes offense for more than two or three days, and the show business machine rushes on without stopping.

Here is another case. As our 100% knowledgeable special agent reported, in the situation with Alice Vox, things went according to an ugly scenario. Namely: realizing that she is not a star, beautiful and talented, the girl Alice began to hack. She stopped giving all the best on the stage, and at the base, and in the studio. I decided that from now on it’s just phylonite and works half-heartedly.

Anything is forgiven in the music business: cheating, drugs, perversion, and even murder. It seems that hack is the only thing you really can't afford if you're in a group.

Everything was heading towards the worst possible outcome. But another heavy load was pressing down from above: Matilda Mozgovaya, Cord's wife, began to experience discomfort from Cord's too frank and playful public communication with Alice. In fact, Alice was doomed.

In a word, the story is so typical for show business that it may seem unpredictable only to those for whom show business is far beyond the galactic space.

Now catharsis. Three or four days ago (according to another insider insider) the Leningrad team went for a walk in the bathhouse with striptease and karaoke. And after a very impressive performance by two performers in the leisure business, the group accepted both of them into the lineup. They went on stage after a couple of rehearsals. Alice is free and, we hope, happy and full of creative impulses!

You know the rest.
