The 46-year-old vocalist of the City 312 group, Svetlana Nazarenko, performing under the pseudonym Aya, has noticeably recovered. According to the most conservative estimates, the singer gained a dozen kilograms in weight. However, Svetlana always admitted that with a height of 165 cm and a fifth breast size, it is difficult for her to control her weight - every extra kilogram makes her visually fat. However, the woman still ate right and went in for sports, which allowed her to look great.
I used to lose weight without any diet. Once I spent a month and a half in China. Ate to satiety, and lost eight kilograms! And all because there was no mayonnaise, butter, sour cream. And the bread there is completely different - rice, very light. I lost weight and started doing yoga: six kilograms left in a month and a half. She dropped almost the same amount thanks to many hours of rehearsals and filming in the television project Just Like It. I lost my appetite from fatigue.
Once, a photo of Nazarenko was even used without her knowledge in an advertisement for weight loss coffee. The attackers then created a fake blog of the singer, where they praised their product on her behalf.

Aya then justified herself to the fans, assuring them that she did not drink any coffee, and the secret of her harmony was food restrictions and sports.
I really have to constantly struggle with being overweight. But yoga, food restrictions and the advice of a professional dietitian help me with this. And I don’t drink any “wonderful” coffee!
Perhaps Nazarenko decided to take a break from the restrictions, because lately she has recovered a lot. Some of the photos just don't recognize her! However, fans still consider their favorite attractive. Some even write that she has become more feminine than before.
The singer brings coffee to the chosen one herself.
Next year, the Gorod 312 group will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Work on grandiose shows is already underway. The band's current plans include the release of a video for the new song "Spring". Filming of the video took place the other day in Kyiv. It was there that the correspondent of the portal e-motion.com.ua talked with the singer about love, men and other intimate passions of the vocalist.
Aya (aka - Svetlana Nazarenko) admitted that lately she can not fall in love. It's not even so much about disappointment in men, but about the fact that the beautiful singer understands that the more popular you are, the farther ordinary human relationships are from you.
In general, some men have become timid - they are afraid to take the first step. And I'm not the kind of person who would express his sympathies himself. I can only make some hints, show my attitude. But I was brought up in such a way that a man should seek a woman, and not vice versa, Svetlana believes. Finding the perfect man is simply impossible. Of the stars of show business, I, unfortunately, can not single out anyone. Maybe because I know a little more about them, I see a different side of their image. You know, at one time I really liked the actor Hugh Jackman. Outwardly clean. It seemed to me that his face was so cool - masculine, without sweets. And at the same time, the image is so hard and impregnable. And suddenly someone tells me that he is not a man at all. They could lie, of course, but I'm already afraid to make a mistake. Creative people are crazy. A man should not be a creative profession - you don’t believe that, you understand?

I never answer the question if my heart is free. Why? I don’t want the person who is next to me to calm down and think that I decided for myself that this is my man. Relationships must be built on complete trust. There will be no checks on my part - I consider it below my dignity. But I will never give a guy a reason to think that I am his forever, and there is no need to work in this direction anymore. Keep doubting all the time.
But the girl willingly tells what she is like in everyday life:
I love taking care of a man. A man should not clean the house - that suits me. A man should not wash clothes - that suits me too. I don't need to serve coffee in bed every day, because, again, I myself love to woo a man.

Svetlana Anatolyevna Nazarenko, better known as Aya, is the vocalist of the City 312 group. At one time, she made a real breakthrough in show business, collected stadiums and won the love of millions of fans from all over Russia and from neighboring countries.
The future show business star was born on October 17, 1970 in the city of Bishkek, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Her parents are representatives of professions that have absolutely nothing to do with creativity, but singing in the family was very much appreciated.
Nine years after the birth of Svetlana, she had a younger brother, who was named Alexei.
When the girl was seven years old, she was sent to a children's choir, where she immediately began to solo. In 1982, Sveta performed at the republican festival of folk art, where she was noticed by one of the best teachers of vocal art - Rafail Sarlykov.
The teacher liked the girl so much that he immediately invited her to perform in his ensemble called "Araket". This group performed national songs of the peoples of the Soviet Union, as well as German, Spanish, Latin American songs. The ensemble often went on tour around the country, earned fame, even won the All-Union Political Song Festival in Moscow. But for the young Svetlana Nazarenko, this did not seem like a great achievement - she did not want to be just one of the vocalists, the ambitious girl longed for the glory of the soloist and therefore left the ensemble.
Svetlana Nazarenko came up with a pseudonym for herself, under which she will perform - Aya. She began to constantly participate in various competitions, concerts, festivals that were held in the Union, achieved more and more success, won prizes.
After winning the competitions, the girl decided to consolidate her success and began to record a record. Her first albums were Magnetic Night and Broken Radio.
But this was not enough for the girl, she understood that she would never realize her full potential in Kyrgyzstan.
In 2001, Svetlana graduated from the Institute of Arts and rushed to conquer the capital of Russia, taking with her two friends - Dmitry and Leonid Pritul. They created a group that they called "City 312" - in honor of their hometown of Bishkek (312 is its telephone code).
Svetlana Nazarenko became the soloist of the group.
Conquering Moscow turned out to be much more difficult than Kyrgyzstan. The five of them lived in a small apartment, ate what they had to. But after a couple of years, the group gained fame. First, they won the "Rainbow of Talents" contest. Then their famous hits "Out of Access" and "Turn around" began to sound from every courtyard, every car in Moscow, they began to give concerts in the best halls of the capital.
When the films "Day Watch", "Waiting for a Miracle" and "Peter FM" were released, the group's popularity reached its peak.
Photos of Svetlana Nazarenko and her group began to appear in all the tabloids, their performances gathered crowds of people.
The popularity of Aya and her music increased even more when she appeared in the musical parody project Just Like It.
A remarkable fact about the group "Gorod 312": the contract with Real Records was signed on December 3, 2005 - 3.12.
Svetlana carefully hides her personal life from everyone. She says that she has a soulmate, but the singer does not want to tell anyone about him and make their relationship public.
Svetlana, she is Aya, like any native of the East, always keeps her house clean and comfortable and does not allow a man to cook, clean, or do laundry. Svetlana believes that these are only women's activities. In response, a woman wants to receive care and fidelity from her beloved.
Aya already has a grown daughter. She graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations and works in the field of diplomacy. She has excellent hearing, just a phenomenal memory and wonderful English, as Svetlana said in an interview. In addition, Svetlana's daughter sings beautifully, but she did not connect her life with music.
Aya admits that she is very homesick for her homeland and tries to get out there as often as possible.
Svetlana said that the group was made up of friends, they always interact with each other, help each other. Perhaps that is why the team has been afloat for so long.
The two most important events in the life of the group, according to Svetlana Nazarenko:
Svetlana never wanted to leave the group, she believed that she had no right to do so. She loves what she does very much.
All the songs released during the existence of the group, Svetlana considers good and is very glad that they are often performed at home events and in karaoke.
The daughter of her bandmate Maria Aya just loves it. They are often chosen by families to relax in nature, and they just try to see each other as often as possible.
In the 2000s, the City 312 team gained popularity. The composition of the group includes 6 people. The soloist is Svetlana Azarenka, better known under the creative pseudonym Aya.
Why did the team "City 312" choose this name? The composition of the group comes from - Bishkek. It was there that they first met together. And 312 is the telephone code of this city.
This pop-rock band, which is also called "Citizens", was born in 2001. The first team consisted of 4 people. It was they who performed at the first concerts under the name "City 312". The composition of the group has changed over time. So, the guitarist, previously known for his participation in the Ayan group, could not stand the rhythm of life in the capital after the group moved to Moscow. Masha (Maria Prytula) took his place.
Drummers changed regularly in the band. The most famous to the general public was Igor Javad-Zade, who played with Butusov, performed in Zemfira, Igor Talkov, Kristina Orbakaite, Alexander Marshall and many others.
At various times, Viktor Golovanov, also known by Sergei Kovtun, also played drums.
"City 312", the composition of the group you will find in this article, has become one of the few bands that have gained fame and popularity thanks to writing soundtracks for modern films.
In 2006 she filmed "Piter FM". The main theme of the film was the song "Out of Access Zone", which was performed by the band "City 312". The band members wrote this song at the request of the creators of the picture. In total, two dozen compositions were used in the film, including "Underwood", "Aquarium", "Mumiy Troll", but only this one became a hit immediately after the premiere. Everyone immediately started talking about the team "City 312". The composition of the group, photos of the participants are in this article, immediately began to interest music critics and fans.
In 2006, the group shot a video for the song "Stay", which became the soundtrack to Timur Bekmambetov's science fiction film "Day Watch". This composition was even nominated for an MTV award as the best soundtrack of the year.
Later they wrote songs for the comedy melodrama "The Irony of Fate. Continuation", Yevgeny Bedarev's fantastic melodrama "New Year's Tariff".
The City 312 group released their first disc in 2006. It was called "Out of Access Zone", like the main hit. After the release of this album, another of their songs, "Lanterns", became popular on the Russian stage.
"Citizens" immediately impressed their fans and music critics with their diversity, they were not afraid to experiment and play in different genres, from heavy metal to rumba and even jazz.
In 2007, their second album was presented to the public. Album "Turn around". In addition to the main hit, which became the name of the disc, it included such popular songs as "213 Roads", "The Girl Who Wanted Happiness".
After that, the group began active tours. And not only in Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union, but also abroad. With concerts, the collective "City 312" visited the USA, Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, Holland, the Canary Islands.
Now the group continues to conduct active touring activities, performs a lot, works on new compositions and records. He continues to write songs for films.
The permanent soloist of the group is known to fans under the pseudonym Aya. She was born in Kyrgyzstan in 1970. The only one in the group who has dual citizenship (Russian and Kyrgyz).
She dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood. At the age of 7 she became a soloist of the Big Concert Children's Choir. In 1982, she showed herself at the republican competition of folk art, after which she was noticed by the famous Kyrgyz producer Rafail Sarlykov. He invited her to his ensemble "Araket".
Soon after, Nazarenko began her solo career. She took part in competitions and festivals, winning prizes.
In the 90s, four of her solo albums were released - "Good Night", "Broken Radio", "Music of Dreams" and "Tea with Strawberry Flavor". Despite success at festivals and popularity in Kyrgyzstan, she felt that she could not fully realize herself. By 2001, she graduated from the Kyrgyz Institute of Arts with a degree in pop vocals.
Shortly thereafter, she teamed up with the Prytula brothers, Dmitry and Leonid, to form their own band. So the group "City 312" appeared. The composition, in which the soloist has not changed, has undergone various changes during its existence, but the backbone has been preserved for 16 years now.
In 2007, Nazarenko received the highest creative award of Kyrgyzstan. She was awarded the title of Honored Artist of this Republic.
Dmitry and Leonid were part of the original composition of the City 312 group. Their names became well known to the Russian public. They are still playing as a team.
Dmitry Pritula, nicknamed Dim, sings backing vocals and plays keyboards. He is the author of the texts of most of the songs that the band performs. He graduated from the School of Music, conductor-choir department.
His brother Leonid, nicknamed Leon, writes music for songs. He also has a musical background. In the same music school, he studied at the pop department. He plays bass guitar in the band.
Over time, a new guitarist appeared in the group - Dmitry's wife Maria Ileeva, who took his last name. So as many as three participants with the surname Pritula appeared in the team "City 312". The composition of the group, which Masha quickly joined, only grew stronger from this. Maria Prytula plays the guitar. Her musical education was limited to private guitar courses with Alexei Knyshov and Timur Mardaleishvili.
Alexander Ilchuk plays the second guitar in the group "City 312". He has the State Musical College of Variety and Jazz Art in Moscow and the Novosibirsk State Conservatory named after Mikhail Glinka. In these educational institutions, he studied guitar.
In order to play in this group, he passed the casting. In addition to him, three more musicians claimed the place of the second guitarist. As Ilchuk admits, he was very late, almost two hours. That's why he was last. But he managed to make the right impression. Immediately after listening, it was he who was offered to collaborate with the group in the future.
Another current member of the team is Leonid Nikonov, nicknamed Nick. He graduated from the Saratov Regional College of Arts. Received a diploma in drums. In the group "City 312" he plays percussion instruments.
Nikonov has extensive drumming experience, especially in rock bands. He has a rich concert and studio activity to his credit.
Since 2015, in parallel with performances in the City 312 group, he has been playing in Seryoga's new project called Polygraph Sharikov. Also acts as an artist in a musical staged by Ilya Averbukh.
Today we will tell you who Svetlana Nazarenko is. Photos of our heroine confirm that appearance is her forte. We are talking about a Russian performer.
Svetlana Nazarenko is a singer whose parents were not connected with art or music. However, everyone in the family loved to sing. The parents of our heroine also have a son, Alexei. He was born nine years after his daughter. Already at the age of seven, Svetlana Nazarenko became a soloist of the Bolshoi Children's Choir. At the age of 12, she was invited to perform at a folk art festival. There, the girl was noticed by Rafail Sarlykov, one of the leading Kyrgyz teachers of vocal art. He called our heroine with his ensemble called "Araket". The basis of the repertoire of this group was Latin American, Spanish, German songs, as well as the work of the peoples of the USSR. The ensemble toured extensively. His fame grew. Soon "Araket" became a laureate of the second All-Union Political Song Festival. This event took place in Moscow. In Kyrgyzstan, the ensemble received the title of People's. However, our heroine wanted more than the role of one of the members of the team. Therefore, the girl left Araket. She soon began her solo career.
We continue the conversation about how the creative path that Svetlana Nazarenko went through developed. "City 312" is the group that brought our heroine the most fame. However, the performer did not immediately connect her life with this team. She chose the stage name Aya for herself. It was in this image that she took part in various competitions and festivals. Such events took place on the territory of the CIS. The girl won second place at the festival called "Bukhara". At the competitions "Yalta" and "Tien Shan" she won. Soon the performer became a finalist of another major festival. It was called "Yalta-Moscow-transit". To consolidate the success, the singer recorded solo magnetic albums. The records were called "Broken Radio" and "Good Night". Soon there were also CD-albums "Tea with Strawberry Flavor" and "Music of Dreams".
However, this girl was also not enough. Our heroine realized that in Kyrgyzstan she would not be able to fully realize her own potential. In 2001, she graduated with honors from the Institute of Arts. There, our heroine was a student at the Faculty of Pop Vocals. Soon the girl went to conquer Moscow. She was not alone, she had a small group of like-minded people - brothers Leonid and Dmitry Prytuly. Together they founded a group called City 312. 312 is the telephone code for the city of Bishkek. Aya became the soloist of the group. By that time, Kyrgyzstan had already been conquered by our heroine. In 2007, she received the title of Honored Artist.
Conquering the Russian capital turned out to be much more difficult. The musicians of the group denied themselves everything. The four members of the team lived in one cramped apartment, since they did not have the means to rent separate apartments. However, after a few years the group became famous. First, our heroine with the musicians received the title of laureate of the festival called "Rainbow of Talents". Later, with the compositions "Turn around" and "Out of the access zone", the band began to perform at the best concert venues in the capital. The group gains even more fame after working on the films "Waiting for a Miracle", "Peter FM" and "Day Watch". A new wave of interest in the performer and her work arose in 2015. The artist took part in the third season of the show called “Just Like It”.
Our heroine reliably hides all private information from the eyes of strangers. The performer notes that she has a beloved man, but the girl does not want to make the relationship public or disclose his name. The singer loves to create comfort in the house. According to her, she will not allow the representative of the stronger sex to wash or cook for himself. She emphasizes that these are exclusively female occupations. In response, from a loved one, the girl takes care and feels trust. Our heroine strongly feels her own “separation” from her homeland. She yearns for Kyrgyzstan and tries to visit there as soon as possible. The girl has a special love for the Issyk-Kul lake.
Svetlana Nazarenko recorded the album Good Night. She also managed to release the following solo records: "Broken Radio", "Tea with Strawberry Flavor" and "Music of Dreams".
The team "City 312" and Svetlana Nazarenko performed songs that were included in the album "213 Roads". The group also recorded the following records: “No Options”, “Don't Lose Me, Moscow”, “New Music”, “City 312. Live”, “Turn Around”, “Out of Access Zone”.
Svetlana Nazarenko, together with the team, tried to create music for films. And this group did very well. Some Russian critics and musicians spoke positively about the work of the team. Among them: Artemy Troitsky, Vladimir Shakhrin, Sergey Mazaev.
In 2015, our heroine received the title of "Honorary Citizen of Bishkek". The performer claims that it is not very difficult to achieve the goal, it is much more difficult to keep it. The girl notes that after arriving in the Russian capital, she and the musicians of the group agreed that every day they would do at least something to promote and develop their own creativity. The vocalist emphasizes that the main thing is faith in your work. Now you know who Svetlana Nazarenko is. Photos of the performer are attached to this material.
