Early Life and Musical Beginnings
Born Valeria Gureeva on January 28, 1988, in Novy Urengoy, Russia, LeRa Moskwa's passion for music emerged at a tender age. At six, she began singing, and by twelve, she was writing poetry and composing her first song at fourteen. Recognizing that school could hinder her musical aspirations, LeRa dedicated two weeks to preparing for and passing her final exams externally.
Move to Moscow and Contract with Igor Markov
After seeing an advertisement for a Moscow-based production center, LeRa's pursuit of a career in the capital city took shape. Upon arriving in Moscow, she quickly realized that she was dealing with extortionists and decided to search for a genuine producer at a karaoke bar. After two weeks of nightly visits, her luck turned. At a business meeting, she encountered Igor Markov, a producer who recognized her exceptional vocal abilities and subsequently offered her a contract.
Debut Album "Masсква" and "Raznye"
In 2003, LeRa officially changed her surname to Moskwa, inspired by her stage name, and enrolled at the Moscow State Law Institute. The following year, she formed a band that accompanied her on live performances for several years. Inspired by her surroundings, people, and relationships, Moskwa penned songs in various settings, including rehearsals, cafes, and even on the street. Many of her lyrics were autobiographical in nature.
Breakthrough with "SMS-naya Lyubov"
LeRa's debut album, "Masсква," was released in 2005, featuring songs like "7 etazh" and "Nu, nakonets-to." The album received airplay on major radio stations across the country. In 2007, she released her second album, "Raznye." The music video for the track "SMS-naya Lyubov" topped MTV's "SMS-chart" just a week after its premiere.
Collaboration with Semyon Slepakov
In 2010, LeRa Moskwa signed a contract with Semyon Slepakov. As a result, her songs "My s toboy" and "7 etazh" became the soundtracks for every episode of the comedy series "Univer."
Personal Life
Personal details about LeRa Moskwa are scarce. In October 2010, she gave birth to a son, Platon, in the United States. In 2016, she married her partner, Pavel Evlakhov. The couple exchanged tattoos with each other's initials on their ring fingers.
Recent Projects
LeRa Moskwa continues to balance her family life with her music career. In 2017, she released music videos for the songs "Oskolok," "Yalta," and "Navsegda (Novogodnyaya)." She has also been promoting her new project, "Bizikub," an interactive toy for children.
Social Media and Fan Engagement
LeRa Moskwa maintains a strong online presence through her Instagram and official website. She regularly shares personal photos and videos with her fans, keeping them updated on her latest ventures.
