Why Alexia?

By the way, you also tried yourself as a model. At the fashion show, designer Bella Potemkina appeared on the catwalk in a dress in the colors of the Russian flag. Did you like it?

For the first time I found myself in the role of a model, Bella invited me to appear in a lookbook, and then to go on the catwalk in her dress. I thought, why not? But this is a one-time experience, I don’t plan to study modeling career Moreover, my height is not suitable. I was actually surprised that they took me. (Laughs.)

Sasha, you don’t go to the social events, while many of your peers who also decided to conquer show business - Stefania Malikova, Yurkiss - do not miss anything significant...

Well, why, sometimes my mother and I go to events, recently we were together at the awards of the RU.TV channel, and now, after our interview, I’m going to the awards of the Fashion TV Russia channel - Fashion Summer Awards 2016. (At the ceremony, Sasha received an award in the category It girl. - Ed.) But in general, I have practically no time for parties: I used to play tennis, now I play music. In general, my main plan for the next two years is to finish school and go to university.

Are you really an excellent student?

Yes, I got almost all A's.

Where are you planning to go?

At MGIMO, I want to get an economics education. I've always liked mathematics.

What about Gnesinka and dreams of the stage?

Many successful actors and singers do not have a diploma from any special institution, but this does not prevent them from being professionals in their field. I think private lessons with teachers will help me, and in a few days I will be going to New York - I will spend the summer holidays studying performing arts at the New York Film Academy. This summer camp for children from 14 to 17 years old, where lectures are given by Kevin Spacey, Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino. I think this experience will be useful to me.

You were born in New York and lived there as a child. Did you miss the city?

I haven't been there since I was 6 years old, so I don't remember it well. So I will practically get to know him again.

Is this the first time for you to be separated from your family for such a long time?

I live with my mother, I’m used to seeing her every day. Of course I'll miss you. Now she is in Sochi, playing in the musical on ice "Carmen", but when she is not on tour, we see each other every day. Mom for me in general close person, we are in very warm relations. Unlike many children of athletes, I was never an abandoned child; I always had enough attention from both my mother and father.

How are things going with your friends? Are you friends with any of the celebrity children? For example, do you know Stesha Malikova?

Yes, we know each other, we say hello, but we are not close friends. Most of the guys whose parents are famous have known each other since childhood, so they are friends. They studied at the same schools - Lomonosov or the President school in Zhukovka, and I studied at a regular state school, so my friends are not “golden youth”. (Laughs.)

Do you take the subway?

I usually don’t go on the subway, only if I’m late.

Do you suffer from popularity and recognition? Can you go to Gorky Park for a walk without security?

Can. I don't have security, why? I am rarely recognized on the street.

And the armored car doesn't follow you?

Of course not. (Laughs).

Singer Alexia: “I don’t want to be presented as Tatyana Navka’s daughter”

Sasha Zhulina is a 16-year-old Moscow schoolgirl who is determined to become a singer. A girl performs under the stage name Alexia and demands to be called that way. She spoke about her first steps in the profession and not only in an interview with the HELLO.RU website.

Sasha is moving towards her goal slowly but persistently: she practices vocals, plays the piano, records songs, and recently, together with MBAND lead singer Nikita Kiosse, she shot her first video. In the very near future, when her peers are enjoying their summer holidays, Sasha will go to America - she entered the prestigious New York Film Academy, where for several weeks she will study acting and the art of musical theater. The ability to clearly set goals and achieve them is in Sasha’s blood: the daughter of renowned champions in figure skating Alexandra Zhulin and Tatiana Navka could not be different. However, Sasha does not want to take advantage of her parents’ fame, which explains the fact that she took a sonorous pseudonym for the stage - Alexia.

Sasha, many people think that in front of children famous parents all doors are open. Why do you think otherwise?

I don’t want them to announce before my performances: “Tatiana Navka’s daughter is on stage.” I want to go my own way, even if it means working three times as hard. I'm ready for this.

Why Alexia?

I like the name Alexandra, so I wanted to find a consonant pseudonym. Alexia - beautiful, in my opinion.

International name. Are you planning to work not only in Russia?

Not yet, I am determined to work in Russia. And it will be seen there.

You played sports professionally. How did it happen that you finally decided to connect your life with music?

I went in for sports from 6 to 15 years old, played tennis. It occupied most of my life, there were successes. At 12, I won the Russian championship in pairs among athletes in my age category, and took prizes in international competitions. In general, everything was serious. However, then I received an injury, due to which I missed six months of training. I didn’t play tennis at all, I went to see doctors. No one could make an accurate diagnosis, and the injury made itself felt constantly; my back hurt a lot. I had to give up my dreams of tennis. And then I remembered another hobby of mine - since childhood I loved to sing when no one was at home. But there was no time to do this seriously, since all my energy was spent on sports. A year ago I started studying vocals with a teacher, and I’m also taking piano lessons.

When did you decide that you wanted to sing not for yourself, but for the audience?

The idea to record a song arose when I was preparing a gift for mom's wedding. I performed “I Will Dance” for the first time there. There were no thoughts about the stage, I just wanted to please my mother. That's when my first happened public speaking. I didn’t think the song would get on the radio, but it did, and the question arose of what name to broadcast it under. Then the pseudonym Alexia and plans to build a career on stage appeared.

One of your first performances on a serious stage took place on June 12 on Red Square, at a festive concert in honor of Russia Day. How did the audience receive you?

Okay, people were smiling and dancing. I was very worried, but then I didn’t want to leave the stage - the audience gives such energy! I see different comments on social networks. There are more good, kind people when they praise their songs and voice. But there are also negative ones, which upset me at first. I was very worried, I thought - why can’t I do what I like? Am I really doomed to read unflattering reviews all my life and will always be treated with prejudice? But then it let go. I think that normal people They won’t waste time writing nasty things under the article. Fortunately, there are only a few such people.

The other day you starred in your debut video for the song “You Breathe with Me.” Tell us about how the filming went.

The concept of the video - romantic story, in which two young men are fighting for my heart - we came up with it together with my mother, producer Vladimir Nichiporuk and director Felix Mikhailov. We filmed until 7 am! But I really liked the process, I thought it would be more difficult. There were no thoughts of “I want to sleep”, “I want to eat”, on the contrary, I didn’t want to leave the site even late at night. My filming partners and I - MBAND lead singer Nikita Kiosse and model Roman Shlyakiss - ran around Muzeon, rode bicycles, it was fun. And at about 5 in the morning it began to rain, and we finished filming already at dawn, in the rain - it was such a beautiful scene... In general, now I’m really looking forward to the editing of the video being ready and I’ll finally see it.

Alexandra Zhulina was born on May 2, 2000 in New York, in the family of the famous Russian figure skater Tatyana Navka and figure skating coach Alexander Zhulin.

Thus, the incendiary composition by Zhulina, who took the stage name Alexia, ended up in radio rotation. With her hit, the girl managed to perform several times at various events, including a concert of the Russian Radio station on Red Square.
