Yulia Savicheva

Frequent visitors to her parents' home included several Russian songwriters and music producers.

Yulia's father, Stanislav Borisovich Savichev (born 1967, an avid piano player) would regularly compose songs for his daughter to sing; this would subsequently prove to be the beginning of Yulia's career as a singer.

Savicheva's first onstage experience as a singer occurred at the age of four, with the group Agatha Christie.

Her creative potential led to an invitation from L. Azadanova, offering Yulia a place in her dance group, which she took up.

The producer of the project, Maxim Fadeev, had already crossed Yulia's path once before when she had worked as back-vocalist on Russian artist Linda's album, Vorona (Crow) in 1996.

Despite this, however, her songs went on to become hits, including "Korabli" (Ships), "Vysoko" (High) and "Prosti za lyubov'" (Sorry for Loving You); and Yulia later came back to host the show.

In August 2005, Savicheva wrote the song, "Esli v serdtse zhivyot lyubov" (If Love Lives in Your Heart), which became the theme for the TV series Not born beautiful on STS.
