[1] Faámelu was born and spent her childhood in the town of Chornomorske, Crimea, Ukraine, where she graduated from music school.

Zi, at the time student of Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, decided to participate.

She dyed her hair in a bright white colour, to match an image of "star warrior" and took the stage name "Boris April".

According to the results of the audience vote, at the end of the project, she received a special prize from the "Tele 7" magazine - "For the greatest sympathy of readers."

During her time at the project, she had numerous collaborative musical performances, with famous Eastern European pop-music acts, including Ukrainian singer Evgenia Vlasova, winner of 2004 Eurovision Song Contest Ruslana and Romanian europop band "Morandi".

[6] On April 11, 2010, based on the results of voting and evaluations of the jury, Zi Faámelu left the project.

[9] As a result of the protests, the organizers of the competition decided to organise an online vote for the return of one of the retired participants to the project, which Faámelu won.

Despite this, on April 25, show host Maria Efrosinina announced from the stage that Zi had disappeared and her location was unknown.
