Congratulations also to other birthday stars born from April 1 to April 15!

site: Eva, what do you think was the reason for the collapse of the VIA Gra group?

Eva Bushmina: The decisive role, in my opinion, was played by Kostya's fatigue from constant rotations in the group. Anyway, he is a creative person and creates songs for a specific artist, not the group as a whole.

site: How long ago did you realize that the musical group no longer has a future?

Eva Bushmina: "VIA Gra" has always been on the list of the most successful groups of Russian and ukrainian show business, therefore, it is incorrect to say that the team had no future. The point is different. Konstantin has been studying VIA Groi for 13 years, Albina joined the group eight years ago, and I - for three years. For each of us, this time was decisive. We wanted change, something new. For Konstantin Meladze "this new" has become complete, and for me and Albina - solo projects.

site: In an interview, you talked about what you never found common language with another member of the group -. Please tell us in more detail what was your conflict?

Eva Bushmina: We have never had serious conflicts. There were disagreements, but only on work issues. It is normal when a person has his own point of view, and he expresses it. As they say, the truth is born in a dispute. To be honest, Santa and I did not become close friends. Probably, we did not work together for so long, and we simply did not have time to get to know each other better.

site: Are you allowed to perform the songs of "VIA Gra" after the termination of the collective's activities?

Eva Bushmina: Now my thoughts and efforts are directed towards creating a solo project, my own songs. Perhaps, over time, I will return to this question, but already as an accomplished performer.

site: Having come to VIA Gro, you have become a new blonde beauty, having replaced in this position. Is this your natural hair color?

Eva Bushmina: Yes, this is my natural color. Once I changed my color to a brunette and very much regretted it, I was waiting for the return of my natural shade. Now I'm getting old not to torment my hair too much, even with care products. I do only complex hair protection procedures.

site: You are friends with the singer Nastya Kamenskikh, do you want to turn the Potap and Nastya duet into a trio?

Eva Bushmina: I am now completely immersed in the work on a solo project and plan to present it to the general public early next year. With Nastya, we may someday record a joint song, but only as a creative experiment.

site: Are you going to continue performing in the "VIA Gra style", that is, relying not only on similar songs, but also on a sexy image?

Eva Bushmina: I can assure you that I will move away from the image of VIA Gra, but let me leave the details a secret.

site: Who is your favorite singer? Would you like to be like a celebrity?

Eva Bushmina: It is difficult to name a single performer when there are so many talented singers in the world. I am very inspired by Rachel Ferrell - the real genius of the world of music. But I would not want to become like her or anyone else. The essence of our profession is precisely to be unique.

site: In what other areas of activity would you like to prove yourself? Now many celebrities apply, for example, to designers ...

Eva Bushmina: I am doing my best to succeed as a solo performer, and I do not want to be sprayed with other activities. Maybe, time will pass, and I want to try myself in a different incarnation.

site: Congratulations a few months ago! Please tell us about your chosen one.

Eva Bushmina: Unfortunately, I do not comment on my personal life. It's personal, isn't it ?!

site: Some ex-soloists of "VIA Gra", for example, Olga Koryagina, decided to leave the group in order to devote themselves entirely to the family. Have you ever thought about that?

Eva Bushmina: I am thinking about how to successfully combine these aspects of my life, and do not intend to put work and personal life on different scales.

site: Do you think there is an ideal age for motherhood?

Eva Bushmina: It's hard for me to judge this. I have friends who gave birth at both 20 and 40 years old. Looking at them, I understand that age does not matter. Only the state of mind is important.

site: When do you want to have children?

Eva Bushmina: Everything has its time.

Period 2010-2012, since 2016 he has been working under the pseudonym LAYAH.

In 2012, the girl temporarily left the team, deciding to participate in the "Star Factory: Russia - Ukraine" project. Since VIA Gro had left Santa Dimopulos by this time, Eva Bushmina still remained in the team, which has now turned into a duet. But at the end of the year it was already clear that the project would cease to exist. Konstantin Meladze's message became the main news of this period in the field of show business.

In the same 2012, Eva Bushmina announced that she was ready for solo career... The following year, the singer's debut hit "Soboi" appeared. Soon a video was shot for the song. The single premiered in March 2013. And in July, the singer's fans received a new present: the song "Summer for Rent".
