Biography of Elena Yesenina

For the first time, she approached the piano at the age of 6. As soon as she was carried away by music, she left classes due to a tense study schedule. However, from that moment it was already sure that this was her calling, and she would conquer a large scene. At the age of 11, Yesenina, by ear, picked up the composition from her favorite children's film “Mary Poppins, goodbye!

Lena wrote her first blues composition by watching the gangster film “Once in Chicago” in the fifth grade. So the singer opened the talent of the composer. Lena’s mother immediately realized that her daughter had a great hearing, and hired her a tutor. The first performance by Lena took place on the stage of the club of the airborne school, at the New Year holiday.

Lena studied in the fifth grade and prepared for a long time before the performance, watching the performances of Western and domestic stars for hours.

Choosing a model for the imitation of Marilyn Monroe, the girl dressed up in an air dress and incendiary dancing like an American star, performed the song “Three White Horses” from the movie “Sorcerers”. The full hall of officers, among whom was Father Yesenina, awarded Lena with a flurry of applause and summoned to BIS. While still a schoolgirl, Lena enters the pop-jazz department of the Ryazan Music School.

After graduating from school with a gold medal, in the summer of the same year she receives a red diploma in the vocal class. In parallel, Yesenin’s studies participated in many competitions and everywhere occupied only the first places: “I will give you a romance”, “I love you, Russia”, “Beauty will save the world”, “Impulse”, “Songs of the house”, and according to the results of the Russian-French festival “Chanson”, the summer singer won a weekly trip to Paris.

In the year, Lena entered the music faculty of Moscow Pedagogical State University and graduated from a red diploma. For the first time, the public found out about Yesenina in September, after her victory at the international forum “Songs of the World”. This competition for young artists was held in Chisinau under the guidance of the famous pantileist composer Konstantin Moskovich, who recorded the track “Lone Shepherd” for the cult blockbuster Tarantino “Kill Bill” Kill Bill.

The jury of the competition unanimously preferred the then unknown singer, who conquered everyone with the touching performance of the song “Mom’s eyes” from the repertoire of Tamara Gverdtsiteli. To do this, in Russia, the artist had to withstand the competition among several tens of thousands of applicants. As a result, at the competition, Lena performed the song “Butterfly”, which she herself wrote, and the audience undoubtedly appealed to the audience.

In January, Lena signed a contract with the famous producer Joseph Prigozhin and is working on the recording of her first author’s album under the working name “The Sixth Self”, which will appear in November this year. The premiere of the single "Cherry" will take place on July 11th. And at the end of July, Lena will represent Russia at a song competition in Sweden. What are they discussing?
