Sevara Knushevitsky biography

For the Kamyzyaks, Nastya is not a "new" star, many know and love her in the Kamyzyak district. He has been fond of music from childhood, graduated from the Musorgsky music school in the class of drums, and then entered the Astrakhan Conservatory for the pop-jazz department. She was a soloist of the Kamyzyak district house of culture, performed at the district holidays.

Today works as a soloist at the Arkady Palace of Culture and in the Astrakhan Philharmonic. At the qualifying auditions, Nastya spoke very confidently, conquered the jury's hearts as part of the venerable composer Maxim Dunaevsky, the popular TV presenter Yuri Nikolaev, the stars of the Russian stage of Zara and Yulia Savicheva and the musical producer of the Road Radio Roman Emelyanov, having received the highest assessment - points.

There was no semi-finals because of the coronavirus, all the participants who took place immediately got into the final, which took place in June. The artist shared his impressions from participating in the competition. But a project of such a scale in my life is the first. Everything was very interesting - new knowledge, impressions and emotions. Thanks to the competition, it was possible to open up from the new side, get invaluable experience, gain new acquaintances, self -realize.

I wanted to hear an assessment, praise or even criticism, advice where to move. I am very grateful to the fate that I was such a chance. I presented ten works to the jury, from which one thing was selected - the song "We were taught to be birds" Olga Kormukhina. And, as it seems to me, she sounded very advantageous. In the final, the participants sang completely new songs written by famous authors specifically for the competition, or their own compositions created with the support of the producers of the New Star.

The composition "Prayer of the rain", which I fulfilled, was written by the teacher in vocals of the project Sevara Knushevitskaya, a back vocalist and sound operator Alexander Azarenov and producer Daria Pimanova. Whoever has something to compare with is noted that the "new star" differs from other projects by the atmosphere of good -naturedness. The organizers completely take on all expenses - from travel to living and food, the highest level.

We felt like children in a pioneer camp ... lived in a hotel. In two weeks we all became friends. We had practically no free time, every minute we did something-someone rehearsed songs, someone honed plasticity with a choreographer, and engaged in diction. Curators worked with us, who did a lot for us. I had a chance to see a lot of stars. It was not possible to chat because of the pandemic with everyone.

Irina Dubtsova "sailed" by "sailed". Vladimir Presnyakov was very pleasant in communication. It is not for nothing that the singer Zare is said that she is the light of the project, such kindness comes from her, she has one of her eyes on the stage. I probably did not fall in love with Roman Emelyanov, even at the selection we somehow did not find understanding. The scenic image for participants was mainly invented by stylists, but for my first performance I myself selected the image.

Many contestants had a cool, powerful support on stage, I honestly did not know that it was possible. A whole show unfolded on stage. But nothing, next time I will be ready to smile. Of course, I always felt the support of my relatives, friends, acquaintances, who were ill for me. He worried, followed the broadcasts and came to the final Nikita, my husband, which became a huge pleasant surprise for me.

Unfortunately, I was not able to enter the number of winners of the competition following the results of the audience vote and sing in the final of the contest with a duet with a star in the qualifying round. The Astrakhan region did not show special activity in voting, it was possible to gain a foothold only on the sixth stage of the rating. But even these six percent mean a lot to me.

Thanks to everyone who cast a voice for me, thanks to their beloved Kamyzyak and fellow countrymen who supported the vote. Special thanks to the Astrakhan Philharmonic, the Ministry of Culture of the Astrakhan Region. I am in a very warm relationship with the winner of the New Star Vasilina Ivanova, keep in touch. Our communication began with her even during the All -Russian Youth contest "Tauris".

I am very glad that she won, this girl is really worthy. Will you try to participate in television projects? I thought about the fact that it is very important for the artist to have his own author’s material, to constantly develop it, to replenish it. To overcome the songs of already famous performers, to give them a new life, the new air, of course, is good, but it is precisely copyright songs that help the artist reveal his soul, convey his feelings.

I noticed this for the guys who performed the works of their own composition at the competition. I’m not a wizard yet, I just study ... I try and I hope that I will succeed.

Will I still participate in television projects? Perhaps, but I repeat, first you need to analyze everything, take into account all the misses and take up your development, so as not to go to the competition with what the audience has already seen, but to show something new, to surprise. For a vocalist, a correctly selected repertoire is very important.We hope to see and hear you on television more than once.

The main prize of the competition is a large amount of money for professional promotion. In the year, the Astrakhan region at the competition was represented by a young participant in the KVN team "The Kamyzyaksky Territory" Vyacheslav Makarov, but he failed to go to the final. Anastasia Tolokonnikova is the first of the Astrakhan, who received the highest assessment from the jury - points and became a finalist.
