Pletneva, Anna Yurievna

In 1995 she graduated from Moscow school No. 1113 with an in-depth study of music and choreography . While studying at school, the singer danced in the children's ballet Ostankino ^[1] . Anna received her musical education at the State Aviation Theater named after Maimonides ”, specializing in pop-jazz singing (class of associate professor M. L. Korobkova), later Anna became a teacher at the“ Maimonides State Classical Academy ” ^[2] . She joined the Lyceum group in 1997 after the dismissal of Lena Perova ^[1] .

She was a permanent member of the team for 8 years and gradually came to the conclusion that she was ripe for a solo career. After leaving the Lyceum group, Anna Pletneva created the musical project “Coffee with Rain” ^[1] , in which she acted as a singer and producer ^[3] . A video was shot for the debut song “Nine and a Half Weeks”, the music of which was written by Alexey Romanof and Yuri Usachev , and the words Alexey Romanof and Ekaterina Rakova. A year later, the project was closed ^[1] .

On August 21, 2016, the singer presented her first solo single “Strong Girl”, thereby announcing her formal departure from the group (together with Alexei):

I am not going to make high-profile statements about the beginning of a solo career. Not at all. The reason is different. For 10 years, "Vintage" remained the most popular youth group performing fashionable dance music. The club performance format requires a repertoire of only number one hits. I do not want to limit myself to this framework. Our albums have always had many wonderful lyric songs that remained outside the radio. We came to the line beyond which we no longer need extra tinsel and paraphernalia. Behind the walls of nightclubs and trendy restaurants, where most of the concerts of Vintage take place, there are still a lot of spectators who do not come to these establishments due to age and many other reasons. I want us to have the opportunity to meet in concert halls, see each of them and perform those songs that will tell more about me than all the famous super hits ^[10]
