Santa Dimopoulos is a Ukrainian model, world champion in fitness, Miss Ukraine Universe 2006, singer, participant in the Ukrainian project “Star Factory-3”, ex-soloist of the group.

Santa Yanisovna Dimopoulos was born in May 1987 in Kyiv. Ukrainian, Greek and Assyrian blood were mixed in her veins. Hence the exotic name and striking appearance. Father Yanis Dimopoulos and mother Lyudmila Ivanova divorced early, but dad continued to participate in raising the girl. In 2004, Santa experienced a personal loss - Yanis Dimopoulos died of cancer.

From an early age, the girl showed amazing flexibility and danced beautifully. In this regard, Santa began attending a choreographic school and managed to achieve the title of “Master of Sports” in this field.

Santa's ideal parameters and bright model appearance did not escape the attention of modeling agencies. Dimopoulos signed a contract with the capital's Karin agency. In 2006, a 19-year-old girl participated in the Miss Ukraine Universe project, where she took 3rd place.

In 2011, when Santa Dimopoulos turned 24, the girl managed to win the championship title in fitness and bodybuilding. This event took place in Bangkok, where the World Cup was held. The girl was awarded 1st place in the “Female Model Physique” category.

Glossy magazines gladly published Santa Dimopoulos's photo shoots. In 2014, by that time she had already become popular, the artist received an invitation from the publication MAXIM, for which she starred in a candid photo shoot and gave an extensive interview.

At the same time, Santa did not abandon education. In 2011, at the insistence of her mother, she received a diploma from Kyiv University and became a lawyer.

Music

In addition to excellent plasticity, the girl also had good vocal abilities. The first stage of Dimopoulos’s singing biography began with participation in a little-known Ukrainian group, which was called “Seventh Heaven”. With members of the musical group, Santa appeared in the videos for the hits “About Love” and “Stranger”. But soon Dimopoulos left the team.

The second step up was the popular TV project “Star Factory”. The Kiev resident appeared in the 3rd season of the Ukrainian show in 2009. Here, the bright performer was noticed by the acting producer of the project. The seriousness of the project was given by the presence of influential people on the jury - producer of Russian Radio in Ukraine Sergei Kuzin, choreographer Dmitry Kolyadenko, television producer Valentin Koval, producer of the New Channel.

Dimopoulos did not last long on the TV show and left long before the finale. Konstantin Meladze had to remember Santa in December 2011, when she left VIA Gra. The Kiev resident replaced the soloist who left the band. Together with Santa, another participant of “Star Factory-3”, a finalist of the competition, appeared in the team. As part of the trio, the girl went on tours and participated in photo shoots.

But already in October of the following year, Dimopoulos left VIA Gra. In its composition, she managed to sing only one hit called “Hello, Mom!” The director shot a video for this composition that will be remembered by many.

Another song that appeared in the singer’s repertoire during this period is the duet “I Don’t Know Why,” performed together with Vasily Bondarchuk. In 2012, Santa released a video for the hit “In Joy and Sorrow,” where footage appeared in which the singer appeared together with Vladimir Samsonenko.

Santa Dimopoulos announced plans to start a solo career. And indeed, in the spring of 2013, the artist presented her debut song, called “When We Move.” The recording of the next musical composition was not long in coming - soon the hit “Running Away” appeared. To date, the singer has recorded 4 singles.

It soon became known that the former VIA Gra participant was seriously thinking about an acting career. In addition to participating in the filming of commercials for UkrSibbank and the EnerGo drink of the Biola brand, the girl decided to receive specialized acting education. In 2014, Santa announced the successful completion of the New York Film Academy.

Santa Dimopoulos, while remaining a singer, actress, and model, manages to build a business career. In 2013, the girl tried herself as an organizer of the Gold Vintage brand boutique, which she opened together with her colleague Yulia Kovaleva.

In November 2016, the artist undertook a reboot of her singing career. Together with the ex-soloists of VIA Gra, the girl became a member of a new musical group organized by producer Sergei Kovalev.

The team received the loud name “Queens”. Soon, the girls’ first single, “Why,” was released, which immediately ended up in the concert program of the Golden Gramophone award ceremony of the year and in the rotation of leading radio channels in Ukraine and Russia. The group did not last long in this composition; already in April 2017, the girls were replaced by successors.

Personal life

It is not the career, but the personal life of Santa Dimopoulos that attracts much more attention. The beauty regularly “throws brushwood” into this unquenchable fire. The first husband of the dark-skinned singer was Ukrainian showman and TV presenter Andrei Dzhedzhula. This couple was considered one of the most beautiful in the country's show business. The couple had a son, Daniel, in October 2008. As the singer noted, she dreamed of a son with that name since childhood. But soon the marriage cracked. Santa and Andrey were at odds with scandals and mutual accusations, in which fans took one side or the other.

In the fall of 2012, it became known that Dimopoulos had arranged a personal life with Kyiv businessman Vladimir Samsonenko. There was a rumor that the wedding ceremony took place in a luxurious ancient castle in Italy. Photos from the wedding were looked at and commented on by everyone for a long time. But the very next year, Santa Dimopoulos surprised with a statement that the wedding with Samsonenko was not real.

The fall of 2015 again brought fresh news about Santa. As it turned out, the girl married a wealthy Kyiv businessman Igor Kucherenko, owner of a network of sports clubs and co-owner of a large construction company. Kucherenko is also spoken of as a gold miner.

The singer maintains her physical shape at the same level. With a height of 173 cm, Santa's weight does not exceed 52 kg, and his figure parameters (89-60-90) are as close as possible to ideal. But the desire to look better did not escape the beauty. Over time, Santa became interested in lip surgery, as can be seen from the photo from “ Instagram» singers. Now the girl regularly receives hyaluronic acid injections.

At the end of January 2018, Santa Dimopoulos was in Miami in the company of his children, as reported from her own Instagram page. The artists had already communicated before - in 2009, Philip Kirkorov, Santa Dimopoulos and Tatyana Vorzheva performed the hit “Just Give” at the Star Factory concert.

In addition to secondary school, the girl attended music (pop vocals) and dance (she studied professionally, received the title of Master of Sports) clubs. At school she actively participated in all events and loved the stage.

I never felt a particular craving for science and exact knowledge, but at the guidance of my parents I entered the Faculty of Law of the Kyiv National University and in 2011 received a diploma of higher education. But the work of a lawyer seemed incredibly boring to Santa, so soon after graduating from university she firmly decided to connect her life with the stage.

By the way, during her student years the girl made her debut on the podium; Moreover, in 2006 she took third place in the Miss Universe Ukraine beauty contest. And in 2011, she won a competition in Thailand and became the absolute world champion in bodybuilding and fitness.

The girl still maintains warm relations with former members of the team. Santa left the group of her own free will and doesn’t hold grudges against anyone: “Just at one moment, I realized that I was capable of more.”

Santa was a finalist on the show; largely thanks to a memorable demonstration of talent, in December 2011 she became one of the three members of the VIA Gra trio, taking the place of the “brunette of the group” Nadezhda Granovskaya.

With each day of working in the team together with Eva Bushmina and Albina Dzhanabaeva, with each concert, the girl felt more and more confident and less than a year later, at the beginning of October 2012, she left the group to devote herself entirely to a solo career. The singer's first single was the song "When We Move".
