By nature, she had excellent plasticity and grace, which allowed her parents to believe that Lera could have a good choreographic career in the future. True, she herself wanted to sing and dreamed of the stage.

After graduating from school, she became a student at the Moscow Institute of Culture. She entered to study to become a producer.

The team was rapidly gaining momentum. The girls quickly became popular, as did Lera, whom many music lovers began to talk about.

That same year, the girls signed a contract with a famous label, and after a while they managed to perform at the largest domestic festivals, adequately presenting their talent. In fact, Kozlova’s fame fell even more when the series “Kadetstvo” burst into the television space.

The girls wrote some songs for the project, which immediately became hits. As a result, the producers decided to bet on “Ranetok” and filmed a new series with their participation and the same name. It was received warmly by the public, and even more people learned about the group.

In 2007, the girls released an album. It was called “Ranetki”, thanks to this their army of fans became even larger. Only a year later Lera announced that she was leaving the group to start a solo career.

The singer gave her first concert in 2009. It took place in Samara. Its name sounded like “LeRa”. At the same time, she appeared in the video of the group “Quest Pistols”, and also took on a new creative name “Lera Lera”.

Valeria Kozlova is a popular pop singer who became famous after performing as part of the Ranetki project. She worked in this group for a long time as a drummer and vocalist. That is why today the name of this extraordinary girl is most often associated with this particular group. However, in recent years, our today's heroine has successfully proven to everyone that she can be interesting to viewers as a solo performer.

The name “Lera Lera” is increasingly found in various charts, and her concerts are invariably a huge success. In such a situation, it is simply impossible not to pay attention to this bright and talented girl. That is why in our article today we decided to talk about it. How did her fate develop? What kind of person was Lera Lera even before she got into the famous Ranetki project? What secrets does her personal life hide? More on all this below.

The early years of Valeria Kozlova: “Ranetki”

Valeria Sergeevna Kozlova was born in Moscow on January 22, 1988. She never went to a music school, and no private teachers or vocal teachers worked with her. However, music and creativity have always been an important part of her life. She studied on her own and then improved her skills in the children's ensemble "Pinocchio". She has performed with this group since childhood. Over the years, she managed to learn to sing, play the drums, and also dance a wide variety of dances quite well. Currently, she can masterfully perform many folk and modern dances. Moreover, she handles pointe shoes well and can easily perform several ballet steps.

As noted in some sources, it was for this reason that for a long time all of Lera’s acquaintances believed that she should definitely connect her life with dancing. The teachers predicted a great future for her. However, the girl herself had completely different plans for this. She chose music and, confidently settling down behind a drum set, began to make her way into the world of Russian show business.

Valeria Kozlova entered the Moscow State Institute of Culture (specialty “Producing”), and already in August 2005, together with four of her friends, she decided to organize her own rock band. The project was called “Ranetki” and very soon became very popular in the CIS. It is very noteworthy that at the very beginning there was one more member in the group - a soloist. However, a few months after the formation of the group, the girl left Russia, and therefore the functions of the vocalist were transferred to our today’s heroine. And it brought success! The presence of a girl combining the functions of a drummer and vocalist became a distinctive feature of the young group - its main “trick”. At least, it was this fact that attracted the attention of the producers of the Megaliner label, who in 2005 signed a full-fledged contract with the group and began promoting it.

The young team of “Ranetka” first loudly announced itself in 2006. During this period, the girls-band performed at many of the largest Russian festivals - Emaus, Megahouse and some others. A year later, the success story repeated itself again. It is very noteworthy that during this period the girls established good relationships with representatives of other well-known Russian groups - “Korni”, “GDR”, “City 312”. Lera Kozlova herself even took part in the recording of the album of the punk group “Cockroaches”, and also performed backing vocals for the new album of the group “UmaTurman” with the brothers Vladimir Sergei Kristovsky.

Ranetki and Ex-Ranetka-Lera.. LeRa reveals the truth

All these successes became an important milestone in the work of the Ranetki group and Lera Kozlova herself. However, the group’s real success came from working on the TV series “Kadetstvo”. Having recorded several bright hits for this project, the girls immediately topped many Russian music charts. During this period, all of Russia started talking about the Ranetki group.

The popularity of the named group became even higher when the series of the same name “Ranetki” was released, in which Anya Rudneva, Natalya Shchelkova, Elena Tretyakova, Evgenia Ogurtsova and others played. As part of this project, viewers were told the story of talented schoolgirls who are united by a common love for music. In some ways, this story was biographical in nature. And therefore it was always perceived by the audience with a bang.

Solo career of Valeria Kozlova

Despite the success of the first studio album, as well as the unprecedented excitement around the Ranetki group, in 2008 Lera Kozlova decided to leave this group. As noted, the reason for this decision was a conflict with the group’s producer. However, we will leave this story behind the scenes.

Some time later, the girl also appeared in the video of the Quest Pistols group, and also signed a lucrative contract with the KRUZHEVA Music label. During this period, she began to appear on stage for the first time under the name “Lera Lera” (before that, the performer’s solo project was called “LeRa”).

Under a new name and with a new producer, the girl began working on further creativity. At the end of the 2000s, Lera Kozlova recorded several new compositions. In 2010, three videos of the performer were released on the screens of Russian music channels. These works brought her success, and with it her first awards. In 2010, Lera Kozlova was recognized as singer of the year according to the RU.TV channel, and a year later she received a Bravo gold statuette in a similar nomination.

During this period, one of the most popular new products in music stores was Lera Kozlova’s debut “solo album” - the album “Give me a sign”. In addition, in 2011, the project “Summer, swimming trunks, rock and roll” was released, in which our today’s heroine played one of the main roles.

Personal life of Valeria Kozlova

For a long time, the singer hid the truth about her romances and hobbies. The audience was tormented in ignorance, but already in 2009 it became known that Lera Kozlova was dating a musician from the Ukrainian group Quest Pistols, Nikita Goryuk. Time will tell how their relationship will develop.

• In 2006, the group was at the peak of its popularity; they participated in many festivals, such as Emmaus 2006, Megahouse 2006. They had friendly relations with many popular groups.
• In 2008, a series about the musical group “Ranetki” was released, where the girls played the main roles.

The soloist of the group 5staFamily Lera Kozlova shared with the site her creative plans, thoughts about her solo career and told whether Ranetki fans can hope for the group’s triumphant return.

I had no intention of leaving the 5staFamily group, but I feel that everything is heading towards this. I think the guys are preparing a new soloist, and I’ll just make room for her. I need to move forward because something new is waiting for me. You need to be able to joyfully accept all losses and gains. This is happiness.

It’s still difficult to talk about a solo career. If I return, I will be older, more tender and feminine - that’s exactly how I feel now. I’m almost 30 years old, and it’s no longer polite to jerk like a crazy punk rocker and shake my head.

Now I am actively involved in DJing. The teacher praises me and says that I am a very capable student and that I quickly grasp everything. I'm not going to stop. I hope that I will soon reach the level where I can perform. I love music very much and will be able to choose it myself. I am grateful to Uppercuts Djs Academy for the opportunity to study with them.

Now, more than ever, I am actively engaged in self-development. When I'm in a relationship, for some reason I get caught up in it. And if something goes wrong, then I can’t think of anything else, everything falls out of my hands. It’s good that at least the desire to live does not disappear. But when I’m free and nothing worries me, I’m completely ready to work and committed to self-development. I'm going through just such a period right now.

I love to dance. I study with my friends from Mariam, she is an excellent dancer. I also go for stretching - all this is very important for the beauty and health of the body. And if you are healthy, you are happy.

There are plans to open my own showroom. Nowadays there are so many showrooms - your eyes run wild, but you still can’t find exactly that blouse or exactly those jeans, and you run around for several days. This is how the idea of ​​a showroom was born, where there will be exactly those blouses and exactly those jeans, and also clothes for all occasions. Let's start with the online store.

The most important goal is a happy family and children. I want to find my friend, whom I can rely on, reliable, faithful, honest, cheerful and loved. But while I get back on my feet, I will be a completely independent strong woman.

Our devoted friends who grew up watching the TV series "Ranetki" often write to us.. They ask to be reminded of themselves or to say goodbye beautifully. They are interested in where we are, what is happening to us, how we have changed. They don't have enough photos on Instagram. And as a sign of gratitude, the girls and I decided to start our own channel on YouTube, which will be called “Apricots”. There we will share our personal life.

If we return, it will not be a return in the full sense of the word.- just a couple of big concerts in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Krasnodar. Just not the entire cast. The girls are already minding their own business, all with children. But I am pursuing higher goals.

In 2008, the first episode of the youth series “Ranetki” was released on the STS TV channel, produced by Vyacheslav Murugov, famous for the series “Kadetstvo”. The new Russian-made product is a reflection of the history of the formation and development of the popular musical girl group “Ranetki”. One of the main roles in this series is played by Lera Kozlova. Both in the film and in life, she is the lead singer and drummer of the group. True, at the moment the girl is pursuing a solo career. Her collaboration with the group ended, to put it mildly, not entirely successfully. How did a talented singer become part of a popular group? What caused her to leave the group? This article will tell you about this and much more.

Childhood and dancing

On January twenty-second, 1988, Lera Kozlova was born in Moscow. The biography of a little girl has its origins in a family where none of the members has anything to do with art. However, from childhood, the baby showed remarkable creative abilities. She never attended music school. But this in no way stopped Valeria from demonstrating her outstanding singing and dancing skills at all home events. Parents decide to send their daughter to some club. By chance, Lera Kozlova passes the selection and becomes part of the once popular ensemble “Pinocchio”. Thanks to the team and the leader of this creative association, the girl learned to dance well and even play the drums.

Many predicted a career in ballet for Lera. However, the girl chose the musical direction. Sergei Milnichenko had a huge influence on this decision. It was he who persuaded the girl to become a soloist of the Ranetki group, popular among teenagers.

The formation of a girl band

Natalya Shchelkova and Evgenia Ogurtsova (also members of the group) have been close friends since childhood. The first confidently and talentedly plays the guitar, the second plays the keyboard. Zhenya’s father and Sergei Milnichenko have been friends for a very long time. Looking at the girls rehearsing, the producer comes up with the idea of ​​​​creating a daring girl group. He places an ad in newspapers and the Internet. Thanks to the World Wide Web, the group finds a bassist, Lena Tretyakova. Lera Kozlova joins the team in place of former soloist Alina Petrova. She went abroad and was unable to continue cooperation with the group.

The path to Ranetki

Sergei Milnichenko saw Lera at one of the performances of the Buratino ensemble, where teenagers performed the “March of the Drummers”. The producer invited the girl to try her musical abilities. At the casting, Lera Kozlova sat behind the drum kit for the first time. Having repeated several simple rhythms after Milnichenko and sung a couple of excerpts, the girl was confirmed as the lead singer of the group. This is how Valeria’s career began as one of the “Ranetkas”. This was in 2005.

Rise in popularity

The participating girls quickly became friends with each other. The first successes overtook the girl band in 2006. It was then that Lera Kozlova, Anya Ogurtsova and Lena Tretyakova performed at several major Russian festivals: Megahouse, Emaus and others. The following year the successful performance was repeated. At the same time, the Ranetki group is already collaborating with such famous groups as Korni, Gorod-312 and GDR.

At the same time, Lera Kozlova took part in the recording of the album of a then popular punk band called “Cockroaches”. She also excellently performs some parts on backing vocals for the famous group of the Kristovsky brothers “UmaTurman”.

TV series "Ranetki"

In 2007, the STS TV channel invited the girl band “Ranetki” to record soundtracks for the TV series “Kadetstvo”. The producer liked the cheerful and interesting girls so much that he decided to make a film about them too. After some time, the girls are given the first pages of the text. The series called “Ranetki” brings great fame to young talented musicians. The television product became very popular: many teenagers were truly passionate about watching the film, which vividly and interestingly described the events of the creation and development of a popular group. This series gave Valeria the “Discovery of the Year” award at the prestigious Ukrainian TV Star Award.

Leaving the group

As part of the musical group, Lera Kozlova performed many songs. Among them, the most popular are “We are Ranetki”, “About you”, “Winter-winter”, “It’s all about her”, “She is alone”, “He will return” and others. Before the concert in Luzhniki, the girl accidentally finds out that they are going to “ask” her to leave the group. The reason for this was her “cooled down” romantic relationship with producer Sergei Milnichenko. Although many believed that the end of the long life together of the group’s lead singer and leader would be a wedding. Lera Kozlova, however, no longer touched Sergei Milnichenko. In 2008, the brightest “Ranetka” left the group.

Solo career

Exactly a year later, Lera Kozlova’s failed husband married Natalya Shchelkova, who had been playing lead guitar in a musical group since 2005. In the same year, the first solo concert of the former soloist of the Ranetki group took place in Samara. Thus began a new round of Valeria’s life. She starred in the video “He’s Near” by the Ukrainian group Quest Pistols. Soon the producer of this male group invited Lera to sign a contract. The girl happily agreed. And after some time she begins to perform under the pseudonym LeRa LeRa.

With the new producer, the performer received a “second wind.” Already in 2010, two clips of the singer appeared on TV screens at once: “Unpleasant” and “She-Wolf”. The stunning success of Lera’s work resulted in increased love from the public and awards at prestigious festivals. From the RU.TV channel the girl received a prize in the “Singer of the Year” nomination. And exactly a year later, Lera was given a similar gift at the Bravo festival. At the same time, the bright blonde’s first solo album, entitled “Give Me a Sign,” was released.

Acting and dubbing films

In addition to music, the girl has established herself as a talented actress. Her role in the series “Ranetki” did not go unnoticed. Then Lera was invited to participate in the project “Summer, swimming trunks, rock and roll”, where she played one of the main roles. Don't forget about the successful work with the fantastic Luc Besson. The impressive Frenchman, listening to the voices of actresses who auditioned to dub Princess Selenia from the cartoon “Arthur,” immediately fell in love with the voice of the ex-Ranetka. He speaks with delight about the fragile and sensual girl, hoping to continue collaborating with her in a feature-length and non-animated film.

The intimate side of the coin

The personal life of show business stars is always interesting to others. Lera Kozlova was no exception. Did she give birth to a child? Is the ex-Ranetka married? Who is the chosen one of the talented singer? All these and many other questions plague both journalists and fans of the girl’s work.

After a painful departure from the group, Nikita Goryuk (musician of Quest Pistols) provided the girl with great support. It was he who helped me cope with stress and believe in myself. After some time, the girl realized that she had fallen in love with her friend. Having surrounded Nikita with care and attention, she gradually achieved reciprocity. Rumors that the girl is allegedly pregnant and Lera Kozlova’s child will bear the last name Goryuk have not been confirmed. Time will tell whether the union of two hearts will be long-lasting and lasting. The couple has no plans for now.
