He wanted them to be like a Ukrainian version of the Spice Girls. However, a big financial crisis happened in 2007-2008. Because of this, the project was stopped. Glam recorded one song, "Thirsty," but it was never officially released.
After her dream in America ended, Nadiya started her own solo music project. She called it Markiza. Her style was similar to pop-rock singer Avril Lavigne. In 2008, she released a solo album under this name.
