Her Music Journey

Starting Out: Star Factory and Early Songs (2003–2006)

Elena began learning music when she was just five years old. She played the violin and sang in a choir. She first became known to the public in 2003. This was when she appeared on the TV talent show Star Factory on Channel One.

During the show, Maxim Fadeev, a well-known music producer, noticed her talent. He signed her to his music company, Monolit Records. Elena released two dance songs, "Begi" and "Taina." However, she didn't continue as a solo artist right away. Instead, she joined a new girl group called Serebro. Maxim Fadeev formed this group. In an interview, Elena shared that Fadeev offered her a spot as a lead singer. She decided to join and helped find the other two members, Olga Seryabkina and Marina Lizorkina.

Becoming Famous with Serebro (2007–2014)

The group Serebro, with Elena, Olga Seryabkina, and Marina Lizorkina, represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. They performed the song "Song #1" and earned an amazing 3rd place! They were only behind Serbia and Ukraine.

After their success at Eurovision, Serebro quickly became one of the most popular music groups in Russia. Following "Song #1," they released other hit songs like "Дыши" and "Опиум." Their first album, Opiumroz, was released on April 25, 2009. The group even presented it at a concert in the famous Bolshoi Theatre. Serebro later released their second album, "Mama Lover."

On May 15, 2014, Elena left the group. This was because she was expecting a baby. She was replaced by another singer, Karpova, for a short time.
