website: Eva, what do you think caused the collapse of the VIA Gra group?

Eva Bushmina: The decisive role, in my opinion, was played by Kostya's fatigue from constant rotations in the group. Be that as it may, he is a creative person and creates songs for a particular artist, and not for the group as a whole.

website: How long ago did you realize that the musical group no longer had a future?

Eva Bushmina: VIA Gra has always been on the list of the most successful groups in Russian and Ukrainian show business, so it is incorrect to say that the team had no future. The point is different. Konstantin has been involved in VIA Groy for 13 years, Albina joined the group eight years ago, and I three years ago. For each of us, this time has become decisive. We wanted change, something new. For Konstantin Meladze, “this new” was complete, and for Albina and me, solo projects.

website: In one of the interviews, you talked about the fact that you never found a common language with another member of the group -. Could you please tell us more about your conflict?

Eva Bushmina: We never had serious conflicts. There were disagreements, but only on work issues. It is normal when a person has his own point of view, and he expresses it. As they say, truth is born in a dispute. To be honest, Santa and I did not become close friends. We probably didn't work together that long and we just didn't have time to get to know each other better.

website: Are you allowed to perform the songs of "VIA Gra" after the termination of the group's activities?

Eva Bushmina: Now my thoughts and efforts are focused on creating a solo project, my own songs. Perhaps, over time, I will return to this issue, but already as an accomplished performer.

website: Having come to VIA Gro, you have become a new blonde beauty, replacing you in this post. Is this your natural hair color?

Eva Bushmina: Yes, this is my natural color. Once I dyed my hair brunette and really regretted it, I was waiting for the return of my natural shade. Now I'm getting old not to torment my hair much, even with care products. I do only complex procedures for hair protection.

website: You are friends with the singer Nastya Kamensky, don't you want to turn the Potap and Nastya duet into a trio?

Eva Bushmina: I am now fully immersed in work on a solo project and plan to release it to the general public early next year. Someday, with Nastya, maybe we will write a joint song, but only in the form of a creative experiment.

website: Are you going to continue performing in the “VIA Gra style”, that is, relying not only on similar songs, but also on a sexy image?

Eva Bushmina: I can assure you that I will move away from the image of VIA Gra, but let me keep the details a secret.

website: Who is your favorite singer? Would you like to be like one of the celebrities?

Eva Bushmina: It is difficult to name a single performer when there are so many talented singers in the world. I am very inspired by Rachel Ferrell, a real genius in the world of music. But I wouldn't want to be like her or anyone else. Our mission is to be unique.

website: In what other areas of activity would you like to prove yourself? Now many celebrities are applying, for example, to designers ...

Eva Bushmina: I'm doing my best to succeed as a solo artist, and I don't want to be wasted on other activities. Perhaps time will pass, and I will want to try myself in another incarnation.

website: You a few months ago , congratulations ! Please tell us about your chosen one.

Eva Bushmina: Unfortunately, I do not comment on my personal life. It's personal, isn't it?

website: Some ex-soloists of VIA Gra, for example, Olga Koryagina, decided to leave the group in order to devote themselves entirely to the family. Have you thought about something like this?

Eva Bushmina: I am thinking about successfully balancing these aspects of my life, and I do not intend to put work and personal life on different scales.

website: What do you think is the ideal age for motherhood?

Eva Bushmina: It's hard for me to judge this. I have friends who gave birth in their 20s and 40s. Looking at them, I understand that age does not matter. It is only important state of mind.

website: When do you want to have children?

Eva Bushmina: Everything has its time.

At the age of 29, Eva managed to participate in the “Star Factory”, enter one of the most burning women's groups and go on a solo career. Few people remember her under her real name - Yana Shvets. His star changed when she came from the Luhansk region to conquer Kyiv.
