Bagaudinova Meseda Abdullarisovna was born on October 30, 1983 in the city of Grozny. In the family, she is the fifth child. When Meseda turned 16, she and her family moved to the city of Rostov-on-Don, where she entered the pop and jazz department of the School of Arts. During this period of her life, the girl auditions for the “Dreams” ensemble, consisting of the most gifted girls of the school.
Group "Dreams"
This is an international team, which, in addition to Meseda’s avarka, included Turkish Marina Abdullaeva and Georgian Maya Abesadze. The first major public performance of the jazz ensemble took place at the beginning of 2002, when the girls were invited to a celebration at the Rostov Municipal Department of Internal Affairs. And it was from this performance that the real fame of the “Dreams” group began. They began to be invited to literally all holidays. The group toured the south of Russia more than once, and also performed abroad in Austria. It was during this period of her life that Meseda met the future Miss Russia and lead singer of the Via Gra group Tatyana Kotova - they were neighbors on the landing. In 2005, they went to study in Moscow: Meseda to become an artist, Marina to become a producer, and Maya to become a journalist.
VIA Gra
In the summer of 2005, Meseda entered the variety department of GITIS and devoted herself entirely to her studies. Continuing to follow her dream of the stage, the then fair-haired beauty Meseda decided to try her hand at the “People's Artist” show, but, unfortunately, did not pass the casting. Tigran Keosayan, one of the jury members, jokingly advised her to try out for VIA Gro. One way or another, the joke turned out to be prophetic.
Mesedu was brought into the group by chance. Her sister read on the Internet that a vacancy had appeared at VIA Gre due to the pregnancy of the “dark” soloist Olga Koryagina. It was her sister who advised Meseda to send her resume and other materials to the producers of the group, Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyuk. The girl followed her advice, sending her photographs and the song she sang during the exam at GITIS from the soundtrack to the film “The Barber of Siberia.” After this, Meseda was invited by the producers of VIA Gra to Kyiv for a video test. Having arrived in the capital of Ukraine on April 1 and doing video tests, she was able to communicate live with the producers of the most famous female group in the entire post-Soviet space. That same evening Meseda was accepted into the group. According to the girl, she was sure that she would go to VIA Gro even when she was traveling to Kyiv. Meseda took her rightful place in the group, surprising all fans and lovers of “VIA Gra” with her ability to stay on stage, plasticity and a strong voice.
Meseda's first public performance as a member of the VIA Gra group took place at the Fifth Annual National Popular Music Awards (Muz-TV Award). And the first video work of the group with the participation of Meseda was the video for the song “Kisses”, which instantly took first place in all kinds of charts and charts in the country.
As part of the VIA Gra group, Meseda managed to star in four videos: “Kisses”, “I’m not afraid”, “My emancipation”, “American Wife”. But in January 2009, Meseda left the team because... Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to the group. Meseda commented on her departure as follows: “At one time, I took Nadya’s place,” Meseda told Komsomolskaya Pravda. - There was always a blonde, a brown-haired girl and a brunette in the group. Nadya and I are brunettes, so we can’t be in a group together. Nadya, of course, brought a lot to the group at the very beginning of VIA Gra’s existence, this should be respected. I don't regret it at all. Everything is fine in my life and in my work, I will do a solo project.”
Back in November last year, at a concert of the renewed lineup of the VIA Gra group, we watched two hot brunettes dashingly dancing in the hall to familiar hits. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be ex-soloists of Konstantin Meladze’s band Olga Koryagina and Meseda Bagaudinova. We found out the last one with difficulty. a stark contrast to her previous image as a long-haired brunette. Since then, Meseda's hairstyle has become more voluminous. And there have been changes in her creative life.
“I was in a state of creative pause for 6 years. I really missed my audience and applause. It was a forced silence, I was married, gave birth to a son, breastfed him for a whole year and was constantly looking for myself..
At the presentation of her debut solo video “Crossing,” Meseda bathed in compliments from colleagues and spectators and caught every flash of photographers. The slimmer Bagaudinova was very happy with all the trappings of show business. It was clear how much she missed being on stage. The ex-soloist of VIA Gra made attempts to go on a solo voyage for several years, but the matter was limited to individual performances: either at the 10th anniversary of her former team, or at the show “I want to join VIA Gra.” As Meseda told us, her husband, restaurateur Alan, whose last name the girl does not give, was against her relationship with show business. A man with a cool Caucasian disposition fully provided for his wife, and in return demanded to devote himself exclusively to his home and son. Meseda endured for a long time, and at the end of last year she decided to file for divorce, the procedure for which has not yet been completed.
“I didn’t want to tell anyone this yet, but I’m getting a divorce and starting a new life. My husband was categorically against my creative activity, which really bothered me. By the way, I cut off my hair to say goodbye to this unpleasant past. But I have a son. He lives with me, everything is fine. We have many helpers: grandparents. If his mother goes on tour, then there is always someone to look after him,” the singer told us.
Touring for Meseda Bagaudinova today is the only chance to become financially independent. She began her solo concert program with an acoustic version of the VIA Gra hit “Kisses”, then moved on to new songs. A couple of years ago, the singer complained that she lacked a hit on the level of composer Meladze. The collaboration with the former mentor never took place, but during the concert Meseda introduced her new author Alexei Resnyansky, performing under the pseudonym Daniel.
“Meseda is a perfectionist. We worked on the single “Crossing” for more than six months. I hope that this song will be no worse than anything we have heard from her before. Meseda is very sensual, musical, daring, and such a heroine is sorely lacking in our show business today,” Daniel told the site.
Surprisingly, those who previously worked with Konstantin Meladze came to congratulate Meseda Bagaudinova on her return to the stage. These are, first of all, ex-soloists of VIA Gra Olga Koryagina and Tatyana Kotova. “Miss Russia 2006” today is especially happy about her solo career.
“Thoughts of returning to VIA Gro appeared in my head from time to time. I wanted to stand on stage and sing these beautiful songs. But now I have my own life, my own direction, and, probably, thanks to the fact that I went solo, I became a unique creative unit, and not one of three,” Tatyana Kotova proudly told us.
Of the other chicks that flew out of Meladze’s nest, the soloists of the Yin-Yang group Sergei Ashikhmin and Artem Ivanov were seen at the presentation, who told us that they no longer work with their eminent producer. We also met the finalist of the show “I want to go to VIA Gro”, and now
All the guests listened attentively to Meseda's half-hour concert. During her musical downtime, the girl significantly improved her vocal abilities, and her new material pleasantly pleased with its excellent melody. It would be interesting to know your opinion about the prospects for Meseda Bagaudinova’s solo career.
Meseda Bagaudinova was born on October 30, 1983 in the city of Grozny, becoming the fourth child in a large international family: her mother is Ukrainian and Belarusian by origin, and her father is an Avar. Meseda has two older sisters: Victoria and Salima, an older brother Oleg and a younger brother, Rustam. Meseda’s mother works as an administrator at a sanatorium, and her father is a military man. In 1992, when Meseda was 10 years old, the whole family moved from Grozny to Kislovodsk.
Even as a child, Meseda was firmly convinced that she would become a famous singer! But no one took the little girl’s bold statements seriously, considering them simply fantasies. Growing up, Meseda heard only ridicule and banter addressed to her: In Kislovodsk, where the girl grew up, it was not customary to dream of such unattainable heights. After school, they enrolled either as a nurse or as an accountant.
“Take off your rose-colored glasses! You can’t make a living from songs!” - they laughed at Meseda. But she never gave up on her crazy, as it seemed then, dream.
Having completed 11 grades of school and without a primary musical education, Meseda went to Rostov-on-Don to fulfill her dream. But it turned out to be not as simple as she imagined.
After numerous obstacles along the way, she entered the pop and jazz department of the School of Arts, where she began to take her first steps towards the big stage.
At the school, Meseda became a soloist in the “Dreams” ensemble, consisting of the most gifted girls. The group turned out to be bright and international: Avar Meseda Bagaudinova, Turkish Marina Abdullaeva and Georgian Maya Abesadze.
The first major performance before the public of the jazz ensemble “Dreams” took place at the beginning of 2002, when they were invited to a festive event at the Rostov City Internal Affairs Directorate. And it was from this performance that the group’s fame began. Girls began to be invited to literally all holidays. “Dreams” went on tour in the south of Russia and even performed abroad, in Austria.
During this period of her life, Meseda met the future Miss Russia and lead singer of the VIA Gra group Tatyana Kotova - the girls were neighbors on the landing. In 2005, they went to study in Moscow: Meseda - to fulfill her dream of the stage, Marina - to become a producer, and Maya - to become a journalist. Meseda’s efforts were not in vain: she entered the variety department of GITIS (RATI) and devoted herself entirely to her studies. Deciding not to wait for weather by the sea, Meseda decided to try her hand at the “People’s Artist” project, but then a surprise awaited her.
Tigran Keosayan, one of the jury members, either jokingly or in all seriousness, advised her to audition for VIA Gro. But, one way or another, the joke turned out to be prophetic.
Meseda’s older sister, Salima, while browsing the Internet, came across the news: “The brunette from VIA Gra is expecting a baby.” And then she advised Meseda to send her photos and recordings to the producers of the group, Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyuk. The girl followed the advice of her older sister and sent a video recording from an exam at the institute to Kyiv, in which she performed Larisa Dolina’s song from the film “The Barber of Siberia.”
Of course, it was clear that VIA Gra is a very popular group and to be its soloist means to instantly fly to the very top of Russian show business. Through a Moscow friend, Meseda met with the group’s press attaché, Natalya Blanchard, to whom she handed over her materials.
After some time, Konstantin Meladze called her and invited her to a meeting in Kyiv. On April 1, 2007, Meseda arrived in Kyiv, talked with the producers, did video tests, and that same evening was approved to join the team. She signed a contract for a period of five years.
From the very first performances it immediately became clear: Meseda knows how to behave on stage, has a strong and beautiful voice and good plasticity. At the Fifth Annual National MUZ-TV Awards 2007, the new soloist’s “baptism of fire” took place, where she showed only her best side.
But Vera Brezhneva left the group and only two soloists remained, which, in general, did not stop them from achieving ever greater heights.
Meseda’s first video work was a video for the song “Kisses,” which instantly soared to first place in the charts. And then - even more. Albina and Meseda together appear in top-rating programs on the main channels of two countries: Russia and Ukraine, actively tour and star in men's magazines, exciting the fantasies of the male half of humanity.
As an oriental girl, Meseda was constantly bombarded with reproaches: “You grew up in the Caucasus, how is that possible?!” What will the parents say, and the rest too? But the reproaches were unnecessary. She, like any lead singer of the group, did not cross the line. What about the parents? Her parents treated her work with understanding and were not ashamed of their daughter. Quite the contrary. However, so that the shooting in Playboy would not come as a surprise, Meseda warned her parents in advance. But they came to a unanimous conclusion: the pictures turned out good.
In March, a new video clip of the group “VIA Gra” for the tender lyrical song “I’m not afraid” was released, which became a kind of surprise. The video, which was filmed in an atmosphere of the strictest secrecy, will be presented by the three of the group - together with the new member of the group Tatyana Kotova, a longtime acquaintance of Meseda. After this, the trio in the updated composition will have stunning success at the MUZ-TV Awards 2008 in the form of victory in two nominations, namely, once again in the category “Best Pop Group of the Year” and “Best Video” (“Kisses”). In the fall of 2008, the group released a new single, the anthem of independent modern girls, “Emancipation,” and later an album of the same name, which became the second studio album during Meseda’s tenure in the group.
With this composition, the group takes part in the TV show “The Smartest”, where they win, thereby proving that beautiful girls can also be smart.
To the delight of fans, the group records a song and shoots a new video for the song “American Wife” in support of the film “Hipsters”, takes part in the filming of the New Year’s video from Muz-TV for the song “Happiness in Every Home”, receives another “Golden Gramophone” to its collection "for the song "Kisses", starred in the TV show "Cosmopolitan" on TNT, was nominated for the RMA-2008 award and took part in the creative evening of Konstantin Meladze "The Last Romantic".
But, unfortunately or fortunately, Meseda learns from Dmitry Kostyuk that Nadezhda Granovskaya is returning to the group, which means she needs to leave.
For a long time Meseda could not believe what had happened. And at such moments, perhaps, only close people can somehow help. Salima's sister was nearby. And for her this news was also shocking. There were some tears. But Meseda did not give up. As they say, everything that is done is for the better. A conversation with Nadya was necessary, and she decided to call.
Due to circumstances, the girls called each other before this event. And Meseda always really wanted to meet Nadya. She was always interesting to Meseda both as an artist and as a person. Plus, she actually took Nadya's place in the group! Therefore, I saw her as not a stranger at all. Sometimes Meseda called Nadya, but they could not meet: both were very busy.
After the necessary conversation with Nadya for Meseda, in which everything was confirmed, Meseda pulled herself together and decided that this was just another barrier in her life that needed to be overcome and she would undoubtedly cope with it, as with everything that she had already succeeded in to achieve in life, because getting into VIA Gro on your own is not so easy, it is even more difficult to show yourself there only from the best side.
After parting with the group, we can see that Meseda is not only a talented girl, but also grateful; few people left the group and left the names of the producers clear. Meseda is grateful to Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyuk for giving her the opportunity to express herself as a singer. She learned a lot: how to behave on stage, build relationships with the audience, get out of tricky situations, which is also possible on stage...
After the last concert in the group, which took place on January 16, 2009, Meseda had a warm conversation with Dima Kostyuk. Now Meseda will pursue a solo career and knows that in difficult times Dima and Kostya will lend her a helping hand. As for Konstantin Meladze, he, as a creative person, advised Meseda to take a blank sheet of paper, write in detail how she sees herself in a solo project, and then suggested that they think about Meseda’s future work together.
As part of the VIA Gra group, according to Meseda, we will not see her again, but at the same time, Meseda understands that never say never.
On March 2, 2015, Meseda presented the video clip “Intersection”. The composition became the fifth solo track in the performer’s creative activity. The song was written by a young author and singer Alexey Resnyansky (aka Daniel) especially for Meseda.
The video was directed by Ivan Sherstnikov. Filming took place in the studio. For the video, Meseda chose a white outfit in the style of a monastic robe with a hood, thus hiding the charms of her body. Towards the end of the video, the singer takes off her hood, showing viewers her new hairstyle - very short hair. Such changes in the pop star's appearance caused a flurry of comments from fans. After all, the girl previously had a shock of beautiful long hair. However, it is impossible not to notice that the singer remains beautiful and feminine.
2016
The beginning of spring. Inhale - exhale. The beginning of a new breath. The beginning of a new life. The life of Meseda's new song. Song "Day!" will become close to many women, because at a certain point in the life of the singer Meseda, it became autobiographical for her love story. How often does it happen that unexpectedly, even the most passionate relationships can go out like a “candle in the wind.” Perhaps many of us will find something of our own, “personal,” romantic and a little dramatic in the words of this song.
One cannot but agree that the Ukrainian popular musical trio “VIA Gra” gave many girls a ticket to the world of celebrities and stars. These, without a doubt, include Meseda Abdullarisovna Bagaudinova, whose photos appear every now and then on the pages of glossy magazines. A colleague of Anna Sedokova, Svetlana Loboda, Vera Brezhneva - this black-haired girl graced the stage for some time as part of one of the sexiest groups of modern pop.
Childhood and stage dreams
On October 30, 1983, Meseda Bagaudinova was born. The biography of the little princess begins in the city of Grozny, currently the capital of the Chechen Republic.
Her family can easily be called international. Meseda's mother is of Ukrainian-Belarusian origin. Dad is a true Avar (a population most of which lives in modern Dagestan). In addition to the heroine, there are four more children in the family: Vika, Salima, Oleg and Rustam. In 1992, the whole family moved to Kislovodsk.
While still a very young child, Meseda decides to become a singer. Not taking her words seriously, her family and friends advised the girl to study to become an accountant or nurse.
First steps to success
After graduating from school, she leaves for Rostov-on-Don to pursue her dream of the stage. The art school turned out to be the first step on a long path to fame, which Meseda Bagaudinova will still go through. The girl’s biography during her years of study was enriched with one bright and memorable event: she was selected to participate in the “Dreams” group. This team, like the USSR, gathered in its camp representatives of various countries. Meseda Bagaudinova, whose nationality was identified by her father as Avarka, the bright Georgian Maya Abesadze and the Turkish beauty Marina Abdullaeva - only the most talented girls of the school performed in the group, among whom, alas, there were no Russians. The bright team was very popular not only in the city, but also far beyond its borders.
All kinds of performances, tours in the southern part of Russia and even abroad - this is how Meseda Bagaudinova spent the next few years. After graduating from college, the girl’s biography is replenished with an important fact: a meeting with the future “Miss Russia” Tatyana Kotova. It was she who inspired the heroine to travel to Moscow.
Group "VIA Gra"
In the capital of Russia, Meseda enters the RATI-GITIS Faculty of Variety Arts. In addition to studying, the girl is trying to conquer show business and goes to the casting of the “People’s Artist” project. The jury does not evaluate Meseda's vocal abilities and jokingly advises her to qualify for the VIA Gra group. Which is what she does. And absolutely successfully. And in 2007, the popular group accepted a new soloist into its trio, who, to the surprise of everyone, turned out to be Meseda Bagaudinova. The singer’s biography demonstrates to the public the fact of the grand leap up the career ladder that the girl made in such a short time. Her best work as part of the team is the video “Kisses”, which on the day of its release firmly settled in the top positions of all kinds of charts. For some time Meseda successfully performed as part of the VIA Gra group, achieving success and receiving all kinds of prizes. However, in 2009, Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to the team, and the heroine had to leave.
Quietly and without quarreling with anyone, the singer is pursuing a solo career. She has maintained an excellent relationship with Konstantin Meladze and can always count on his help.

Biography
Born in Grozny. When Meseda was nine years old (in 1992), the family moved to Kislovodsk.

There was always a blonde, a brown-haired girl and a brunette in the group. Nadya and I are brunettes, so we can’t be in a group together. Nadya, of course, brought a lot to the group at the very beginning of VIA Gra’s existence, this should be respected. I don't regret it at all. Everything is fine in my life and in my work. I will do a solo project.”
