Ani Lorak - photo

Ani Lorak, real name Kuek Karolina Miroslavovna (b. 1978) is a famous Ukrainian singer, model (several international brands chose her as an advertising face for their companies), Honored Artist of Ukraine, People's Artist of Ukraine.

Family tree

Ani Lorak was born on September 27, 1978 in the small Ukrainian town of Kitsman, which is located in the Chernivtsi region.

Caroline's parents separated even before the girl was born. The baby was raised mostly by her grandparents, since her mother had to work very hard to feed the children.

My paternal grandparents, Kuek Ivan and Olga, are no longer alive. My grandfather served as a pilot in the war, was captured, where he trained German language and taught his granddaughter to speak it. My grandmother got married very early, at the age of 16. They were a very happy couple with their grandfather, they managed to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. It was Grandma Olga who baptized little Caroline in the Kitsman church.

My grandparents on my mother’s side, Yanina and Vasily Dmitrienko, also lived together for a long time happy life. Grandmother Yanina is Polish by origin; in her youth she was almost the most beautiful girl in Kitsmani. So it’s clear who Ani Lorak turned out to be such a beauty.

Despite such happy marriages older generation, life for Caroline's parents did not work out. Mom, Linkova Zhanna Vasilievna, got married three times. From her first marriage in 1968, she gave birth to a son, Sergei, who died in Afghanistan while doing his military service there in 1987.

From her second husband, Miroslav Ivanovich Kuek, Igor (in 1976) and Carolina were born. In 1985, from her third marriage, Zhanna Vasilievna gave birth to another boy. Ani Lorak’s mother lives in Chernivtsi; she worked all her life as a television and radio announcer.

So Caroline was the only girl who, of course, everyone loved very much. But some special connection, one might even say spiritual, connected her with her eldest brother Sergei. When she was still very young, it was he who recognized the singing talent in her sister and insisted that she not give up her passion for singing, but, on the contrary, continue to develop in this direction.

Dad, Miroslav Kuek, Honored Journalist of Ukraine, is an employee of the newspaper “Free Life”, lives in his homeland in the city of Kitsman. In his youth he studied to become a choir conductor in Chernivtsi music school, so Caroline had someone to inherit her passion for music from.

And she was born in picturesque Bukovina. This region is the birthplace of such talents as the author of the song “Chervona Ruta”, Vladimir Ivasyuk, and the People’s Artist of the USSR, everyone’s favorite singer Sofia Rotaru. So Caroline, at the age of 4, decided to devote her life to singing and music.

First steps into the world of music

It cannot be said that Caroline’s childhood was spent in prosperity; moreover, the family was poor. Mom tried, she worked from morning until late evening, but she was not able to feed the children, which is why she sent them to a boarding school. The girl was barely 6 years old when she and her brothers ended up at the Sadgor boarding school in Chernivtsi. Carolina studied there until the 7th grade, and all this time she was among the first at any school vocal competitions.

In 1992, Carolina took part in the “Primrose” song festival, which took place in Chernivtsi, and received second prize there. Here she was noticed by producer Yuri Falyosa and offered the young girl a cooperation contract, which she signed, and from that moment she slowly but surely set off on her journey to musical Olympus. Yuri managed to discern a promising singer in the girl in time, thanks to him Carolina began to comprehend the intricacies of show business.

In 1994 she received two first prizes at music festivals– “Veselad” in Kyiv and “Dolya” in Chernivtsi.

The second prize for Caroline was brought by the all-Ukrainian festival “Chervona Ruta” in the city of Sevastopol in 1995. And at the same time, she became famous outside of Ukraine, thanks to her victory in the “Morning Star” competition, which took place on Russian television. From that moment on, the stage name of the aspiring singer appeared. Since a singer from Russia took part in the competition under the name Carolina, the Ukrainian guest had to urgently look for a pseudonym. Without thinking twice, it was decided to read the name Caroline backwards, and it turned out to be Ani Lorak. This year became predetermining in the fate of the singer, she gained fans, good fees, and journalists became increasingly interested in her.

The next year was marked by the release of Anya’s first collection of songs, “I Want to Fly,” the “Tavria Games” festival brought the singer recognition as “Discovery of 1995,” and she also won the World Competition of Young Performers in New York, where she won the Grand Prix.

At the end of 1997, a second collection of songs entitled “I’ll be back” was released. It's been a while more than a year, and Lorak’s everyday life turned into long, but very successful tours. First in large Ukrainian cities, then in Hungary, France, Germany and the USA.

In 1999, the performer received an award from the Ukrainian president for her work, Lorak became an Honored Artist of Ukraine; there have never been such young holders of this title in the country. In the same year, she met the composer Igor Krutoy. Working together, they released the song “Mirrors” and signed a contract (between the Moscow company ARS and singer Ani Lorak).

Her partner in the role of Vakula was the lead singer of the group “Vopli Vidoplyasova” Oleg Skripka. The musical comedy was an incredible success; compositions from it are still performed on radio and television. Also this year, the singer presented new collection of his songs “There, children are there”, which the very next year, based on sales results, was awarded, becoming a “Golden Disc”.

The singer went beyond the borders of her country, her star lit up and still shines on the Russian stage. One after another, she receives Golden Gramophone statuettes for her compositions:

The long road to Eurovision

In 2005, Ani successfully passed the Ukrainian national qualifying round in order to represent her country at Eurovision. According to the results of the audience vote, she became the favorite, but Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Tomenko got involved in resolving this issue. He insisted that the Ivano-Frankivsk group “Grinjoly” be invited to the final selection, whose artists eventually became Ukrainian representatives at the music competition, where they performed very poorly, receiving only 19th place.

But since childhood, Lorak has become accustomed to not giving up and moving towards her goal. She nevertheless participated in the European music competition “Eurovision” in 2008 and became second. The singer performed the song “Shady Lady,” the music for which was composed by Philip Kirkorov.

At the end of 2013, a new show program of the singer “Carolina” was presented in Kyiv, with which she later went on long tours to Ukrainian and Russian cities, the CIS and Baltic countries. Ani toured almost the entire 2014 with this program.

Thanks to Lorak, the world recognized the musical country of Ukraine. She won the hearts of listeners not only in her homeland and Russia, but also far beyond their borders. England and France, Germany and Hungary, Turkey and Poland, the USA - in these countries there are a lot of fans of the Ukrainian performer.

And of course, she will succeed, since her songs are stylish and high-quality, the lyrics are magnificent, and her voice simply enchants with its uniqueness, strength and at the same time femininity and tenderness.
