In 2008, the first series of the youth series "Ranetki" was released on the STS channel, the producer of which is the famous on the series "Kadetstvo" Vyacheslav Murugov.

One of the main roles in this series is performed by Lera Kozlova. Both in the film and in life she is the soloist and the drummer of the collective. However, at the moment the girl is engaged in a solo career. Her cooperation with the group ended, to put it mildly, not quite successfully. How did the talented singer become a part of the popular band? What was the reason for her departure from the group? This article will tell you about this, and much more.

Childhood and Dancing

On January 22, 1988, Lera Kozlova was born in Moscow. The biography of a little girl takes its roots in a family where none of the members has anything to do with art. However, since childhood, the baby showed remarkable creativity. She never attended a music school. But this in no way prevented Valeria from demonstrating her outstanding skills in singing and dancing at all home events. Parents decide to give their daughter in a circle. At the behest of the case, Lera Kozlova is selected and becomes part of the once popular ensemble "Buratino". Thanks to the team and the head of this creative association, the girl has learned to dance perfectly and even play the drums.

Many people predicted Lera's career in ballet. However, the girl chose the musical direction. A huge influence on this decision was made by Sergey Milnichenko. It was he who persuaded the girl to become a soloist of the popular band "Ranetki".

Formation of the herlz band

Natalia Shchelkova and Yevgenia Ogurtsova (also members of the group) have been close friends since childhood. The first confident and talented plays the guitar, the second - on the keyboard. Father Zhenya and Sergei Milnichenko have been friends for a very long time. Looking at the rehearsing girls, the producer comes up with the idea of creating a cocky girlish team. He advertises in newspapers and the Internet. Thanks to the "World Wide Web," the band finds a bass player - Len Tretyakov. Lera Kozlova comes to the team to the place of former soloist Alina Petrova. She went abroad and could not continue to cooperate with the group.

The Way to Ranetki

Sergey Milnichenko saw Leroux at one of the performances of the "Buratino" ensemble, where the teenagers performed the "March of Drummers". The producer invited the girl to try her skills in the musical direction. At the casting, Lera Kozlova first sat down at the drum set. Repeating a few simple rhythms for Milnychenko and singing a couple of excerpts, the girl was confirmed to the place of the group's soloist. This is how Valeria began her career as one of the "wounders". This was in 2005.

The rise of popularity

Girls-participants quickly became friends with each other. The first successes overtook the herls band in 2006. It was then that Lera Kozlova, Anya Rudneva, Yevgeny Ogurtsov and Len Tretyakov performed at several major Russian festivals: Megahouse, Emaus, and others. The next year, the successful performance was repeated. At the same time, the Ranetki group already cooperates with such renowned collectives as Korni, Gorod-312 and GDR.

At the same time, Lera Kozlova takes part in the recording of an album of a popular punk band called "Cockroaches" at that time. She also excellently performs some parts on the backing vocals of the famous group of brothers Kristovskih "UmaTurman".

The series "Ranetki"

In 2007, the STS television channel invites the Rannetki's herlz band to record the soundtracks for the series "Kadetstvo". Producer Vyacheslav Murugov liked funny and interesting girls so much that he decides to make a film about them. After a while, the girls get the first pages of the text. A series called "Ranetki" brings great talent to young talented musicians. The television product became very popular: many teenagers were really keen on watching the film, where the events of the creation and formation of a popular band are vividly and interestingly described. This series gave Valeria the "Discovery of the Year" award at the presentation of the prestigious Ukrainian Prize "Telesvezda".

Leaving the group

As part of the musical team, Lera Kozlova performed many songs. Among them the most popular are "We are rannets", "About you", "Winter-winter", "It's all about her", "She is alone", "He will return" and others. Before the concert in Luzhniki, the girl accidentally learns that she is going to "ask" to leave the group. The reason for this was her "cooled" romantic relationship with the producer Sergei Milnichenko. Although many believed that the final of a long life together with the soloist of the group and the head would be a wedding. Lena Kozlova, however, the personal life of Sergey Milnichenko no longer touched. In 2008, the brightest "rannetka" left the group.

Solo career

Exactly one year later, the unfortunate husband of Lera Kozlova married Natalia Shchelkova, who since 2005 played solo guitar in a musical ensemble. In the same year in Samara the first solo concert of the former soloist of the band "Ranetki" was held. So began a new round of life Valeria. She starred in the video "He is near" the Ukrainian band Quest Pistols. Soon the producer of this man's team offered Lera to sign a contract. The girl gladly agreed. And after a while she begins to act under the pseudonym LeRa LeRa.

With the new producer, the singer received a "second wind". Already in 2010, two screens of the singer appear on the TV screens: "Unpleasant" and "Wolf". The result of the staggering success of Lera's creativity was the growing love of the public and awards at prestigious festivals. From the channel RU.TV the girl won a prize in the nomination "The singer of the year". And exactly one year later Lera was given a similar gift at the Bravo festival. At the same time came the first solo album of a bright blonde called "Give me a sign".

Shooting and sounding movies

In addition to music, the girl has established herself and as a talented actress. Her role in the series "Ranetki" did not go unnoticed. Then Leroux was invited to participate in the project "Summer, swimming trunks, rock'n'roll", where she played one of the main roles. Do not forget about the successful work with the fantastic Luke Besson. The imposing Frenchman, listening to the voices of the actresses who tried to duplicate Princess Seleni from the cartoon "Arthur", immediately fell in love with the voice of the ex-"wounded". He enthusiastically speaks about the fragile and sensual girl, hoping to continue to cooperate with her already in the full-length and un-animated cinema.

The intimate side of the medal

The personal life of show business stars is always interesting to others. Lera Kozlova was no exception. Did she give birth to a child? Is an ex-wife pregnant? Who is the chosen one of the talented singer? All these and many other questions torment both journalists and fans of the creativity of the girl.

After a painful withdrawal from the group, Nikita Goriuk (musician of the Ukrainian band Quest Pistols) gave a huge support to the girl. It was he who helped to cope with stress and to believe in himself. After a while the girl realized that she was in love with her friend. Surrounding Nikita with care and attention, she gradually achieved reciprocity. Rumors that the girl is allegedly pregnant and the child Lera Kozlova will be wearing the name Goriuk, are not confirmed. Whether the union of the two hearts will be lasting and lasting will be shown by time. While the couple is planning nothing.
