Childhood and youth
Karolina Poroshkova (real name of the artist) was born on December 20, 1981 in St. Petersburg. It’s difficult to talk about Cox’s nationality; in one program on NTV, she said that her dad was a Lezgin, and her mother was a Crimean Tatar, in fact, because of this, her parents could not be together. The singer met her father only at the age of 17 and speaks warmly of her relative, even though he did not take part in raising her daughter.
As a child, she lived in the cultural capital of Russia, but after graduating from school she moved to the UK for a couple of years, where she studied at the university, preparing to become a lawyer in the future. There Karina became acquainted with the illusory world of sounds, falling in love with the styles of soul, jazz, R'n'B and hip-hop.
Returning home, the girl decided to completely switch to doing what she loved - writing songs and performing. Despite the fact that the singer had no musical education behind her, she sought inspiration in the jazz clubs where she was a frequent guest while living in London.
Personal life
Karina met her future husband Eduard Magaev (Dj MEG) when she began her solo career. Then the musician brought the budding singer to Timati’s increasingly popular production center Black Star Inc. There the romantic relationship of the artists began, which later resulted in their personal life together.
Soon the lovers began to live together, but the wedding took place only on December 12, 2012. The singer believed that this date would bring happiness to her and her husband. Few people know, but Karina gave birth to her first child a week after this event.
The second daughter was born in 2015. At the same time, rumors spread on the Internet that Cox and Magaev had divorced. The couple themselves asked not to take seriously the materials published in the yellow press. They noted that they have not broken up and do not plan to do so, not only because they have two children together, but also because they support and love each other in any situation.

This was confirmed by Magaev’s conflict with Olga Buzova in 2021, in which Cox took her husband’s side without hesitation. More precisely, a scandal occurred between Buzova and Comedy Club resident Andrei Skorokhod, who allowed himself to make fun of the girl in a harsh manner. Olga was offended by this, and instead of responding to the insult in the same manner, she simply posted a post on Instagram in which she explained that from now on she would deal with her offenders only through the courts.
Dj MEG supported Skorokhodov in this situation, for which he came under a wave of indignation from Buzova’s subscribers. It seemed to her fans that this was not enough, and then they began to act through the DJ’s wife, sending her offensive messages as well. Cox reacted harshly to this, explaining to everyone that she fully supported her husband and did not consider him to blame for the conflict.
Despite her busy work schedule, Karina does not forget about her subscribers. On Instagram, Cox regularly posted videos from her vacation, as well as photos from concerts and filming.

The singer quickly got into shape after both births. She shared her secrets with fans, saying that proper nutrition and independent childcare help her lose extra pounds.
In her interviews, Karina spoke about her husband’s reverent attitude towards her daughters. According to her, he is very afraid that something will happen to them. Karina can calmly watch how the girls jump on the sofas or climb onto the windowsill. The singer introduces them to cooking; Camilla and Alana often help her in the kitchen. But Edward is against this. He believes that this is too dangerous, since the crumbs can cut themselves at any moment.
The spouses have an excellent relationship; they deny rumors about quarrels and preparations for divorce. An indicator of the quality of their relationship can be considered the fact that when several years ago Eduard became involved in a conflict with Buzova, Karina took his side. She said she would not allow her husband's actions or statements to be attacked.

Karina Koks now
In 2012, the artist began collaborating with DJ ChinKong and signed a contract with his company ChinKong Production. The singer abandoned her pseudonym and changed her image.
ChinKong is known in Russia as a successful sound producer. Previously, he was even called the “gray eminence” of the modern Russian pop scene. One of the joint creations of the artists, the track High Up (a video for this song was recorded in Tallinn), at one time was heard on all the dance floors of Eastern and Western Europe.
In 2015, another composition came out from Karina’s pen, called “Wherever You Are,” which became an overnight hit.
After the birth of her children, Cox began to combine family chores with work. The charming singer presented the track “Dangerous Feeling,” written together with DJ Meg, and also promised fans to release a couple more new songs in the near future.
Throughout her career, Cox has released not only solo compositions or tracks created in collaboration with Dj MEG. Some of her compositions have been recorded with other artists, a striking example of this is her collaboration with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. In 2021, the woman even shared the stage of the St. Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex with this team.
In December 2019, fans were able to enjoy the artist’s new song “Don’t Interrupt Me,” created together with her husband. The composition about love and relationships is recorded to rhythmic dance music.
Way to success
While living in the UK, Karina realized that she wanted to engage in musical activities. And although she did not have any special education, she believed that the time spent in London nightclubs and the experience gained would help her achieve success and popularity. Therefore, upon returning to her homeland, she took the pseudonym Cox and began writing songs, and then creating a musical group. His creative path began in 2000 with participation in the group “Slivki”.
In 2010, Karina decided that it was time to move on, but as a solo singer. At the beginning of 2011, Cox left the team, wrote new songs, changed his image and began collaborating with the production center “Black Star”. Karina Kox’s first work as a solo performer was the song “Flying High,” and in the same year her video for the song “Everything is Decided” appeared on television, and later her debut album. In 2012, the singer stopped collaborating with Black Star, after which he became Karina’s producer. However, their agreement did not clearly define the singer’s personal life, so Cox got married, as a result of which she stopped paying due attention to her career, and eventually left the stage altogether.
Karina Koks is the only member of the Slivki group, who performed as a member for more than 10 years and during this period 6 albums were released
Karina Cox now
Although Cox’s age is far from young, she still remains as popular both among fans of her former work, still in the group “Slivki,” and among fans of solo songs. In January 2021, Cox’s new album “From Friday to Spring” was released. The album's song of the same name became the title soundtrack for the film Without Men by Rezo Gigineishvili and Alisa Khmelnitskaya.
In March 2021, in honor of the 94th birthday of composer Alexander Zatsepin, a meeting of everyone close to his work took place. Among them were Larisa Dolina, Nonna Grishaeva, Masha Rasputina, but most of the others attracted the attention of Karina Koks, who performed the composition “Where does childhood go” with musical accompaniment by Zatsepin.
And in April of the same year, the singer took part in the popular television show “Mask”. The audience managed to recognize the artist in the guise of a wolf.
Participation in the show "Mask"
Singer Karina Koks, who was in the guise of a Wolf on the “Mask” show, explained on the NTV channel “The Stars Aligned” program why comedian Garik Martirosyan managed to figure her out. The showman was on the jury.
“If Garik Martirosyan hadn’t muddied the waters, then they probably wouldn’t have recognized me until the end. Garik knows my voice very well. They once had a long trip and there was only one cassette of the group “Slivki” in the car. He burned me. And there could be other versions of who is hiding under the mask of the Wolf,” said the performer.
Karina Cox added that she truly enjoyed participating in the show. As you know, the performer eventually took second place.
According to the judges of the “Mask” show, Karina Koks became a real discovery of the project, managing to realize the most vivid and diverse images with her artistry and vocals.
