Music: hobby or life?
Musical classes were a pleasant hobby for Marina. She performed for some time as part of a youth jazz ensemble and tried to participate solo in talent competitions. At that time, the girl did not even think that this harmless hobby would become the main activity in her life.
Marina studied at the Moscow University of Consumer Cooperatives with a degree in Finance and Credit. Banking" and was seriously planning to work in her specialty after receiving her diploma. However, quite by accident, the recording of the singer’s performance was listened to by Dmitry Groysman, producer of the Chaif group and co-producer of the Nashestvie festival.
Biography
Marina Nesterova was born in Moscow on November 25, 1978. Until the age of 22 she lived in Ivanteevka, near Moscow. Her parents sent the girl to a music school to learn piano, but she only wanted to play the guitar, but Mara was not old enough to play this instrument.
She had to wait until 5th grade when she was finally accepted. She doesn’t remember when she started singing, perhaps as soon as she started speaking. She wrote her first song when she was 11 years old.
It was dedicated to Marina’s first teacher and was performed in a duet with a classmate. During her school years, the singer studied vocals and went to various performances with a jazz sextet.
Mara never seriously planned to connect her future with music.
She studied at the Moscow University of Consumer Cooperatives and after receiving her diploma planned to work in her specialty. But fate decreed otherwise.
One day, the co-producer of the “Invasion” festival, Dmitry Groysman, heard a recording of the singer’s performance. He invited Marina to record a song with the participation of the Tequilajazzz group. And although the song did not become a hit, a start was made. But first I had to graduate from college.
Projected Success
Singer Mara Groysman charmed from the first notes. The producer organized a recording for her in St. Petersburg with the participation of the famous group Tequilajazzz, but the first song was not at all like a hit. It was not possible to work quickly and actively, since Marina was still a student. And after graduating from university, the recording of the first album began. The country learned about the new singer in 2003 thanks to the song “Planes”, which was performed on the air of “Our Radio” and hung for a long time in the “Chart Dozen” hit parade. Very soon history repeated itself with the song “Dolphins”. In the same year, the singer performs at the “Invasion” festival, and then releases her first album “Frankness”.
Discography and creativity
The collaboration between Mary and Groysman lasted about 5 years. The singer's second album was released in 2005 and was called 220V. All this time, the songs were in rotation on the radio, videos were shot and concerts were held. In 2008, the album Unplugged was released. After breaking the contract with the producer, the singer’s creative activity subsides. However, according to many sources, Groysman himself, who did a lot to promote the talent and acquire Marina star status, is also dissatisfied with the termination of cooperation.
In 2012, the singer’s new album, “Two Worlds,” was released. Everything in it is somewhat different than in the singer’s earlier works - a slightly different style of music, a new style of lyrics. However, even such a new product was greeted with delight among fans. Today Mara is a singer, whose photos can still often be seen in print media. She also realizes herself in creativity; new compositions, albeit slowly, are being recorded; the star also collaborates as a co-author of songs with some popular performers.
Creation
After graduation, Mara no longer dreams of becoming a financier. The meeting with Groysman turned out to be fatal for her. In 2003, the country recognized a new singer who burst onto the domestic scene with “Airplanes.”
The collaboration with the star producer lasted 5 years. During this period, the singer gave her fans several hit albums: “220V” in 2005, “Unplugged” in 2008. After the breakup with Groysman, the singer’s popularity and creative activity faded.
In 2012, Mara finally pleased her fans with the new album “Two Worlds”. This was completely different music, in no way reminiscent of her early performances. However, fans greeted the long-awaited creation of their idol with delight.
Recently, military and patriotic themes have predominated in Mara’s work.
Personal life: rumors and speculation
This star is often put on a par with Zemfira and the Night Snipers group. Representatives of sexual minorities sympathize with Mara and very often enroll in their ranks. However, the star herself only openly says that she does not accept any manifestations of homophobia, and diligently avoids talking about personal matters. Meanwhile, the yellow press attributes to her either a quick wedding with a man or a new romance with a girl. And yet Mara is a singer whose personal life is shrouded in mystery. So where did all these contradictory and strange speculations come from? “Genderless” texts about love make you think. In her lyrical songs, the singer usually addresses her partner in the second person, so it is impossible to accurately identify his gender. In addition, in many interviews, when asked about writing compositions about love, the star talks about what inspired her to write a particular song “by a person with whom we have a close relationship.” But behind this formulation both a man and a woman can be hidden.
On the other hand, Mara is not shy about participating in candid photo shoots for men's magazines. And this is a strange act for a representative of a sexual minority. However, what difference does it make who a creative person loves? Mara is a unique and very talented singer, and who to live with is her own business.
Personal life
We have already told you how successful Mara (singer) is. Her personal life will be described below. Representatives of sexual minorities often sympathize with Mara and even enroll the performer in their ranks in absentia. At the same time, the singer herself openly only says that she considers any manifestations of homophobia unacceptable. She studiously avoids talking about her personal life. At the same time, in the tabloid press you can find notes that promise her a quick wedding with a representative of the fair sex or describe a romantic relationship with a girl.
However, reliable information about the personal life of our heroine is shrouded in mystery. Reasons for speculation should be sought in the performer’s work. Many critics look for answers to their questions in “genderless” texts about love. In songs, our heroine usually addresses her partner in the second person, so it is impossible to identify the gender. In addition, in a number of interviews, the girl names a certain “person” with whom she is in a close relationship as the object that inspired her to write her next composition. Gender is again not specified. At the same time, the performer does not hesitate to take part in candid photo shoots for various men's magazines. Such behavior is usually not characteristic of representatives of sexual minorities.
In her free time, Marina likes to relax. However, her schedule is quite busy. At the first opportunity, she tries to devote time to active sports or goes on a trip. The girl loves cycling. She also often paraglides and rollerblades. She also tries to devote time to her family and friends. Sometimes our heroine hinted that her heart was free, which gave her space for creativity.
Personal life and interests of the star
In her free time from work, Marina, like any normal person, loves to relax.
Mara is a fairly popular singer, and therefore she is not able to take long vacations very often now. But as soon as the opportunity arises, the star goes on trips or tries to make time for active sports. The singer loves cycling, rollerblading and paragliding. In addition, she tries to spend as much time as possible with her family and close friends. Singer Mara, whose biography includes many love scandals, real or invented by journalists, does not hide the fact that today her heart is free. However, in her opinion, the absence of passions provides greater freedom for creativity and self-realization.

Let's get on with this." <:> We have known him since childhood, we studied at the same school. Were friends.

With him, I learned not to miss any opportunity that is given to me. When my first meeting with producer Dmitry Groysman was supposed to happen, we were going to go on vacation. My husband then said, 'We're canceling the trip because you have an important meeting.' I thought that the meeting could be rescheduled: But he said: “You will understand later that I was right.” You were appointed on this day - that means you should be on this day, this is your chance.' And there were many such moments. Initially, it was my husband who influenced my internal business organization. (Thinks.) It’s strange, I’ve always loved mature, adult people.

(ABOUT HOMOPHOBIA AND HOMOSEXUALISM)
'I think there is no need to talk about your beliefs regarding orientation. In our society this is perceived incorrectly. We were just on tour in Perm. And they just elected either a local minister of culture or his assistant, who is a terrible homophobe. And he said that Svetlana Surganova would not perform in Perm. This had a great resonance, and I was invited to discuss this topic. And I quite calmly said on air that a homophobe in the government is very bad. This suggests that he himself is a latent homosexual. Or not latent. This will lead to incorrect prohibitions where one should be tolerant. In the context of society, I can discuss this issue. In the context of my own life, I don’t want to.”
(ABOUT YOUR PRACTICALITY AND ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT)
'I'm very practical. It doesn’t happen that I open the refrigerator and it’s empty. That is, I regularly go to the store because I love to eat delicious food and cook well, even too well. I never read different cookbooks, but try different foods in different restaurants and simply repeat them at home using the same ingredients. Moreover, I can cook a masterpiece from minimal things. I also never suddenly run out of toothpaste. I always have a supply of necessary things. I am an economist and can calculate my budget so that I always have enough money for everything: In addition, I am very pedantic when it comes to cleaning my apartment. Everything must be perfectly clean! And therefore, even in a state of terrible fatigue, I will never leave dirty dishes or an unclean table in the kitchen.”
(ABOUT ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES)
'I clearly know my strengths and everything that I still need to work on. I'm very self-critical. Very. What is normal for many people is not enough for me. But I don't discuss my shortcomings.'
