Biography
Ionova was born in Moscow, Soviet Union. Some sources call her birthplace Syzran, Kuibyshev Oblast, Russian SFSR but according to Ionova herself[5] and her PR-manager, this is a myth that was part of the PR-company.[4]
As a child, her hobbies included ballet and chess. She also did some acting and was in the films Triumph and Princess's War, as well as a few episodes of Yeralash. Currently she has a passion for aviation, her two Dobermans, and her yellow Mini Cooper, which she enjoys driving. She describes her favorite musical artists as Madonna, Moby, Mumiy Troll and Agatha Christie.[6]
Music career
In December 2005 she recorded and released an English version of her popular song "Schweine" that never took off with the public.
After her pregnancy leave, she released another single called "Dengi" (Money). During the festival, "New Wave" she sang a duet with Maxim Fadeev "Sicily". In May 2010 she released new single "Vot Takaya Lubov'", video.
In 2011, Glukoza competed on the Russian version of the television show Fort Boyard.[7]
Personal life
In 17 June 2006 she married Aleksandr Chistyakov, manager of the power supply systems of Russia. The couple has two daughters. Glukoza lives in Moscow, Russia, with her family.[8]
In August 2020, Glukoza was banned from entering Ukraine for three years because of her visit to the Crimean peninsula, which is currently disputed by Russia and Ukraine.[9]
