Personality
Pseudonym
Klavdia Petrivna is a pseudonym borrowed from the heroine of the novel "Zapysky kyrpatoho Mefistofelia" by Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Vynnychenko.[5]
Versions of the real name
Petrivna hid her identity in the beginning of her career. Some sources said that she is an experienced woman of 35–40 years old, while others said that Klavdia Petrivna is a young girl or woman.[5][6] A theory suggested that her song lyrics are created using artificial intelligence.[7] There was also a belief among fans that the singer is a well-known personality. The singer's team reacted to these theories in different ways. They fueled discussions around the theory of artificial intelligence by using ambiguous text in the description below the official videos or on the artist's pages, while at the same time, label director Kateryna Shevchenko says in an interview that Klavdia was young and still studying at a music college.[5]
According to the Ukrainian singer Osty, Klavdia Petrivna decided to become an incognito singer not for the sake of PR, but because of shyness and fear of being disgraced in case of failure. Petrivna loves Volodymyr Ivasiuk's work and French songs, which is where she draws inspiration from.[8]
