Alice in the Land of Boundless Talent

Like every talented person, Alice is talented in many ways. Along with unique vocal abilities, the young talent has extraordinary mathematical abilities: participation in Olympiads in mathematics and the Russian language often resulted in prizes for Alisa. “She really likes to study and take an active part in competitions, theatrical performances, fairy tales - this is her favorite activity, this is her favorite vacation,” the girl’s grandfather, Viktor Vycherov, shares with us.

Alisa has been playing the piano since she was 6 years old. Her teacher Natalya Balashova says that the girl always moved forward by leaps and bounds, wanting to master all the secrets of vocals and playing the piano as soon as possible. In the regional competition “Teacher and Student,” Alisa performed a rather complex program, although at that time she was only a second-grade student. By the end of second grade, she was in a program designed for fifth- and sixth-graders.

Alice does everything with great pleasure, which she gets from her favorite activity, and that is why she probably attracts such attention to herself.

Build your Destiny!

They say that if you devote all your time to something you do with love, your dream will come closer and become a reality. The stories of many famous people about how they became famous are very similar: no one, as a rule, strived for popularity and fame, but simply did what they loved, and success found them. If this was not a favorite activity, it is unlikely that everything would have turned out this way.

A business that a person chooses, one might say, by chance, works on himself and puts his whole soul into this work, at some point turns out to be very necessary for people. However, it is not unreasonable to assert that randomness is a pattern that cannot be explained. It is she who changes fate, turning it in a completely unexpected direction. And suddenly it turns out that this particular side is the only true one.

So, on one of the beautiful, warm days of summer 2013, Alisa saw a commercial on TV that invited talented guys to take part in the new project of Channel One - “The Voice. Children". The thought that she definitely needed to become a member of it dawned on Alice instantly. However, the parents did not immediately support such a bold statement, but deep parental love and the daughter’s persuasion did their job: the application to “The Voice” was sent on the girl’s birthday! Neither mom and dad, nor Alice herself even imagined that they would be able to overcome the qualifying round, because over the past year the little girl didn’t even have a vocal teacher; self-education is what Alice devoted all her time to. However, the mentors were able to “discern” her talent during the blind auditions: Alisa came under the “wing” of Maxim Aleksandrovich Fadeev. The mentor was not mistaken; the time of their unique tandem was not in vain. Alice herself perceived the project as a fairy tale, the ending of which, as she claimed, was not known even to her. “As long as it lasts,” she said, “I appreciate every moment, every second, every moment...”.

Hardly anyone could have expected such an ending. With a large gap over her competitors, much older and more experienced, Alisa won the show “The Voice. Children”, collecting more than 400,000 votes in its favor in the final.

From the bottom of her big, kind heart, little Alice thanked all those who believed in her to the bitter end. “This is our common victory!” - she addressed fans of her talent - “I couldn’t have done it without you!”

The competition is over, but for Alisa this is only the beginning, the beginning of her great creative journey.

Childhood

The mother of a talented girl plays the piano masterfully. The daughter, who spent a lot of time with her parents, became addicted to music from an early age.

Soon all the relatives began to notice the girl’s remarkable vocal abilities. Therefore, as soon as Alice was four years old, she began studying with a teacher, developing her innate talent.

Education

In 2007, Alisa’s parents brought her to the “Listen to the Heart” pop song theater, where the directors were Viktor and Olesya Lukyanovsky. But the girl’s musical education was not limited to this. At the age of six, Alisa Kozhikina also began attending a local music school, while still taking vocal classes. Soon she was already successfully playing the piano.

All teachers recall that by the end of the second year of study, Alisa Kozhikina coped well with the program, which students in the fifth or sixth music class usually have difficulty studying.

Career

In 2014, the whole family moved to the small town of Sosnovy Bor. This was due to the girl’s creative activity, since at this time Alice was ready to begin more serious training. In Kurchatov she participated in various competitions, but Alisa Kozhikina began building her creative career after moving to the Leningrad region.

At the same time, she became a laureate of the famous competition called “Constellation of the Young”. And then the winner of the special grand prix of the “Childhood Holiday” competition. Soon Alisa Kozhikina becomes the winner of the Grand Prix of another Moscow competition.

The girl reached the finals of the competition, where she performed Tina Turner's famous hit. After an excellent performance, she became a participant in the super final. Her mentor remade one of Mariah Carey's songs - it was with this composition by Kozhikin that Alisa became the winner of a popular television competition. Of course, the victory was not easy, since older and more experienced performers took part in the competition.

The prize for this difficult victory was five hundred thousand rubles and a contract with the Universal Music recording studio. This probably became a kind of trigger, because already on September 22 of the same year the whole country learned that the young star had been entrusted with representing Russia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. In this international competition, Alice successfully took fifth place.

Creative activity

In 2014, Alisa became a special guest at the Muz-TV music awards. She also helped voice the American musical film Annie. But the girl still sings and records her songs.

Several albums have already been released and are enjoying success. In 2015, she voiced the main song for the cartoon “Fortress. Shield and sword." The following year, the girl began collaborating with one of the French television channels - she was asked to record the soundtrack for the popular children's series "Princess Sissy".

In 2016, Alisa Kozhikina, whose songs are known and sung by the whole country, received the main and interesting role in the New Year's fairy-tale performance of the Safronov brothers. This show with the beautiful name “Alice in Wonderland” was visited by a huge number of viewers. And in the spring of 2016, the first solo concert of a young girl takes place in Belgorod.

It is known that Alisa has a close and fruitful collaboration with Max Fadeev. In 2014, a ten-year contract was signed between them. But a year later the girl decided to break off these business ties. As Maxim Fadeev himself explained, this was a deliberate decision by the young singer’s parents, who wished to interrupt their daughter’s musical career for some time. After all, Alice needs not only to perform, but also to study and get a school education.

A little later, however, an agreement was concluded with Mikhail Chertishchev, one of the most famous and popular composers in St. Petersburg. He wrote many compositions, which, performed by Alice, quickly won the love of television viewers and radio listeners. This includes “I’m Lying on the Beach” and “Fell” and many others. At the end of 2016, this short cooperation was terminated - the reasons for this, unfortunately, are unknown.

Alisa Kozhikina is a young singer, winner of children's vocal competitions, including the show “The Voice. Children" 2014, finalist of Junior Eurovision 2014.

Fans of the young star with the angelic voice are interested in where Alice is from. The girl was born in the village of Uspenka, located on the outskirts of the city of Kurchatov, in the Kursk region. Alice's parents could not even imagine that within a few years their tiny daughter would show promise as a brilliant vocalist.

There were no musicians in the Kozhikin family, but the girl’s mother, Anna Viktorovna, plays the piano well, so Alisa literally grew up listening to the enchanting melodic sounds of this instrument. Anna Kozhikina recalls that in the junior group of kindergarten, her daughter was withdrawn, shy and complex.

The girl told her mother that in kindergarten no one wanted to talk to her or play with her, she had only one friend. In an effort to rid the girl of complexes and insecurities, and to make her believe in her strengths and talents, her parents enrolled Alice in various classes when she was only three years old. The little girl did drawing, dancing, and gymnastics.

At the age of four, Alice took her first singing lesson, and even then it became clear that the girl had found her calling. This happened in the children's theater “Listen to your heart” in Kurchatov. At the age of six, Kozhikina entered a music school, where she studied vocals and piano.

Music

The first success for the talented and very diligent girl came in 2009. Alice, still a kindergarten student, won the “Princess of the Year” competition. Subsequently, the young star shone at city and regional competitions, while at the same time managing to study in regular and music schools.

Alice’s mother admits: without her daughter’s diligence and perseverance, love of music and singing, the future finalist of “The Voice” would hardly have been able to achieve such brilliant results. The girl’s talent played a decisive role in her ascent to the children’s musical Olympus. So, in the second grade of a music school, Alice easily mastered the fifth and sixth grade curriculum, and not at all because she wanted to be the first in everything, it was just that singing and music became her life.
