History of the artist's development

The future star of the show business industry was born in sunny Simferopol in the family of a military man and a dentist. Nadiya received her secondary education at the Simferopol Lyceum.

Since childhood, Nadiya has shown a strong desire for creativity and the stage. And as soon as the opportunity arose, she would arrange improvised performances. Her parents, noticing their daughter's artistic talents, decided to support her desire to develop in the field of music and dance. Therefore, they sent the girl to a music school and a dance studio.

From the age of 10, Nadiya began to seriously engage in pop vocals. And from the age of 12, she performed at the Simferopol nightclub "Albion". She performed modern interpretations of Ukrainian songs. At the same time, she participated in numerous vocal and dance competitions, where, thanks to her bright charisma and undeniable talent, she quickly gained recognition. Her first major victory was the Grand Prix at the "Southern Express" competition. Later, Nadiya became the Crimean champion in dancing. The girl won second place at the prestigious Bogatikov International Competition.

In parallel with her active creative activity, the singer received a higher education in absentia, acquiring a specialty in the field of vocal art.

Creative path

The growth of Nadia Dorofeeva's popularity was evidenced by the invitation of a music producer to be a soloist of the girl group "M.ChS" in 2005. At first, the group performed under the name Beauty style. But already in 2008, the singer took her first steps in a solo career. In Kyiv, she presented her debut album called "Marquise".

However, after making her discographic debut, the desire for collective creativity did not leave the singer. Nadiya decided to try herself in a new musical project, which was formed by the famous Ukrainian producer Potap. After an online selection, the artist passed an in-person audition in the capital. As a result, Dorofeeva was invited to the newly created team together with Alexei Zavgorodny, better known as Pozitiv.

Thus the group “Time and Glass” was born, which already on November 17, 2010 presented its first single and video clip “That’s How the Card Fell”. The composition quickly became a hit, which gave the duo a powerful start and recognition from a wide audience. The group’s subsequent releases, one after another, gained millions of views on YouTube. The tracks quickly conquered the charts. Among all the works, the Ukrainian-language track “Smoke” stands out. The composition expanded the circle of fans of the duet and entered the top three most popular video clips in the Ukrainian language at that time.

In parallel with working in the duet, Nadiya actively participated in television projects. In 2011, she became one of the youngest participants in the show "Zirka+Zirka-2" on Channel 1+1. She performed first in a pair with actress Olesya Zheleznyak. And later - with Viktor Loginov.
