History of the artist's development

Klavdia Petrivna (real name – Solomiya Opryshko) is a Ukrainian singer, songwriter and musician from Lviv region. One of the brightest stars of the new wave of the Ukrainian scene, an artist whose appearance in the industry became a real cultural phenomenon. Behind the stage name stands Solomiya Opryshko - a professional musician with an academic education, a deep sense of style and rare charisma, who works equally confidently with both chamber emotions and a large audience.

Solomiya's musical path began in childhood - with studies at a music school. And later led to the Drohobych Vasyl Barvinsky College of Music, which the talented girl graduated from in 2024 in the violin class. In parallel, the future singer managed to work in symphony, chamber and folk orchestras, which formed her as a universal performer with a delicate ear and a deep understanding of composition. In the same years, Solomiya studied with OSTY - this collaboration later resulted in the early track "Who Are You", which collected about 12 million views on YouTube.

The pseudonym Klavdia Petrivna has literary roots - the name is borrowed from the novel "Notes of the Snub-nosed Mephistopheles" (by Volodymyr Vynnychenko). That was the name of the beloved of the main character, a political figure of the UNR era, who was in many ways an artistic reflection of the author himself. This choice immediately laid an intellectual and slightly ironic subtext in the project, which later became an important part of the creative image.

From the start of her career until August 30, 2024, the performer remained anonymous in principle. This strategy only fueled interest - the cultural environment actively discussed who the mysterious star was. There were a variety of versions: from assumptions about a very young age to fantasies about an experienced singer of 35–40 years old. And the artist's team even ironically hinted at the possible participation of artificial intelligence in creating the image of the star. This game with the audience's expectations turned Klavdia Petrivna into one of the most discussed figures in Ukrainian pop culture.

Creative path

The official entrance to the big stage took place with the signing of a contract with the NEBO Music label in the fall of 2023. Even earlier, in August, the first demo versions of the tracks appeared on TikTok and literally in a week began to gain viral popularity. Already in early 2024, the single "Find Me" topped the charts of Ukrainian radio stations, securing the singer the status of the leader of the new wave. Six months later, two mini-albums - "Take Care of Me" and "Winter" - became one of the most discussed releases of the season. And the number of regular listeners on Spotify approached half a million.

Style and creative development

Klavdia Petrivna's style is a balance between humor, nostalgia and feminine power. The singer has proven that a real star does not need templates. And charisma and recognition are born from authenticity. Her work already influences Ukrainian musical culture today, and each new track, record or festival performance only strengthens the artist's position as one of the key figures of the modern scene.

At the end of 2023, the world saw the track "Black and White", recorded in collaboration with OSTY. By that time, Klavdia Petrivna's recognizable style had finally formed - a combination of modern pop music, ethno motifs, nostalgia and subtle irony. The formation of this sound was significantly influenced by the music of the late 1980s and early 1990s - the shadow of Viktor Tsoi is felt in the lyrics, and the intonations of Andriy Mykolaychuk are visible in the melody and mood. Solomiya took these cultural codes from her family environment, where similar records had been heard since childhood, and reinterpreted them in her own work.

2024 began with the release of the track "Snow", and in the spring another high-profile collaboration appeared - the composition "Baraban", recorded together with Artem Pivovarov. The culmination of the year was her debut solo concerts on August 30 and 31 at the Kyiv Palace of Sports, which gathered 7–8 thousand spectators each evening. For the young artist, this became an undeniable confirmation of recognition and true popularity.

In 2025, the concert story continued - on February 13 and 14, Klavdia Petrivna performed at the Malevych concert arena in Lviv. The artist's live shows are increasingly reminiscent of a theatrical performance, where music, light and emotion work as a single team. The stage for the performer is a space for dialogue, and each performance turns into a sincere conversation with fans and admirers.
