With 6 shows set up for Brazil, the singer talks about her solo career and the break up of the duo:"We're not enemies but we haven't been talking to eachother".
Teenagers, beautiful... and lesbian. This image gave Julia Volkova and her partner, Lena Katina, worldwide sucess in the begining of the 00's with t.A.T.u. With hits as "All The Things She Said" and "Not Gonna Get Us", the Russian girls have shoked everybody as the first famous lesbian duo, even if they have never confirmed anything besides friendship.
Everything was great till Julia got pregnant of her first son, in 2004, showing there was no romance between the girls. Even if some fans were disapointed, they were still making hits and shoking people with their comeback single "All About Us". In this video, they try to make up after news saying they were together no more.
Six years have passed and the video history came true, in the begining of 2011: t.A.T.u. is over.
Now, Julia starts her solo career and has 6 set up shows for this moth in Brazil. In interview to EGO, she says she wants time for enjoying each city she will be visiting.
"I've already been to Brazil with t.A.T.u. and I loved it. I remember everything was exciting and the fans were amazing. I hope this time I'll have more time for knowing the cities better. I love you guys."
Diferently from what she used to do with t.A.T.u., Julia has been trying a softer sound, but she promises not to disapoint fans. " I started with rock, but then we realised it was too heavy for my fans, so now we're trying pop-dance-rock".
Even after 10 years of career, Julia told us the breaking up ideia didn't come from them, but from their manager. "Boris Resnki took the decision, but we all realised we had grown up and it was time to move on. He's still Lena's producer."
Right after the breaking up, Julia told her fans it was still possible to come back together, but after seeing Lena's first video, which they are killed and burried, Julia were disapointed and changed her mind: "I believe everything is possible, but when everything is burried, it's not likely to happen."
Even the 15 years friendship was shaken after the way Lena decided to start ger career.
"We're nto enemis but we haven't been talking to eachother. We're following diferent ways, our own way", Julia explains.
Without stoping working with music, Julia has been working in cinema and has plans for opening a club soon.
"I'm working in a lot of stuff now. My solo career, my movie and I'm opening a bar/club.
"I'm putting myself in these projects.. My life, my mood, my mornings, afternoons and nights", she says excited.
After worldwide fame, Julia wants other kinds of sucess.
"I'm happy right now and it's time to show my fans there's a girl called Julia Volkova too. I'm very diferent nowadays. I'm a woman, mother of two beautiful angels. I wanna fly over the world and I'll do it. I know my fans are always with me. This won't be the last time I'll be visiting South America, it's just the begining".
