Biography of Aguzarova
Zhanna Aguzarova was born on July 7, 1962 in the village of Turtas (Tyumen region). She grew up and was brought up in a family that has nothing to do with show business. Her father, Hasan, was Ossetian and lived separately from his family. Mother, Lyudmila Savchenko, worked as a pharmacist.
Zhanna spent all her childhood in the village of Boyarka, located in the Novosibirsk region, where her mother was from. After receiving the certificate, she repeatedly tried to enter the theater school and moreover in different cities.
However, each time Aguzarova failed the exams, as a result of which she became a student at the Moscow vocational school number 187, choosing the specialty of a painter. It is worth noting that the singer carefully hides the details of her personal biography, so you can find conflicting information in various sources.
Soon Jeanne found herself in the "elite" circles of the capital, in which she was known under the pseudonym Ivanna Anders. According to the artist herself, she was forced to live under a pseudonym due to the loss of her passport, while in the forged one she changed the name from “Ivan” to “Ivanna”, posing as the daughter of Swedish diplomats.
Music
In the early 80s, Aguzarova closely communicated with rock musicians, trying to connect her life with the stage. Initially, she unsuccessfully tried to get a job as a vocalist in the "Crematorium" group.
In 1983, Jeanne managed to get a place in the Postscriptum collective, which would later be renamed to Bravo. An interesting fact is that already the first 20-minute tape of the group with a new performer has gained great popularity.
As you know, in that era, the Soviet government waged a serious struggle not only with dissidents, but also with rock musicians. According to the government, rock negatively affected young people and spoiled the classic image of the Soviet artist.
In 1984, during one of the campaigns of persecution of rockers, Zhanna Aguzarova, along with other musicians, was arrested right on the stage. When law enforcement officers found a fake passport on the girl, they placed her in a cell at Butyrskaya prison for a short time.
Soon Aguzarova was registered at the Institute of Forensic Psychiatry, where she was recognized as sane and sent for a year and a half to forced labor in the timber industry.
Returning to the capital, Zhanna continued her performance with Bravo. Every year the group gained more and more popularity, as a result of which it began to be shown on television. The extravagant singer received praise from critics, and also received compliments from Alla Pugacheva herself.
Such hits as "I Believe", "Leningrad Rock and Roll", "Old Hotel", "Yellow Shoes", "Be with Me" and other songs received particular popularity in the performance of Aguzarova.
It is curious that the singer is the author of the music and text of 4 compositions: "I feel good next to you", "Marina", "Zimushka" and "Touching Yesenin". In 1987, the hit "Wonderful Country" was used as the soundtrack for the famous drama "Assa".
In 1988 Zhanna left Bravo and decided to pursue a solo career. The following year, she performed with new compositions on the Musical Ring TV program.
A couple of years later, Aguzarova received higher education, graduating from the Musical College named after. Ippolitova-Ivanova. At the same time, her solo disc "Russian Album" was released. Then she worked for a short time at the Alla Pugacheva Theater. But due to a quarrel with the prima donna, she had to quit.
After the collapse of the USSR, Jeanne went to America, where she worked in one of the restaurants in Los Angeles. But even here she did not stay long. The management of the restaurant did not like the fact that during her performances the singer often resorted to improvisation.
In the USA, Aguzarova graduated from DJ courses and began working with rock musician Vasily Shumov. Together with Shumov, she recorded the disc "Nineteen Ninety`s", which was a series of remakes of the songs of the "Center" group.
In 1993 Zhanna returned to Russia, where she took part in the big tour "Bravo", timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the band. After 3 years, she finally settled in the Russian Federation. Later, her solo discography was replenished with the album "Back2Future".
However, Aguzarova was no longer able to regain the popularity that she had before the collapse of the USSR as part of "Bravo". Now the singer mostly performs in clubs, performing mostly old hits.
For her charismatic character and bright style of clothing, journalists called the girl “the goddess of outrageousness”. An interesting fact is that Jeanne often declared her extraterrestrial origin and "communication" with the Martians. She also talked about this in the program "Evening Urgant", which aired on television in 2015.
Personal life
Aguzarova's first husband was an oceanologist named Ilya. In one of the interviews, the man admitted that while in prison, Jeanne had mental problems.
After parting with Ilya, the artist went to the United States with Timur Murtazaev, ex-bassist of "Bravo". Soon, the young people decided to leave. Her second common-law husband was Nikolai Poltoranin, who for some time was her producer.
Poltoranin "promoted" Jeanne's work in America as best he could, but he could not achieve much success. As a result, the “goddess of outrageousness” returned to Russia, while Nikolai remained in the United States. After that, there was no reliable information about the woman's further biography.
As of today, Aguzarova has no children and leads a reclusive lifestyle, communicating only with close friends. She has repeatedly resorted to plastic surgery, which is evident from her appearance.
