The debut album “Rap” by Lika Star, whose real name was Lika Pavlova, was released in 1993. With the pseudonym, the aspiring singer did not fail, because it is not for nothing that they say: “How do you call a ship …”. And Lika immediately found herself not in a fragile boat, on which the debutante is trying to ride a wave, but immediately on a snow-white liner, which proudly and confidently made its way.
Lika immediately attracted the attention of the public with a genre atypical for the stage of those years: while everyone was “labeling” primitive pop or chanson, Star was giving out trip-hop compositions, rap and hip-house.
It is not surprising that the music video for the debut single “Let it rain” won the then prestigious award at the Generation-93 festival. After that, everything was only on the upswing. In 1996, the song “Lonely Moon” was released, which would become a hallmark of the singer. Fedor Bondarchuk and Gosha Kutsenko starred in the video for this song. Other Like clips were shot by Philip Yankovsky, who was a sought-after clip creator at the time.

In general, Star quickly became the most fashionable singer of the era. What epithets the press did not reward her with! Lika was called the “Russian Madonna”, she was awarded the title of “the first DJ girl” and “the first rap artist of the USSR and Russia” (and Lika really started at this party, performing under the pseudonym Lika MC in the late 80s). Lika was filmed in Playboy, constantly invited to television …
But in the early 2000s, Star suddenly disappeared from view. Then there were rumors that Alla Pugacheva could block her oxygen on stage. Including her alleged affair with Vladimir Presnyakov, the youngest, who was still with Kristina Orbakaite at the time.
But in fact, in 2002, on a tour in Tallinn, Lika met the Italian designer Angelo Secci. A year later, she married him and moved to Italy, where she still lives today. The couple has two children together: son Marc and daughter Allegra. Lika also has a son from a previous relationship, whom she took with her (the boy’s father died in 2011).


Commenting on her exit from the stage, Star did not deny that she indeed had “some conflict” with Pugacheva, but all this has nothing to do with how her career ultimately developed.
In Italy, Lika is engaged in business, but from old memory she sometimes gives concerts in Russia, where she delights fans with old hits.
