Formed in 2007 O.na are an exciting new band who are soon to hit the Russian music scene. With famed producer HarDrum writing and producing songs for these amazingly beautiful and talented young women, what’s not to love?

Unlike many bands which are forced to bend to the record labels demand, both artistically and creatively, O.na have been free from this and many other restrictions. With this level of freedom available to them, the girls have come up with many tracks which are true to their hearts and true to themselves. Their image, the content of the songs, their overall look, everything is decided by the girls. With this freedom the bands wish is to build a close relationship with their fans - instead of showing off a false on-stage persona like so many other artists.

Their music is a unique blend of dance, rock, pop and electro. Combining together elements from each genre they create something unique and exciting with their vocals taking the music to another level.

O.na’s first single will hit the Russian music scene in 2008, the video for the single will be shot during the first week of January 2008 in the UK!
Tracks

So far, there are these songs:

- Nerazdelimi
Produced and composed by HarDrum, lyrics by Evgeniya Maximova. It's a fabulous combination of pop, rock and electronic music. It has an excellent rythm and is definitely a new hit on the Russian scene. All tracks can be found on O.na's MySpace.

Nerazdelimi

Podari drugim
Slov polet
Narisovan ot ruki
Tvoi schtrih-kod

Veter samolet
Mne k plechu
Tuda gde muzika zhivet
Ulechu

Muzika I ya – nerazdelimi
v etoi roli mi ne ulovimi

Drugoi chuzhoi
Beri s soboi
Etot mir tvoi

Proletayu mimo etoi drami
Otpravlyayu v nebo piktogrammu

Hochu krichat
Goret i pet
Vetrom letet

Zadrozhit vo mne
Tvoi priboi
Ya ostavila sebe
Golos tvoi

Budu ot tebya
Daleko
Tam gde muzika zhivet
Mne legko


Undivided

Present others
With flight of words
I drew with my own hands
Your barcode

Wind-aircraft
Up to my shoulder
Where music lives
I’ll fly

The music and I are undivided
We can’t be caught in this role

Different, not native
Take with yourself
Your world

I fly across this drama
I send a pictogram into the sky

I want to scream
I want to feel hot and sing
And fly like wind

Tremble in me
Your waves
I left to myself
Your voice

I’ll be far away from you
Where music lives
It’s easy for me

- Labels
Labels is O.na's second track. The musical structure is still unknown, but there are lyrics revealed. They are symbolic and deep, talking about how we should not underastimate, hate, undervalue or be afraid of different people - we should just accept them.

Labels

Music: HarDrum
Lyrics: Ev, D.B., S. Blake
Producer: HarDrum

Open up your eyes
We are not one size
Don't you see the lies?

You perk up your ears
And give in to fear
But freedom's so near!
Ne boisia!*

I've got the key, to unlock your mind
Open your eyes to the world and find
People who like to toe the party line
Put your hand in mine, together we will
Fly...

If there's one thing that I can guarantee
Tear off the labels
It's that our temperature's the same degree
Tear off the labels

I hate that you stare at us shamefully
Tear off the labels
Just follow our lead and finally...
Tear off the labels

You begin your speech
But berate not teach
Who are you to preach?

Open up your mind
Wonder what you'll find?
Let me be your guide
Ne boisia!*

*For non-Russian speakers, the term "Ne Boisia" means "Don't fear".

Olga - 19th March 1987

http://a563.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...bcd4a2f97a.jpg

Olga is a girl of many talents, and holds a wide range of interests and hobbies. During her school years she was a professional volleyball player, with her team regularly taking the first place in Moscow. From playing volleyball, Olga developed a healthy attitude to problem solving - attack the problem head on, not to turn and run away from the obstacle facing her. She believes that through favorite activities you can find ways within yourself to help you navigate your way in life. Unfortunately due to a leg injury Olga had to give up her place on the volleyball team. This wasn’t all a loss and instead she turned her focus to two other interests - Music and Television.

From a young age, it wasn’t enough for Olga to just watch television, she was eager to be a part of the television media. Starting from the 8th Form, Olga began to take part in small roles as an actress on MTV Russia. At the same time, Olga’s ambition was to become a journalist. Whilst she held a column in the local newspaper she began to write several books. Incidentally, Olga’s first big story was written when she was just 5 years old.

Olga lives life to the full; she enjoys a fast paced life. She loves to travel, meet new people, attend exciting events, and experience new emotions. She is determined to experience everything that life can offer.

Olga believes you can begin to change your way of life by changing how you perceive life, and how life perceives you, your style and your attitude. Olga changes constantly, her appearance is always evolving with her latest inspirations and experiences.

In 2004, at her parents’ wishes, Olga entered the University of Economics, Statistics and Computing. Her specialty is within Advertising and Statistics. In the beginning Olga’s parents didn’t take her interest in television and music seriously, they were against any efforts she made to help herself evolve in this area. Olga continued to work within the industry as an extra on TV projects and joined a band in early 2006. Due to certain problems within the band, the situation became unworkable, and so Olga left. After the departure from the first band, Olga began to work within MTV Russia as a producer-assistant on many programs (her duties included composing speeches and choosing topics and characters for the programs). At the same time she entered the Russian Ostankino TV Center, studying within the specialty of VJ and Radio DJ.

Olga was studying at two universities whilst working for MTV, after only 6 months, her experiences had helped her to decide that this is the area in which she wished to continue. She wanted to reach a larger audience and share her feelings with the world.

In spring 2007, with some of her friends, a new and more professional project began – O.na. Within days of beginning, Olga began to take vocal lessons regularly with Nastya and a top vocal coach. The girls want to be ready to perform live shows for their fans as soon as the music is ready. At the same time as she began to work with Nastya, Olga finished her studies at the Ostankino TV Center, gaining a diploma of only the highest marks. Consequently she was offered a position as a VJ on a popular channel. As discussions of the new job were underway, it was shown in her contract that whilst Olga was employed by the channel she would be unable to participate in any other projects. This would have excluded Olga from her music career. Olga decided not to take the job as VJ and instead focus fully on her new career - O.na.

"It’s the only thing I kept wanting throughout my whole life. To sing and to perform! I feel that I have a lot to share, and I want to scream about all the emotions and feelings that fill my inside world. For me, O.na is a chance to speak to the whole world, to put a smile on its face and even tackle some political problems. I have so much energy inside and wish to put it into something really global".

Nastya - 26th November 1989

http://a85.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/...f0e13dcbcc.jpg

Nastya is the younger of the two girls, yet she is the more technically minded. Nastya loves photography and photoshop. She loves to take photographs of any situation, nature or portraits, and using her skills, enhance the beauty within these pictures. Nastya is also interested in web design and has earned some money working as a web designer, making websites and logos for different companies.

"In general I think the Internet gives lots of opportunities for each individual to express their creative skills".

Nastya’s hobbies range from swimming, to skating, to dancing and drawing! Music and performance are a big part of Nastya’s life. In her childhood Nastya learned to play the flute and took vocal lessons regularly.

In her spare time she loves to go to the movies or the theater. Nastya prefers not to watch horror films, "I like something more touching, with good ideas in it. Films should be smart! They should make people think, make people forget about their own problems. There’s no point in watching maniacs on screen, surrounding yourself in such darkness, when it already exists in real life."

To begin with, Nastya wanted to be a journalist, she liked taking interviews, any kind of job that allowed her creative freedom. In general she is keener on humanities so in 2006 she entered the Moscow Pedagogical University and started to study subjects such as Journalism, Philology, Rhetoric’s and lots of Russian literature.

Although she holds an interest in these subjects, she can find a limit to her capacity for enjoyment within this area. Joining O.na allowed Nastya a medium to show all her skills. She drew on her experiences from her early vocal lessons and applied them to their most recent work with a vocal coach. Nastya actively helped in the groups early photo sessions by performing the editing work herself.

"When we sing together with common emotions, with such an understand of each other - without all these useless words - where everything in your inside world sings with you - it’s pure happiness, and we want all the world to sing with us".
