Singer Gabriella talks about moving from Brazil to Russia, motherhood and self-care. Brazilian singer Gabriela (Gabriella Da Silva) Gabriella biography

Singer Gabriella Silva comes from a country where girls are given silicone breasts almost upon reaching adulthood. It is not surprising that the Brazilian beauty, remembered by viewers of the 4th season of the TV show “The Voice”, does not hide her plastic surgery and has a generally positive attitude towards the work of aesthetic surgeons. Gabi has undergone at least 3 appearance corrections and she does not intend to stop there.

What Gabriella says about plastic surgery

Ana Lucia (the singer’s real name) lived most of her life in her homeland and only 6 years ago she moved to Russia, meeting her love in Moscow. This is where she did successful career singer, and the girl was supported in this difficult task by her beloved husband and two charming children. Now the star enjoys communicating with fans and giving interviews, including on such sensitive topics as plastic surgery.

She has a lot to say about surgery in Brazilian: “Such operations are very popular in our country. They are inexpensive, but they are made with high quality. Treat them calmly, the main thing is not to overdo it. Make adjustments and improve your natural abilities - why not? But the completely redesigned appearance is alreadyugly and unfeminine."

Gabriella shares the features of the figure of her compatriots: curvy hips, thin waist and, alas, small breasts. That is why bust augmentation is one of the most popular operations in her homeland: “Indeed, in Brazil, many girls correct the shape and size of their breasts, but not at eighteen years old - that’s too early.”

But it is not popular among Latin girls. Many Russian women who overdid it with fillers would have been mistaken for transvestites in Gabriella’s homeland. However, the star is sure that the most important difference between Brazilian beauties and Russians is that they do not hide their plastic surgery. They talk about it calmly famous people, participate in public shows and share details.

Beautiful breasts are the key to success

Gabriella herself has already adjusted her breast size several times. She placed her first implants 10 years ago: “In Brazil they do such operations very well, there are practically no dissatisfied women. Of course, a lot depends on the professionalism and experience of the doctor. The cost options are different, but it’s definitely not worth saving.”

The singer performed her second breast augmentation surgery in Russia. Firstly, the time has come, and secondly, after the birth of two children, the shape of the breasts changed, and the implants themselves became too hard. Now the 31-year-old pop star flaunts a size 5 and delights fans with sexy photos on Instagram.

Gabriella's intimate plastic surgery

But the girl’s story about her other operation became much more sensational - not so long ago she had vaginoplasty (vaginoplasty) and, with her characteristic frankness, shared the reasons for such a step: “ In Brazil this is considered the norm. After giving birth, women take care of their bodies and, without fear, undergo correction of the intimate area in order to fully regain the fullness of their sexual life.».

IN Lately and in our country this operation is becoming one of the most popular. Its essence is suturing the walls of the vulva stretched as a result of childbirth or medical pathologies, during which excess tissue is excised. At the same time, correction of the labia minora is usually carried out, which makes intimate area not only functionally, but also aesthetically impeccable.

- Gabriella, tell us about yourself, how did the Brazilian singer stay to live and work in Russia?

Started her career in hometown Rio de Janeiro when I was 7 years old. At 12 she was already performing under the banner of the largest record company PolyGram. In Russia, I performed for the first time at the international competition “New Wave”, where I became a finalist and later continued my career in Russia.

On the one hand, this is very honorable and significant. On the other hand, this is a great responsibility, which does not give any room for error. I started singing on stage at the age of 7. I earned this title at the age of 23. My school was constant concerts. Vocational education I have no. My technique was formed during numerous performances. And, of course, I have hearing. But I know that my potential is much greater, so I will definitely continue to study. Although many people don’t believe that I never studied this professionally.

In my family, my aunt on my mother’s side was a professional singer. And my grandfather was a conductor. So I come from an artistic family.

- Yours the main objective– popularity, love of the public or just singing? Who is your most grateful audience?

My dream is public recognition! And most importantly, perform in front of a large audience. It is very important for me to always sing. If I don't sing for a month, I get depressed. After all, this is the only thing I know how to do and my audience is my oxygen.

Both children and adults - all those who like my work.

- What difficulties did you have to cope with in Russia?

At first it was very difficult for me due to my lack of knowledge of the Russian language. But for last couple Over the years I have become better at speaking Russian. And I can even quite safely participate in various television talk shows. Previously, this was unthinkable for me. Of course, the career of a singer is not the easiest profession. But I love my job and have been doing this since childhood. So any difficulties can be overcome.

- Gabriela, what attracts you to Russia?

I really like the culture and architecture of Russia. A very diverse and interesting people. I think Russian girls are the most beautiful!

- Now, looking back, do you regret staying in Russia?

I don't regret it at all. After all, I have a wonderful family and a job I love. What else is needed for happiness?)) Of course, at first it was very difficult for me in Russia, especially in winter. But, over time, I got used to it, I started working, made friends and felt at home! But I still miss my native Rio De Janeiro. Therefore, I try to fly to Brazil 1-2 times a year.

- Tell us how your personal life developed in Moscow? Tell us about your family?

I ended up here precisely because of my personal life. I could never imagine that I would live in Moscow. I met my future husband while on tour in Europe with brazilian show. And after 2 years no simple novel when we flew towards each other, crossing the floor globe, I moved to Moscow.

Today we have two wonderful children. Eldest daughter- Gabriella (5 years old) and son Mikael (2 years old). My mother often flies to Moscow to visit us, and we try to fly to Brazil with the whole family so that the children know about their second homeland.

- Do you have a hobby?

Trips. When there is something rare free time, I'm trying to go to some new place. It helps me to relax and gain strength.

- Who works on your style? What clothes do you prefer on stage and in everyday life?

Now I do my own style. Previously, I had a stylist Oleg Tarnopolsky, who taught me a lot. For this I am very grateful to him. I always choose a sexy and comfortable style. I can't wear low-soled shoes. Always only high heels. My stage costumes very bright and extravagant and very different from everyday clothes.

- Tell us what is happening in your life now, including your creative life?

Now I'm working on a Russian-language album. In the next month I will present my first work in Russian. This is a very sensual and emotional song called "Stop Me". And a little later I will have a very interesting duet With domestic performer. With whom exactly, I will leave it a secret for now.

From numerous photographs it is noticeable that the artist is happy at the opportunity to spend several days in her hometown with her closest people. She enjoys being by the ocean. Gabriella sunbathes on the beach, soaks up the sun and builds sand castles with her daughter.

Fans could once again admire the singer’s chiseled figure in a swimsuit. Apparently, Gabriella is completely happy with her appearance and curves. However, to achieve a chic body, the artist had to turn to specialists. They helped make the celebrity's figure almost perfect. “Yes, I resorted to help plastic surgeons, - a participant in the “Voice” project admitted to StarHit. - My breasts have been done. I think it's cool that it's now possible to correct imperfections through surgery. In Brazil, breast enlargement is generally considered the norm, and no one hides it. In my opinion, if it gives charm to a woman and makes her more attractive, then why not.”

Gabriella also always pays close attention to how she looks. To maintain her beauty, she regularly turns to cosmetologists, but chooses only those masters whom she can trust. She believes that every person is beautiful in their own way, and therefore individuality should be emphasized.

It is very important for an artist to spend as much time as possible surrounded by her husband and daughter. But the artist went home not only to feel herself again in a familiar environment. The sultry Brazilian decided to try herself in business and is going to open her own online store. Since now many are trying to lead healthy image life and play sports, she intends to provide her clients with high-quality and beautiful sportswear. Gabriella will delight all fashionistas with the unique design of various items of clothing, sewn in Brazil from high-quality fabric. The singer promises that in her tracksuits the body will breathe, and bright colors will always set good mood to their owners.

Perhaps the most exotic and energetic vocalist of the project fell in love with Russia not immediately, but forever

The fiery performance of Gabriella (real name Ana Lucia Gomez da Silva) from Rio de Janeiro, who sang and danced a lambada on the Voice stage, impressed only Basta - he alone pressed the button and took the girl to his team. The TV program magazine could not ignore the spectacular singer.

— I was horrified by your winter. But Vitaly found the right words, and we got married. Photo: Ruslan Roshchupkin

“After the broadcast I was answering fans until six in the morning”

— Olá? (“Hello?” in Portuguese. - Ed.)

- Gabriella, good afternoon!

- Oh, sorry, I thought it was my husband.

— How did you end up in our autumn Moscow?

“I watched the previous seasons of the project and, to be honest, I wanted to come earlier. But I was cowardly and afraid of being upset if I didn’t pass. My husband constantly said: what are you afraid of, this is your project! (In her homeland, the singer participated in music TV shows, was repeatedly recognized as the best young voice, and once even became an honorary citizen of Rio. - Author). But I decided only this year. Apparently the time has come. Now I'm happy!

— Was everything smooth at the casting?

— I came in a beautiful open dress in the colors of the national Brazilian flag. I'm a singer - I need to show myself! No one could come to the selection. It was necessary to sing in Russian. And even though I’ve been living in Russia for seven years, I don’t speak Russian perfectly. There were very strong guys there who sing great. But they greeted me well - they took me in and wished me good luck. True, I’m still worried (laughs).

- Your Russian is good. Did your husband teach you? How did you meet him?

— I flew to Moscow to dance a show as part of a group of 37 girls. We had a program, and businessman Vitaly came to one of the performances. He started coming to my concerts, and one day when I was getting ready to go to the hotel, he came up and started talking. That’s how we met and started communicating.

— Didn’t let you go home?

- No, of course, he couldn’t do that, I had a contract. I returned to Brazil, but flew to Moscow. I have family in Rio. Vitaly himself flew to me four months later and met his relatives. We returned to Russia again. It was very difficult: I was left without a career, work, friends. I didn't speak Russian. I sat at home and went about my daily life, but I felt like I was visiting. Besides, I can't help but sing. Then winter came - it was terrible! I started to feel depressed. I couldn't stand it and went home. First Vitaly flew to me, then I came to him in Moscow. This went on for two years. After some time, Vitaly finally found the right words, persuaded me, and two years later we got married.

- How did he lure you?

“He said that he would help me with my career, that I would sing. That he will change as a man, work on himself and our relationship, and everything will be fine with us. He kept his word. In 2010, I sang on the “New Wave”, and after that they began to invite me to perform at events, in restaurants, at corporate parties, act in TV shows and commercials. I think after “The Voice” there will be an even greater surge in attention (laughs). They're already writing to me! On Instagram, VKontakte, Facebook. At first I tried to answer everyone and only went to bed at six in the morning. But after I woke up, I saw that there were even more messages. Then I realized that I simply could not answer everyone, and recorded a general video message. People wrote to me a lot kind words- and grandfathers, and grandmothers, and young people.

— Surely not everything went so smoothly when you first arrived. How did people react to you when they saw you with your husband? Didn't you whisper behind your back?

— We live in the Moscow region, and different things happened. Of course they said something. I felt it. I won’t say that I was very worried. I always try to smile. If people look at me askance, I won’t say anything, I’ll just distance myself. I don’t like arrogant people: “I’m cool, and everyone else is nothing.” I like people with good energy and good mood. Negativity doesn't bother me. They probably reacted to me this way because I was completely black (laughs). Now, having lived in Russia, she has become much lighter, almost white!

“I started singing in a restaurant at the age of seven”

— What did you do in Brazil before leaving for Russia?

- Sang. For as long as I can remember, this is all I did. My uncle is a conductor, my aunt is a singer who sings Portuguese songs, bossa nova. So, from the age of seven, I sang in bars and restaurants.

- From the age of seven?!

- Yes! This is normal in our country. I didn’t graduate from any music schools, I grew up on stage. At the age of 12 I started singing in a group. We were very famous, and then our popularity began to decline. It is forbidden for a long time to be at the top at a young age.

— Do you miss those times?

— Yes... Brazil is the sun, the beach and the carnival. I performed at carnivals, when a car slowly drives through the city, and there is a stage on its roof. There we danced and sang. Crowds of people come and watch, dance with us. Crazy energy!

— You are in excellent shape - you probably train from morning to evening? Are you building your buttocks and on a diet?

- Nothing! No diets. Fitness is very rare. I just love to dance. And beauty, probably, comes from nature. I feel like a little girl, maybe that helps. Gabriella! Don't do that! Mom will punish you. Sorry, it's me for the kids. While we are talking, one is sitting on one of my legs, the other on the other.

— What language do you usually speak at home?

— I speak only Portuguese with my husband. He learned it quite well in the eight years we were together. Our language is easy.

- What about children?

— Gabriella, she is 6 years old, speaks three languages: Russian, English and Portuguese. My son Mikael is 2 years old, and he still speaks his special language. Of course, he knows the basic Russian words: “thank you”, “give”, “fell”. So we are half Brazilian, half Russian.

—What are they interested in?

— Gabriella is engaged in dancing and singing. The son sees how she dances, moves, and tries to copy. So, I think that soon we will have a dance group.

— How did you react to the snow when you first saw it?

- I like it. But after two days I began to think: “God! When will it end?" (laughs). The bathhouse also made an unusual impression on me. They beat me with a broom, and then they called me outside and put me in a huge cauldron, which was heated on a small fire. When I told my mother about this, she started calling Vitaly. I was afraid that they were mocking me. We barely managed to explain that this was just a spa treatment.

— Are you trying to help your family? The economic situation in Brazil is difficult.

- In our country serious problems. There is poverty and homelessness. I feel sorry for them, so I try to send money to the family and help loved ones. Before I moved to Russia, I had an apartment and a car. But two days before my wedding, my car was stolen and my house collapsed.

- Like this?

— We bought an apartment on the fifth floor in a new building near the beach. But the designers made a mistake, and a large crack appeared throughout the house. We were told that we needed to leave immediately. We began frantically looking for housing to put our things and furniture. Then we flew to the wedding, and when we returned, we rented it for my mother nice apartment. And then new house bought. Now my mother lives in Rio with her sister.
