Katya likes to sing, dance, play the piano, play on the computer, travel, collect stickers, educate a younger sister and do the hair to the terrier Terry. Favorite Kate’s artists are Dima Bilan, Serebro (both are former Russian representatives at the Eurovision Song contest), Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera. Katya also likes folk music, but in modern arrangement.
Katya’s favorite quotation: "Only one thing makes our dream impossible- it is a fear of failure" (from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho).
A young singer is allegedly worried before any concert. But when she steps on stage these worries are carried away at once. Katya is sure that the reaction of the hall helps her to cope with worries.
