Angela is a top singer and model from Ukraine. She also recently won the ‘Ms Top Ukraine’ beauty contest. Here she talks to ESC Covers about her plans for the future including new songs and charity concerts.
Did the war affect you and your career?
In general, I am worried that we are moving in the direction of sorrow, but we should carry more light. I leave all the entertainment songs up for auction if people want to listen to them additionally. And in principle, my program has changed, that I have a block of love lyrics and a block of social lyrics, I try to keep a balance, because sadness is not a very productive emotion. I give a little sadness and light.
Tell us about your victory in the “Ms Top Ukraine” contest?
It has always been my dream to take part in a beauty pageant. I found out about the contest on the internet, wrote to them on the official page, submitted an application for the contest, went through castings, waited for answers, gave an interview. The main thing is to externally meet the parameters of the competition. I was suitable for age, height, external data and talents. The event took place in the format of a show-festival, in a friendly atmosphere and a playful mood. Of course, there were moments when I received my crown or other participants took prize places, the rest of the girls were upset, but they still supported and congratulated me on the victory.
I received very positive emotions from the participation process, and the most important thing in life is to be able to enjoy what you do. Of course, I dreamed of winning, because I always believed in myself and my abilities. But I always believe that it is important not only to win, but also to participate and try my best. I tried to show my true self and convey my values. The key to victory is faith and visualization of the dream. I am in harmony with myself and I am surrounded by the best people. She believed that she was worthy of the “Ms Top Ukraine 2023” crown. Charisma, honesty, kindness in treating other people – these are the qualities I cultivate in myself. And that’s why winning was a special joy for me and a recognition of my work and positive energy. Ribbon and crown are the most important gifts. During the preparation for the competition, proposals were received from some brands and campaigns. During the contest itself and when I already received the title “Ms Top Ukraine 2023”, of course, there were much more of them.
What charity events have you participated in or will you participate in in the near future?
I took part in the “Charity Queen of Ukraine” charity event. The main purpose of which was to help the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 68th Brigade with a request to buy a thermal imager for their battalion. And we did it with pleasure. As a sign of gratitude, the boys handed over the flag of Ukraine. Now I go on stage with him – this is my pride and amulet. Honestly, I am very happy that I am Ukrainian. It is with great honour that I sing for our military at charity events. I feel that this is my calling, that this is my mission at this time. I enjoy giving joy to people, sharing my experience, financially helping the army and people affected by the war. My main message: it’s never too late to start something, don’t give up.
What projects and performances are planned in the near future?
I plan to realise myself in all senses of the word, at the level of the fashion industry and in the music field. I have always been interested in creativity, and participation in the competition inspired me to start creating my own clothing line. I want to share my experience, teach girls to reveal themselves and show all their inner qualities, to be themselves. I have a planner for 5 months that is completely painted.
This Christmas, I will perform at the New Year’s event in the very center of the capital, in the concert hall of the Hotel “Ukraine”. In the Christmas music project, performances by stars are expected, which will be combined with warm conversations with the heroes of the new time – volunteers, representatives of the cultural and volunteer fronts. In such a difficult time for the country, project participants united to create.
