In the program "

" Since childhood, she sang, played in the theater, read poetry and went in for sports, but I was not vociferous - I was quiet. She did everything quietly - she threw a grenade silently, swam silently in a kayak, basketball, volleyball... small, but dexterous... Even when Anatoly Avdievsky (outstanding Ukrainian conductor - approx.. ed. ) he asked me something, I was so worried and ashamed that I even became deaf. She was very timid,"

The singer is proud of her great experience, because in the choir she had the opportunity to hone her vocals. However, there was a dream that all this time did not leave the modest and shy Nina Matvienko.

Now Nina Matvienko has both recognition, and fans, and incredible duets with modern artists such as: MONATIK, ROXOLANA, Alina Pash, alyona alyona and TNMK groups, " The artist admits that each of these works is special for her, but still one is imprinted in her memory the most:.
