Parents-architects moved to the Tula region when the baby was 2 years old, and there the future singer took the first steps in the musical career, inspiring the romance in the performance of the grandfather and listening to the history about the youth rock group of the mother.
Surrounded by toys, among which the honorable place was occupied by flute, harmonica, harp and metallophone, Ksenia since childhood dreamed of a real piano. But such a tool could not fit in an ordinary apartment, and relatives bought a piano and gave the daughter to teach talented Tula teachers.
School years, Ksyu recalled as "forced acquaintance with music," and when the graduation concert stayed behind, the girl took up the vocal and in 1997 organized their own adolescent group Alter Ago. In the repertoire of the team, the composition of the cult team Nirvana prevailed, but there were own songs that Ksenia performed under the guitar. The main themes of the early creativity, the bright example of which the youth hit "The abyss" was loneliness, depression and reluctance to live.
