Anastasia Petrik how old is now. Igor Petrik - about how he made the winner of the "Junior Eurovision" out of his daughter

The name of a nine-year-old resident of the village of Nerubayskoye, Odessa region, is now known to all of Europe. Nastya Petrik won the most prestigious international song contest. Previously, she took part in the show "Ukraine Got Talent", won the "Children's New Wave-2009", sang a duet with Philip Kirkorov and Nina Matvienko.

Returning from Amsterdam, where the Junior Eurovision took place, Nastya's father IGOR PETRIK told Izvestia in Ukraine how Igor Krutoy helped them and why they do not buy Nastya an expensive phone.

music shock

The day after Nastya's victory at Eurovision, information appeared on the Internet that the President congratulated your daughter. Did he personally call?

No, of course not. At least he didn't call us. Moreover, I myself do not yet have this information, although I was with Nastya in Amsterdam all the time. I admit that the president could convey congratulations through his press service. After all, we brought victory not only for ourselves, but for the state. Nastya was also congratulated by Sofia Rotaru and Philip Kirkorov.

Will the next competition be held in Ukraine?

Petro Poroshenko, who paid for Nastya's participation in Eurovision, was also in Amsterdam, rejoiced at the victory with us, jumped with the flag, worried about Nastya. Seeing that Ukraine had won, he was slightly shocked and said: "Let's do everything we need to make the next Eurovision be held here." As far as I know, Ukraine has already submitted an application to the ABU, the organization that hosts Eurovision. Now it's up to them.

The appearance of Nastia at any concert, television show evokes general condolences. I remember how the same Kirkorov, Krutoy, admired her. Do they help Nastya or are they limited to compliments?

Support, but not financially. Twice a year we always work with the production company of Igor Krutoy: in the summer in Artek, on the Children's New Wave, in the winter on the Christmas Song of the Year, which we are going to record the other day. This, of course, is a very important support for girls, both for Nastya and her older sister Vika.

And do you have to fill up with sponsors or do they themselves express a desire to help?

No, of course, what is there themselves, they are not up to it. Petro Poroshenko, for example, is very busy. Firstly, he is a minister, and secondly, he has a lot of his own affairs. But in 2008 we worked with him at Eurovision - then our eldest daughter Vika took the third place. This year we decided to ask for help again. And they helped us.

Is it expensive to send a child to an international competition?

Yes, very expensive pleasure. But after all, all countries send their participants at the expense of the state. Everywhere there are government programs, believe me, we communicate with representatives of different countries.

We, as I understand it, this tradition has not taken root?

It turns out that this is so, since we are forced each time to independently look for money in order to take the child to one or another competition. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you exactly how much this will cost, because each time the budget is different. It's one thing to go to a post-Soviet country, and quite another - far abroad, where you need a flight. Thank God, there are people who believe in us and support children. If not for them, no one would have even heard of Ukraine. This fall, Petro Poroshenko opened his factory in Vinnitsa, our Vika spoke, and after that she made a speech: "Peter Alekseevich is a person who not only speaks, but also does."

Nastia has vast experience in performing. Was she worried at Eurovision?

Yes, but it is a healthy excitement that is always present, no matter how experienced the artist is. After all, when there healthy competition Naturally, there is also excitement. Moreover, if you represent the state, you come under the flag of Ukraine. But we know how to cheer up girls, what and when to say to support them. There are specific approaches.

To all parents, I would like to say only one thing: there are no untalented children, there are lazy parents who do not pay attention to their children. It is not necessary that if a child sings or dances well, he can read poetry well or be the best in any sport. It is necessary to determine this in time and do what the child loves. Only in this case he will turn out to be a very good, talented person.

Singing sisters

They say that children whose talents are actively developed by their parents do not have a childhood...

There is no childhood for children who hang around the doorways. When they are in young age they try what cigarettes, alcohol are, then childhood ends very quickly. And if Nastya is already building a career at this age, she already knows what she will do in life, I think that this is only good.

And if I say that my children do not have a childhood, because they do not drink sparkling water and do not gnaw crackers, it’s even for the better, there are few health benefits in these products.

How busy is Nastya's schedule? Does she have time to study, play with friends?

Wherever we go, children have friends everywhere, in any country in the world. And in whatever environment the competitions take place, girls are interested everywhere. And at school we have free attendance, but when we return from another trip, we always catch up with the program.

How does Nastya study?

Well, like all children. She is not an excellent student. We try to make sure that our children do not stand out. They go to school in normal clothes, like everyone else. We don't buy them fancy phones because we don't want them to be looked down upon.

Girls do not feel the envy of their peers? Still, they travel all over the world, communicate with stars of the first magnitude, they have so many fans ...

I think no. Once, in the beginning, something like that slipped. But we just explained to both: in order to achieve such results, you need to work a lot on yourself. And what is there to envy? When all the children in Artek go to the beach, our girls do not allow themselves this, because they are preparing for the competition, trying to show a good result. And when classmates stick to the TV after school, our children leave for vocals and return home when it's time to go to bed.

How does Nastya see her future?

As long as they both like to sing. If they didn't want to, we just wouldn't do it. God willing, if everything goes well with health and also works out, we will work in this direction, expanding our horizons. We do not want to stop at the level of only our country. I wanted the names of the Petrik sisters to be heard all over the world. After all, it happened to the Klitschko brothers. Why don't we try?

Childhood

For the first time, Nastya Petryk was talked about after the show “Ukraine May Talent!”. Then she spoke to a professional jury with her sister Vika.

“When I found out the results of the competition, I was so happy and squealed so much that my voice was dead,” shared Tatyana Petrik. After Igor Krutoy told her that her daughters are very talented and you need to work with them and support this God's spark.
