Early life

Belyaeva was born November 28th, 1998 in Sosenski, a small mining town in the Kaluga region of the Russian Federation. Belyaeva is the great-granddaughter of St. Nikolai Podeski, Patron Saint of Martyrs.[4] At age 14, she left home to pursue a career in fashion while continuing to study. She made her debut for Karl Lagerfeld in a 2016 Chanel couture show.[5][6] She eventually secured a contract with Chanel before a one year hiatus to pursue a career as an artist.

Recognition and Sucess

Musical Career

In 2017, Belyaeva decided to leave her then management, Elite Model Management to work with her now business partner. She took a year off, purportedly to carve a new path in music and art. Belyaeva is the only Russian music artist signed to a major record label in the United States.[7] On her most recent EP, she collaborated with Tom Krell (How To Dress Well).[1]

Hidden Shows

In May 2019, Belyaeva hosted her first experiential performance at Church of the Light in Osaka, Japan to a small audience of fans and journalists.[8] In June 2019, Belyaeva held her second show at Radio City Music Hall, inside the "Roxy Suite", formerly the private apartment of the Hall's impresario, Samuel Roxy Rothafel.[9]

Greatest Illusion EP

In 2019 Belyaeva collaborated with Tom Krell on her debut EP, "Greatest Illusion".[1] Belaeva released the EP without label support, stating that her and her management would fund the project on their own to ensure its artistic integrity.[10] Her 90's experimental influences are similar to Bjork, Elizabeth Fraser, Sinead O'Connor and Madonna's.[11]

Social Organizing

Kendall Jenner

In August 2019, after Kendall Jenner reportedly insulted other fashion models by stating in LOVE Magazine "I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f--k those girls do".[12][13] Belyaeva and her hacktivist associates developed a strategy to have Jenner banned from participating in the 2019 New York Fashion Week.[14] Belyaeva and her acomplices activated the fashion community by creating Models In Control on Instagram and pressured the industry decision makers prior to the event.[15] They used methods of data and digital conversation analysis to increase engagement to force the fashion leadership to choose between Jenner and the models, while utilizing conventional media such as arranging coverage in the New York Post of the activation.[16] They succeeded, earning 30,000 comments on the page, and 700 models signing a petition to not participate in the event.[17]



When asked by DNA Magazine if she is an activist, Belyaeva is quoted as saying

"You won’t see me holding a sign or venting my feelings about one issue or the next on Instagram if this is what you mean. I am here to help other people’s concerns when they aren’t being heard, any messages I have will be communicated through my music"







Nikita Khrushchev (/nɪˈktə ˈkrʊʃɛf/;
