MARUV

Provocative, disturbing, and scandalous, Maruv (real name Anna Korsun) is always on the edge in her music and live performances. Born in Pavlohrad (Ukraine) on February 15, 1991, Anna Korsun studied music and dance during her school years. In 2013, she founded a music band named Pringlez. The band took part in the New Wave 2015 song competition (Sochi, Russia) and one year later - in the Ukrainian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2017, the band moved to Kyiv and changed its name to Maruv. The next year, together with DJ and sound producer Boosin, she released her first solo track “Спини” (Stop Me), a dance composition in Ukrainian, and decided to launch her solo career under the name of Maruv. Her next track with Boosin, English-language "Drunk Groove" became multi-platinum and held the first position in the Shazam chart for 18 weeks. The composition "Focus on Me" followed this success. Maruv’s debuting album Black Water was released in 2018, the No Name album – in 2021. In 2020, Maruv presented her side project Shlakoblochina, a more daring, sexy, and provocative singer’s alter-ego. Subsequently, Maruv worked with Filipp Kirkorov, Faruk Sabanci, and Jah Khalib. Maruv won Best Russian Act on MTV Russia Music Awards in 2019.
