Biography
Natalia Gordienko is a Moldovan singer and dancer. She was born in the capital Chișinău. When she was 10 years old, she already performed in a show called Zolotoy Klyutchik. After finishing highschool, Natalia joined the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, in the Pop and Jazz Vocal section.
She was the lead singer of the band Millennium. The band took part in the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest and took part in the Golden Deer International Contest in Romania. In 2006, she was chosen to represent Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest together with Arsenium and Connect-R. A year later, she won the New Wave Song Contest in Belarus.
Natalia’s debut album “Time” was released in 2010, followed by a second album, “Cununa de flori” in 2011. In 2015, she released a new single called “Summertime”.
Natalia Gordienko was chosen to represent Moldova again in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Prison”. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen due to the cancellation of the contest. She was, however, invited to represent Moldova in the 2021 contest. The same team from “Prison” also wrote “Sugar” for her, the entry she sang in 2021. Natalia reached the final with her song. The follow up of the song, “High heels”, reached the charts in Spain.
