After returning to her homeland, she had a desire to create her own team. Then a pseudonym arose - Karina Koks. Her biography as a singer begins during this period. By that time, she was already writing songs and soon gathered a group called Discovery. There were two girls in the group. These are Karina's friends - Ira and Dasha, who were professional dancers. The soloist performed songs exclusively on English language. The band members expected to gain great popularity, but they failed to realize this dream. The group gained notoriety only in certain circles.

"Cream"

At one of the performances in a nightclub, the producer became interested in the team. Asking the girls to perform something in Russian, he was satisfied and invited the participants to sign a contract with him. After that, the Slivki group was formed, in the repertoire of which songs began to sound only in Russian. The soloist of the group was Karina Koks (photo on the right), who herself wrote most of the songs. "Cream" released seven albums, the first of which was called "First Spring". It was released in 2001. And in 2008, the last album was released, which was a collection of hits.

In 2011, her next video was filmed for the song "Everything is decided." She wrote the words and script for the video herself. The director was Konstantin Cherepkov, who became famous for two videos he shot for Timati.

Singer's personal life

In 2008, Karina Koks broke up with businessman Ivan Henson. Together they stayed for three years. But their relationship went nowhere.

The next lover of the star was DJ Eduard Magaev. Karina and Eduard began to live together, having decided to register their relationship on 12/12/2012. Two months later, the couple filed an application with the registry office. It turned out that not only they were in a hurry to "legitimize" that day. At the Wedding Palace, the lovers met rapper Dzhigan with his bride Oksana.

Karina and Eduard did not choose the date by chance. For them, it is symbolic, since both of them were born on the same day - 20.12.

For the solemn moment, the couple carefully prepared. Karina ordered a wedding dress from famous fashion designers Endourova and Chistova. But, unfortunately, the dress for the wedding day was not enough for the bride: the singer was on last month pregnancy. I had to go to the registry office in a bright outfit with a snake print. But this did not bother the woman, because our heroine is Karina Koks. The biography of the four Mygaevs began its history on December 12, 2012.

Eduard and Karina chose the original rings - made of white gold, inlaid with white diamonds for her, black diamonds and Roman numeral 12 for him.
The wedding of the young people took place in a narrow family circle, and already on December 19, 2012, Karina Koks and her husband became the happy parents of Camilla. Initially, our heroine planned to give birth in Israel, but changed her mind, and the girl was born in Moscow.

Until the eighth month, Cox performed. On stage, she wore layered dresses and high heels to hide her interesting position and avoid unnecessary gossip.

Her biography as a mother began a little tragically. On the first day when Karina came home with the baby, Camilla cried a lot. Our heroine, frightened for her daughter, cried with her. Then her longtime friend Angina from the Star Factory came to the rescue, who by that time already had two children. She brought everything you needed and told you how and what to do.
