The history of the artist's career
Kazhanna is a Ukrainian singer, blogger and songwriter, a new TikTok star, whose real name is Hanna Makiyenko. The singer is originally from Poltava, recently lived in Odessa and has been in Kyiv since 2024. No one in the girl's family was connected with the sphere of culture and was not engaged in creativity. Instead, Hanna chose a future for herself on the big stage. Since childhood, the girl was fond of music. Later, she received an acting education, which allowed her to work in the theater. However, the young actress decided to leave this profession, as she was afraid that the monotony would limit her creative flight.According to Anna, she always played comedic roles and did not feel serious enough for deeper images. Makienko noted that she would not be able to play the same role for a long time, as it would be exhausting. In addition, the girl had a bright natural charisma, which was worth showing off to a larger audience. Interestingly, in parallel with her creative activity, Anna had a completely ordinary, uncreative job. The performer recalls that she tried herself in different areas: from making sushi and pizza to working as a picker in a warehouse. Anna repeatedly went on night shifts, getting tired and sleeping for several hours. And in the evening, a performance awaited her, where Anna played the main role. The artist noted that this experience was incredibly useful and interesting.
Despite her deep attachment to Kyiv, Hanna Makienko decided to move to Odessa, following the call of her heart. This step became an important stage in her life, opening up new horizons and opportunities. Southern Palmyra with its unique atmosphere and energetic rhythm became not only a new home for Hanna, but also a source of creative inspiration. The girl made the decision to start a musical career by choosing a pseudonym that reflected her unique image. According to Hanna, ordinary names and surnames are often used in Ukrainian music, so she decided to come up with something more expressive. The artist remembered that she associates herself with the image of a goth, and decided to combine "bat" and "Anna", forming the nickname "Kazhanna". Hanna is sure that this name perfectly conveys her style and energy.
