When 8-year-old Anna Volkova stepped onto the stage of The Voice Kids Russia in 2021, no one could have predicted the power that would come from such a small figure. With her soft smile and quiet confidence, Anna introduced herself, and moments later, began singing Celine Dion’s iconic ballad My Heart Will Go On — and from the very first note, the entire room froze.
Her voice, full of emotion and clarity, felt timeless. In just four seconds, judge Egor Kreed slammed his button and turned his chair — instantly captivated by the purity of Anna’s tone. It wasn’t just a good performance. It was a moment. A moment of rare talent that seemed to transcend age or experience.
A Life Already Filled with Art
Anna was born on November 3, 2012, in Moscow. From a very early age, she immersed herself in creativity. She studied not only voice, but also piano, flute, dance, acting, and even gymnastics. Whether in music school or on stage with youth performance groups, Anna seemed drawn to expression in all forms.
She wasn’t new to the spotlight, either. Before The Voice Kids, she had already appeared in children’s shows, performed with ensembles, and won vocal competitions. But there was something different about this stage — something magical in the way she delivered a song known and loved by millions around the world.
Turning a Classic Into Her Own Story
Singing My Heart Will Go On is a bold choice for any singer, let alone a child. But Anna brought something fresh to it. Her performance wasn’t about copying Celine Dion — it was about feeling the song from her own heart. Her voice carried a softness that still had strength. Her control, her poise, her connection with the music — it all felt real.
That sincerity is what moved the judges. And the audience. And later, millions of viewers online.
After The Voice Kids, Anna didn’t disappear. She continued developing her talents, balancing school with her love for music and performance. She took on acting roles, joined music projects, and remained involved in the arts — quietly growing while staying grounded in what she loves.
Even today, though she’s still young, she’s far from being just a child star. She’s becoming an artist — one who takes her time, learns deeply, and carries a natural charm that connects with audiences without ever trying too hard.
A Glimpse of Greatness
What makes Anna’s story so special isn’t just her voice — it’s her heart. Her discipline. Her calm confidence. And her ability to move people through music without needing anything flashy. No big production. No gimmicks. Just a song, a mic, and a voice that speaks straight to the soul.
