In parallel with a regular school, Natasha simultaneously entered a music school in the piano class, as well as a choreographic studio of folk dance at the Grigory Verevka choir.In 1985, at the children's song festival, Natasha met the famous Kiev composer Vladimir Bystryakov. Bystryakov believed in the girl's talent and together they recorded two of his compositions "The World Without Miracles" and "Where the Circus Left". The popularity of the young singer began to gain momentum, Natasha became a welcome performer at all more or less significant congresses, government concerts, New Years, city days and other similar events of republican significance. At the beginning of 1987 Natasha became a diploma winner of the Golden Tuning Fork competition, in which she took part as a soloist of the Kiev group Mirage, and composer Alexander Sparinsky, inspired by Natasha's performance, writes a children's musical In the Country of Children specially for her. In the spring of 1987, Natasha was shown for the first time on Central Television USSR in the "Shire Krug" program. In the summer of 1987, at a song festival in Evpatoria, Natasha, the music editor of the Central Television USSR, Marta Mogilevskaya, met. There Natasha presents her an audio cassette with her recordings. In 1988, Natasha acted as the host of the concert program of the Kiev Beauty International Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship. In the same year she entered the Kiev Variety and Circus School, specializing in Variety Vocal, which she graduated in 1991. From 1999 to 2003, she studies at GITIS at the Faculty of Dramatic Art (course of V. Andreev). Students and teachers were surprised at her diligence, because in addition to her studies, she also tours, records new songs, and shoots videos. In 1989 she went on tour to the USA as the leading soloist of the children's rock opera Peace Child. The project was a huge success, and Natasha was invited to study at the University of Rochester, but she refused and went to Moscow to audition for the already very famous composer Igor Nikolaev at that time. According to the composer himself, at first Natasha did not make any special impression on him, but he still preferred her to the other two applicants. Among the three applicants, he chooses her, although at first glance Natasha did not make any impression on him. It was he who came up with the stage name Korolyov for Natasha.
