A.k.a. Ольга Владимировна Восконьян

Born September 21st, 1970. Olga Voskonyan's musical career started by meeting her future husband Александр Яковлев in summer of 1987. Soon she began to accompany his group Биоконструктор on tour through the Soviet Union. In 1989, Yakovlev and Voskonyan began to record songs for her, e.g. "Автомобили" or "Дельтаплан". After a video clip of her performing "Avtomobili" was shown in the Soviet TV show "Аукцион - Это вы можете" in 1989, the song became a huge hit in Soviet discos. More tracks were written and recorded by Yakovlev and Voskonyan for an album that remained unreleased for various reasons. Some of these songs were performed on tour in the late 80s and early 90s. After the separation of Bioconstructor in 1990, Olga joined Alexander Yakovlev's new group Био. Until 1996 she was part of the group as a keyboardist and back vocalist. In 2017, she joined BIO again and one year later her old songs and new remixes of them were released by the independent label Maschina Records on CD. Currently a new album is in preparation!
