Early life and education
[edit]Natalia Buchynska was born on 28 April 1977 in Lviv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Ukraine).[1] Her father was a dentist and mother worked as a commodity specialist. Although her parents were not musicians, they loved music and enjoyed singing at home, which was the reason she loved music and the Ukrainian song.
In her childhood her first performances were for family and friends at home. At five years old, the family moved to Ternopil. She sang in the school choir, and attended voice lessons three times a week, developing her talent at an early age. Through the eleventh grade, she participated in an artistic group, which performed at the Ternopil Cultural Center, "Berezil". She graduated from the Ivan Franko Ternopil high school in 1994.
Buchynska wanted to pursue a musical career, but completing her education and performing were not possible in Ternopil.
She entered the Ternopil Academy of National Economy, now the National Economic University, specializing in audit and control, graduating in 1998. In 2003, she graduated from the National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. In 2005, she completed her studies at the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts as an Artistic Director.

In 1998 she moved to Kyiv, at the request of the State Song and Dance Ensemble of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. After auditioning, she was chosen as a soloist. There she met her future director and producer Leonid Radchenko. In this same year, her song "Listen, the rustling rain" became "Song of the Year".
In 2004 Buchynska became the youngest People's Artist of Ukraine. She performed at over 800 concerts. Her repertoire includes over 160 songs.
