Biography: Who Is t.A.T.u.?

t.A.T.u. (pronounced "Tatoo") is a duet from Russia composed of:
  • Lena Katina: born in Moscow on October 4th, 1984. Attended an average Russian high school. Currently majoring in Psychology at Moscow State University.
  • Julia Volkova: born in Moscow on February 20th, 1985. Upon finishing the 9th grade entered the "State Musical Variety and Jazz Arts School", department of variety singing.
Both Lena and Julia sang in the children's group "Neposedy". The girls came together again during a casting that took place at the Mosfilm studio. They were selected independently out of 500 contenders.

The group's name is spelled "Taty" in the Russian Cyrillic character set (still pronounced "Tatoo"), and means "this -- that" or "this girl -- that girl", and implies "this girl loves that girl".

Their first album, "200Km/hr In The Wrong Lane", has been an international success in most of the world.

They are the first Russian group to hit #1 on the world music charts with their single "All The Things She Said".
