In 2003 t.A.T.u. took the world by storm with their infectious hit singles All The Things She Said and Not Gonna Get Us. Their debut English album 200km/h in the Wrong Lane went on to sell in excess of 5 million copies and
garnered critical acclaim. t.A.T.u. travelled the world, infamously performing at the MTV Movie Awards with
hundreds of girls in school uniforms, selling out local nightclub hotspots all over Eastern and Western Europe, Asia
and Latin America as well as performing full stadium shows at venues such as the Tokyo Dome and Wembley
Arena. In their time together t.A.T.u. sold over 8 million units worldwide and are undoubtedly Russia’s biggest
musical export. To this day t.A.T.u. remain one of the highest selling international acts in Japan. In 2009, Lena and
Julia chose to disband t.A.T.u. in order to pursue solo careers.
At the end of 2012, Lena and Julia reunited for the first time in three years to promote the 10th Anniversary Edition of their debut album 200km/h In The Wrong Lane. t.A.T.u. performed together on The Voice in Romania at
the request of Universal Music and the appearance was followed up with a string of promotional events and
concerts thanks to overwhelming demand.
Reunited with her t.A.T.u. co-star once again, Julia performed the formidable Not Gonna Get Us at the opening
ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. After a successful performance, Lena and Julia teamed up to lend
their vocals to the song Love in Every Moment, the soundtrack to the film ‘Together Apart’ in which both girls had a
guest role. The film was premiered at The Russian Pavilion of the Cannes Film Festival 2014.
