Pseudonym

edit

Klavdia Petrivna is a pseudonym borrowed from the heroine of the novel "Zapysky kyrpatoho Mefistofelia [uk]" by Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Vynnychenko.[5]

Versions of the real name

edit

Since the beginning of her career, the performer has remained anonymous.

Some sources say that she is an experienced woman of 35–40 years old, while others say that Klavdia Petrivna is a young girl, even a young woman.[5][6] There is a theory that Klavdia Petrivna is a special project, and her voice was created using a neural network.[7] There is also a belief among fans that the singer is a well-known personality. The singer's team reacts to these theories in different ways. They fuel discussions around the theory of artificial intelligence by using ambiguous text in the description below the official videos or on the artist's pages, while at the same time, label director Kateryna Shevchenko says in an interview that Klavdia is young and still studying at a music college.[5]

According to the Ukrainian singer Osty, Klavdia Petrivna decided to become an incognito singer not for the sake of PR, but because of shyness and fear of being disgraced in case of failure. The artist loves Volodymyr Ivasiuk's work and French songs, which is where she draws inspiration from.[8]
