Hanna Dolhykh is one of the most prominent figures on the contemporary international
scene: a successful singer, charismatic TV presenter, sought-after host
of large-scale events, and a jury member at prestigious beauty contests around
the world. Five years of a vibrant and successful career under the stage name
Lubov Nicca became a period of bold experiments, high-profile projects, and professional
victories. Today, the artist is opening a new chapter — one that is more
mature, profound, and ambitious.
In this interview, Hanna shares what inspired her rebranding, the heights she has
reached over the past year, and the ambitious goals she has set for herself for
2026.
Hanna, you have come a long way over the past five years. What was the inner
“click” that made you realize it was time to begin an entirely new chapter?
For me, creativity, music, and life are inseparable. I don’t play roles — I live every
emotional state authentically. Over these five years, I’ve changed significantly,
and at a certain point I felt confined by my previous image. There was an inner
need for renewal — not only in name, but in meaning. That’s how First Lady was
born: a new self, a new vision, and a new positioning of both my personality and
my music. This chapter is about depth, awareness, dialogue with the listener, and
inspiration. I want my music not just to be heard, but to leave a lasting mark.
What is the key difference between Lubov Nicca and First Lady? How has your
sound evolved?
The difference lies in the depth of connection. An artist and a listener are like
partners in a relationship. At first, there is flirtation, playfulness, and lightness.
Then comes an exchange of energy and emotions. But if you want to go further,
you must dive deeper — otherwise the connection loses its value.
The five years under the name Lubov Nicca were a period of inner growth for me. I
learned not to be afraid of being different on stage — provocative, ironic, open. It
was a conscious journey of overcoming my own fears. Today, those fears are gone.

My relationship with the audience is moving to a new, more mature, honest, and meaningful level. First
Lady’s music will be deeper, more sensual, and more soulful.
Four music videos in 2025, international releases, and a complete brand relaunch — a level few achieve.
What is your formula for success? Do you have a superpower?
My superpower is sincerity, self-confidence, and a clear understanding of my goals. Everything that is
happening now was once just a dream.
One of our music videos was filmed in Venice — literally the day after I walked the red carpet. It was for
the song “Never Give Up.” We wanted to convey a simple yet powerful message: never give up. It’s important
not only to reach your goal, but also to enjoy the journey itself. When you truly understand where
you’re going and learn to love the process, everything begins to fall into place. As they say, if you can’t
walk — crawl; if you can’t crawl — just look toward your dream. The most important thing is never to turn
away from it.
You are regularly invited to international festivals and high-profile social events. This year, you attended
the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. What do these experiences mean to you?
Since becoming a public figure, I’ve been invited to these festivals every year, and each time it feels
special. It’s a space of high aesthetics, freedom, and inspiration. This year, I also hosted a fashion show
in Dubai and performed my new songs in Monaco, Paris, Milan, Venice, Cannes, Istanbul, and Baku. Being
surrounded by strong, successful, and beautiful people motivates you to shine even brighter. For me, participation
in such events is a confirmation that I’m moving in the right direction. This is the international
level, and it is a great honor to be part of it.
Finally, share your plans for 2026. What goals have you set for yourself?
In 2026, I plan to make an even greater impact on the international stage. I want to fill a concert hall —
and then a stadium.
I aim to create a grand show that will truly amaze the audience. There will be a lot of new music, new meanings,
and exciting collaborations. My main goal is to become even more recognizable and heard, so that
my music resonates all over the world.
