On November 1, 2008, at the Bronx club, Rusya, as a member of the folk band Akana-NHS, performed at the presentation of the EP “In Tune” by Hair Peace Salon, which attached her as a vocalist in the new band of Irena Kotvitskaya, the leader of the scattered NHS, and the transition itself took place during the “Golden Acoustics” contest project a month before due to the long creative leave of Indiga owing to perturbations in the line-up.[15][16][17][18][19]
The singer also collaborates with the electronic band CherryVata.[10] In 2011, she created her electronic folk band Šuma, followed by the birth of the new CityZen project in 2012.[10]
