As the younger sibling in her family, Anastasiya has managed to step out from under her sister’s shadow and make a name for herself, showing us all that age doesn’t define the volume of your voice or the size of your dreams.
Growing up with an older sibling who’s already making waves can be tough.

Alongside her sister, she continued to impress in various competitions, proving that her voice was something special.
