Life and career
Charusha was born Daria Borisovna Simonenko on August 25, 1980, in Norilsk, Krasnoyarskiy kray, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. She grew up with a passion for music and theatre, to which she dedicated much of her early years. She attended the Moscow Conservatory at the age of 18 and studied composition. She began composing her own songs at a young age.
Having a passion for acting as well, Daria enrolled in the Moscow Art School GITIS, where she graduated as a dramatic actress in June 2010. She acted in several Russian films and television series while writing film scores and working on her own album. Her first major success was her co-writing work with Andrey Karasev on the music for the motion picture Silent Souls, which was released in October 2010, presented at the Venice Film Festival, and received very positive reviews.
In 2014, Charusha acted as the producer for the "Cold Front" [1] movie, where she played one of the female lead roles and wrote the score. The film was shot in Normandy in December of the same year. Her international breakthrough came with the premiere of Hardcore Henry in September 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
