Klavdiya Vadimovna Vysokova (; born 23 July 1995), known professionally as Klava Koka (), is a Russian singer, songwriter, and YouTuber. Vysokova began her professional career in 2015, being signed to Russian record label Black Star after winning the casting show Molodaya krov ("Young blood").
Early life and education Vysokova was born in Yekaterinburg on 23 July 1995. When she was a teenager, she moved with her family to Moscow. After completing her secondary education, Vysokova planned to enroll in the production department at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography, but she was one point short of being accepted on a budget, so she enrolled in the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration to study public service and management.
In 2012 she competed in the singing competition Ya - artist, where she reached the final.
Career In 2015 Vysokova released her debut studio album Kusto, consisting of country pop songs. That year, she took part in the music competition show Glavnaya Stsena, the third Russian incarnation of The X Factor. In the show, her style of performing was criticized by celebrity mentors Diana Arbenina, Irina Allegrova, Valery Leontiev, and Nikolai Noskov.
Later in 2015, Vysokova competed in the casting show Molodaya krov. She ultimately won, and was signed to Russian label Black Star as part of her prize. In 2017, she launched her YouTube channel, where she began performing covers of foreign songs translated into the Russian language. The following year, she became a host on the travel show Oryol i Reshka.
In 2019 Klava Koka radically changed her image and musical style with the release of the single "Vlyublena v MDK". She subsequently released her second studio album Neprilichno o lichnom later that year. In 2021 Vysokova was included as one of the 30 Most Promising Russians Under 30 by Forbes Russia. Vysokova is also a Russian advertising face of brands such as Pepsi, Garnier, and KitKat.
