Fabrika formed in 2002 on the first series of the Fabrika Zvezd (Star Factory) TV programme, from where they took their name. They ended up coming second to boy band Korni (Roots). I have tried here to put together a collection of video clips from their appearances.
The original line-up of Fabrika was Sati Kazanova, Ira Toneva, Sasha Savelieva and Masha Alalykina. Masha left the group to continue her university studies. The remaining three continue to this day.
Each week the contestants had to perform on a weekly TV show, either duetting with established pop starts, or on their own.
