Anna was born on December 16, 1982 in Kiev in the family of Russian (from Tomsk) origin. As a little girl Anna grew with her brother and her mother, without father, in the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital city Kiev. As Anna was five years old, her father was leaving the family. Anna's mother succeeded to feed their two children under difficulties. In their full leisure Anna employeed with dance and music. With honors ended Anna the High School. In consequence Anna went on to attend at the National University of Culture and Arts.
A true trilingual, she is fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. The first two are learned during childhood by many, if not most, people born and raised in Ukraine, where Ukrainian is learned as the native language and Russian is taught in school. In addition, her mother is an English teacher and taught her English at home.
In 2002, Anna joined the popular musical group VIA Gra (Nu Virgos) and achieved international fame. She toured the world with fellow members Alena Vinnitskaya, Tatiana Naynik, Nadezhda Granovskaya, and Vera Brezhneva (Nu Virgos’ lineup is ever changing), releasing hit songs in both Russian and English. Anna is known for her clear pronunciation when singing in English. While with the group VIA Gra (AKA Nu Virgos), she was the lead singer for most of the English language versions of their songs, including most of their first English language album, "Stop! Stop! Stop!" (2004).
In 2004 she left the group when she married Valentin Belkevich, a midfielder from the football team FC Dynamo Kyiv. At this time she also became pregnant with her first child, Alina.
Sedokova was replaced in the group by Svetlana Loboda.
As of April 2006, Sedokova is attempting to relaunch her musical career, under the pseudonym 'Annabell'. Her first solo video, 'Moe Serdtse' ('My Heart'), has just been released. She followed that up with a top hit single in Russia called "Moy Geroy", which in English means my hero. While singing it she was wearing a green dress made especially for her.
In 2008 Sedokova also participated in the show ice age -2, with Andrei Khavalko.
