In the same year she entered the Faculty of Journalism of BSU.[3] While studying, she contributed to Muzykalnaya Gazeta, Narodnaja Volya, Belorusskaya Delovaya Gazeta, and other outlets.[4] In 2007–2008 she worked as a journalist at the “Novaye Radio,” anchored the show “Antipop.”[5][6] After graduation in 2008, she was distributed to the newspaper Sovetskaya Belorussiya – Belarus' Segodnya.[7]

Volha was the vocalist of the rock bands Tarpach (2005–2009),[8] žygimont VAZA (2004—2010), and Hasta La Fillsta (2009—2010).[9] She also collaborated with the bands B:N:,[10] Neuro Dubel, ZM99, and Lavon Volski.[11]

Appraisal

In the report from the joint-concert with the participation of Tarpach in 2008, Alena Sobolevskaya, concert columnist for LiveSound.by, highlighted the choreography and vocal abilities of the “excellent music journalist (vocalist).”[17]

Oleg “О’К” Klimov, editor-in-chief of Muzykalnaya Gazeta, recalled Volha as an excellent employee who “always made interesting and cool materials, offered ideas by herself;” from the musical side, in his opinion, she was most successfully realized in the band žygimont VAZA.[18] Guitarist of Tarpach Dmitry Astapuk remembered that Volha “was a creative person, capable of a lot of things.”[18] The founder and producer of the “Rock Coronation” Yury Tsybin spoke about “a phenomenon in Belarusian rock and roll.”[18] Guitarist of Hasta La Fillsta Siarhei Kananovich felt the energy from the person “who wanted to live rock music.”[18] Reminiscenting about joint-projects, Lavon Volski praised her for responsibility and professionalism.[18]
