Carolina became known as Ani Lorak in March 1995 when she took part in a contest at the television program "Morning Star" in Moscow, Russia. There was another Russian singer with the same name already enrolled in that competition. In order to save the situation, our Carolina had to read her name backwards. That's how her present name Ani Lorak has came into existence.
