Violeta Riaubiškytė-Tarasovienė (born 25 August 1974) is a famous Lithuanian singer and show host. She used to be the co-host of a Lithuanian music show "Penktadienio muzikos šou" ("Friday Music Show") alongside Edmundas Kučinskas and and also the co-host of a music show "Padainuokim!" ("Let's Sing!") alongside her husband Vilius Tarasovas.

She was married to Robertas Merzvinskas and has a daughter with him called Elinga, however she divorced him at the age of 25. On 31 August 2007 she married Vilius Tarasovas, and on 5 March 2008 her second daughter Gabrielle was born. Violeta Riaubiškytė-Tarasoviene lives in a seaside city Klaipėda. She has released two albums: "Ramunę baltąją" ("Daisy the White", sold 40 000 copies which is double platinum in Lithuania) in 2004 and "Su Meile" ("With Love", somewhat more adult oriented pop sound) in 2006. Violeta has also produced many singles including: The Song About You And Me, Vel ir Vel ("Again and Again") Jeigu Nori ("If you wish", with Vilius Tarasovas).

Early life and career

Violeta started her career being a dancer, and at the age of 17 began to sing in restaurants. Throughout her life she also studied for 6 years and graduated at the "Balio Dvariono" music school. At 18, when she finished school, she received an offer to work in the United Arab Emirates. She accepted, because at that time singers in Lithuania didin't have very good wages, whereas in the UAE the hotels offered to pay good money and also take full care of you. After a while when she returned to Lithuania, she was offered to sing with the group "Žvaigždių Kvartetai" and did so until she realised that she was much better off singing solo. In addition, she was also offered to sing in some concerts. However, when she was accepted to be the new co-host of the comedy show "Orbita" alongside Algis Ramanauskas - Greitai,it gave her career a big boost meaning she was becoming more and more popular amongst the Lithuanian public, therefore many more people wanted her to participate in concerts etc...

When the comedy show had finished, Violeta received another two big offers. Firstly, waking up the morning listeners of the radiostation "M-1" and secondly to be the co-host of the TV show "Penktadienio muzikos šou" ("Friday Music Show") alongside Edmundas Kucinskas. In 2004, she released her first album "Ramunę baltąją" ("Daisy the White", selling over 40,000 copies which is double platinum in Lithuania). In 2006, Violeta released her second album "Su Meile" ("With Love", somewhat more adult oriented pop sound)
