Hi-Fi is a Russian dance pop group established in 1998, founded by composer Pavel Esenin and songwriter and producer Eric Chanturia. The concept of the group consisted of the male leader and two supportive dance-performers until 2006, when Katya Lee joined the group. Lee started her career in the band with the solo song "Vzletai". From then on, the female and male vocals were equal. When Katya Lee left, the group went back to the old concept of the male singing.
