She was born in the Soviet Union. Her parents as well as other Soviet Germans, were banished to Central Asia after the Nazi Germany had attacked the USSR. Her father was killed in the labor camp. During the war her mother married a Pole and moved to Poland after World War II had been over. Anna German's main profession is geologist. She became a pop singer in the early 1960s after winning a song competition at University of Wroclaw where she was studying. In August 1967 she was badly injured in the road accident (car crash) in Italy. The process of her rehabilitation lasted three years until in 1970 she started singing again. She was popular both in Poland and in the USSR. The cause of her death in the age of 46 is cancer, which is in no way bound with the road accident as many people mistakenly suppose.- Writer

Alia's paternal grandfather Berador is named the Best Uzbek Goal Scorer of the 20th century, also considered the greatest football player in Uzbek history. Born into a dynasty of elite athletes, Alia herself played junior tennis competitively and now is a vocal fitness aficionado.
Alia started her career in 2006 as a Sports Columnist in Otechestvenny Futbol magazine and a reporter for the Russian national newspaper, Uchitelskaya Gazeta. Alia's achieved an impressive journalistic career for her very young age only to realize that her true love and her true talent lay in dramatic writing and visual storytelling.

In 2012 Alia created and hosted a radio show "Azamat's Champions" on Radio Terra which became one of the most popular programs of the station. On her namesake show, she aimed to bridge the gap between professional athletes and listeners, dedicating a big part of it to entertaining biopic-style profiles on star football players including Zinedine Zidane, Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Steven Gerard, and Pique.
A published Poet by that time, Alia wrote "The Sun" lyrics for a pop-rock band, SAHAR; the song became a chart-topping hit in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and was frequently rotated on Ukrainian radio stations.

Both Esther's Choice and Misha made an Official Selection at the prestigious Santa Fe Film Festival in 2021. Official Selection of the Manchester Film Festival, Misha was also the Opening Night Feature Film of the festival, a rare honor for a documentary. After picking up the Best Documentary Feature prize at the Oxford International Film Festival, Misha is set for international distribution, and Esther's Choice is now available on YouTube worldwide.

She's made a name for herself by skillfully balancing comedy and drama in her scripts, showcasing a unique voice and tone in each story. The subjects of family, identity and success are central in her work, she also often explores trauma, love and parent-child relationships in her writing.
