Her father, Nicholay Kotov, worked as a miner, trucker, and later engaged in business activity. Her mother, Marina Kotova, worked in a bank. Tatiana has a younger sister Ekaterina. Tatiana Kotova took part in her first beauty contest "Miss Autumn 98" at school and won the title "Miss Charm". During studying at the Faculty of Economics of the SFU (Southern Federal University), Tatiana was invited to a training course «Professional model» in agency «Image Elite».

March 17, 2008 Tatiana Kotova became a participant of the famous pop group «Nu Virgos» («VIA Gra» in Russian spelling). Debut music video featuring Tatiana called «I'm not afraid» («Я не боюсь»). At the shooting time (February 2008) Kotova was not yet a participant of «Nu Virgos», therefore video was filmed with Albina Dzhanabaeva and Meseda Bagautdinova. Episodes with Tatiana were added later. The first performances as a trio took place in Moscow, in «Sungate Port Royal» (Antalya, Turkey) and in Ogre (Latvia). First television shooting was a concert dedicated to the thirtieth of the newspaper "Arguments and Facts". In summer 2008, «Nu Virgos» presented videos «My emancipation» and «American wife» («Американская жена»).
