Frank interview with Nikita Alekseeva Viva. Interview with Nikita Alekseev, performer hit "Drunk sun interview with Alekseev Nikita

His song " Drunk sun » at the end of 2015 he headed the Chart of Russian iTunes and lasted at the top of 6 weeks, now the clip on this song gathered almost 30 million views. Young, ambitious, talented Nikita Alekseev in an exclusive interview with GR spoke about a new video, attitudes towards fans, beloved music and many other things.

Nikit, my first question will be associated with the shooting of the video "I feel soul", why did you decide completely to pay for the ocean?

First of all, we used to trust the professionals of our business and the last 4 works are removed with the famous director Alan Badoev. Inspired by the work of the writer and the philosopher Oscar Wilde, Alan came up with the script of the clip, which is based on Dorian Gray, and he suggested to shoot it in California. Picturesque landscapes video filmed in Los Angeles, and the main scenes in the countryside of the city. I never had never been to the USA, it was a healthy journey, I really liked it. One of the best memories of my life! Therefore, I am very glad that we trusted foreign specialists. The team was half our half, half.

- But the script coordinated with you?
"You know, Alan is always very suddenly calling at night (laughs), and it makes no sense to oppose him if he already believes in it, you need to trust him. If you have a notice of doubt, then you do not need to start working. If you see a common goal, germins grain. When we filmed a "drunk sun," he completely changed the script, called literally in two days and said: "It will not be at all" when almost everything was organized. Almost always so it was (smiles).

- And what kind of story did you have with a soloist "Red Hot Chili Peppers" during filming?
- This is a wonderful story! Today I read an interesting comment by my friend, she is now too in Los Angeles. The actress, who played Sarah Connor in the "Terminator" at the hotel, asked Sarah Connor in the hotel, asked Sarah Connor and went further. In principle, it was so with me. We shot the last frame of the video on the ocean, already quite tired, it was the most difficult period of acclimatization ... I lowered my eyes down, then I look up and see a little girl who timidly goes and shows me with a thumb: "Look back", I I looked around and saw the running Anthony Kidis. I did not believe my eyes, he was a kumir of my childhood! I shouted as a child, perhaps even frightened it (laughs).

- It was a sign, because the girl could not know him at all.

Yes, she was only 10 years old, maybe she has parents with a good musical taste. I grew up on his music, and if he met in such an important moment for me, it is a good sign and the beginning of something new in my life.

- In the CIS countries, you are also legend too. In less than 3 years, you have collected all possible awards, singles in rotation on all the main radio stations and music channels. For you, a young man, it happened pretty quickly, some go to such success for a very long time. How did your body cope with this?
- It seems to me when it happened to me, I was not ready and the team was not ready. We really did not have the teams. It was a big surprise for everyone - such a confession, so it was not particularly rejected and did not have to hope for victory. We could not fully understand and realize what was happening, and there were still a lot of work ahead, we were only at the start. The most important thing is that as then, so now I understand that it is not necessary to dwell on your own success, after six months everything can end, and you will be not ready again. Every new day we look only for the future.

What is the most difficult thing for you in the show business, with which you encountered over the years? Maybe this is a communication with people who do not quite honestly lead the game, touring loads?

I was preparing to tour a lot of life, I get a great pleasure, going to the scene, and as for people, I was lucky, only sincere and good people come across, and until you had to deal with a lie. Only over the past year we gave more than 150 concerts. My debut tour took place in support of the release of the album "Drunk Sun", and everywhere the halls were full! This is such a joy when, in the second part of the concert, all the audience stand up from their places and dance, sing with me. And so in every city, in every country. We visited more than 20 countries, capitals. The schedule is scheduled for half a year ago ... Therefore, there is no time to think about difficulties, there is only time to sing.

Tell me who you started? And what team do you have now, are there plans to expand, create your own label, some ambitious goals?

Now we start work on our second album, and this is the main task that is facing our big team, this is a very interesting process. As for the team, we first had only 4 people, and now 4 people just sits in this room, a very large team of the house - in Kiev. We are more and more. The main thing is not to stop.

You are constantly saying "we", "we", correctly, I understand that the star disease did not hurt you? More often artists still say "I".

Always visible from the side, it is very difficult for me to judge it. Of course, I really want the sites to become more, and the geography of concerts grew. Perhaps there is a star disease in it when I look at my schedule and see that this month is not so many concerts, as in the past, it is upset to some extent.

- These are more creative ambitions. The edge, of course, is thin. The main thing is not to lose your head. What is the most desired site at the moment?
- From childhood, I dreamed of going to the stadium, where there will be a large number of people singing my music. This dream goes with me all my life. I do not know when it happens, but I believe that someday it happens, I cook myself for this for 13 years. Perhaps longer I will have to wait for this moment, but I hope that this will happen.

- In which country, for example? Maybe this stadium in England or in the same Los Angeles?
- It does not matter. Wherever it happens, I will be glad.

- More recently, YouTube awarded you with a silver button for 100 thousand subscribers on the official YouTube Channel, and now this figure has already increased to 135 thousand. The number of subscribers in your instagram is approaching half a million. The whole army of fans watches your work.
- It is a big responsibility for me - all the real people who live for this statisticians, figures. On the other hand, this is my main reward. Not those tens of figurines that are dusting on the shelves, but the emotions we share at concerts, full rooms, their support and activity. I often reread comments in social networks, and happens, some of them are very inspired by me.

- Do you communicate with your fans, for example, on fan meetings? And how do you feel about their opinion?
"I think every artist lives for my public, my listeners's opinion was also important for me." As for communication, it mainly happens at concerts. There is no time for long meetings, it is often necessary to quickly leave to the airport, fly away to the next city. But when there is an opportunity, we are happy to organize fan meetings, and I see that it is necessary for people that the audience receive great pleasure from this. My will would have met more often, but we are waiting for us in other cities.

- Do you have a lot of haters? And what does the attitude towards them?
- I am completely calm and with great understanding. If I see that my creativity does not like a person, I will not persuade him, make me listen. It is absolutely normal, especially in music, especially in our time ... I myself have a lot of acquaintance with the work of interesting musicians. And we say that I am the only one who should like, it is absolutely wrong, now there are many standing musicians.

- What kind of music are you going to inspire? When I want to be alone and listen to music, what turn on?
- I was the last time I had a healthy speech, which I still remember with a smile, it was a big Open Air, we were chadlinins, more than 50 thousand people came. When I drove to the site, listened to Jimmy Hendricks. Customized himself.

- Is it always different performers?
- I called this artist, so as not to take a lot of your time, I grown on his music. My musical list is very long. In general, listening to underground music, but in any case, I know all the basics. Michael Jackson is also my friend, and I always resort to him (smiles).

- And who of modern artists like it?
- Nikolas Jaar, Micah, he is not quite modern, but his work is close to me.

- What is your look at everyday life?
- You should always celebrate a new day and new people with a smile.

Singer Nikita Alekseev, famous for the alekseev's pseudonym, is the perfect new hero of the musical world.

Photo: Vanya Berezkin

He is young, talented and is good. And ambitious and confident. The song "Drunk Sun", which now hits records in Russian and foreign charts, brought a guy to a deafening popularity, but the success of him came not himself.

Nikita Alekseev comes from Kiev. He is 22 years old, he is seriously engaged in music. In 2014, Nikita became a member of the Ukrainian show "Voice of the country. Reboot, "where his mentor was Ani Lorak. Alekseev did not reach the final, but in just six months after the project, the song "Drunk Sun" strongly expanded the boundaries of his fame. We met with Nikita to one of his recent arrival in Moscow. Each minute of the singer's stay in the Russian capital was on the account: shooting, ethers, interviews. However, he did not look tired, on the contrary, it was noticeable that Nikita had a tremendous pleasure.

Nikita, I have been interviewed for more than ten years and, I confess, for the first time during this time I communicate with the artist in the presence of His producer and PR manager.

They just like our table. Want, will you defeat them if they are confused? ( Laugh.)

If they promise not to answer you for questions, they do not embarrass me.

No, there will be no total control, do not worry.

Your song "Drunk Sun" fell in Tor-100 world charts. It rarely succeeds even by our eminent performers. Did you predict a similar success, or so the stars agreed?

Is it possible to predict success? Probably, we have happened by randomly, and maybe because we just did not predict anything, but simply did this song from the soul, like everything you do. We get great pleasure from our work, laid out at the maximum, and we do not think about what place in the charts will take the song if it will fall into the world chart and what it is necessary to make it specially. We sincerely want to create, and this sincerity helps us.

Who are "we? We are Nikita Alekseev?!

We are Nikita Alekseev, my producer, director-producer of large-scale show Oleg Bodnarchuk, with whom we met at the competition "Voice of the country. Reboot ", and my musical producer, composer Ruslan Quinta, author of the music for the song" Drunk Sun ".

To sincerely fulfill this song, pass pain so that you need a certain emotional experience. Are you in love?

As a child, I was in love and always fell in love as the last time. If the girls did not answer me, I closed at home, he listened to sad songs, he composed them himself, recorded on the recorder, then showed these girls in the hope that they would understand how I suffer ... Recently, these girls gathered together, recorded "drunk sun" and sent Me with the signature "Nikita, I'm sorry." ( Laugh.)

Bite elbows. Listen, the video on the song "Drunk Sun" ends with the phrase "Every time you throw me, must kill yourself to live on." Your experience is much more serious than telling you now. Is this song dedicated to a specific girl?

Yes, I had a favorite girl with which we met for quite a long time - From seventeen years. In some sense, we grew together. I wanted to be next to her further, I saw support in it, support, but she was not ready to share the new circumstances of my life with me. We were going to spend a romantic weekend in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut he ended with our parting. She needed more attention, and at that time I had already started tightly engage in a musical career, it happened immediately after the competition ... I had to let her go. Now I understand that it was the right decision, because today I have a much less free time than then. "Drunk Sun" was recorded immediately after our parting, and, probably, therefore the song turned out to be so dusty.

Your girl is difficult to blame: she did not subscribe to your popularity. Have you been ready for new circumstances in your life?

I was ready for this one hundred percent, because for a long time it was going to do it. I sing from ten years. Every time she went to bed, represented the stage, the public ... Of course, I did not understand what kind of work is behind a beautiful picture, what experiences, but I wanted to stand insanely on stage.

Tell me, when did you understand what matured: after parting with your beloved or before?

I think that was still before - seventeen years, when I had to earn money to help the family. Who I just did not work. He began in the retail trade of alcohol, for which I even had to lift a little with the documents to hide my true age. Then he worked as an operator of the call-center, sold satellite antennas. It was extremely useful experience: there I learned to communicate with people. But the work in the karaoke bar turned to me into hell: the song "Wallowing Vodka on the table" I still dreamed of at night. ( Laugh.) Then I settled in the call-center again, but already in the banking structure.

Did you study at this time?

Yes. On the marketer. We had to work before couples, and always when it was free time. I also managed to rehearsals. Of course, terribly stuck and tired emotionally and physically. At the same time I had a difficult period when I stopped believing in my talent, disappointed in myself. I didn't hit the "Voice of the Country" from the first time, I first dropped me at all. Probably, then I was just not ready.

And why did you decide that you can not become a musician, and the marketer is obliged?

(Laugh.) It was a period when I was looking for myself. It seemed to me that music was not mine. Therefore, I chose a profession, which seemed to me will help me earn, keep in the future family. After about six months, I realized that I was wrong.

But did the diploma receive?

Yes, I received. I just got acquainted with the guys with whom we created our rock band. And it was my intense. In the afternoon I studied and worked, and in the evenings I was engaged in music. Recently I was looking for some kind of document and found my diploma - in two years I never got it. The next time, probably, I will take it in hand, when I will show my children with the words: "I have a diploma, it means that you also have to be."

How many times have you tried to contest "Voice of the country"?

Two years after the first failure, I came to break through this time to producers, bypassing the editors that participants were selected at the initial stage. Frankly, there were people who did not understand anything in music at all. "You have a weak member", - I told me one editor girl, remembering my first failure. But I managed to convince her. When she asked how many songs I prepared for listening, I replied that thirty-five, and then she was on her fear and risk sent me further. And already there were people who appreciated my talent.

Tell me, who opened talent in you? Who said he has it?

The first, probably, my love for music was noticed by parents: Mom took me to a steep vocal teacher. We were told that if I had a talent, then the teacher would work with me, and if not, it doesn't matter how much we will pay him. But parents especially could not fork. On listening, I performed the "black boomer", to which he said that he was taken away, but the "black boomer" eradicate. ( Laugh.) It is necessary to give him due: he not only engaged in vocals with me, but let me listen to different discs, disassembled songs with me, taught them to understand, feel.

Nikita, to a conversation about competitions. From the editors of projects like "voice," I know the stories when people come to the selection, absolutely confident in their talent, but not having any idea of \u200b\u200bsolfeggio. And even without hearing.

Different people come. I have a hearing, thank God, everything is fine, but I did not learn Solfeggio in my time. I regret it very much, because it is the base. I can sing without it, although there are some difficulties here, but most importantly, I can not write without it. While I position myself exclusively as an artist, but I also want to write my music - it seems to me that I have something to say.

So now you, what is called, again sat down at the desk?

And it's never too late. How much I do vocals, the classes have never stopped. Wash the skills need all the time. Talent is ten percent of success. The rest is persistence and work on yourself.

Almost sports motto. Have you never been involved in sports?

Engaged in childhood. Tennis. Five years.

Why did you leave the sport?

I had to choose between music and tennis, because my mentors - and the teacher on vocal, and coach - Required big results, since they predicted to me a big future. It was necessary all the time to devote to something alone. Tennis is not a teamwater sport, it all depends on you. He raises the Fighting Spirit, there are really very serious loads. If I'm not mistaken, record - Five hours of continuous game. I am grateful to tennis for the fact that he has developed endurance, strategic thinking and rhythm, who was then very useful to me in music.

Tell me, did you decide that you need to leave tennis and make music? Parents normally reacted to this?

Parents never imposed anything to me. Any choice in your life I did myself. Could, of course, say, they say, she was doing five years, so much money was spent, and suddenly you decided to quit everything. But they supported my decision, and I am very grateful for it.

What do your parents do who they areby profession?

They are doctors.

And you never wanted to go to some chemical biological class?

No, I do not even carry blood type. And I repeat: I was always given complete freedom of action. Parents did not dissuade me, even when, at seventeen, I decided to study on the marketer, and did not enroll in Gliera (Kiev State Higher Music School named after R. M. Gliera. - Approx. OK!) or in a conservatory. It was important for them to get a higher education. And what - I chose yourself.

Carolina (real name Ani Lorak - Approx. OK!) One click of the button has changed my destiny. She only believed in me. And it did it on my first strong note. During the project, Carolina gave me a lot of professional advice, but one of her advice I will try to remember always. On the set of my first video, which she gave me, was the moment, which in the end did not enter the video: I was worn in my hands and twisted. Carolina after this scene approached me and said: "Nikita, remember, the ovation does not mean anything yet. You need to develop and work on yourself, because today you are worn on your hands, and tomorrow you can be needed to be anyone. "

Nikita, in show business, pretty tough rules of the game, it is not a secret. What are you ready for your success and what is not ready for?

Not ready to play naked for the magazine. (Laughs.) And ready to work a lot. It seems to me that this is the most important thing.

And if tomorrow some wealthy person will offer you his patronage?

Now they ask a lot about it, because Philip Kirkorov wrote about my blog in Instagram. Everyone ask a question: "But if he proposes you cooperation?" I am definitely pleased that a person noted me such a magnitude, but this does not mean that at the first opportunity I brag the people who believed me, who did so much so that I now give you an interview. As far as I know myself, I am not capable of betrayal.

But the contract is not necessarily divorced, he will ever end.

We have a contract for forty years - while death will not give us. Joke. (Laughs.)

Last week I got your mini-album, and when to wait a full-fledged disk?

Eighteenth May, on my birthday, we plan to release a full-fledged plate with new and already famous songs. We have a grand idea to invite all my friends to the concert, my teachers, all familiar, relatives. I want to say thank you all, thank everyone for what helped me was there. I am sure that it will be great. True, you need a lot to finish, there are still a lot of sleepless nights ...

The most mysterious Russian-speaking singer, the performer of the megahit "Drunk Sun" goes to Eurovision 2018.

Six years ago, no one knew about him. Nikita was interrupted by random earnings, receiving pennies. And now the 24-year-old guy performs under the alekseev's pseudonym (yes, large letters) in thousands of halls, he has solid fees, his clips are gaining tens of millions of views, and soon he will appear on "" from Belarus. If the surname of the artist seems to you too common and unsubstantiated, not trouble. Anyway, almost everyone heard his hit "Drunk Sun". From the host of pop musicians highlights its special timbre and incredible charm. Almost caught by aloplace, removal from the ugly world of show business and idle party.

The magazine "TV program" found out how much he received for unqualified work, why he lived in a reception family, where he made the first sentence of his beloved and why the upcoming competition could change his life.

- You are traveling to "". But why not from native Ukraine, but from Belarus?

- I consider myself and the Belarusian singer, including (the artist was born in Kiev, but his native uncle from the Gomel region of Belarus. - Aut.). In 2017, according to the largest Belarusian television channel, I became an artist of the year. My songs in the country know well. Last year we visited more than 15 countries with concerts, so I could introduce any country in which popular. I think that I will receive support from Ukraine at the competition.

- Forever's song, which you have chosen for execution, - in fact, the translation of the song "Forever", which has already been made public. And under the conditions it is possible to perform with a composition voiced not earlier than September 2017. You are not disqualified?

"We didn't choose this song, she chose us herself." At first we laid out the track on YouTube - and without a clip he instantly scored 5 million views. As for legal difficulties, it was as follows: May 18, on the day of his birth, at one of the concerts, I sang a small fragment of this song, a piece. Piano version. So completely song did not sound. The European Broadcasting Union confirmed the fact that there were no violations.

"If a beautiful girl appears nearby, I will not let her go"

- Part of the childhood you spent in Spain. And even as if they were like the Spaniard. How did it happen?

- I was there at an early age at the initiative of aunt who wanted me to master the Spanish. And as soon as this possibility appeared, I was sent to the town of Moula, in four hours drive from Madrid, in a reception family. Aunt knew that his mother would not approve, so he had surgery without it: he received permission from the notary and sent me to Spain, I was three years old. The family in which I lived did not have children, and I became literally native for them. Fucking there for the summer from year to year, lived there for quite a long time - and at some point the receptions even wanted me to stay. I learned the language, I felt freely. And somehow on returning home right at the airport announced that I want to return to the Spanish family. On this trip ended. We did not communicate with Fernando and Pepa for 16 years, and last year they found me in social networks. They are madly happy that my fate has formed this way. I will try to see them when within the promotion in front of Eurovision to fly to Madrid.

- Who else would you like to meet?

- With Father. He left us when I was very small. Initially insisted that Mom did not give birth, and then went to another family. Once, when we were not easy, my mother turned to him for material help, but he refused. Not because there is no money, but because she did not listen to him and gave birth to me. Nevertheless, I want to find it. I know that he lives in Israel and may see my performance during the European tour or the contest itself.

- Do you really have a bitterness, resentment, anger?

"I can't say that grew up in an infallible family." Every day I was endowed with a huge portion of love. Friends and relatives did everything to fill the gap that could have arisen. I had excellent childhood, the best youthful years. And I have nothing to keep evil on my father and forgive him too not for what. And yet: the song, which I sing on Eurovision, dedicate to him. Maybe it will awaken in it some feelings.

- It is said that your song "Drunk Sun" is devoted to parting with the beloved. True, in Spain three years ago you made an offer to the girl?

- Yes, in Barcelona for dinner, I made her an offer. But I did not hear a positive answer. I worried a lot, but I can not say that now it bothers me. Then it was hard, do not hide. Now another stage.

- Maybe after that case inside you there is an internal unit, due to which new relationships are not born? And the work is a way to protect?

- No, this is not. Yes, and what I do, you do not need to be called work. I try to enjoy what happens to me. And if a beautiful girl will appear nearby, which I want to keep your hand tightly, then I will not let her go.

- Now Alekseev - Star. Throw view - and any girl jumps on the neck. And before it was also?

- I composed songs, inspiring the bright feelings to the girls. Which I had only two during my studies. Beautiful and clean relationships that I remember with a smile. We do not communicate, but it was an excellent experience in writing songs, let's say so (laughs).

- That is, any experience goes to the song?

- Absolutely!

"I stood in a prince costume in the cosmetics store"

- What had to go to student hungry years for earnings?

- It was the posts hated by me. Absolutely nonmatical. Although it was there that I learned to communicate with people and understand them, feel. This is important for the musician - to learn the thoughts of a person and understand that he worries him. I sold satellite antennas, worked as a credit specialist and promoter, sang in karaoke, stood in a suit of a prince in the cosmetics store.

- That is, every girl who listens to you and dreams to meet in the image of a prince on a white horse, could this in the store?

- Six years ago.

- What is the maximum number of concerts a week you give?

- Differently. Last week there were five concerts.

- Do you think yourself with a rich man? Millionaire, for example.

- Remember that Bob Marley spoke about wealth? "What do you mean when you say" rich "? Property makes man rich? I have no wealth of this kind, my wealth is life. " I do not need, but to discuss fees and material values \u200b\u200bshould not be exactly with me. I am a man of creativity and music. Are I happy? Yes.

The colorful performance of the artist on the selection to Eurovision did not leave questions: it was he who must present Belarus in Lisbon. Photo: * Detali | PR & Communications

- I went there twice. In 2012, I was at the stage of predoxeing, not even blind listening, which headed the qualifying committee. We had a busy and very short dialogue, the essence of which I am trying to decipher so far. At first I sang Come Together BEATLES Groups, after which Konstantin suddenly asked: "What about the army?" Honestly, I came mistaken, did not know how to react. Told honestly: "I was not in the army." On this casting ended, they did not take me. And in two years I got on blind listening, I turned Ani Lorak, and I reached the semifinals.

- What can you withdraw from yourself?

- Loss of the favorite team - London Arsenal, more than 11 years older. This year, in the championship of England, not everything turns out, but nothing remains except to support. Talented guys.

- If you take off and look at Nikita Alekseev from the side, what is his main problem at the moment?

- There are many such things. Oddly enough, I do not like to talk about yourself in an interview. It sounds rather stupid, but it is. Problem? Caller Cord. As soon as a minute comes, when I can tell myself that I became a master of my case, then I would be absolutely happy.

Private bussiness

Nikita Alekseev (scenic pseudonym Alekseev) was born on May 18, 1993 in Kiev. From 10 years began to engage in music. In 2014, I had reached the semifinals of the show "Voice" in Ukraine. In 2015, he released the song "Drunk Sun", which became a breakthrough. Single received platinum status in iTunes. Each subsequent track was no less successful - Nikita collected many musical awards in Russia and the CIS countries. Not married.

The artist of rare beauty, with a snow-white smile - Alekseev (Nikita Alekseev) - at the nearest Eurovision contest will present Belarus. The path of the wildly popular artist on the top of the focus was lined not only with hearts from numerous fans. Under the pressure of competitors Alekseev had to change the primordial competitive track Forever: he was accused of executing this composition not according to the rules, ahead of time. The final decision remains for the European Broadcasting Union.

Perhaps, with the help of EBU, once again, Alekseev will confirm its reputation between the "Big Mud" and the competition will fulfill Forever in the original version. Colleagues on show business in his native Ukraine every time he is reminded at the meeting, as he was lucky, hinting at experienced producers near and hit the "drunk sun". The boy singing turned out to be also speaking - it is already fortunately for our readers. In an exclusive interview with Sat ", the artist welcomed us to his private territory, where he first spoke about his adoptive family, complex relations with his own father, infinite thanks to his mother and fans surrounding his love.

- Nikita, once again revised your performance in the final of the national selection - the excitement is noticeable ...

- So it was. I do not like the competitive effect in music, although I am aware that this is a competition, these are the rules of the game and I need to take them. The atmosphere itself around the selection was incredibly tense, and it bothered to enjoy the process. And for the musician, the most important thing is to dissolve in my song. This is a very rigorous state, it is easy to break it, and it is impossible to understand the nature at all. I am sure, everything will be different in Lisbon.

Are you already thinking about the organizers team that you have to change the competition? Do you succeed in Lisbon mobile to realize all technical fags and creative solutions?

- Over our number, one of the best director-producers of modernity and part-time is my creative producer - Oleg Bodnarchuk. Behind his shoulders more than three thousand productions of the most varying complexity, including the number for America's Got Talent with projecting the image on the water screen and for M1 Music Awards, where I soared over the scene in the geometric space. These performances merged a lot and discussed on the network. I am sure his experience will help us come to a better decision. While I can not tell anything about the room, I know exactly exactly exactly - we will go to Lisbon with a new idea.

I was very touched by the story of your father: he left mom when she was pregnant. And you have never seen him for 24 years?

- Yes, the native father did not raise me up. But I can not say that it was not in full family. My vocal teacher always said that I was enveloped with a huge and warm blanket of immense love, which my family gave me - Mom and Aunt. They did everything so that I never need anything: I had a happy and carefree childhood, an unforgettable youthful period. Now I am firmly standing on my feet and I am doing a favorite thing in many ways due to their care and faith in me.

- Do you know where your father is now, what country does he live in?

As far as I know, in Israel.

The story knows many examples when children who did not know their father's love become famous and the dads are recognized in the end. Do you have such a dream - talk to my father's souls? What makes you think your meeting?

Nikita with adoptive parents in Spain. 1997

Yes, I often thought about it at different stages of my life. When I was 12, my mother had problems at work, we were hard, and I had to call the Father to help. I remember that I was very scared then, myself could not dial the number, I asked my mom to do it. I was completely not ready for a conversation and did not know where to start ... Then the father refused to help us, he did not want to communicate with him. After some time, Mom's affairs went to the way. But she always said that I should not be angry with him and at the first opportunity it is necessary to meet him. While this did not happen, but I think that once we will definitely meet and let each other's hands.

Well, God forbid. In an interview with the well-known English blog of the Eurovision contest, you called our Belarusian fans "drum", which means, truthful and sincere. And tell me honestly, was ready to face such a frantic reaction of competitors in the National Choir?

We understood that no one guarantees us an exit to the final part of Eurovision. Therefore, they prepared for any outcome. In addition, the level of performers in the final was high. At rehearsals, I was convinced of this final. The chances were all. I am very glad that the audience and the jury believed in me and gave the opportunity to present Belarus this year.

On the eve of the qualifying round in Minsk, you had a meeting with Alena Lanskaya, Dima sorcerer and NaviBand. Each of them behind their shoulders have experience in Eurovision. What are you sputted?

First of all, I want to thank them for the fact that the artists responded to my proposal to meet and supported at such an important point. We mainly talked about the preparatory stage, about the nuances of the rehearsal process. Naviband, Alena and Dmitry, in one voice, claimed that it was necessary to make focus on stage plastic and acting skills no less than on vocal lessons. Everything is important on the television competition, not only pure singing, but also the ability to take possession of the viewer. The guys shared their impressions, some curious cases were told. We laughed a lot, and the conversation turned out to be soulful. Agreed to meet again, but after I will tell you.

In childhood, you spent a lot of time in the Spanish family, such a practice to send children to Europe for the summer "on exchange" and we had popular. But one day mom banned you to ride there, too you loved Spain. Saw the other day in Instagram your photos from Lisbon. How did you feel in this city? Was the memories of Spanish childhood?

Thanks for the question. For three days spent in Lisbon, it's for sure, I woke back in my childhood. Pictures from Mulu (cities where lived in Spain) something and the matter awakened my imagination. Architecture, people, the general mood of the city is very similar. Immediately wanted to return to the carefree time, and now I am looking for meetings with Pope Fernando and Mama Pepoy - adoptive parents in Spain, my second family. This year, during the preparation for Eurovision, one of the countries of my promotion is Spain. I really hope that we will have time in order to come to Mulu. It is very important for me. I am in all and everywhere inspiration, and a meeting with Spanish parents will definitely be very wrong. So many solar and bright memories remained from those times. We have not seen 15 long years. Stopped contacting when I was eight. Last year, they found me in social networks, and from the moment we support relationships. Imagine, they recognized me after 15 years. What was the surprise of Fernando and Pepa, when they realized that I became an artist. Six months ago, we talked with a translator. So worried then, it was very difficult to choose words. In general, we agreed that I would soon come to visit.

As a certified marketer, Nikita, tell me what you need to take to take first place on Eurovision? What song want to hear Europhanes this year?

The last two years defeated performers who were in natural harmony with themselves and their composition. They did not play a role, were honest with the audience, and they believed them. Their image was remembered due to individuality. Intente, technologically complex numbers will probably lose sincere performance and a holistic work. And this I say not as a marketer, but I feel like an artist.

- Thank you for your openness and good luck at the competition!

All you wanted to know, and a little more.

EG: In his interview, you told that in addition to vocals also professionally engaged in tennis. How did it happen that the music took up the top? Was a turning point when you realized what you want to devote yourself to music?

Nikita: Music came to my life when I was knocking 10. These were vocal classes with a teacher who attacked me unlimited love for vocal art. He taught me to feel, worry and understand the song. From the moment the workout on tennis moved to the background, and the musical world completely excused my interests. I put priorities: singing is what happens to me best, and I'm going to devote yourself to this lesson.

EG: Your clip "Drunk Sun" has more than 3 million views on YouTube! And it is enchanting! Congratulations! Did you wait for such a success?

Nikita: I was on the seventh heaven from happiness, when I learned who would be a director of my clip. I understood that there was no one better than Alan Badeva. As for the number of views, I am sure that this work has a huge potential. Sowhat, then whether it will be.

EG:By the way, how did you work with Alan Badoev? They write that he himself contacted you, and even removed the clip without a fee? How did it happen?

Nikita: Alan called my producer Oleg Bodnarchuk with the words: "I will be offended if you shoot a clip on this song I will not be!" Later, in one of his interviews, answering the question why he worked with us without a fee, he said the following: "I am pleased to be at the origins of a truly talented person, a future bright star." I will remember this phrase for life! Of course, for me it is a great gift of fate.

Eg: What are your feeling when fans are suitable on the street?Do you remember the most first time when you recognized and asked for an autograph?

Nikita: Of course, it is very nice and inspires! When a random passerby came to me for the first time, in order to take a picture, I was so confused, which refused to her joint photo and quickly left. I did not find a logical explanation for this action. Probably, with unusual it happened.

EG:What do you think you are morally ready for deafening success? After all, with the arrival of popularity, everything changes in life. Do you like to feel yourself a star?

Nikita: To be honest, I never thought about it. The only thing that takes me is to write new hits, the release of the first mini album, its release ini. Tunes is scheduled for February 25. But I plan to premiere your big album on May 18, on my birthday. On this day we will give a big concert in Kiev. The idea to celebrate this event is that it came not spontaneously. I want to thank all the people who were next to different stages of my life. My successes have become possible due to their contribution to my development as an artist, and most importantly as a person. For other thoughts in my head now is not there.

EG: Are you doing all the time shooting, touring, but remains time for yourself? What do you do when not going to work?

Nikita: I like doing sports. And sometimes dance on discos. And, of course, spending time with relatives and loved ones. You can also read the book.

EG:Do you continue to communicate with friends who have you before you become famous? Are people "from the past" appeared, who suddenly wanted to communicate?

Nikita: I will not chat, I have few friends. It just happened that I communicate with those who know more than ten years. We have grown together, we have similar vital values. Everyone has their own way, but we are always sincerely happy with the victories of each of us! I feel this support, and she helps me very much. For this, I will always thank my relatives and friends!

EG: Envious and Hayters are an integral part of show business. Are there such such in your life?

Nikita: In my soul there is no place to negative. I always thought everyone has the right to his opinion. If there is a constructive in the words of man, I definitely listen. If I see the emission of unjustified aggression in his direction, simply I do not pay attention to such comments.

EG: May 18 goes out your debut album. Tell me how he was recorded, are the compositions associated with one topic (what?) Where do you draw inspiration for new songs?

Nikita: What happens to me now is a real miracle. I always believed in fate, and she brought me to Ruslana Quinta and Oleg Bodnarchuk. We decided to record the album. In this work, such masters of their affairs are helping, as the poet Vitaly Kurovsky and the arranger Mikhail Koshevoy. My debut album is the fruits of colossal teamwork. Each of us puts the part of yourself in this process. Disinterested and passionate love for their work, an infinite fantasy, high professionalism - all this is in our music.

EG: We have read the characteristics of your zodiac sign and found out that the shoulders are stubborn, but at the same time very calm and balanced. Noisy party they will prefer a quiet evening at home. What about this about you?

Nikita: I am inconsistent: I can quietly sit in a family circle, and I can blow up the dance floor at a party!

EG:We really like your style. Do you choose clothes? Or stylists still help? For example, love for hats is part of the image, or are you true, from them crazy? In general, can you call yourself a modist?

Nikita: Must admit that withfashion. - I have a conversation on "you". I always said that I had a kind of taste. Could even combine the cage and strip. It is good that now there are people who help me in this matter.

EG:What do you see your career in the years so 5? What would you like to achieve by this time?

Nikita: Perhaps I will answer trite, but I live here and now I do not want to make five years ahead. I am very pleased with what I am in my place. I try to get a maximum of pleasure from every minute. Even now, when I answer questions, I try to choose some words from which it becomes more fun. I remember some moments from life, and from these pictures in memory catch a good mood. I want to create, I want to please people at concerts! There is still a lot of things ahead, but it will be later. More importantly, what awaits me tomorrow!
