Was released the record of Alexander "Sinful soul sorrow", in which almost all the songs were written by Sergei Trofimov.

But, probably, Sergei no longer wanted to remain in the shadows and in 1995 year he releases the album Aristocracy of the garbage dump part 1, and already next year - its continuation Aristocracy of the garbage dump part 2 and the third album - Eh, I would live. His sincerity and soulfulness, deep lyrics and good arrangements are liked by people and are perceived by them as something new and light.
Later on, Trofim continued his creative career, wrote songs for films, took part in various concerts and festivals. He is a welcome guest everywhere. Lada Dance and Nikolay Noskov are grateful to the author and composer of their many albums.

Sergey Trofimov's official website: www.trofim.com

Sergey Trofimov is a Russian songwriter in the style of chanson, author's song, rock, musician, singer. In 2011, the performer was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia. During his career, Sergei Vyacheslavovich received the Golden Gramophone award three times.

Trofim ... Not the name, not the nickname. And the songs? Uncomplicated motive and simple texts. Either pop, not chanson ... But even the fans did not suspect that this very Trofim writes amazing poems, moreover, an excellent composer and arranger with a conservatory education.

However, his compositions sounded in someone else's performance, and he did not particularly advertise the authorship. Only years later did he realize that it was time to announce that the singer Trofim and the composer Sergei Trofimov are one and the same person.

Childhood and adolescence, family

The voice and the ability to write good music don't come up overnight. Behind the talent are years of labor and torment ... his mother. Sergei is grateful to Galina Fedorovna for the fact that once, or rather in 1973, brought him, seven years old, to the choir chapel at the Gnessin Institute, where he soon became a soloist. By the way, he has a lot of songs about mothers, but there seems to be nothing to say about fathers.

His dad left the family when Sergei was only four years old, and on the eve of his 40th birthday he wrote on his page on the social network that he dreamed of meeting. Trofimov invited his father to a concert, a little later they met - completely strangers who had nothing to talk about. Both understood this and made no more attempts to get closer.

But once Sergei dreamed that he had a dad, big and strong, able to instruct him to be true. And my mother was worried that her son was growing up like a tomboy without a firm hand. Trofimov really could have gone along a crooked path, if not for an accident when he miraculously survived.

In the pioneer camp, 13-year-old Sergei took part in "Zarnitsa". The tower he had climbed tilted. What happened next, Sergei did not remember well: he fell, everyone was fussing around, they called an ambulance ... The doctors literally collected his hands piece by piece. He spent almost three years in a cast. But it was then that he learned to think, listen to himself, began to compose poetry, however, he could not write down - he dictated to friends.

When the plaster was removed, he almost cried: his thin, bluish little hands did not want to obey. Sergey began to train: power sports, karate, and all through hellish pain. But I realized how fragile our life can be, and what forces have to be applied to return what was lost.

Music

Sergei Trofimov really, all the time wrote something, composed music, lyrics. "God gave you talent, which means that you have to realize it, create and thus serve people. This is your destiny." He determined my choice - I firmly decided to become a singer, and in 1994 with the song "That's all!" - said the sage and sank into the water "Trofim's career began."

At the beginning of the "dashing nineties" Trofimov, like many others, got lost in the Russian reality: “I didn't want to be bandits, to steal too. Art was in complete prostration. I was baptized - I wanted to get closer to Russia, to its traditions. " In 1991, Sergei became a chorister in the choir, then - as a choir director. I even wanted to go to a monastery, but was not allowed: “My spiritual mentor, Father Nikolai, he now monks on Valaam, said that you cannot be a monk if something new is constantly being born in your soul. Indeed, Sergei Trofimov went too far with thoughts of the monastery. By that time he already had a family ...

Personal life

Sergei Trofimov was married twice. He met his first wife Natalia in a cafe, where he gave a concert. Fell head over heels in love! In 1988, daughter Anechka was born. The wife was discharged from the hospital, and the baby was nursed for a long time in the hospital - the daughter was born seven months old. The young father (Sergei was 22 years old) regularly visited the baby - he took away the expressed milk, and then looked through the glass for a long time as his child was sleeping.

Love for his daughter is the only thing that kept Sergei close to his wife. She and Natalya turned out to be absolutely strangers. The couple divorced when Anya was three years old. He regularly visited the child, paid alimony, even decided to remarry with Natalia - let the baby have a normal family. In 1998, they played a second wedding, but ... Trofimov more and more often stayed overnight in the studio, and his wife and daughter were bored in a country house.

By the way, when it came to the final breakup, the wife showed herself in all her glory. For almost a year she did not give consent, until Sergei, who left her both the house and the car, did not give all the accumulated money. But what was to be done? He loved another woman, and she was already expecting a child.

A good friend invited Nastya Nikashina to the club, promised a performance by some Trofimov, in whose group he worked as a guitarist. He praised in every way, although this surname did not say anything to the girl. But as soon as she saw Sergei and heard his songs ... Here she is - a dear soul! After the performance, she came up and tried to express her delight, but she got an inarticulate babble. He looked wearily at another fan. And something hooked!

After a while, the same friend again brought Nastya to the concert. This time Sergey himself offered to meet in a more pleasant atmosphere. But the date was all postponed: either he was on tour, then she (Anastasia danced in Laima Vaikule's ballet). One day she sent him a text message: "I think I love you." Trofimov himself understood that he had found his soul mate. Honestly admitted to his beloved that he is still married. But the key word was goodbye.

When Nastya realized that she was pregnant, she was scared: love is love, but the marriage of a loved one with another. She shared her doubts with Lyme. She even scolded her: “What is there to think about, silly? You are already twenty-seven. Of course, give birth! " "Of course!" - said the happy Sergei. In November 2003, a son, Ivan, was born.

The singer received good news right at a concert in Tula. The presenter announced: "Sergei Trofimov has a son, Ivan!" A year and a half later, in May 2005, they got married, and six months later they got married. And now the words of the priest about "both in sorrow and in joy" have laid down on blessed soil. Both felt an incredible upsurge, both understood that the dearest person was near, and this was already forever.

In July 2008, an addition happened in his personal life - his daughter Lisa. The couple are sure that they conceived a child while traveling in Italy, in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. Once Sergei opened up: “I already had two children - Anechka and Vanechka. And I was worried - what if I couldn’t love the new man as much? ” But even these doubts quickly passed. He has enough love for everyone.

Trofimov seems to make up for the children all that he himself was deprived of. A couple of years ago, the family moved into a four-story country house, where a whole floor was allocated to the son and daughter. There are as many toys as you want, a whole room has been allocated for them.

“Children are the main thing, this is the whole Universe. You are busy, as it seems to you, with something serious, solving global issues, and suddenly a little man comes up and puts his head on his knee - boo! You stroke him and understand that all your clever thoughts, all your unrealistically important things are bullshit, and only this is real ... "
