Biography of the chansonnier

Sergey comes from the Sverdlovsk region. His family are ordinary, working people. From early childhood, they instilled in their son simple but important principles for life: most importantly, never be afraid of work or another defeat. In the future, the instructions of his parents allowed him to achieve success in the chanson genre.

Sergei showed a love for music from early childhood. He always liked to listen to different music. In his youth, he also tried writing poetry to express himself creatively. In adolescence, the first songs of the future chanson star were written.

Sergei considers his stay in an orphanage to be one of the significant events of his childhood. There he and his brother learned the other side of life. All the difficulties that befell the musician formed the basis for his original lyrics.

Childhood and youth

Sergei's early childhood was very ordinary - school, yard, friends. He was interested not only in music, but also in poetry, and happily wrote and learned poetry. In 1993, when the guy was 9 years old, his parents were deprived of parental rights. And the future singer Sergei Zavyalov and his brother were sent to an orphanage.

The guy started having behavior problems in the orphanage - he became a real bully. As the performer himself recalls, this was not a sign of rebellion, but a lack of understanding of what was happening. After another 2 years, due to constant conflicts, the guy was sent to a special school for difficult children.

Sergei Zavyalov in his youth

Difficult life circumstances affected the character and future of the guy. Shortly after graduating from school, he went to prison - he had no choice, because the difficulty of growing up and unfavorable living conditions determined his fate. Zavyalov is silent about the exact reason why he served his sentence.

The path to popularity

While Zavyalov was in prison, he returned to what really inspired him - music, poetry. The style was also quickly determined: it became chanson, popular among prisoners. The future chanson star listened a lot to performers of the genre, and also continued to write. He soon developed a unique style.

The tragedies in the singer’s life became the basis of his famous compositions. First, the singer’s father died, and then his only brother. The songs “Sleep, Baby” and “Mom’s Words” are filled with his pain of loss. The public immediately fell in love with them, because they contain genuine feelings and emotions.

In 2012, Zavyalov was released from prison. He immediately returned home and began to actively pursue his career. Zavyalov did not stop writing new texts and honing his skills. First of all, he organized performances in nightclubs and bars. He also did not refuse to perform at various holidays and corporate events. Little by little, a small popularity came to him.

First success

He soon became a local celebrity, especially among lovers of Russian chanson. Next came promotion on social networks. There his work became even more popular. Sergei began performing in different cities of Russia.

Chanson is a unique genre with a specific audience. There are not many performers in the genre, but they all have their own audience. Thanks to his popularity, Sergei tours large cities, and also gradually develops his creativity online.

Present and creative plans

The musician often visits Moscow, where he has his own audience. According to the singer, his largest audience is in Tyumen and the Polar Territory - Sergei visits there more often than in other cities. All his performances are successful, and tickets sell out immediately.

At the end of 2020, Zavyalov held a big concert in the capital of Russia. At the end of the performance, the singer even gave an encore. The artist never refuses to perform his compositions, even if they do not fit into the allotted concert time.

In 2020, Zavyalov plans to release a full-length album. He also wants to go on tour throughout Russia. He plans to perform concerts abroad.

Nikita Legostev was born on November 4, 1986 in the city of Togliatti, Samara region. The boy studied at school No. 62. I became interested in rap as a child. He was a member of the Tolyatti group “Underground Passage”. After graduating from school, he moved to Germany in 2002. At this time, he took the pseudonym St1m, under which he began his creative activity.

In 2005, the musician won an Internet battle on the website Hip-Hop.ru by one vote. After that he signed a contract with the King Ring label. In the same year, he was included in the list of the ten most promising rappers in the country according to the website Rap.Ru. From this period, the performer began performing solo. Some of his songs and his first solo album, “I Am Rap,” released in 2007, were recorded in the style of aggressive German battle rap.

However, on the next album, “Knocking on Heaven,” which was released in Ukraine and Belarus in October 2008, there were no such tracks. The performer tried to form a new idea of ​​himself in the audience, turning to themes of simple human feelings, describing life situations in which he and his friends had to find themselves.

When recording the new album, St1m collaborated with German beatmakers. In March 2009, he opened an online store in which he presented products of his own design. The presentation of St1m's solo album "Knocking on Heaven" in Russia took place on August 23, 2009.

In the same year, St1m released a joint track with Sergei Zhukov from “Ruki Vverh”, which was a cover version of “Girls from the Past”.

Together with Indigo, St1m recorded the track “#NoFear” and starred in the video of the same name. Then the idea of ​​creating a joint mini-album appeared, which was released on New Year’s Day on January 1, 2013, called “Phoenix”. It included five tracks. Also, as a New Year’s gift, St1m made the song “Snow” with a backing track from Sasha Stok. In February 2013, Nikita acted as the main judge and producer of the “I am a rapper” music competition. The competition was held with the aim of revealing the talents of the country's new MCs. The winner was a musician from Belarus, Binom, with whom St1m recorded a joint track: the main prize of the competition.

On June 19, 2013, rapper St1m appeared online under his alter ego on behalf of Billy Milligan. This is how the Billy Milligan side project started. In June of the same year, an interview with Billy Milligan “I’ll come back and cheer you up!” was posted on the Rap.Ru website, in which the project was discussed, as well as its future.

In mid-September of the same year, the song “I Want Hell” was released. Two weeks later the song “Billy Milligan” premiered.

Without announcements, on December 31, 2014, Billy Milligan's first album “Futurama” was released in the iTunes Store, which is a collection of previously released tracks. In January 2020, St1m announced the beginning of a creative association with the Tallinn group Black Bros, founding the King is Back syndicate, of which they also became members. A month later, the mini-album “Iceberg” was released. In September 2020, the mini-album “Beyond the Borders” was released, in which St1m tried his hand at the urban pop genre, and a month later, without announcement, Billy Milligan’s album “Feast in Time of Plague” was released in the iTunes Store, incorporating previously released tracks. In October 2020, a completely new mini-album called “Reboot” was released.

At the end of November 2020, Billy Milligan's first studio album was released. The album was called “The Other Side of the Moon” and included 12 compositions. In November of the following year, the compilation album DO.RE.MI.XX from Billy Milligan was released.

As Billboard magazine noted, his popularity can compete with Casta, whom he beat in the “Artist” category by 690 votes (with 25,989 votes), and in terms of activity and quality of promotions on the Internet, St1m will give odds to many domestic artists. The magazine also noted that his album “Knocking on Heaven” was released only in Ukraine and Belarus (the Russian release is still postponed), which means that in Russia only those who downloaded the record illegally could hear it, but this did not prevent the album from getting into top three.

Appearance

Sergei has a separate passion - tattoos. Some of the drawings on the body appeared during his imprisonment. The singer does not adhere to a particular style of clothing, and does not consider it necessary to pay much attention to his appearance.

In most cases, he chooses a shirt, T-shirt and jeans. If an event requires a separate dress code, Sergey always adheres to it.

Mother

Talking about his new apartment, Shura jokingly noted that he and his dog would live in it, thereby making it clear that on the personal front everything was unchanged for now. The artist is still single. The main woman in his life is his mother - Svetlana Ivanovna Medvedeva . However, this was not always the case; relatives did not communicate for a long time: “For 25 years, not calling anyone the word “mom” is very difficult. And I really wanted to do this and hear “son” in response,” the artist admitted in the “Hello, Andrey” program. Shura repeatedly voiced the reason for the conflict with his mother to journalists: “At the age of nine, I was already sent to an orphanage. Probably, everything went wrong for us at the age of nine or even earlier. I cried, screamed, called my mother. She was at work. She worked as a secretary-typist and choir director in a military unit. And she was always at work,” the performer said in an interview with StarHit. The appearance of Svetlana Ivanovna’s new husband only worsened the situation, and in 2013 Medvedeva even sued her son to evict him from the apartment in Novosibirsk where he spent his childhood. But even after such a situation, it was Shura who was the first to reconcile, who came to visit his mother: “I just rang the doorbell and that’s it. Mom opened it and we made peace. Everything turned out to be simple, but I’ve been going to this step for 25 years!” — the performer shared his emotions with Andrei Malakhov .

Hobbies ST

Football

ST is a devoted Spartak fan.

According to him, the love of football came to him on its own, since in his family there was no culture of rooting for any football club.

“I don’t remember my father watching any football matches. There is something animalistic around football, real and not hidden. And this is very valuable to me, this release of emotions. And gradually I began to go to matches, Spartak matches, because this is a Moscow team with history. That is, I first fell in love with the colors, and then I became a fan. Now I don’t miss a single home game if I’m in town.”

"The Simpsons"

It is known that ST is an ardent fan of the famous animated series “The Simpsons”.

“I'm a really big fan of this series and Homer Simpson in particular! Now I watch it as if I were reading a new issue of my favorite comic book. Season after season, the series began to lose “between the lines.” And the same South Park is much more daring and unpredictable. However, in the last season of The Simpsons, the all-conquering line of family as the main thing in a person’s life began to be traced, with which I completely agree.”
