The father of the future singer, Andrei Alexandrovich, is a famous choreographer, creator and soloist of the famous vocal and choreographic group 'X-Mission'. Mother, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Irina Vsevolodovna Serbina-Hertz, comes from a circus family, danced on a wire, then successfully took up circus directing. The artistic atmosphere in which Vlad grew up was added to the abilities inherited from his parents, and at two and a half years old the boy took part in the filming of the film 'Scam, Music, Love'. The Sokolovskys collaborated with many stars, in particular, they took part in staging the concert program “I am not Raphael” for Philip Kirkorov. During a concert in Chelyabinsk, Vlad, who was then only three and a half years old, gave Kirkorov a bouquet of flowers, and then sang the hit “My Bunny” in a duet with him. The audience was delighted, and this duet number was performed for two years. Later, in 1997, Vlad sang “Bunny” in the “Morning Star” program as a guest artist. In addition to performing with Kirkorov, the young performer began touring with the X-Mission group, where he performed the song “Red Up,” which became the sound signature of Wimm-Bill-Dann products. Touring stopped when Vlad reached school age and entered the choreographic department of an art school. He diligently mastered the basics of classical and folk dance, and in 2001 he was cast at the Todes school-studio. In the same year, he performed the song 'Red Up' at the fifteenth anniversary of the ballet 'Todes', and also recorded a video clip for this song.

"Star Factory-7"

Despite the fact that his creative career in his father’s group was developing quite successfully, in 2007 Vlad Sokolovsky decided to become a participant in the “Star Factory-7” project, the producers of which were Konstantin and Valery Meladze. The young talented artist easily managed to get into the lineup. In a duet with Dmitry Bikbaev, he managed to take third place. This project brought Vlad fame and the opportunity to develop his vocal abilities.

Vlad Sokolovsky

Sokolovsky first met his future wife on this project. The young artists became good friends. Margarita Gerasimovich was seventeen years old at that time. Vlad and Margarita started a love relationship after the project.

Personal life of Vlad Sokolovsky

Sokolovsky’s relationships with the opposite sex have become the object of close attention of journalists since his participation in “Star Factory”. The young man always stated in the press that he did not have a girlfriend. But then information began to appear about the talented artist’s lovers. At first, “Factory” participant Yulia Parshuta, whom he met during the filming of the project, was considered his chosen one. As soon as the project ended, they broke up. Therefore, there was information in the media that this novel was not real, and its purpose was to attract increased attention to talented performers.

In 2008, Vlad began dating MGIMO student Daria Garnizova. He met her during the next concert tour of the BiS group. At first, he managed to hide his affair with this girl from the press, but then the artist announced that he wanted to propose to Daria. The father of the famous singer and dancer even spoke about their relationship, which had lasted for several years at that time. But the wedding of Vlad and Daria did not take place, the couple broke up. There were rumors that Sokolovsky was in a relationship with Kira Plastinina, but she denied these rumors, saying that she and Vlad were just friends, and had been since childhood.

Vlad’s next chosen one was Rita Dakota, with whom they have been together since 2014. Their meeting took place at the seventh “Factory”, after which the young people first began to just be friends, and then turned their relationship into a romantic direction. 6 months after they started dating, Vlad introduced Rita to his parents, and a year later he proposed to marry him.

The young couple tied the knot on June 3, 2020 - on this day they simply signed at the registry office. Sokolovsky clarified that his parents also got married on this day and celebrated their silver wedding on their son’s wedding day. And 5 days later they held a wedding celebration in a “retro” style. Friends of the couple reported in April of this year that Vlad and Rita were expecting a new addition to their family at the end of the year.

"Bis"

After the end of the project, Vlad and Dmitry continued their collaboration as the group “BiS”. Over the course of two and a half years, the duo became the winner of many awards. In 2008, the group was awarded the Golden Gramophone prize for the song “Closer”; in the same year, for the composition “Katya” they became a laureate of the Song of the Year festival.

Vlad Sokolovsky

The following year, “BiS” received several awards and titles at once. For the song “Ships” - Laureate of the festival “Song of the Year”, as well as the Muz-TV award in the category “Best Pop Group”, the “FZ-Awards” - Manufacturer of the Year, the World Fashion Awards for the best ringtone and the “Herbal” award Essences Young Icons.

In the spring of 2009, the album “Bipolar World” was released, the title song of which was written by Vlad. The album includes the following songs: “Pause Repeat” (authors: M. Gerasimovich and V. Sokolovsky) and “Nights without you” (authors: V. Sokolovsky and D. Bikbaev) and many others. Throughout 2008, 2009 and 2010, the group released five videos for the songs: “Yours or Nobody’s”, “Katya”, “Ships”, “Mr. DJ” and “Emptiness”. All the clips were at the top of the charts on the leading music channels in Russia. In mid-2010, the BiS group ceased to exist, and the hero of our article continued to collaborate with K. Meladze, but only as a solo performer.

Vlad Sokolovsky

Vsevolod Andreevich Sokolovsky (Vlad Sokolovsky, born September 24, 1991 in Moscow) is a Russian pop singer, songwriter, producer and TV presenter. His parents are connected with art: his father, Andrei Aleksandrovich, is a popular choreographer, his mother, Irina Vsevolodovna, is an Honored Artist of Russia, stage director, and a circus performer in her youth.

Thanks to his parents’ active involvement in show business, the boy’s childhood years were spent in close connection with the world of art. Throughout his adult life, Vsevolod was engaged in either choreography or vocals. For the first time in cinema, Vlad starred in an episode of the film “Scam, Music, Love” at the age of five.

The story of Vlad’s first performance on stage is interesting: his parents were preparing a concert production for Philip Kirkorov, and at the concert, after one of the songs, the boy went up to the singer to present a bouquet of flowers. Having a love for unexpected actions, Philip Bedrosovich invited Vsevolod to stay and sing a duet. And this trick was so loved by both the audience and the performers that for another two years Sokolovsky sang the song “My Bunny” together with Kirkorov. Two years later, young Sokolovsky appeared with this song at the Morning Star concert, where he and Philip Bedrosovich staged a real mini-show.

Even before entering school, Vlad spent a lot of time in his father’s vocal and dance group - “I.K.S. Mission”. Working in a team was detrimental to school studies, so Irina and Andrey at some point decided to remove their son from show business.

The boy began attending a classical dance school, which allowed him to sacrifice less for his general education, and five years later Sokolovsky began collaborating with the Todes show ballet.

Young Sokolovsky wanted to finally show everything he was capable of and finally start a solo career, so he decided to try his hand at the “Star Factory-7” show, calculating that the professionals on the jury simply could not miss such talent. The young man’s parents were wary of this decision, believing that at just 16 years old, Vlad had not found his feet enough in terms of professionalism.

Despite his parents' fears, Sokolovsky passed the casting with flying colors and ended up on the show. Once on the project, Vlad instantly became a favorite of the public and the media: the charming young man won audience votes more than once, and was also recognized several times as the best participant in the project according to the audience. During the program, an important event occurred that pushed the singer to the pinnacle of fame: under the leadership of Konstantin Meladze, a duet of Sokolovsky and Dima Bikbaev called “BiS” was formed.

As a result, the BiS duet became the bronze medalist of the project, losing to Anastasia Prikhodko and Mark Tishman. Bikbaev and Sokolovsky began performing at the end of 2007, soon gaining a foothold in the top positions of the ratings thanks to several hits.

In 2009, “BiS” released their first album, “Bipolar World,” where Vlad co-wrote several songs. The album and individual compositions were a great success, and it seemed that things would only get better.

From 2008 to 2010, five videos were released: the song and video “Yours or Nobody’s” (2008, director Alan Badoev), “Katya” (2008, director Alan Badoev), “Ships” (2009, director Alan Badoev), “Mr. DJ” (2009, directed by Sergei Solodky), “Emptiness” (2009, directed by Sergey Solodky). Each of the clips took first place in the charts of leading Russian music channels for a long time.

In June 2010, Sokolovsky announced the breakup of the group, which came as a surprise to his colleague Bikbaev. Subsequently, Dmitry took up theater and his own group, and Vlad Sokolovsky continued his collaboration with Konstantin Meladze.

In September of the same 2009, the singer presented his solo vocal and dance project “VS”. He recorded several songs and received the title of best singer of the year according to YES! magazine.

In the fall, Vlad and Konstantin Meladze stop working together, citing the lack of time from the producer. Sokolovsky emphasized that he and Konstantin remained on friendly terms. After some time, despite previously made statements about the start of independent work, Vlad begins to collaborate with Dima Bilan and Yana Rudkovskaya, declaring them his co-producers. Together with this team, Vlad released several successful singles, but in October 2012 he announced the decision to produce himself independently.

In 2013, Vlad’s first solo album, entitled “Fragments of the Soul,” was released. The singer wrote most of the songs himself.

Since 2014, Vlad began a serious relationship with Rita Dakota, whom he met at the Star Factory-7 project. Less than six months after the start of the relationship, Vsevolod introduced his chosen one to his parents, and a year later the couple confirmed their intention to tie the knot. Sokolovsky and Dakota got married on June 3, 2020. The singer clarified that the date has special significance: on this day his parents celebrate their silver wedding.

In August 2020, it became known about the divorce of Rita and Vlad due to numerous infidelities. The divorce process was not simple, but in the end the singer decided to leave all the jointly acquired property to his wife and daughter, in whose name, in particular, the apartment was transferred.

For Dakota, the “New Lines” video became a kind of creative farewell to Sokolovsky. To bring the story to a logical conclusion, the singer had to pay a visit to Bali, since it was on this island that Vlad proposed to Rita. The ritual burning of a piano on the ocean shore became a symbol of the completion of this life story.

On May 11, 2020, Vlad informed his followers on Instagram that he had tested positive for coronavirus.

Personal life

Ever since Vlad’s participation in the Star Factory project, media representatives have closely followed his personal life. At that time, he was in a relationship with Yulia Parshuta, but after the end of the show, the couple broke up the affair. People believed that this relationship was just a fiction that was supposed to attract attention to them.

In 2008, Sokolovsky started an affair with Daria Garnizova. At that time she was a student at MGIMO. The couple met at one of the concerts of the BiS group. The serious relationship lasted for three years, but it never came to a wedding; Dasha and Vsevolod broke up. There were rumors that Vlad Sokolovsky met with Kira Plastinina, but both artists denied this gossip. They claim that their close communication is a consequence of friendship since childhood.

Matters of the heart

The biography and personal life of Vlad Sokolovsky was no less interesting than his creative life. The young man was credited with an affair with Yulia Parshuta, but the information is not true. At one time, Vsevolod had a warm relationship with MGIMO student Daria Garnizova. In an interview, the guy admitted: he wanted to see the girl as his wife, but life decreed otherwise.

The young man met Rita Dakota at the Star Factory, then their paths diverged, and 8 years later the young people met again, literally without recognizing each other. The flamboyant rocker gained femininity, and Vlad Sokolovsky matured, changing his image.

The young people’s romantic relationship lasted six months, after which the artist confirmed the seriousness of his intentions by proposing marriage to his beloved.

Don't tempt fate. Stories from doctors and people who defeated COVID-19 “The most important thing for me is that I had not seen anyone before meeting Mia and came to see her that week straight from the dacha. I did this on purpose, knowing that afterwards I would have a meeting, which, apparently, exposed me to this risk,” he wrote.

According to Sokolovsky, his data has already been received by Rospotrebnadzor and they should contact him to take a second analysis. “Next, a doctor will be assigned to me, and I will be isolated for 2 weeks,” Sokolovsky explained.

The singer called on all his fans to observe self-isolation. “From my experience, you can be sure that this is not a myth. The problem really exists, and we must take its solution, or better yet, its prevention as seriously as possible. Self-isolation is important,” he concluded.
