Andrei Aleksandrovich Sokolovsky is older than his wife. Andrey Sokolovsky: “We strive for harmony in everything

Vlad Sokolovsky followed his father’s path - like his dad, he became a member of a boy band. :) And just as Andrei Sokolovsky, the leader of the most popular group “IKS-Mission” in the 90s, traveled all over the country with concerts and got into all the charts, in the same way Vlad Sokolovsky, a member of the group “BiS”, goes on tours around Russia and ranks first in the ratings. But, despite his father’s experience, help and connections, Vlad himself had to go through a difficult path to fame.

Andrey Sokolovsky

At what point did you realize: Vlad can succeed?
Oh, that didn't happen! The fact is that we did not raise a star. First of all, we raised our son, and secondly, a professional who would know his business well.

How did Vlad's career begin?
At the age of 2.5 he starred in a movie in a cameo role, the film was called “The Scam. Music. Love". There he participated in scenes with Pankratov-Cherny. Our eldest daughter played the main child role there. And in Vlad the director saw an episodic hero and said: I need this boy! So we never brought him to castings. Despite the fact that Vlad acted in a movie for the first time, he behaved absolutely harmoniously and improvised a lot.

What was the next step?
From the age of two he did gymnastics every day. And at the age of 4 he came to visit me for the first time on tour. At that moment I was the choreographer of the program “I am not Raphael” by Philip Kirkorov. All this accidentally grew into a story known to everyone, when Vlad sang “My Bunny” at “Song of the Year-96”. At the age of 5, he entered an art school to learn the basics of dance, and at the age of seven he began going to the Todes studio. And at the same time he performed in two musicals. So he had acting and choreographic practice, and sometimes I took him on tour, where I sang with X-Mission.

Knowing all the pitfalls of the world of show business, how did you decide to let your son go on such a “cruel” voyage?
Nobody let him go there! He was already born in the show business movement. When Vlad was born, I worked as a dance director with the most different stars and was the chief choreographer of the Pugacheva Theater. Vlad, as they say, was born in sawdust, and he liked it all. Since childhood, he had seen the circus, the theater, and the stage; he knew the backstage and how it worked. For him it was all a kind of child's play.

How did gaming become a profession?
Apparently, when he performed, the realization came to him that he liked it all. He realized that people were interested in him. When he graduated from the Todes ballet studio (and he studied there for 8 years), he could start working in the main cast, but he saw himself as more than just a dancer - he saw himself as a soloist, singer, showman.

But studying at the art school, at the Todes studio - these were your decisions, right?
We didn’t impose anything on him, it was all independent work. He came home from school, did his homework, took his briefcase and went to rehearsals. That is, by and large, if he didn’t like it initially, he, like any child, would protest: “I don’t want to do this!”

How did you feel about his decision to go to the Factory?
Irina, Vlad’s mother, and I were against it. We knew that it was psychologically difficult to be there, and we understood that at 15 years old it was difficult to endure such stress.

But Vlad acted contrary to your opinion?
He just decided for himself that he would try. Vlad has always been stubborn by nature. But we never had conflicts, because more often than not we advised him on something, but he himself asked for our opinion.

To what extent is Vlad an independent person and artist now?
He has been independent since childhood - and directors and producers noticed this in him. Even at 5 he was a real man. Tell us about Vlad's relationship with his mother. Whose opinion was more important to him?
Vlad has an extraordinary mother! Moreover, she is also an extraordinary wife. :) The fact is that my wife and I have never had different opinions. Having lived together for over 20 years, we not only say the same things, we think the same things. By profession she is a stage director. So he can also give Vlad advice from his professional point of view.

How did you achieve success yourself? Tell us about your parents.
I was born in the city of Krivoy Rog, my mother was a doctor, and my father was a metallurgist - he worked at a factory all his life. My parents could not help me in any way in my direction. But when I turned 6 years old, they sent me to a dance group. All. Then I had to achieve everything myself. I myself went to St. Petersburg to the ballet academy and studied myself.

Which way is better - independent or with parents' help?
I myself would not have refused if my parents had helped me at one time. This allows you to fully concentrate on your profession. The fact that Vladik started doing his own thing so early gives him a huge head start over his peers. He is only 18 years old, but he already has so much experience.

Vlad Sokolovsky

How much did it help you that your family is from show business?
It helped me. My whole story sounds so bright and colorful, but I don’t want to talk about how hard it was, despite the “famous family”...

This is exactly what is interesting!
I prefer to talk about bright moments. If we talk about the dark ones, the area in which I grew up is far from the most prosperous - Losinoostrovsky Park, a residential area, the outskirts of the city... Sometimes I had to run away from skins and football fans (at that time I was fond of hip-hop culture. ..). It's funny to think about it now... :)

But what about personal driver? Governess?
There were no drivers! From the age of eight I went to rehearsals on my own. Then there was the project “Red Up” with the group “IKS-Mission”, thanks to which I became popular among my circle. It seemed that everyone had seen the advertisement, seen the video... And at school they were always trying to tease me. But I had such a character - tough! - I always got punched in the nose for such things. And so I “took off” at the age of 12, and then what? What happened from 12 to 16 years old? How did I get by there? Nobody knows this! The four years before the “Factory” were oh so difficult!

But would it be harder without a famous dad?
Undoubtedly! But if I were a slacker, I would not use the opportunities that I had, would not listen to any advice, would not be interested in anything, and as a result... at the age of 18 I would sit on my parents’ neck and do nothing. But, fortunately, I put everything on my shoulders and survived.

Do you often turn to your parents for advice? Not in the professional sphere, but in general? For example, are you asking about girls? :)

No, I'll figure this out myself! (Laughs.) Although I’m pleased that they really like my girlfriend. It’s great that they communicate and my significant other and I can come to my parents and feel very comfortable.


What if they were against it? They would say: “We don’t like her, that’s all!”
As a rule, whoever gives you an ultimatum is the one you refuse. If anyone ever says, “Associate with me, not him,” I might just remove the person from my life. It’s clear that I will not refuse my parents under any circumstances, but we will communicate less. In general, we manage everything without conflicts: each of us, knowing each other’s character, does not allow such moments that could ruin the relationship.

How would you make your way if you were born into a simple family?

Vlad Sokolovsky (Vsevolod Andreevich Sokolovsky) was born on September 24, 1991 in Moscow. Boy's parents creative people. His father is a choreographer and creator of the X-Mission group.

The singer indicated the producer's constant lack of time as the reason. Former colleagues maintained friendly relations.


Soon his first solo songs appeared in the rotation of Russian radio stations - “Showers”, “Race”, “The World Has Gone Crazy” and some others. It is quite noteworthy that with the collapse of the BiS group, the popularity of Vlad Sokolovsky only just began to gain momentum. Already as a solo performer, the young artist received many prestigious awards (including the title of best singer of 2010 according to YES magazine), and also starred as a guest star in the Russian version of the series How I Met Your Mother.

A fly in the ointment was sometimes brought in by Internet users who claimed that they had seen Vlad with another woman, but Rita explained this simply - just another haters trying to ruin the idyll.

However, in August 2018, she made a scandalous message about divorce. It turned out that her husband was cheating on her throughout the affair. Even the birth of his daughter did not stop him. Dakota said that Sokolovsky decided to divide the property acquired during marriage, but asked fans not to throw mud at his name. Sokolovsky himself did not comment on the divorce and continued to publish photographs of his daughter on Instagram, accompanying them with captions like “the meaning of my life.”
