Today with Erudite there are such young and successful parents! Stepan Ledkov is the vocalist of the group Marseille, winner of two Golden Gramophones, an aspiring director and producer, Katya Klein is Stepan’s charming wife and director of the St. Petersburg club “RukiVverh Bar”. However major success The young couple is son Danya and daughter Adrian.
Let's start with what is closest to you - music. Since our magazine is for parents, we are primarily interested in questions about the influence of the family on the formation of the views and interests of a growing child. Tell me, how did your parents feel about your choice of musical direction?
Katya: When I was very little, I chose the music that my mom and dad listened to. She ran around the apartment with the player and hummed songs. My parents never tried to protect me from what I liked, rather the opposite. For this I am very grateful to them.
Stepan: Regarding classical education: I would not say that it is very important. In general, playing music is very useful, but using modern techniques so that the child really likes it, so that he wants to go to classes again and again, so that classes are held as a kind of game, at least when the child is still very small.
In general, being creative is very useful. Even if your child painted the wallpaper or drew a scrawl on the sofa, don’t scold him too much, because he did it as a creative unit, don’t ruin his talent.
Besides you, how musical is your family? Did you get the traditional musical education? If necessary modern child music education in its classical form?
Katya: I believe that a priori music education cannot give anything bad. Music develops, and in life, even if a child chooses a profession not related to music, it will not be superfluous.
Stepan: There are no musicians in my family and never have been, I became a musician partly by accident: one day in class, probably in the ninth, I went out for a walk in my city of Naryan-Mar and met my friend Igor Ruzhnikov on the street, he was walking with guitar somewhere in the evening. I asked where he was going, and he replied that in their cultural and sports complex one guy was organizing a group, and he was invited to play there as a guitarist. I asked to go with him, and when I arrived, I saw that the drummer, bassist, and keyboard player had already gathered there, and only the vocalist had not come. I was offered to sing, and that’s how I ended up in my first group. They called the group “Uncle Styopa”.
In general, my education is as a show program director. I never studied or studied music anywhere.
Musicians often admit that at concerts they often perform the music that listeners like, but when alone they prefer to listen to completely different music. Are you taking a break from your music? What kind of music do you like?
Stepan: Of course, you shouldn’t listen to your music all the time. It’s important that you don’t get bored with your own material; if you don’t get bored with it years later, it means it’s really good music. If you listen to your own every day, then you can stop putting your soul into songs at concerts, but you really want the audience who come to the concerts to receive one hundred percent of what they should receive.
Are there any traditions and values that were instilled in you by your parents that you instill in your children today?
Stepan: My grandmother almost never scolded me, and if she scolded me, it was only for the sake of it, and I try to treat my children in the same way: show love, devote a lot of time to them, play together.
Therefore, we try to celebrate all holidays with family, however, with my profession it is very difficult to do this. But, despite this rhythm of life, we try to spend every free minute together. On the weekend, for example, we were in Peterhof, although not for long: everyone was very cold.
Do you think that children should be given a diverse education: dancing, music, sports, etc., or is it better to focus on one area?
Katya: Definitely for a diverse education! Since childhood, I myself have been interested in various things: choreography, swimming, knitting, embroidery, music, dancing, and learned to cook with my mother.
Now I understand that this has been very useful to me in my life! I think this is generally a very important part of education: giving a child the opportunity to try himself in everything and choose what he likes, without imposing one thing.
Stepan: I believe that there is no need to force a child to do anything. You need to make sure that he likes it himself. If he doesn’t want to go to football, there’s no need to force him. Nothing good will come of this: you will only become tense, nervous, this is very bad. And if he shows a craving for something, then, on the contrary, you need to support him.
Ekaterina, how do you pamper your children and husband at home, what do you cook for them, we saw photos of your dishes on social networks. How long have you been interested in cooking?
Katya: I love cooking! I'm just a fan of this process! I love the feeling of being able to experiment, coming up with something new every time. I indulge in everything: baking, Italian cuisine... I share photos and recipes with my subscribers, since a lot of moms read me.
Katya, this is not your first day as a mother. What advice do you have for those who will return from the maternity hospital tomorrow with a baby in their arms?
Do not treat your navel with brilliant green! (laughs). All hands will be green and so will the baby’s tummy!
I became a mother for the first time when I was 18. This is quite young age. Many are afraid, and it seems that it will not work out: great responsibility, lack of information, fear, panic. The realization that you are a “mother” does not come immediately. And when it comes, when these little hands reach out to you, and you understand that for this little one you are a huge planet, the most important person, incomparable happiness comes. Don't be afraid, learn, make mistakes, learn again. This is normal, this is cyclical and this is correct.
Thank you very much for the interesting conversation. Any wishes for our readers?
Make friends with your little ones, love them, look at the world through their eyes! Children are our mirror. Remember that only we ourselves can make our children either happy or unhappy. Everything passes. And our children always stay with us!
The Marseille group was created in 2005. Then students of St. Petersburg State University Culture and Arts (SPbGUKI) Mitya Blinov and Zhenya Babenko gathered a team to participate in one of the student song competitions. The day before, Mitya almost walked past the notice posted near the dean’s office. I came back and decided that I needed to gather my friends and try.
The guys invited their classmate, a student of the “non-musical” faculty - directing and production - Styopa Ledkov, to play the role of vocalist. And all because Styopa had already managed to earn local fame among his dorm neighbors, singing his own songs in the smoking room with a guitar. For the competition, the guys made arrangements for two compositions, one of which - “To the South” - would later appear on the soundtrack of the hit film “We are from the Future” (2008).
"We didn't choose musical style. At first, we only went out on the basis that Styopa behaved very fiery on stage. Everything began to take shape into some kind of musical style much later. And even then, our choice was not rational. We never discussed that we would play this and that. We just did what we liked. They did it from the heart. “We did what we truly enjoyed,”- Zhenya Babenko, group “Marseille” (music, keyboards, music production).
“We immediately started playing our songs. We didn’t cover anything, we didn’t practice anything. We liked it so much that we wanted to share this mood with others. So we deliberately opened the window in our rehearsal room in the dorm so that we could be heard as much as possible. more people» , - Styopa Ledkov, group “Marseille” (vocals, lyrics).
The name of the group was invented almost according to the same scheme. No one gave rational arguments in favor of this or that “name.” So for Styopa, “Marseille” became an excerpt from beautiful phrase“farewell Marcel”, which he wanted to insert into one of his songs. Following this, they remembered that Marseille is the second city in France after Paris, where there is that special mix of cultures, styles, lifestyles, characters that are also present in the group’s music. Someone mentioned Marcel Proust, whose book "Under the Shadow of the Maidens in Bloom" is one of the greatest examples of romantic prose. It turned out that “Marseille” easily turns into an abbreviation of the first letters of the names of the members of the first line-up of the group plus the obligatory letter “L” - “live”.
"Presentation" competitive program The group took place in the student cafe "Anna", and the next day the guys already took the stage in front of the "grand jury" at the Rossi club. And the very first competition brought the boys their first success. The management of the club, where the noisy student session took place, invited Marseille to perform in one of concert programs. And immediately on completely professional terms. St. Petersburg's promoters immediately realized that the guys could do much more with their music than with any other musical activity. They asked only one thing - play. They played. And at student parties, and in chic clubs in St. Petersburg.
“We’ve never had to ask for something: let us come to your club to play. No, they called us themselves. We didn’t distribute flyers, didn’t put up posters, and didn’t sell tickets to our own performances. We only did what we liked, what we sincerely loved and what was truly interesting to us: we played and came up with music, wrote songs,”- Mitya Blinov, group “Marseille” (music, saxophone).
In 2007, the group "Marseille" performed at All-Russian competition“Live the Music!”, the jury of which was headed by famous musician and producer Sergei Zhukov. He was so impressed by the guys’ victory that he not only gave them a prize - a cooler bag with plates, which Styopa still keeps at home - but also offered to work together. The festival organizers promised the winners to also finance the recording of the album and the shooting of the video. But according to Russian tradition, at the last moment it turned out that there was no money. It’s good that Zhukov stayed.
It was at the instigation of Sergei Zhukov that the Marseille group performed in the finals of the Five Stars competition under the patronage of Channel One in Sochi. But Marseille participated in the selection on a general basis. Moreover, until the very last moment it was not clear whether “Marseille” would be accepted into the competition or whether their place would be taken by artists more experienced in behind-the-scenes intrigue. Joseph Davydovich Kobzon himself, the president of the festival, and Larisa Dolina, Honored Artist of Russia, stood up for the guys. It was for the sake of “Marseille” that the administration of the competition took an unprecedented step: the number of participants in the final was increased.
“No one could tell us for sure whether we would go to the finals in Sochi. Every week Zhukov called us and said “we passed”, after a few days - “we didn’t pass”. This went on for a very long time, we decided that nothing would happen, the guys went home, and only I remained in St. Petersburg. As I remember now: St. Petersburg, three o’clock in the morning, my friends and I were hanging out on the open veranda of one of the clubs, and Zhukov called me. “What the hell?” - I thought. And Zhukov just shouts into the phone: “Styopa! Just believe me! This time everything is accurate. You've passed!- Styopa Ledkov.
Unfortunately, the guys did not manage to perform with five points as part of the Five Stars festival. Almost the entire festival they walked in a group of leaders. But on the third day of the competition, when the participants had to perform a cover version of Sofia Rotaru’s song, the vocalist of “Marseille” Stepa Ledkov simply... turned off the ear monitor. And since the concert was held in live Channel One, there was no time to remove the overlay. Stepa had to sing, focusing solely on the echo that was returning from the hall. The performance turned out to be crumpled, and the Marseille group received the minimum points from the jury, moving from among the favorites of the competition to the category of outsiders.
Fortunately, no one made a tragedy out of it. The guys continued to play, continued to write and record music, opened their own website, started an official group on a popular website in social network, writes./../.. “Marseille” began its first tour. Moreover, without any radio broadcasts or powerful support in the press and on television. The guys found all the contacts of regional promoters themselves, negotiated themselves, and worked on their own tour schedule.
“We, of course, were upset by what happened at the competition... We even fell into depression for a short time and stood still for about six months. Then they started working again. We recorded, posted tracks online, and worked on the group. By the way, only thanks to this group we traveled to a bunch of cities in our country. We didn’t have any radio broadcasts or a video yet, but we were already invited to concerts.”, - Mitya Blinov.
In 2008, director Andrei Malyukov invited Styopa Ledkov to play the cameo role of Private Yelin in the film “We are from the Future.” The director not only featured the vocalist of the group “Marseille” in his film, but also invited the guys to write the title song for the opening credits of the film. The producers of the film were going to give this honorable right to another group, but Andrei insisted on the candidacy of the Marseille group. As a result, literally in two days Styopa, Zhenya and Mitya wrote a song, “Better We Are Not Here,” which is completely uncharacteristic of the group’s work. When the song began to be recorded in the studio, Andrei Malyukov took an active part in the recording, playing the role of a creative producer of the composition: he helped Stepa get into the mood and rhythm of the movie picture as accurately as possible. In addition to “We’re No Better Here,” the film also featured the song “To the South.”
“Andrey Malyukov always believed in me. And so much so that when a conflict arose over who would sing in the film, Andrei insisted on our candidacy. He simply gave the producers an ultimatum: either the group “Marseille” sings in the cinema, or you remove my name from the credits. So thank him very much!”- Styopa Ledkov.
The guys shot their first video with their own money. It turned out that Pasha Sidorov, an old acquaintance of Styopa Ledkov from university, began working with St. Petersburg rap artists as a director. And when the guys met on the set of KaZhe Oboyma’s video, Styopa invited Pasha to shoot a video for the song “How Much ...” for the group “Marseille”. The money necessary for filming was earned in two concerts, and the extras in the video were recruited with the help of official group In contact with. The director of the video was Pasha's wife and his assistant, Maria Unzhakova. It's funny what main character played in the video ex-girlfriend Styopa Legkova, with whom they broke up before the video was released.
“It often happens that they try to decide for us: who is right for us and why we should be together... The same story happened in my life. Late in the evening I was walking along the embankment of the Griboedov Canal and the lines were born in my head: “No matter how much people say: “Why?”, We will still continue to live,” going into a cafe, I sat down and immediately wrote a song. I want to say with this song that we must learn to listen only to our hearts. Don’t be afraid to love!”- Styopa Ledkov.
In 2009, the Marseille group won new victory. Having registered in the first creative network “I am Talent”, they almost immediately pulled out happy ticket. Literally a couple of weeks after registration, they received a call and were offered to sign a contract. So it began new page in the history of the group.
“At first we were quite skeptical about this cooperation. We have been offered some kind of contracts more than once. But each time they were somehow one-sided. It felt like everyone was just waiting for us to do something meaningful. And then what we will do is somehow use it to our advantage. Therefore, the contract is a happy exception. For the first time they started helping us. And now only one thing is needed from us - write music and make good songs» , - Mitya Blinov.

“We have never been a project. Yes, we got together and tried our hand at the competition. But we never did anything by calculation - people should like this, but not this. We have always done what interests us. We wanted to make music with love, so that we ourselves would like it and could listen to it ourselves. This is probably why we formed a friendly team so quickly. It's a group, not a "project", - Mitya Blinov.

The Marseille group are young guys, but already winners of many famous music awards (from the Muz-TV Award to the Golden Gramophone) with the hits “No matter how much people say”, “Where”, “This song is for you” "and many others. Everything is fine with them and personal life.

A story like a fairy tale? Let's find out how we managed to make it come true!
Ekaterina, you are an active businesswoman, combining work as an art director in two top bars in St. Petersburg with the role of a loving wife and mother of two children. How do you do this?
It’s just that my whole life is a thrill! (Laughs). I treat her like she's big interesting game, including with difficult situations, from which there is always a way out. My family is also my team! We're all in this together! Everyone, from the littlest Adriana (the one-and-a-half-year-old daughter of Stepan and Ekaterina - editor's note) to our nanny, takes part in my development, in my work. And I owe it to my family that I do what I love. It is the support and help of my family that gives me the strength to manage to do a lot. Children are my main motivation for an active life. I am 25, my son Dana is already 7 years old and he comes up with names for new dishes or some ideas for a restaurant. The truth speaks through the mouth of a baby. His ideas sometimes bring me into a state of complete delight. They are so simple and so brilliant, and I hadn’t thought of it before.

How does your husband feel about you working so much?
Stepa is mine best friend, my beloved person, my husband, my colleague, my world. We carry out all our projects together, and without him I would not have achieved anything at all and would not have been able to produce results in such quantities. He is talented and very creative person, in addition to being the frontman of the Marseille group, he is a professional media designer, an excellent copywriter and an excellent organizer. He is a director by education, a singer and composer by vocation, and a father by nature. I married a completely unique person. And he, just like me, enjoys the fact that we do everything together.
Do you agree that often “the family boat breaks in everyday life”? What should be done to prevent this from happening?
Agree. The fact is that most married couples limited by stereotypes that a family consists of a wife who sits at home with the children and a husband who is at work from morning to evening. He is sure that his wife does nothing all day long, and she believes that no one helps her with anything. This is probably how 70 percent of married couples with children live. If you look at it more broadly, we meet our loved ones being carefree, beautiful, free and in love. There are no boundaries, no restrictions. There is only one way out. Remain in this state always. Find time for love and do not forget what connected you. There must be common interests. Without them there can be no relationship.
Do you like doing housework?
Oh yeah! But because I’m so busy, I won’t lie, most often my house is a mess. (Smiles). Let's call it creative. (Laughs)
Is there one chore that always calms you down?
Cooking definitely calms me down and makes me completely happy. I love coockie so much! I teach children and enjoy myself. And she even taught her husband to cook. I involved him in this matter. Now he makes me happy with his dinners, proudly serving a new dish every time.
Which Appliances Does your home particularly make your life easier?
Vacuum cleaner! Brilliant invention! (Laughs). Well, if we talk about what is most often used, this is, of course, a refrigerator, stove and kettle.
Is there any chore that your husband enjoys doing?
In general, my husband can always clean up the house very quickly and efficiently. I don’t know how he does it, but it may only take him 20 minutes and... the house is already clean. And he can very quickly find any lost item. (Smiles)
Do you involve your children and other household members in cleaning the house, tending the garden, and preparing meals?
Everyone helps. Our daughter already understands what it means to wash, vacuum, wipe off dust and put things away after herself. Danya can wash dishes with ease, and together with her sister they really like to learn how to cook. Nanny Marina is the most important assistant, a person to whom I am immensely grateful for the fact that she is always with us. When I come home, I thank God for such a wonderful nanny for my children and for her understanding. She helps a lot.
The trick is to turn cleaning into exercise. This good motivation- do everything efficiently and quickly, and most importantly, with benefit! (Laughs).
What makes an ordinary person popular? Why do many Internet users begin to closely monitor the life of another person who is not a show business star, media personality or socialite, subscribing to his page on social networks or public pages? Sometimes even those responsible for universal love and admiration cannot give an exact answer.
Katya Klein does not consider herself a social media star, but she has many more subscribers than some celebrities. She is an ordinary girl from St. Petersburg who once did not hesitate to tell her own story on Instagram. In today's material, the reader will learn everything and even more about Katya. But first, a few words about the childhood of the popular “baby”.
Who is this famous girl?
Katya Klein was born in the most beautiful city in the world of St. Petersburg. There were two children in the family, the girl has brother. Katya's parents were employees of the tax service, where they met. Of course, when you grow up in a place where there are white nights and a lot of clubs, you are drawn into the atmosphere of fun and communication like a funnel. This happened with Katya too. In her interviews, she recalls her crazy youth, partying until dawn and other joys of her growing up.
The girl was never different from others, rather the opposite. Her height was only 1 cm, and her weight was about 65 kg. Perhaps these parameters would not matter if they did not belong to today's heroine. Katya Klein was affectionately called little in the family, then this nickname firmly stuck to her.
One day, a work colleague told Katya that from now on she would call her “Klein” (from German word, meaning “small” in translation), because she doesn’t want to be like others. Everyone around the girl liked the new nickname, and they began to call her in a new way. This is exactly how the now famous pseudonym Klein appeared, which some people who are not familiar with the girl consider to be her real surname.
Background that led to popularity
As mentioned above, Katya Klein, with her short stature, weighed 65 kg. This didn't bother her until a certain point. In fact, the girl says that all her close people and circle of friends have always admired her appearance, including weight. It got to the point that Klein herself believed that everything with her forms was in perfect order and nothing needed to be changed.
One day, while taking a photo, Katya stood in an unusual position for herself and was horrified. According to the girl, what she saw in the picture left her in a slight shock. She realized that at not quite 25 years old she looked very plump, no matter how paradoxical it may sound. The girl decided to take on her figure and put her body in order at all costs. She didn’t know where to start and how to achieve the desired results until she accidentally came across Olga Marquez’s note, which completely changed Katya Klein’s worldview.
Weight Loss School
So what happened to Katya Klein? Everything is quite simple, she took a six-week course at Olga Marcel’s Weight Loss School, and filmed the entire transformation process on her phone. Then the girl published a photo on a social network, telling her weight loss story. That's when it all started. The number of subscribers began to increase day by day, thousands of comments began to pour in, which the girl did not have time to respond to. Katya Klein recalls this moment with a smile on her face, saying that she was absolutely unprepared for such a human “attack” and the popularity that fell on her.
The girl notices that many of her subscribers, seeing the rapid weight loss, often asked the question of what Katya Klein was sick with, and even offered to help. Katya was very touched that there are so many caring people in the world. Then there was another wave of excitement on her page on the social network, which occurred during the girl’s second pregnancy. Klein published a post where she told her many followers that she would soon become a mother for the second time.
Personal life
Katya Klein now bears the surname of her second husband Stepan Ledkov, who is creative personality. He is a singer in the popular St. Petersburg group "Marseille". The girl met him in 2004 at a night party at the Tunnel club. She was not yet married then and enjoyed her youth to the fullest, just like her current husband. By the way, he had a rather unstable reputation at that time: he loved to fight and cause trouble. For such, to put it mildly, uncultured behavior, he was banned from entering almost all clubs in St. Petersburg.
It was for this reason that the acquaintance of Klein and Ledkov did not continue, without having time to begin properly, although the young people liked each other. Fate separated them for several years. During this time, Katya managed to get married and give birth to a son, Danya, and Stepan met a girl and lived with her for quite a long time.
Breakup with first husband and wedding with second
Katya Klein’s first husband was a great man, but the characters of the young people, according to the girl, were completely different. Problems arose in the relationship between the spouses, and it came to divorce. Then Katya devoted a lot of time to the social network VKontakte, and one day she received a letter from Stepan Ledkov. The girl was delighted to see her old acquaintance and answered him with great pleasure. The conversation lasted more than 8 hours, and then the guys spent almost every night on the Internet, communicating with each other.
After several months of correspondence they met. It happened on Valentine's Day at the Big Love Show. The guys have been together since then. Having lived together for more than 6 years and given birth to a daughter, Adriana, Katya Klein and Stepan Ledkov got married and went on a romantic trip to Thailand. By the way, in many publications you can find information that the couple has two children together. This is only partly true, because Ledkov is not Dana’s own father, although, according to Katya, the man is raising him as his own.
Favorite work of Katya Klein
In St. Petersburg in May 2013, the opening of a club took place, in which, according to the management’s plan, people should gather music lovers, Tasty food, communication and wine. The name of the restaurant is PMIbar. Katya Klein is the art director of the establishment. She takes pride in her work and puts her whole heart into what she loves. The girl admits that she fell in love with this place as soon as she crossed its threshold: a huge area (about 500 sq. m), several halls, 3 floors, a terrace, an exclusive interior, original cuisine - I want to offer and advertise all this. Klein says he also plays a place special role. PMIbar is located on the embankment of the Moika River in St. Petersburg. Relatives see that dramatic changes have happened to Katya Klein. She became infected with the idea and goes to work every day with great pleasure.
Girl's hobbies
Katja Klein leads quite active image life. On weekends, she and her husband often spend time sports activities. They can be found riding bikes around the park, and in winter the couple often goes snowboarding. Big love Klein is an Infinity car. She takes a lot of photos for her subscribers while driving.
By the way, recently followers were seriously worried, believing that something irreparable had happened to Katya Klein. All because of a post published by the girl herself, where she admitted that it was her own fault that she ended up in car accident. Fortunately, nothing bad, much less tragic, happened, Katya assures everyone. However, she is upset that she dented her beloved car a little.
Attitude to life
Katya Klein noted in one of her interviews that she is first and foremost a mother and loving wife, who will always and absolutely support her loved ones in any situation, and then an art director and a celebrity. She is baptized and believes in God and fate. She is involved in charity work and has helped many children who are terminally ill. In general, Katya Klein is afraid of illnesses and often asks the Almighty for help.
Having many followers who closely follow her life, she does not consider herself a star at all. Her opinion on this matter is: “I absolutely a common person, but my husband is a star. I really hate going shopping with him, the fans are overwhelming." It is worth saying that, having chosen the right way In terms of nutrition, Klein and her husband encouraged this. Now the couple eats healthy together and they both look great.

In 2005, students of the St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts (SPbGUKI) Mitya Blinov and Zhenya Babenko gathered a team to participate in one of the student song competitions. The day before, Mitya almost walked past the notice posted near the dean’s office. I came back and decided that I needed to gather my friends and try.
The guys invited their classmate, a student of the “non-musical” faculty - directing and production - Styopa Ledkov, to play the role of vocalist. And all because Styopa had already managed to earn local fame among his dorm neighbors, singing his own songs in the smoking room with a guitar. For the competition, the guys made arrangements for two compositions, one of which - “To the South” - would later appear on the soundtrack of the hit film “We are from the Future” (2008).
The “presentation” of the group’s competition program took place in the Anna cafe, and the next day the guys already appeared on stage in front of the “grand jury” at the Rossi club. And the very first competition brought success to the boys.
The club's management invited Marseille to perform in one of the concert programs. And immediately on professional terms. The promoters immediately realized that the guys could do more with their music than with any other musical activity. They asked only one thing - play. They played. Both at student parties and in clubs in St. Petersburg.
In 2007, the Marseille group performed at the Live the Music! competition, the jury of which was headed by the famous musician and producer Sergei Zhukov.
He was so impressed by the guys’ victory that he not only gave them a prize - a cooler bag with plates, which Styopa still keeps at home - but also offered to work together. The festival organizers promised the winners to also finance the recording of the album and the shooting of the video. But according to Russian tradition, at the last moment it turned out that there was no money.
The group "Marseille" performed in the finals of the "Five Stars" competition.
But Marseille participated in the selection on a general basis. Moreover, until the very last moment it was not clear whether “Marseille” would be accepted into the competition or whether their place would be taken by artists more experienced in behind-the-scenes intrigue. Joseph Kobzon and Larisa Dolina stood up for the guys.
