"Was more circus“than sense”: Danil Buranov left the show “The Voice”

The young performer from Zelenodolsk, the only representative of Tatarstan, successfully completed all rounds of the popular project over and over again, but failed to take the last step towards the final. Viewers voted for Chinese woman Yang Ge

Season six popular show“The Voice” reached the semi-finals. In the team of each of the mentors - Alexander Gradsky, Pelageya, Leonid Agutin and Dima Bilan - there were only two people left out of fourteen recruited during the “blind auditions”. The participants competed in the same way as in the quarterfinals. Each of the performers sang a song, then the mentor distributed one hundred points - in a ratio of sixty to forty, but the final verdict was made by the audience of the show.

In Dima Bilan's team except Danila Buranova a Chinese woman remained from Zelenodolsk Yang Ge.

Before the broadcast, Danil made a post on his Instagram profile: “The semi-final is today. I feel your support with all my heart and the outcome of today’s “battle” does not really matter. I’m ready to surprise - you’re ready to listen to what else I might need.”

During the “blind auditions,” the young performer said that he got into the project on the third try. Then he performed the song “Out of Orbit” by Yulianna Karaulova. Dima Bilan was the first to turn to him, and then Leonid Agutin. The Zelenodolets chose Bilan as his mentor. With each tour, the musician, together with his mentor, chose more and more complex musical compositions.

The audience knows better

The first girl to perform on Bilan’s team was a girl. Yang Ge took to the stage with the song “There is no rest for my soul,” which we know from the film “ Love affair at work", where it was performed by Alisa Freindlich.

But Danil Buranov got a very complex composition by the American glam metal band Steelheart “She"s gone.” This track was included in the band’s 1990 debut album of the same name.

The numbers turned out, as Gradsky noted, “different.” He liked Danil’s performance, but still had some comments.

Very gifted. May God grant you to read everything a little differently. To make it more meaningful than a circus. Now it was more of a circus to amaze us all - they amazed us. But still, having such a gift, it needs to be used very timely and in small portions, said Alexander Gradsky, with whom the other three mentors agreed.

After the mentors voted, it turned out that Dima Bilan cast his vote for Danil, and the guy began to lead with a difference of 60 to 40 percent. But the audience decided differently - they voted for Yang Ge, giving her 68.7 percent, leaving Danil with 31.3 percent.

As a result, after adding up the points, Yang Ge advanced to the finals with a score of 108.7. Danil Buranov scored 91.3 points and left the project.

TV for grandma

IN final words Danil thanked everyone who makes the “Voice” project and said hello to his grandmother.

She's watching her little TV now, which we watched when I was little. And one day I told her: “Grandma, I will find myself on the other side of the screen.” She might have thought that I was joking, but no,” Danil said.

Dmitry Nagiyev commented on this remark.

I think that very soon you will have the opportunity to buy your grandmother a huge expensive TV.

Season six finale music show The Voice will take place on New Year's Eve, next Friday, December 29th. In it, four finalists - one from each team - will determine best voice countries. The finalists of the project were: Ladislav Bubnar from the Pelageya team, Yang Ge from the Dima Bilan team, Timofey Kopylov from the Leonid Agutin team, Selim Alakhyarov from the Alexander Gradsky team.

“Discussions on national issues should be led by professionals, not journalists”

​Roots of two national cultures- Russian and Tatar - are reflected in the heritage of Tatarstan. And this is business card republics. How to preserve and not separate two cultures at the international level?

Tatarstan and especially Kazan are rightfully considered a tourist center, attracting the attention of not only residents of Russia, but also foreign countries. In the capital of the republic, Slavic and Turkic traditions have long been intertwined. And this cultural heritage can no longer be imagined separately from each other.

Traditions of good neighborliness and close interaction, mutual influence of Russian and Tatar cultures, Slavic and Turkic have a centuries-old history on the territory of Tatarstan. A worthy example of this is the architectural monuments where the Kul Sharif Mosque and the Annunciation Cathedral in the Kazan Kremlin stand side by side. This has already become the norm for residents of the republic, but it always surprises and delights those who come to Kazan for the first time, says the Deputy Minister of Culture of Tatarstan Guzel Sharipova.

She noted that this year the monastery on the island city of Sviyazhsk and the Assumption Cathedral were included in the list of World Cultural and natural heritage UNESCO. An important event was the beginning of the reconstruction of the Cathedral of the Kazan Icon Mother of God Bogoroditsky Monastery. Big job in the republic, restoration of monuments of history and culture of the Russian people is underway. Restoration work was carried out in the house where Gorky lived and worked as a baker. The oldest surviving monument of civil architecture, the Mikhlyaev-Dryablov house, where Peter I stayed, has been restored. A children's school will be formed in this house. Education Centre"Art Museum".

The Peter and Paul Cathedral is being restored, work is underway to restore the Lisitsyn house, in the outbuilding of which Fyodor Chaliapin was born. Design and estimate documentation is being prepared for the restoration of several churches in the regions of the republic. And many, many other monuments cultural heritage, which are located in Kazan. They will also be restored, which will make the city even more attractive to tourists.

In addition, as the Deputy Minister noted, throughout the year a lot of events are held in the republic in support of Slavic writing and culture, Russian language. This is manifested in a huge number of festivals, such as “Russian Song”, “Ivan Kupala”, “Cossack Circle”, “Our Home is Tatarstan”, “Krutushka”, “Karavon”, which this year attracted 160 creative teams and 24,000 guests, “Alekseevsky Chimes”, which attracts bell ringers from all over Russia, “Spasskaya Fair” in Yelabuga, where masters of folk and written art come.

All this stimulates development in the republic folk art, added Guzel Sharipova.

A major role in the preservation and development of Russian cultural heritage in Tatarstan is played by public organizations. One of them is the Russian National Cultural Association. This year it celebrates its fifth anniversary.

Our most important principle is friendly interaction with all 37 national-cultural associations that are part of the Assembly of Peoples of Tatarstan,” said the head of the Russian national-cultural association of Kazan, member of the Public Chamber of the Republic of Tatarstan Irina Alexandrovskaya.

She noted that in recent years there has been a lot of speculation in society on the topic of preserving Russian and Tatar language on the territory of the republic.

This is a very delicate topic. Here it is necessary to pursue a balanced policy and adhere to the principle like doctors - “Do no harm.” Because sloganeering and politicking have become very popular in our time. There are sensitive topics that need to be discussed delicately. And professionals should talk more about this, says Aleksandrovskaya.

According to her observations, when discussing these topics, there are practically no experts in the discussion. Politicians, representatives of government bodies, higher education, and not philologists, journalists, or social activists participate. And there are no true guardians of language and culture.

We must respect the traditions of all peoples living in the republic. And then any question can be translated into a constructive plane,” summarized the head of the Russian National-Cultural Association.

", vocalist Danila Buranov attracted the attention of music lovers long before appearing on the popular talent show on Channel One. Viewers and music lovers learned about the existence of the performer after the release of the television project “ Main stage"and victory in the Internet competition "Highest Standard" in 2015. Participation in the sixth season of “The Voice” cemented the vocalist on the Russian stage, and compliments from the stars domestic show business added Buranov confidence in his strength.

Childhood and youth

The future singer was born on May 22, 1994 in Tatarstan in creative family. Buranov spent his childhood and youth in Zelenodolsk, where his mother Olga Buranova fully realized herself as an artist. Buranova is an opera singer, drama theater actress and honored cultural worker. In addition, the woman is a well-known vocal teacher in the city.

Danil is a long-awaited child in the Buranov family. While waiting for her son to appear, the mother instilled in the boy a good taste in music: she listened to classical music.

Creative biography Danila Buranova began as soon as the boy learned to walk and talk. Mom took little son to performances where he became familiar with the world of art. At the age of 3, Danya helped open and close the curtain, carried light parts of the scenery and participated in the creative process in every possible way.

Danil Buranov, having taken his first steps on stage early, could not imagine life without her. He sang, danced, and delivered memorable monologues from the actors. His mother enrolled the boy in the Orpheus choreography studio, where Danya won city and republican competitions more than once. At the Constellation festival, Buranov was awarded the Grand Prix.

Danil Buranov graduated music school, where he learned to play the piano. My mother taught my son to sing, giving him his first vocal lessons. At the age of 14, the teenager realized that of all the arts he was attracted to music. At the same time, Danil Buranov was noted in the entertainer (in the corresponding nomination he received a prize at the MF “Constellation”) and at the KVN games: from captain school team grew up to become a player in the Russian junior league team.

Buranov graduated from the 9th grade as an external student because of the desire to quickly join the ranks of RATI-GITIS students. Danil entered on the first try and got into the workshop at the faculty pop art. Received the diploma in 2015.

Music

Danil Buranov sang everywhere and a lot: on holiday concerts in his native Zelenodolsk, at school and on the stage of the cultural center, at corporate parties and city events in Kazan. At the age of 16, Danil Buranov and his friends gave their first solo concert in the school assembly hall.

The vocalist's repertoire includes cover versions of world stars and Russian stage, original songs, words and music for which the guy composed himself. Buranov posted some of his compositions on social networks and received hundreds of praise and thousands of reposts. Among the idols of Buranov,. In the capital, Danila Buranov now has a producer who helps him on the path to success.

Exit to big stage did not cause discomfort: Danil was accustomed to being the center of attention since childhood, spoke in front of audiences of thousands at republican and international festivals. IN student years worked part-time on the stages of nightclubs. Confidence in my strength increased after winning the “Highest Test” online competition. The award was presented to the winner by Grigory Leps.

Danil Buranov managed to snatch the leadership from the singer Romadi. The voting results for the two candidates were equal, so the contestants sang the verse of the song “Blizzard” a cappella. Buranov beat the girl by 1 point and was in the lead. In 2016, Danil delighted his fans with his original composition “People,” which received thousands of likes and reposts on the Internet.

Personal life

Information about who is next to Buranov and owns his heart cannot be found. Danil carefully protects his private life from his fans and does not share racy photos on his page with subscribers. "Instagram".

In 2017, the singer celebrated his 23rd birthday and it seems that Danila’s priorities are career and vocal improvement.

On social networks, Buranov has dozens of photographs with stars of Russian show business, with whom the singer crossed paths on various projects and public events. For many of them, Danil Buranov is a bright representative of the talented youth who are replacing the masters of the stage.

Danil Buranov now

The singer from Zelenodolsk tried to get on the TV show “The Voice” three times. Buranov made his first two attempts at the age of 17 and 18, when there was no confidence in his strength. After his failed attempts, his mother supported her son, preventing the young vocalist from despairing and giving up the idea of ​​winning. Danil Buranov received negative, but not unnecessary experience: the guy learned to endure blows and quickly correct mistakes.

Participation in the 6th season of the TV show enriched the singer and gave him the chance to work under the guidance of recognized stars. At the stage of blind auditions, Danila Buranov performed a song called “Extraorbital”, wearing glasses for a “cosmic” image. They turned to the contestant and expressed admiration for the vocal technique. Buranov chose Bilan's team.

At the knockout stage, Bilan brought Danila together on stage, and “saved” from Agutin’s team. Buranov sang the single British star Mika called Grace Kelly. And he stayed on the project.

During the fights, Danil Buranov sparred with Dima Weber: the vocalists performed the hit duo Disclosure - Omen. A participant from Zelenodolsk reached the semi-finals of the show with the highest rating from his mentor, brilliantly performing Meladze’s hit “Limbo”.

In 2017, a new one appeared on YouTube author's composition vocalist " More love", which was warmly received by music lovers and fans of Buranov. The song “Actress,” which Danil sang in a duet with Meladze at the creative evening, also received praise.

The vocalist assures that he came to the TV show “The Voice” not for the main prize, but for the trust of the public, which is necessary for self-confidence and the implementation of creative plans. Danil Buranov does not see himself in Russian show business– the young vocalist dreams of breaking into the stages of Europe and America.

• 2016 – “People”

23-year-old Danil Buranov, Tatarstan’s main hope in the next season of the country’s main music television show, passed the “knockout” stage with flying colors and continues to fight for victory in the project. "BUSINESS Online" talked with the artist about his previous unsuccessful attempts to conquer “The Voice” and the main favorites of this year, Zelenodolsk as a forge of musical personnel, the almost scandalous expulsion from GITIS and the shortcomings of school education.

“There are a huge number of talented performers in the republic - thanks, I think, to Constellation. I myself participated there with early years, and in recent years I have been sitting on the jury at the zonal round Photo: yold.ru

“WHEN I DIDN’T PASS THE SECOND SEASON, I CALLED MY MOTHER IN HYSTERICAL AND ASKED: “MAYBE I SHOULD LEAVE THIS ENTIRE BUSINESS ALREADY?”

— Danil, on Friday’s broadcast of “The Voice” you created a real sensation by performing the song “Grace Kelly” by the British Mika; few people receive words from Alexander Gradsky about “perfect performance.” There is a feeling that with each new stage the degree of complexity of the numbers only increases.

— The degree of complexity of the numbers increases from time to time, and we set this bar for ourselves. Let's say choreography will be added to the next performance. I repeat, every time we complicate the task and every time we want the work we do to be several levels higher. Excitement? To be honest, I wasn’t very worried before the “Knockouts” stage. There was excitement at the very beginning of appearing in the project, but each time it became less and less. Although, I think this is only until the live broadcasts begin. Then all the experiences will return.

— You already tried to get into “The Voice” in 2013...

— I don’t remember exactly the year, but I tried twice. The first time, I simply didn’t get my turn, that is, I didn’t even go to the “blind auditions.” The second time - it was the third or fourth season - something also didn’t work out, I don’t even remember what.

“Very strongly, and I’m happy that I didn’t get in then, because I wasn’t mentally ready for this story yet.” Now I have more knowledge in my head, more necessary information, in the end, I started reading books, but then I didn’t read them, I was “green”. I'm glad that everything turned out the way it did, otherwise it would have been much harder for me. Although, when I didn’t make it into the second season of “The Voice,” I called my mom in hysterics and asked: “Maybe I should quit this whole thing?” She said, "No, don't give up." I didn't give up.

— To be honest, I watched in fits and starts on YouTube, mostly by the performers I liked. Who exactly? Without competition, of course, Dina Garipova, we have known her for a very long time, we sang together at all sorts of events in Zelenodolsk, etc. In the first season, I also liked Yulia Tereshchenko, my good friend, now she is a backing vocalist for Grigory Leps. And I watched foreign versions of “The Voice” - American, British...

— A natural question: why do performers from Tatarstan traditionally perform successfully in the Russian “Voice”?

— Yes, there are a huge number of talented performers in the republic - thanks, I think, to the Constellation festival. This is the largest music Festival, a competition in which many gifted children participate. I myself participated there from an early age, and in recent years I have sat on the jury at the zonal round. “Constellation” is such a real engine of progress, in my opinion.

— What is it like to be inside the main musical project of the country?

- In fact, all the magic happens exactly until the moment you get there. As soon as you find yourself inside the project, the work begins; there is no time for sensations, no time for magic. That is, all the intrigue until the first chair turns towards you, no matter who it is. But in general, of course, this is very cool, you understand what a huge audience is looking at you and appreciating you. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes neutral, which is the worst.

You have to spend many hours in the studio immediately before shooting. There are a few more rehearsals before. That is, just when everything is approaching shooting day, the most fierce movement begins. The television episode is filmed once a month, and everything else time is running discussion of the repertoire - who will sing what.

— What do you do when discussions and filming are not going on?

— I have a huge number of activities. Firstly, I have my own project - we release songs and videos. Secondly, speaking at corporate parties, events, etc. In general, a lot of work, filming, recording. And before the New Year, the itch begins to itch little by little.

“MOSTLY THE ATMOSPHERE ON THE SITE IS TENSE. EVERYONE SEEMES TO COMMUNICATE, SMILE, BUT THE COMPETITION IS FEELABLE"

— Let’s start with the fact that I didn’t go into the project for a dose of fame, under no circumstances. It would be stupid to dream of fame, because fame is a consequence of what you do, like money, like everything else material that everyone desperately needs. This is a cause-and-effect relationship - if you do something really cool and people like it, then you gain fame and, accordingly, money. And about the popularity of the seasons, you are absolutely right; the first ones had very cool ratings. The third, fourth, fifth - in my opinion, the ratings there were so-so, but the sixth season, when the golden cast of mentors returned to the project, led to the ratings jumping again.

— During the blind auditions, Dima Bilan and Leonid Agutin turned to you, you chose the first, although our newspaper reported back in 2013 that you would like to be on Agutin’s team . What has changed since then?

“Something changed, and at that moment when I had to decide who to go to. Since the first season, I really wanted to get to Agutin, because he is an amazing musician, professional, firm. When I needed to make a choice, I just... looked inside myself, or something, and realized that I had to go to Dima. In general, this is not explained by any arguments, I just felt that way.

- And what is he like, your mentor?

“He’s just a real human being.” First of all, he is an amazing musician and professional. If anyone noticed, during the fights we sang a Sam Smith song ( British singer-songwriter, winner of the Golden Globe and Oscar awards — approx. ed.) "Omen", which I have no doubt will go down in history, because it is very cool. And considering that we have the Phonograph orchestra there, it would be difficult for them to play such music. Dima got confused and brought his people. In the end, everything turned out great, and for that I am very grateful to Dima! And I am also grateful to him for the fact that he provides freedom in choosing a composition.

— So you choose the repertoire yourself?

- It always happens in different ways. Sometimes together, sometimes I offer to perform something: they say, what if you try this? We call each other, correspond, he absolutely an adequate person. Even super adequate, I would say. I can’t say for sure, but I’ve heard that it also happens when a participant is presented with a fait accompli in choosing a song. If this were the case in my case, I would probably be very upset, because there are compositions that suit me, and there are those that are not mine, but Dima feels all this, understands what’s what.

— In general, in your opinion, who are the main favorites of this season, if we take all the teams?

— As usual, as in all other seasons, Agutin has a very strong team. And I think Mikhail Grishunov is the favorite among them. He's very cool. If we talk about who I would like to face in a vocal battle, then it is, of course, him. This will be a strong battle ( laughs).

— Is there any communication between the participants or you different time rehearsals and only meet on set?

— Of course, we communicate, there are wild breaks after filming. But generally the atmosphere on the site is tense. Everyone seems to be communicating and smiling, but you can feel the competition. You see, the format itself of this show built on competition and rivalry. I approach this a little differently, I try to deliberately ignore this fact and stay a little apart, because I am not interested in competing, I am for peace.

"WHAT IS THIS SELF-CONFIDENT BASTARD?"

— Besides Dina Garipova, which of the participants in the previous seasons of “The Voice” do you know?

- Of course, I know Tina Kuznetsova and Anton Belyaev. I think that Anton is doing very well now. Just that season, the second, I didn’t make it, but we were at the casting. He tours not only around Russia, but also takes over Europe with his music. And he really has very high quality content, everything is cool. I say this because “The Voice” helped him fly high, although a huge number of participants remain in the shadows after the project.

- Indeed, there is an opinion that the main music project countries, oddly enough, can prevent an artist from making a successful solo career. And over all these years, only two singers have become truly in demand and successfully touring artists - Anton Belyaev and Nargiz Zakirova.

- Yes. You know, it’s like doors - they close quietly, slowly, when they close, they can’t be opened, that’s the thing. Therefore, the artist must have some kind of his own repertoire, video material, only in this case “The Voice” can somehow help in his career.

- What then to do for those who don’t have all this?

— It doesn’t have to be something known to the people in advance, it’s just a fact of presence, it’s better to have some kind of basis. The fact that the material is available is important. As for those who don’t have it, I can’t say that there’s absolutely no point in coming to Golos, but there’s much less of it...

— Okay, do you personally have material, a ready-made repertoire with which you could give a big solo concert right now?

- Certainly! I can sing to backing tracks, I can sing with a live band - whatever you want. We also play our own stuff, which we record and release ourselves. And it happens that people want to hear their favorite songs, but, as we know, original artists are very expensive, then we come and work for everyone ( laughs).

— Everything is clear with covers. But what kind of original music would you like to sing?

— I would like to perform pop mixed with funk or jazz, something real. Because, judging by the music that I sometimes hear on the radio, say, when I’m riding in a taxi, it seems that everything is done solely for the sake of making money. There's not much creativity there. I’m not generalizing now and I can single out Russian performers who are really cool and trying to grow in their creativity, but the vast majority are just trying to make money. There is no music for music's sake - that's what I mean.

In general, ideally, of course, I would like to educate people’s taste... Although, probably, if you say “educate,” again in the comments, like under my videos on YouTube, they will write: “What a smug bastard?” Therefore, I will say differently: with my music I would like to set some specific vector in high-quality music, in its performance, perhaps. That is, so that it is not primitive on four chords.

—Where is your work book?

— Employment history It doesn’t lie anywhere, and my mother always scolded me very much for this and worried me. She fears for all these government things, but I still don’t. In general, there is a lot of work, but it is always in different places, mostly corporate events, etc. I work at the production center of Grigory Leps. One day it happened that I won a vocal project organized by him - “Highest Test”, the winner received a contract to work in his studio.

— Grigory Leps was the mentor of the project for two seasons, was this not a reason not to go to “The Voice”?

- No, I just didn’t want to then. “Yes, and why?” - For some reason I thought so. And this year Grigory Viktorovich let me go to the project. Now our cooperation is suspended, since legally I cannot be associated with two organizations at the same time. It turned out that Sasha Panayotov asked why I wasn’t going to “The Voice”, a conversation ensued, Grigory Viktorovich said: if you want, go. So I went.

There is an opinion that I am a complete criminal, with connections, although in fact he did not take any part in this. We cooperate exclusively with Dima, there are no pitfalls here.

ABOUT TRIPS TO YOUR NATIVE ZELENODOLSK

— How long ago did you move to Moscow?

- About five years ago. It all started very hard, probably like everyone else. There was nowhere to live, no one to turn to. For the first month or two I lived in the restaurant where I worked, then a hostel, etc. When I was about 16, there was simply nothing to do in Zelenodolsk; by that time I already had experience solo concerts V hometown. Then I had to move somewhere: I thought about Kazan, but decided to go straight to Moscow.

— Do you often manage to come to your native Zelenodolsk?

- Very rarely. Behind Last year I came once and then for a day to speak at City Day.

— Do you now have any professional connection with Tatarstan? Do you participate in any official concerts on behalf of the republic, are you invited to them?

— It happens sometimes, but mostly it’s “Constellation”, since I come from it. You know, this project was something magical for us, because everything we did - danced, sang, learned to conduct concerts, learned to speak, put on a voice - all this, in fact, was for the sake of “Constellation” itself, because once a huge number of people come there every year, a competition begins in which everyone wants to win, everyone wants to be the best. This is a huge hardening. I am eternally grateful to this festival and every time I am invited to join the jury, of course, I agree, putting all my affairs aside.

— Did you take part in “Constellation” as a dancer or singer?

— I participated in three nominations: entertainer, choreography and vocals. That is, they hit on all fronts. I had three first places in the zonal tour in Zelenodolsk in all three nominations, and in the end it all ended with me taking second place in vocals, first place in entertaining, Grand Prix in choreography... Not bad, considering that this It was actually the first year that I started singing.

— “BUSINESSOnline” you said that you started singing after the age of 14.

— Yes, I danced for 10–12 years, and started singing when I was 15–16 years old, so I didn’t even feel my voice breaking. She went unnoticed by me. So it was my mother’s anniversary, she gathered her guests in a cafe and asked me to sing. I went, quickly found the backing track and sang. She said, "Not bad." Before that, we studied vocals with her, but it all ended in tears, I left in tears and said that I didn’t want to anymore. Here, after all, there is a connection between mother and son, not only between teacher and student, and this breaks a person quite badly. So she said that I sang well, and suggested that, just for fun, I should try myself in “Constellation”. Well, we had so much fun that we ended up in the zonal round of the festival.

— Is it generally difficult to work with your mother? She is an opera singer, graduated from the conservatory...

“I’ll say this: it was always difficult with my mother, because she has a very tempered character, she raised me alone, I didn’t have a father.” Therefore, she is quite a fighting woman, and the relationship was, to put it mildly, tense between us. But all this lasted until the moment when I moved to Moscow. Love at a distance still makes the difference. And now we just have an excellent relationship, she came to my place for “blind auditions.”

— Does he come often?

- That was the only time. By the way, it was very nice when she said that I had Good friends, since she usually didn’t like them ( laughs).

“I NEARLY FLEW OUT OF GITIS BECAUSE I REFUSED TO SHOW THE MONKEY”

— What is the phenomenon of Zelenodolsk, which gave “The Voice” two heroes at once - you and Dina Garipov?

— I don’t know where they come from, but I can say for sure that in our city there are a huge number talented people. At the same time, everyone tries to be better than the other, and this is the engine of progress. I can say this based on my experience, and I have been on stage since childhood, from the age of three, my mother is an actress, a singer, and whatever you want. At the age of six I played Vitya in the play " New Year's adventures Masha and Vitya."

— Is the stage a conscious choice or is there simply no other way when you grow up in a creative family?

— It’s a twofold story. On the one hand, I had no choice, on the other hand, when I was brought there, I immediately liked everything, I quickly fit in, despite the fact that I was very small. Everything started working out for me literally instantly. Well, when my mother asked me what I wanted to do, I answered that it was creativity. The only thing I said is that I don’t want to be some kind of dramatic actor, because from childhood I realized that this was not for me.

— Nevertheless, you graduated from GITIS, the course of Yuri Vasiliev, an actor and director of the theater of satire.

“I always thought that I wasn’t much of an actor.” Since everything is learned by comparison, I realized that I sing better than I play, I dance better than I play. Although GITIS, especially the variety department, is a kind of triathlon: there a person must play, dance, and sing well, he must be universal. I've always had a little problem with acting.

I remember I almost flew out of GITIS because I refused to show the monkey. That is, I am standing on the stage, in front of me is the dean, the master of the course, Yuri Borisovich, a course of 30 people is sitting, they tell me to show the monkey, but I refuse, I don’t understand why I have to show it. I almost got kicked out because of this. There was a terrible scandal... I really could have been expelled, because I got there thanks to Constellation. In fact, Mikhail Borisov came to Kazan for one of the tours, leading “ Russian lotto“, said: “You will enter GITIS.” And I was still in school then. That’s why I finished school as an external student and went there when I was 16 years old.

— What kind of music do you listen to, what are you interested in?

- Well, I’m a complete music lover, I listen completely different music, genres ranging from deep house to pop music. Rock never understood. Although I recently started going to the gym and work out there just in time for rock music. But in terms of musicality, I'm more into melodic music - Stevie Wonder, Sam Smith, group Maroon 5, Lesha Chumakov. From latest singers that amazed me is Ukrainian singer Monatic. In general, a huge number of performers. I have two thousand songs on my phone, I’ve been collecting this library for five years now. I don't have a favorite song because there are so many of them and they are all favorites. Music is even better than relationships with people, because it will not betray you.

What am I interested in free time? I don’t really have one, not since childhood. I started going to the gym, although this is such a self-imposed story: since it so happens that we sometimes go on air, we need to keep ourselves in shape.

— Don’t be afraid to run out of steam quickly, by the age of 30, considering that you started so early creative career?

- No, I’m not afraid, because I know where to get energy and how it should be done, where to be inspired and with what. I do this with the help of information and literature. I understand that you can’t work your ass off all the time; you need to maintain a balance between rest and work. These are things that for some reason are not taught in school, but should be. For example, such things as how the brain is structured, how it works, how a person reasons, that a person has such an opportunity as control - control of thoughts, emotions. This is my way of life.
