Charming romantic and frontman of the group "Disco Crash" has practically ceased to appear on the screens, and only the most devoted fans know about his work. Today you will learn the success story of a popular band, and why Nikolai Timofeev is now trying to build a solo career.
Start
Music entered the life of Nikolai Timofeev at an early age. Together with his parents, he attended the concert of Alla Pugacheva, and the sight he saw made an indelible impression on the four-year-old boy. Father and mother were far from creativity, but even then the son made his choice - his life will certainly be connected with this art. City dance ensemble, circles, music school - since childhood, he plunged into music, leaving time for study and sports. Diversified and addicted, he simply had to become a star.
As a teenager, he went to a pioneer camp for the summer, where he made a significant acquaintance with Alexei Ryzhov. A fussy and emotional boyHe was also fond of music, and the guys quickly became friends. At one point, they become the stars of the camp and hold discos. Nikolai Timofeev and his new friend decide not to lose touch with the end of the holidays. Since that summer, they no longer parted, and even entered the Energy University together. There they organized the first group called "Fire Extinguisher". In 1988, the guys became interested, and soon they were already running their own show on the radio. Along the way, they led discos in Ivanovo, where they played their covers and remixes of famous songs. Club "Avaria" became their main place of work and gave them a sonorous name for a musical group.
Success
In 1992, Oleg Zhukov joined his friends. The charming actor became the link that brought fame to the guys. It was impossible not to notice such a cheerful and big guy. The group becomes popular in Ivanovo and neighboring regions. They release their first album (there is practically no singing of Nikolai Timofeev), and Alexey Serov joins the band. With this composition, they go to Moscow and offer their songs to various record companies. In 1999, the first national hit appeared - "New Year's". In the wake of the first popularity, the guys record the album "Maniacs" and become the best dance group. Prizes and awards are pouring in from all sides, but already in 2002 the group ceases its activities for a while - Oleg Zhukov dies after an illness.
Threesome
In memory of a friend, the guys do not take the fourthparticipant. Their popularity reaches its peak in 2004. Each song becomes a hit, but the guys are not going to stop. For several years in a row they were recognized as the “Best Dance Group”, they were awarded prizes for the “Best Song of the Year”, and in 2007, the prize for “Best Duet of the Year”. The composition "Malinka", recorded with Zhanna Friske, stayed at the top of all charts for a long time.
Decomposition
By 2012, the guys were exhausted. Not so many songs were released, and conflicts began in the group. Nikolai Timofeev leaves the group, and endless courts and lawsuits begin. The frontman himself has repeatedly stated that he did not leave of his own free will - he was forced to. The court decided to leave Ryzhov and Serov the right to use the name of the group and the entire repertoire. Although Nikolai wrote songs, they did not fit and did not get into the repertoire. 22 years of fruitful creativity are over. Timofeev went to build a solo career, and the guys took a new soloist to the group. But it was not so easy to start everything from scratch alone, and now Nikolai is almost unheard of, and Disco Crash continues to produce good songs and shoot videos.
Nikolai Timofeev's personal life
Even at the age of 18, he fell in love and did not put off the marriage proposal indefinitely. Youth and emotions were not the best allies of the young couple, and the marriage broke up a year later. Nikolai was not left alone - his wife managed to give him a daughter, Lisa. The girl lived with him from birth. A few years later, he remarried - to Zinaida Kandaurina. This marriageturned out to be more durable and fruitful - Nikolai became the father of two more girls. In 2009, the couple divorced. At the moment he lives with his backing vocalist. The couple has decided not to formalize the relationship yet.
