It's hard to believe, but today, August 26, Zemfira Ramazanova will be 40 years old. The presentation of her first album took place in 1999. During this time she has become musical legend, and her life was overgrown with all kinds of speculation. StarHit chose five myths and tested them.

Myth 1. The Uchpochmack fell apart, and the singer's nephews went abroad (True)

After the death of her parents and brothers, Zemfira has no one closer than her nephews, 26-year-old Arthur and Artem Ramazanov. Three years ago, she sang with them in group The Uchpochmack. “Their album First and Last was the only one,” Dmitry Emelyanov, the band’s guitarist, told StarHit. - We performed together, but the group did not last long. IN last time I saw the guys in 2014."

Having traveled for a year on tour with an aunt, the nephews returned to their native Ufa. “Artem and Arthur are still making music, they write songs in their studio, but few people are allowed to listen to them,” Evgenia Ostapenko shared with StarHit, cousin Ramazanov. - They sing for friends or for relatives at home gatherings. They don’t think about getting married yet, although there are many fans. Yes, and the thoughts of the guys now are about something else. At the end of August they fly to London, they will study at the faculty pop vocal. A few years ago they were already in England, just mastering the directing business. Then Zemfira helped them.”

In the meantime, the guys are in Ufa, Artem helps his mother Natalya Vladimirovna. She is a businesswoman and is the founder of Forward CJSC, which supplies products to the supermarket chain.

MYTH 2. ZEMFIRA'S FIRST LOVE IS A MUSICIAN FROM UFA (THE IMAGINATION)

More than once they wrote that the first love of the star was Vladislav Kolchin, they performed in the Ufa restaurant "Jespar" in the mid-90s. In his autobiographical book "Music as a Chance to Beat Multiple Sclerosis" - its presentation will take place on September 14 - Vlad spoke about the fight against the disease and devoted an entire chapter to the singer. In it, he revealed the truth about their relationship - future star was just a front for Kolchin. An old friend writes the following: "... The owner of the institution showed interest in me ... Zemfira, just in case, fearing for my safety, played the role of my girlfriend as best she could."

MYTH 3. RAISED A HAND TO A MAN (TRUE)

“Zemfira was at the center of a scandal...” - such headlines can often be found in the press. Even friends know that it is better not to fall under the hot hand of the singer.

“A slap can be slapped on anyone,” recalls musician Vlad Kolchin. - Bandits often gathered at the Jespar restaurant. One day they got tipsy and started ordering songs. One Zemfira flatly refused to perform. Then one skinhead came up, bent over her and began to whisper something. Zemfira, as usual at such moments, fell silent and listened attentively. When the speech ended, she coolly slapped him in the face and rushed to the back room. In the hall began disassembly, noise, screams. We were protected by the restaurant guards, and in order to hush up the conflict, I had to call the gangsters I knew.

Why the singer behaves this way, her first producer Leonid Burlakov explained: “Insolence and rudeness are the usual defense against people. In fact, Zemfira is a sincere and attentive person. A year and a half ago, she called me to see how things were going. She said that she was in Ufa with her mother. I handed the phone to Florida Khakievna. She thanked me for helping my daughter in her musical career. And I said thank you for Zemfira. She also adores children and next to them she herself turns into a child. Once my daughter Masha and I stopped by to visit her. She not only welcomed us cordially, but also fried delicious cheesecakes.”

MYTH 4. THE SINGER HAS A SERIOUS DISEASE (THIS IS A FAKE)

“To work like Zemfira, you need a lot of strength,” says producer Leonid Burlakov. - No doping will help, but will only interfere. Zemfira understands this. She has been performing live for almost 20 years."

But the star does have health problems.

“She has a chronic disease, she constantly complained of pain in her left ear,” recalls journalist and producer Alexander Kushnir. - I remember that when she first moved to Moscow, she had no money and no registration. I helped her with the doctors. Among my friends there were specialists of the highest qualification.

A few years ago, an old disease - chronic otitis media - worsened, and the singer even ended up in the hospital.

MYTH 5. LIVES IN AN EMPTY APARTMENT (TRUE)

“If you ever visit her, you will see that the singer uses only three items,” says Leonid Burlakov. - This is a sofa - she sits on it, a table - for work, a piano - for writing music. Zemfira is not a fan of things, and by and large she does not care what she is wearing. And yes, taste is a problem. Outwardly, she was transformed under Nastya Kalmanovich and Renata Litvinova, who had a hand in her style. She cares more about other things. I remember with what enthusiasm Zemfira was looking for an amplifier for bass. I ordered it from London, and when I received it, I was happy as a child.”

By the way, on the cover of the first album of the singer "Zemfira" there is also nothing superfluous - only floral wallpaper from her first rented apartment. “She then lived in Peredelkino,” recalls journalist and producer Alexander Kushnir. - That's where the picture was taken. And when it became clear that the album exploded, they made a witty gift for the insiders - they released a limited edition of CDs, only 999 pieces. A beautiful brown chair was added to the cover, as a sign that there used to be only wallpaper, and now there is money for furniture. Now this record costs unthinkable money, and I have it.

Ufa, August 2000, 23 years old

In the spring of 2000, the second album "Forgive me, my love" was released. Zemfira quickly showed her character, abandoning the producers and taking control of the music and design of the record in her own hands.

The tour in support of “Forgive Me My Love” came out so hard that the singer was on the verge of nervous breakdown. “I just needed to rest. Otherwise, something bad would have happened to me ... Maybe it's wrong that I admit it, but for the last three or four concerts I played with hatred. I hated the songs, the speakers, the audience, myself. I counted the number of songs left until the end of the concert. When it all ended, I didn’t leave the house for two or three months, but just stupidly sat on the Internet, ”said Zemfira.

At the festival in Batumi, August 2002

But when the album was almost ready, Zemfira abruptly changed course and remade most of the tracks. Released in the spring of 2005, "Vendetta" turned out to be predominantly hard-rock. They say that the singer was influenced by the album released the day before " Civil Defense"Long happy life."

Active life position and the subtle lyrics of the songs appealed to many of the woman's fans, especially the female audience, but all this was achieved thanks to work, talent, as well as the girl's constant tours and travels.

Creative people are prone to numerous tours and relocations during their lives. Popularity is very difficult to get, and that is why you have to move from place to place.

Work, studio, music, trips to a large number of cities where fans are waiting, determine the choice of a habitat where the performer wants to live, as well as so that his personal life remains inaccessible to journalists.

Zemfira moved very often. The future singer spent her childhood and early years in Ufa, the central territorial unit of Bashkortostan. Here she lived with her parents on the street. Ushakova, 64.

In a small, old panel house on the edge of the city, the family of the future artist huddles.

Here she lived with her parents and brother until her departure to Moscow in 1998.

The habitat itself was considered not particularly favorable, because the standard of living and conditions were very poor.

Moving to Moscow in 1998

With the move to Moscow, new horizons opened up for her in creative plan. Here the girl created and strengthened her team, which eventually began to be called Zemfira, met and became friends with Ilya Lagutenko, the leader and frontman of the Mumiy Troll group.

It was thanks to Ilya, as well as the producer of the group at that time, Leonid Burlakov, that the singer managed to record the first album and break into the radio, as well as on the creative stage of the city.

The singer leads an active creative activity, enters the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University, where she studied only two courses. But it is worth noting in order all the places of the artist's stay at the initial stage:

• In the first two weeks upon arrival, Ramazanova lives in the apartments of friends, constantly moving from place to place;
• After meeting Lagutenko, he moves to a country house where the entire Mumiy Troll musical team lives and rehearses, and Ilya lives with his family;
• Then there were rented apartments in the Solntsevo district, where Ramazanova lived with her old friend in her youth, Arkady Mukhtarov;
• Six months later, the aspiring star rented an apartment on Berezhkovskaya embankment. At this place, living conditions were more comfortable, because the presence of a housekeeper and European-quality repair could allow the girl to relax and immerse herself in the creative process;
• Then the artist moved to an apartment with her producer Anastasia Kalmanovich, where they lived on Smolenskaya Street;
• They were followed by addresses on Mira Avenue, and after a while - on Makeev Street;
• The final point in the wanderings of the musician was a 2-room dwelling on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, because after that she lived outside the city, while her new apartment was being built on Frunzenskaya. Outside the city, she rested from intrusive interviews with correspondents and journalists.

New life in a new apartment

Zemfira's new property is located on Frunzenskaya Embankment. The artist received this housing as a result after 4 years of wandering around rented apartments in Moscow.

Zemfira is the “breakthrough voice of the generation,” as the magazine Ogonyok called the singer, a Russian rock singer, lyricist, composer and music producer. Zemfira set the direction in Russian rock, which journalists defined as "female rock".

Zemfira Ramazanova once opened in domestic rock music new page. The press calls her style "female rock", and the popularity of the singer, who has rapidly soared to the tops of all radio stations, has not only not declined in eighteen years, but continues to steadily win more and more new fans.

Zemfira was born in Ufa in an intelligent Tatar-Bashkir family. Her father, Talgat Talkhovich, taught history, and her mother, Florida Khakievna, worked as a specialist in physical therapy. The girl had an older brother named Ramil, with whom the singer had a close and trusting relationship.

Zemfira's talent for music was revealed very early, from the age of five the future singer studied at a specialized music school, where she studied piano and was a soloist in the student choir. Then she appeared on local television with a children's song.

The girl was seven years old when she wrote her first song, performing it at her mother's work. IN school years Zemfira was fond of the work of the Kino group: according to the singer herself, the songs and Thom Yorke largely influenced her development as a musician.

At school, Zemfira was seriously involved in basketball. Despite the fact that the girl was the lowest in the team, she became the captain of the Russian junior team. Thus, in the last classes, she faced a dilemma: sports or music. Zemfira chose the latter and entered the Ufa School of Arts in the department of pop-jazz vocals.

In parallel with her studies at the university, the girl began to earn extra money, performing popular songs in Ufa restaurants. However, she quickly got bored with such activities, and in 1996 Zemfira got a job on the radio: she recorded commercials for the Bashkir branch of the Europa Plus radio station. Then she records her first demos.

Music

Zemfira's biography changed dramatically in 1997, when at the annual rock festival "Maksidrom" a cassette with her songs fell into the hands of Leonid Burlakov, then producer of the Mumiy Troll group, through acquaintances of journalists. Leonid decides to give the talented performer a chance, and at the end of 1998 Zemfira recorded her first album, Zemfira, at the Mosfilm studio.

The mixing of the first album was done in the British capital under the guidance of the frontman and leader of Mumiy Troll. The guitarist and drummer of the band also took part in the recording. The disc was released in May 1999, while individual songs - "AIDS", "Rockets" and "Arivederchi" - entered the rotation of radio stations in February. So the public was prepared for the birth new star. The composition "Arivederchi" has received deafening popularity, but due to the complex name, fans often call this track "Ships" by the first word of the chorus.

The presentation of the album took place on May 8 at the club "16 tons". The stage was designed in spring style, and the singer wove flowers into her hair. On a flower from Zemfira's hairstyle, she wondered, singing the song "Daisies".

The next step was Zemfira's album "Fourteen Weeks of Silence", which was released in 2002. During this time, the girl rethought a lot in her work, and the album turned out to be solid, but unlike her previous works.
