Mariya Nefedova

Russian violinist, rock musician, who became famous for her work in the cult group "King and Jester". Maria Nefedova was called a punk girl. It is difficult to imagine a collective beloved by millions of music lovers without a fragile beauty. She was part of the "golden composition" of the punk band at the height of its popularity. After Masha left, "The King and the Jester" did not last long - the male team lost the only tender string, the female note, which brought charm and harmony to the performances.

Maria Vladimirovna Nefedova was born in the city on the Neva on the first day of September 1979. There is no information about her family and parents. Nothing is known about the violinist's childhood years, except that the girl showed an ear for music and was taken to school, where Masha chose the violin class.

Having received a certificate of maturity, Maria without delay undertook to write a creative biography: at the age of 18 she joined the collective of the "Tanks" group.

Maria Nefyodova's cooperation with the St. Petersburg group "Tanks" lasted almost 2 years. At the same time, the girl showed herself in a short-lived project called "Music T", where her talent played with new facets.

In her search for herself, Nefedova joined the St. Petersburg folk-rock band Tower Rowan, created in the mid-1990s. She worked with the violinist's team in 1998-1999, having recorded the disc of musical ballads "March of the Freaks". During these years, Masha appeared on stage with the Pilot rock group, headed by musician, vocalist and writer Ilya Chert.

In 2001, "Pilot" presented fans with the second original studio album, named, like the Devil's work, "The Tale of the Jumper and the Slider." It is noteworthy that Maria performed not as a violinist, but as a reciter. Together with Yuri Shevchuk, the girl read excerpts from a fairy tale at the beginning of each composition.

Masha Nefyodova's finest hour came in 1998, when she joined the punk-rock band The King and the Jester. The team led by frontman Mikhail Gorshenev was formed ten years earlier, in 1988. Maria played the violin, performing with the Gorshka group from 1998 to 2004. The mega-popular "The King and the Jester" toured with concerts in large cities of the Soviet Union and neighboring countries, collecting sold out houses, filming clips for hits.

The group recorded 7 albums with the participation of the Petersburg violinist. In some compositions Nefyodova ("The women are spinning", "Kuzma and Barin") acted as a backing vocalist. A fragile girl who diluted the male team quickly became a star.

Journalists willingly interviewed the musicians of The King and the Jester, not forgetting about Maria Nefedova. The violinist admitted that her character is "not sugar". Disadvantages - laziness, the use of profanity, harmfulness - Masha called "family." But at the same time, she studied hard and successfully.

In addition to Gorshka and Nefedova, the prominent members of the cult group were Prince (Andrey Knyazev), Balu (Alexander Balunov), Yasha (Yakov Tsvirkunov) and Porutchik (Alexander Shchigolev). Pot and Prince were responsible for vocals.

The personal life of the only woman of a collective popular throughout the Union was not easy. In a frank interview with Balunov (Balu), it is said that Masha, soon after joining the group, had an affair with director Alexander Gordeev. They lived in a civil marriage for several years, but the couple's relationship cannot be called cloudless. Gordeev raised his hand against Masha, reconciliation alternated with stormy showdowns.

Soon after the break of communication with Gordeev, Maria left the group. But in an interview, she called the reason for leaving was not at all spoiled relations with her common-law husband:

Earlier, the violinist admitted that the guys in the team are good, it is fun and comfortable with them, but “not all of the music is liked”. It seems that the first euphoria faded away, Maria had other interests besides musical ones. She wanted to continue her studies, get a profession not related to music. Nefedova went to the United States, where she graduated from the College of Management in San Francisco.

In 2013, the fans of The King and the Jester learned about the death of the leader of the group, Mikhail Gorshenev. Nefedova came from America to Russia to participate in a farewell concert.
