Due to his father's touring and changing places of work, the family often moved, and Nikita practically grew up behind the scenes. At the age of 3, his father gave the boy a small guitar. Nikita went on stage with her during a solo concert "Eoliki", which was held in Dzintari. At the age of 7, he made his television debut when, together with Tarasov Sr., he starred in one of the issues of the popular Sunday program "Morning Mail".

From childhood, the boy learned to play musical instruments, played the piano perfectly, and at the age of 12 he mastered the synthesizer, began to write and arrange music himself. A few years later, he already led discos in nightclubs and worked as a DJ at a radio station. In general, until high school, Nikita saw himself only as a musician, the successor of his father's work.

But at the age of 17, the guy in the school play got the role of Sergei Yesenin, and Tarasov liked to transform into other people so much that after receiving the certificate, he submitted documents to the Moscow Art Theater School, where he managed to enter the first time. Moreover, the legendary actor and director Oleg Tabakov became his mentor. Parents supported the choice of their son.

While still a student, the aspiring actor made his debut on the theatrical stage in the play "Amadeus". After graduation, Tarasov worked for one season at the Russian Academic Youth Theater, and then became a member of the troupe of the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater, where he played in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The actor considers the role of Epstein in the student production of "Biloxi Blues" as his best theatrical work.

In 2008, Tarasov created his own ensemble of 7 musicians and 2 backing vocalists. The guys give concerts in various Moscow clubs and at corporate parties, and they perform only their own songs, which are written by Nikita. The musicians describe their style as a combination of jazz, funk and rap.

In addition, Tarasov's beautiful and well-delivered voice can be heard for many years in various commercials. He voiced advertisements for Mars and Picnic bars, Sprite and Fanta sparkling water, Klinskoye beer, and the mobile operator MTS.

The creative biography of the actor began in 2001: Tarasov appeared in the detective drama Lady Boss. In the future, he constantly changed his role. Nikita appeared before the audience in a wide variety of images: from a charming intellectual to a merciless villain, from a touching doctor to a maniac killer, from a vampire to a transvestite. As Tarasov himself notes, working on a cinematic image, he avoids participating in stunt scenes.

The actor earned all-Russian popularity in 2012, after participating in the comedy sitcom Kitchen, where he plays the French pastry chef Louis, who works in the Moscow restaurants Claude Monet and Victor. The image of the spoiled and outrageous master of cakes and pastries was a great success for Nikita Tarasov, and, in addition, revealed the actor's comedic potential.

To add realism to his character, he went to Provence before filming, where he specially tasted French desserts and even went to the kitchens of restaurants and pastry shops in order to see the work of real chefs. Nikita's partners in the film are Dmitry Nazarov, Mark Bogatyrev, Elena Podkaminskaya, Dmitry Nagiyev, Sergei Lavygin, Mikhail Tarabukin, Sergei Epishev and others.

In between filming in the series, Nikita starred in a number of other projects. Among them are the melodrama "Find a husband in the big city", the detective "Caesar", the multi-part film "Believe me". The artist presented the main character in the psychological drama "Ostrog Reserve". His partner in the film was Maria Fedosova.

In 2015, Tarasov starred in the Ukrainian-Russian military biographical drama Battle for Sevastopol, which tells the story of the Soviet sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Nikita played the military doctor Boris Chopak and, together with the film crew, visited the most heroic places in Sevastopol, Odessa, Kiev, Kamenets-Podolsky. The film received high marks from the jury of the festivals in Cannes, Berlin, Toronto and Odessa.

Russian film critics call this work the best film about the Great Patriotic War in the last quarter of a century, and Tarasov's play is sincere, convincing and ideally consistent with the principles of an intellectual of the middle of the 20th century.

In 2017, Tarasov returned to the role of a pastry chef from France in the 2nd season of the Eleon Hotel series, a spin-off and sequel to the culinary sitcom Kitchen. Also in the role of Louis Benoit Tarasov starred in the full-length finale of the series "Kitchen" - the film "Kitchen. Last fight". A little earlier, the premiere of the Russian science fiction film "Attraction" took place, in which Tarasov played a secondary role of the deputy Mikhail Poleskin.

On June 13, at the Kinotavr festival, another film with the participation of Nikita Tarasov premiered - the comedy Rock. In 2018, the humorous series "Light from the Other World" was shown about a disabled girl who is forced to pretend to be a clairvoyant in order to earn money for treatment. In the film, Tarasov was reincarnated as a minor character - a coach.

In the same year, with the participation of Nikita, the rating comedy "House Arrest" appeared on the screens, in which the actor embodied the image of a PR man helping the former mayor win the elections. The senior flight attendant Tarasov played in 2 seasons of the comedy "Awesome Crew", which was broadcast on the STS TV channel. The film also starred Alexey Chadov, Natalia Bardo, Daria Sagalova, Yulia Topolnitskaya.

Nikita Tarasov played minor roles in the post-apocalyptic comedy Not They, about how the salvation of the world turned out to be dependent on a group of young party-goers. In the same year, the actor appeared in the fantastic mini-series "Draft", an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Russian writer Sergei Lukyanenko.

The actor's type allows Tarasov to play emphatically harmless, sophisticated and intelligent characters, so fans are surprised that Nikita, who seemed miniature on the screen, suddenly turns out to be much taller (he is 192 cm tall and weighs 85-89 kg, according to the media). It is interesting that Nikita Tarasov knows the name of his double. It turned out to be Giovanni Giacometti, an artist who lived in Switzerland at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Nikita Tarasov repeatedly mentioned in an interview that for a long time he could not meet a loved one. The girls who were attractive to the actor himself remained indifferent to his courtship, and those who liked Nikita did not attract his attention. Once the artist even tried to build personal happiness by meeting a girl via the Internet, but nothing came of it.

Because of the role in "Kitchen" in the personal life of Nikita Tarasov, a drama happened. The actor met a girl Olga, whom he was ready to call his future wife. The age difference between the lovers was 16 years, but this did not stop Nikita or Olga. Problems arose when the actor wanted to meet the parents of the chosen one.

Olga's relatives said that Tarasov was playing the wrong roles and that since a man appears on screens in the guise of a gay Frenchman, he himself shares an unconventional orientation. After that, Olga was forbidden to communicate with Nikita - this was the end of the novel. Later, the artist was credited with a relationship with his colleague Sophia Sinitsyna, who is 15 years younger than him. The artist himself did not comment on this information.

Nikita met his fate by chance. Tarasov planned to do a personal photo session, for which he met with the photographer Marina Gavryushina. The girl turned out to be a creative person, in addition to photography, she is fond of painting and creates paintings to order. A business acquaintance grew into a romance. Already in 2017, the actor hinted to reporters that his heart was not free and, quite possibly, a change in marital status awaited him.

The first appearance of the lovers took place at one of the social events of the International Moscow Film Festival. And already in August, the couple got married. The ceremony was attended only by the closest newlyweds, including Nikita's father Boris Tarasov. A photo of the lovers appeared on the artist's Instagram account.

Events in the personal life of the talented performer developed rapidly - in December Tarasov became a father. The wife gave him a daughter, who was named Taisia. It is interesting that the birth of the girl coincided with the filming of the birth scene of Tarasov's partner in the comedy "Awesome Crew" by Yana Krainova. From the working site, the actor went straight to the hospital to his wife.

The actor appeared in the role of Aliyev's assistant in the biographical film "I'm going to save people." In the dystopia "Ikaria" about life in 2027, when the promise of mass immortality turns into a deadly TV game, Tarasov reincarnated as the chief neurosurgeon.

In addition, he appeared as a bank manager in the short film "Scenario". In 2019, he participated in the premieres of the Russian-Chinese adventure film "The Mystery of the Seal of the Dragon" and the adventure fantasy "Abigail", in which Nikita played the role of Ethan.
