As a child, Basque was not yet so liberated in public. As the singer recalls, his debut on stage was extremely unsuccessful. When the boy was in 2nd grade, he was asked to perform a poem at the matinee. But the future artist got scared of a large audience, burst into tears and ran away.

From the 2nd to the 7th grade, Nikolai Baskov studied in Novosibirsk. During that period, his career on stage started. Kolya performed at the Young Actor's Musical Theater. The boy toured with the troupe in Switzerland, the United States, Israel and France.

At that time, the understanding came to Nicholas that his future life would be associated with creativity. In 1996, Baskov was enrolled in the Gnessin Academy of Music.
