Sergey Babkin

Sergei Babkin, a former soloist of the famous reggae group "5'nizza", has lived in Ukraine all his life. He was born in Kharkov on November 7, 1978 in the family of a military man and a kindergarten teacher. Sergey has an older brother who followed in his father's footsteps and has now received the rank of major. Little Seryozha, even before he went to school, began to study choreography, playing the flute and drawing.

At the Lyceum of Arts, the boy often attended acting classes, participated in school productions and performances of the KVN team. The boy grew up as an independent child. At the age of 12, he was already making his first money washing cars. But, despite his busyness, Sergei, inspired by the creativity of the groups "Bravo", "Chizh & So", mastered playing the guitar.

After graduating from the ninth grade, the young man had the opportunity to enter the music school, the wind instruments department, or the military school, the conducting faculty, but he chose to study at the theater lyceum. Later, he finally made the decision to become an actor and entered the Kharkov Theater Institute. I. Kotlyarevsky to the acting department.

Together with his classmate Andrey Zaporozhets, whom Sergey knew from the 10th grade, he began his musical experiments. At theatrical skits and just student parties, young musicians played compositions that they composed in their free time. Sergei played the role of a man of the orchestra, and Andrey performed the solo.

Sergey was one of the best students in his stream. In his second year, he successfully performed at the reading competition, where he received a prize for first place. The young artist worked in productions of eminent directors, got the first roles in the theater of Russian drama. A.S. Pushkin. During these years, Sergei made his debut in cinema.

The place of work for the student Sergei Babkin for several years was the Maska nightclub, in the entertainment program of which the student had his own mimic number. The talented artist presented his graduation work with a role in the provocative play "I glorify Julia!" "Theater 19", where after graduation he went to work.

The musical duet of Babkin and Zaporozhets was formed in the second half of the 90s, but the name of the ensemble and the first conceptual project appeared only in 2000. The musicians, walking with their friends around the city, took several joint photos, and then came up with the name of the group "Red Friday". The adjective was later removed. The final version of the well-known logo of the 5'nizza group appeared on the initiative of Andrey Zaporozhets.

The first disc of friends was also created spontaneously: in less than 2 hours the musicians recorded more than 15 songs at the recording studio "M.ART", which the sound engineer mixed just as quickly. The cover design was printed on yellow paper and cut for the first CDs by the musicians themselves. Pirated copies played an important role in the distribution of the album, which influenced the filling of the halls at the first solo concerts of the musical group.

Two years later, the name "Friday" thundered at the summer festival "KaZantip". The duo even had the opportunity to perform at the event's gala concert, which greatly increased their popularity. The circulation of the musicians' first albums began to disperse throughout all corners of Russia. Musician Eduard Shumeiko, founder of the musical group "WK?", Did a lot to promote the reggae group. He also organized the first tour of Babkin and Zaporozhets in Moscow, which took place in November 2002.

The musicians began to be invited on tour abroad, the ratings of their musical compositions grew rapidly. Hits such as the songs "Neva", "Vesna", "Soldier" took first places in the rotation of the leading radio stations in Russia and Ukraine. Their photos began to be published in almost every glossy magazine. The fans saw the second disc of the group in 2005, it was called "O5".

This continued until 2007, when, in the process of recording their next album, the musicians disagreed on the issues regarding the composition of the group. Andrey Zaporozhets wanted to bring in something new, to expand the team, while Sergey insisted on keeping the duet. In mid-June of the same year, Babkin and Zaporozhets performed for the last time at their joint concert in the capital of Poland.

In 2015, the dream of many fans of the Pyatnitsa group came true - the fans again saw their idols in a joint project. In the new small album "I Believe in You" old colleagues flashed the musical novelties "Ale", "Vperyod", which became the main hits of the disc.

In parallel with the project "5'nizza" Sergei began recording solo discs. The singer's arsenal has accumulated material that is different in character from the style of "Friday". At the age of 30, he created his first collection, Hurray! The fans especially remembered the single of this disc “Take me to your place”. The tall artist (Sergei's height is 185 cm) immediately began to stand out for his special manner of performance: at every concert he appeared barefoot. This singer's feature impressed his fans.

A year later, Sergei recorded the albums "Bis!" and "Son", created in honor of the birth of the first child. The musician's team was gradually formed: clarinetist Sergei Savenko, pianist Efim Chupakhin, bass guitarist Igor Fadeev, drummer Konstantin Shepelenko. The original line-up of Sergei Babkin's instrumentalists expanded in 2008 due to the use of accordion and acoustic guitar sounds in musical compositions. The collection “Amen.ru” was created with this improved composition.

Sergei, as a creative person, in 2008 founded another community of musicians called "KPSS" or "KPSS", which meant the first letters of the quartet members. Together with Konstantin Shepelenko, Petr Tseluiko, Stanislav Kononov, Sergei Babkin worked for 4 years, bringing to life the ideas of the past and the present. In his performances, Sergei actively used his acting skills, turning each concert into a show. To record songs for the collection "Outside and Inside", artists of the symphony orchestra were involved.

The year 2013 is marked in the artist's creative biography with the appearance of the cheerful disc "Sergeevna", which the soloist dedicated to his little daughter. At the same time, at the invitation of the leader of the Okean Elzy group Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, Sergei took part in the recording of the album and concerts of the super-group Brussels.

In 2015, a new solo program by Sergei Babkin “# Don't kill” appears. The musician takes an active part in concert activities, traveling to the regional centers of Ukraine with apartment owners.

Since 2013, Sergei and his second wife Snezhana, who also works as an actress, have taken part in a number of projects of the modern collective "Beautiful Flowers", such as "Fat" and "Dracula".

The theater troupe visited with their performances not only at home, but also in Europe and the CIS countries.

The artist's first film experiences were two films - "Russian" and "Radio Day". In 2009 Sergei took part in the film "Rejection" by Vladimir Lert, where he played the main role.

After 5 years, he began acting in the historical drama “Alexander Dovzhenko. Odessa Dawn ", in which his wife Snezhana played the second main role. A few months later, the shooting of the full-length film was suspended due to alarming events in Ukraine. Only a short version of the film was released. In five films, Sergei starred in episodic roles.

Sergey Babkin is married for the second time. His first wife was Lilia Rotan. In this marriage in 2005, the son of Ilya was born. Since the singer led a hectic lifestyle, the couple soon broke up. For a while, Lilia's relatives even forbade Sergei to see his son. Soon the first wife emigrated to Canada with the boy. At the moment, Ilya is actively involved in sports, playing hockey.

Sergey met his second wife in 2007. Snezhana Vartanyan immediately impressed him, it was love at first sight. The girl already had a son from her first marriage named Arthur, who turned out to be a year younger than her own son Sergei. Therefore, the singer immediately treated him like his own. The artist stopped drinking, settled down. Together with Snezhana, they got married almost immediately, and then got married. In 2010, a long-awaited girl appeared in the family, who was named Veselina.

The musician's children, with their inclinations, went to their father: both love to sing and are engaged in a music school. Sergei and Snezhana Babkiny work together in the theater. They play in the same performances and movies. The singer is filming with his wife in music videos.

In 2016, a video for the single "YYY" appeared on the network, in which a happy couple appears having fun on a roller coaster.

In 2017, at the end of January, the 7th season of the “Voice of the Country” show started on the Central Television of Ukraine, in which Sergey Babkin was invited as a mentor. He took the place of the retired teacher Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. He was a strong coach - two times his players became winners.

The four masters in the new season also included Tina Karol, Potap and Jamala. "Voice of the Country" collects great ratings, this show is no less popular in Ukraine than a similar project in Russia.
