Sergey Kuprik

Sergey Kuprik's voice cannot be confused with anyone. It is hard to imagine that Grigory Leps and Katya Ogonyok auditioned for the place of the soloist of the Lesopoval group, but the audience associated the collective only with two Sergei - Korzhukov and Kuprik. The first died tragically, and the second has been pursuing a solo career for a long time, but at every concert hits of the 90s “I'll buy you a house”, “Let's sit, boys”, “Mimosa branch” are played without fail.

Sergei Kuprik is a Muscovite, born in 1973, on November 7, a holiday for Soviet citizens. He studied at school number 626, where, in addition to general subjects, great attention was paid to electives of theatrical specialization. Perhaps this affected the development of Kuprik's creative talents.

In the courtyard, the boy was known as a bully and a bully, so his mother, in order to protect her son from the influence of the street, gave him a guitar. Sergei considered the instrument as a means to attract the attention of girls, but after graduating from school he entered the Gnessin School, the famous pop and jazz department, which graduated Valentina Legkostupova, Raisa Saed-Shah, Valeria, Katya Lel, Marina Khlebnikova. The first teacher, associate professor Natalia Andrianova, Kuprik is still engaged in vocals.

Sergey came to Lesopoval on the recommendation of a teacher from Gnesinka. At the audition he sang the song of Alexander Rosenbaum "Zoika". But the head of the group - composer Mikhail Tanich - decided that the 16-year-old boy was too young for the band with the image of inveterate "inmates".

After the death of Korzhukov, Tanich called himself and invited the singer to become a member of the group. With "Lesopoval" Sergei traveled all over Russia, performed in concert halls and in places of detention, the team with a distinctive original style was enthusiastically received abroad. Songs performed by Kuprik were included in almost two dozen albums. The band's videos are mostly live recordings, but this does not detract from their merits in the eyes of the fans.

When Mikhail Tanich passed away, the performer decided that there were no further prospects from now on, and left the group. I talked with the widow of the leader, Lydia Kozlova, and parted, according to Sergei, peacefully and calmly. However, former colleagues Vyacheslav Velichkovsky and Stanislav Volkov did not think so. In their opinion, the departure of the soloist is a betrayal, however, they wished good luck in solo performances.

Sergei still fondly recalls the “logging” page of his biography. But, he says, within the group, personal projects were prohibited, and the musician strove to sing what his soul was in, and not what was "descended from above."

At the beginning of his independent path, Kuprik was overcome by doubts and even fear of whether he would succeed, whether he would find his own audience. The wife Katya, who quit her job on television and retrained as director of Sergei, helped. There was simply no other way out, according to the woman, she had to live on something. Ekaterina learned the basics of administration by watching the work of "Lumberjack", and not everything she liked there.

Over time, Kuprik began to collaborate with the husband of the singer Vika Tsyganova - Vadim, composer Alexander Morozov, whose works are performed by Russian pop stars. In addition, Alexander Fedorkov, former director and arranger of Lesopoval, later joined the creative community.

In 2012, Sergei's personal discography included the first album entitled "White Swan". The presentation of the disc was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the singer's professional activity and a concert was organized at the Moscow Variety Theater.

In 2015, Kuprik's second solo album, Russia - My Motherland, was released. The album contains 12 songs of a patriotic orientation, some of which were recorded with the Alexandrov Song and Dance Ensemble, even with that famous line-up that later died in a plane crash.

"How beautiful you are" - while Sergey's last studio work, the disc was released in 2017. Kuprik admits that he does not write poetry himself, except that he selects a melody on the guitar. And in the composition of words for music, no one has yet surpassed the genius of Mikhail Tanich.

Sergey's first marriage was civil, a son was born in him, who was given the rare name Neil. The performer admitted that hot fatherly feelings in him never woke up. The young man lives with his mother in Latvia and does not seek to communicate with the Kuprik family either.

The singer met his second wife in America in 2006. Ekaterina is a journalist by her first education, she had an internship on television in the States. "Lesopoval" at that time came on tour, and the musicians were invited for an interview. The girl "hooked" Sergei with the fact that she had no idea what kind of group it was. Later, the couple exchanged phones and had a long distance romance.

By that time, Kuprik had built a luxurious house in the Moscow region and once invited Katya to see how he lives. The journalist could no longer leave. Sergei and Catherine got married only in 2012, and then only because they tortured calls from the registry office, where the lovers did not appear several times.

In addition, the unofficial situation complicated the professional life, because the contracts of the performer were concluded in the name of the wife, and the opposite side had questions as to what relation to creativity has a foreign person from a legal point of view.

In the family, according to Kuprik, there is not even a photo from the celebration, everything happened so quickly. They returned from concerts in the Far East, put stamps and left to celebrate in Montenegro, where Sergei has another house. And in Russia, the couple started a small farm in the form of a rat, 4 parrots, 3 dogs and 2 cats. The couple has no common children yet.

In his spare time, Kuprik uses the skills of a joiner, carpenter and woodcarver. He keeps in shape by exercising in the gym, at one time he even lost 28 kg, following the advice of Maya Plisetskaya "Don't eat!" The musician's hobby is radio-controlled aircraft modeling.

Sergei's personal life and work are illustrated by pictures published on Instagram, on the official website and in a group on VKontakte.

The work of Sergei Kuprik was evaluated at the state level - in March 2018, the singer was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia. The news caught the performer while touring the Urals and Siberia, before that he traveled to New Zealand and Australia.

In the fall of the same year, Sergei, whose work schedule has hundreds of locations on several continents, visited Novaya Zemlya for the first time. The musician came to the harsh northern archipelago at the invitation of the Russian Ministry of Defense to give a concert for the military. The security department noted the contribution of the Kuprikov to support the Russian contingent in Syria, awarding them with medals of the participants in the military operation in this Arab country.

In addition, Sergei took part in the celebrations dedicated to the Day of Moscow, the festival "Eehh, Razgulyay!", Held by Radio Shanson.

The popular performer plans to spend the winter and spring of 2019 on a concert tour timed to coincide with two significant events - his own 45th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of stage activity.
