Sergey Zhukov

Sergey was born on May 22, 1976 in the Russian outback, the town of Dimitrovgrad, into a mixed family. Father Evgeny Zhukov was Russian, and mother Lilia Khaibullina was Tatar by nationality. After 6 years, the boy had a brother.

The singer says that his childhood was happy and cloudless. Sergei's mother worked as a music teacher, she instilled in the child a love of art, and at his primary school age the boy began to study the piano.

Young Zhukov was interested in many sports, from football and hockey to martial arts, which were gaining popularity in the 80s.

Later, Sergey became interested in bodybuilding, and this pastime almost became fatal for a teenager. After contacting bad company, he began using steroids to increase muscle, which led to poor health. Only thanks to the timely intervention of his mother, Sergey was able to refuse both the company and the use of such substances.

At the age of 17, Seryozha moved to Samara and got a job at the Europa Plus radio, where he became the host of the Hit-Hour program about new dance music. At this radio station, he met Alexei Potekhin, who hosted the author's program "Nursery from Potekhin."

Young people quickly agreed on music and decided to create their own project "Uncle Ray and Company." "Uncle" was Sergei, as he was so named for imitating the style of the famous techno musician Ray Slayngard.

After several months of rehearsals, Alexey and Sergey saved up a small amount of money and went to Tolyatti to record the first songs. To make a living, friends performed at various parties and quickly gained success in Togliatti and Samara. In 1995, they went to the capital.

During this period of their creative biography, Alexey and Sergei began to create those songs that later became the basis of the group "Hands Up!" and entered the first album. Young people decided on the name and style of the new project, but otherwise they were sorely unlucky. The crisis was raging in the country, the producers did not risk investing in dubious projects.

2 years later, Zhukov and Potekhin met with producer Andrei Malikov. In the spring, the duo performed at the Non-Stop 97 festival and in the same year released their first album, Breathe Evenly. 2 songs from this disc firmly settled on the tops of the Russian charts, and in the press the group was called nothing but the discovery of the year.

In 1998, Hands Up! 3 new albums were released at once. The unprecedented rise was marked by a surprisingly large number of awards, including a platinum disc for the number of copies sold and the Golden Gramophone for the song My Baby. The next few years, the popularity of the group only increased, the concerts were sold out. Together with her, the number of awards from Zhukov and Potekhin grew.

In 2000, the group parted ways with producer Andrei Malikov. The reasons remained unknown, and only information reached the press that there were financial disagreements. In the spring of the same year, the next album "Hello, it's me" was released. Critics highly appreciated the new compositions, and the song "Alyoshka" and the video for it instantly became a hit among the audience of the collective.

In support of the new disc "Hands Up!" conducted a large-scale tour that included cities in Russia, CIS countries and far abroad. It is noteworthy that this album was released on the B-Funky label, which Zhukov and Potekhin created to help young musical talents. In particular, the singer Murphy was promoted, and 2000 was marked by the release of a joint composition with a just beginning singer Diana Gurtskaya.

In 2001, the band released 2 more albums, songs from which were awarded various awards. By the beginning of the millennium, there was no pop group more in demand than Hands Up!

The next year was no less fruitful in the life of the team. The audience got the opportunity to enjoy the new album, in which the performers tried to move away from the usual genre of light pop music and create something more serious. However, judging by the reaction of critics, they failed to significantly change the situation. But the video for the song "He kisses you" instantly became popular thanks to the participation in the filming of the travesty artist Anatoly Evdokimov.

Group "Hands Up!" was recognized as one of the most frequently named songs when ordering from radio stations. Once again, compositions from the new album were nominated for the title "Song of the Year", and the duet itself put the fourth "Golden Gramophone" on its shelf. In the same year, Sergei's first solo album "Territory 2002" was released.

Gradually, a conflict began to brew between best friends. A few more years, the group "Hands Up!" traveled across the CIS. New albums continued to be released, and in 2006 Sergey announced that the team was breaking up. The duo played a number of farewell concerts, after which the former colleagues dispersed in different directions.

In an interview, Zhukov did not explain the reasons for the breakup of the group, evading an answer with lengthy phrases. The fact that there was still a conflict between friends became clear from the restrained answer to the question of whether they communicate after the end of their joint career. Sergei answered in the negative.
