Tynis Myagi

Tõnis Mägi is a popular singer and actor from Estonia during the Soviet era. Performer of disco-style songs famous throughout the Union.

Tõnis was born in 1948. Music played a big role in the family of the future famous artist, so the child's creative and musical potential was revealed and developed from early childhood. The child knew how to sing and compose, in his youth he learned to play the guitar, did not feel constrained on stage, was absolutely not afraid of the audience. He got a technical education, got a job at a factory, then went into the army. All this time he performed with little-known ensembles.

After the service, he returned to Estonia and began to sing for money in entertainment establishments. Once the producers of the show “Hello, we are looking for talents” approached him, as they would be called now, and offered to take part in their competition, which Tõnis Mägi won with ease.

The promising singer was noticed by the composer David Tukhmanov and invited to perform and record his song. After performing on the New Year show, the track "Stop the Music" instantly became a hit.

The growth of Tõnis' popularity was rapid. The artist stood out against the background of other Soviet pop stars of that period - both in image, and appearance, and clothing. He largely copied foreign fashion, which madly attracted fans. For Tõnis, songs were written by mastodons of pop music. His performance, together with the elusive special pronunciation of Russian words, mesmerized the audience.

The culmination of Mägi's creativity in the Union was the performance of a song in honor of the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow, which unofficially became the main song of 1980. A large-scale video clip was filmed for this work about the fire of the Olympics, which is still associated with a great era in the history of the country.

He went on a big tour, first in the Union, then in foreign countries. The schedule was exhausting, the concert followed the concert, the artist spent months on the road. At the same time, rhythmic songs and colorful videos appeared in which Mägi sang and moved beautifully.

Records were released with his photo in unusual images on the covers. He also participated in television music programs broadcast throughout the country, and in the creation of a musical film.

He gave his final big concert in the Soviet Union in 1987. In the future, the artist's work was associated with other directions in music, the author of which was he himself.

Many years later, Tõnis Mägi admitted that in his youth he sang songs in a style that he did not like. The songs seemed to him too entertaining, frivolous. He also wanted to perform heavier and more serious music, he wanted to make his work meaningful. Perhaps it was this dissonance - the discrepancy between internal needs and external obligations - together with the lack of sufficient experience to successfully defend their interests in youth, and led to difficulties in the future fate of Tõnis.

For many years of his life, Tõnis Mägi struggled with the strongest alcohol addiction. The artist understood that alcoholism ruins his life, in search of support and spiritual guidance, he turned to the Protestant faith. According to him, it saved his life. He currently pays a lot of attention to this aspect of his life and promotes spiritual values ​​in his work.

The artist is now married, this is his fourth marriage. The first two unions broke up partly due to the artist's difficult schedule. The third marriage was devastating for both halves. The artist's wife herself suffered from alcohol addiction, Tõnis spent a lot of effort, time and money trying to save his wife from herself. 

But, unfortunately, he did not succeed and it all ended very tragically - his third wife died, leaving her husband alone with his young daughter. The singer took this loss hard. It was this situation that finally pushed Tynis himself away from alcohol and brought him into faith.

In addition to his daughter from his third marriage, the artist also has children: a daughter from his first marriage and two daughters, whom his fourth wife gave birth to. A strong family supports the artist in his rehabilitation after years of struggle with addiction to alcohol.

For a long time, the fate of Tõnis remained a mystery to the Russian audience. The most varied and sometimes absurd rumors circulated. It was the great interest in the fate of the singer that became the reason that Tynis became interested in Russian television. As a result, a separate program was broadcast dedicated to the artist, once famous in Russia.

Tõnis Mägi visited Malakhov and spoke about his life in recent years. After the release of the program on television, the artist made a statement that his words and history were perverted for the sake of ratings. At the time of the broadcast, Tõnis Mägi had already overcome addiction and lived and worked beautifully surrounded by family and loved ones, became a full-fledged member of society.

However, in the program he was presented in the form of a deeply unhappy, unsettled and still drinking person, almost a marginal, which deeply offended the singer. After all, this program is aired on the country's main TV channel and everything said in it has weight in Russian society. According to the singer, it was an extremely unpleasant experience, but he leaves this story on the conscience of the authors of the program.

Tõnis Mägi is happy to talk about what he is doing now. He lives in Estonia, plays in a drama theater, composes music for theatrical performances and concert performances, travels with concerts around the country. He publishes music collections with new material, and also publishes works previously unused in albums. Prior to that, he moved to Sweden for several years, where he was the host of an author's radio show.

His repertoire has changed a lot - now it is dominated by rock-style ballads. After the collapse of the Union, he devoted himself to the music that he always liked. He learned to recognize his passions and independently compose songs for himself on the topics that he considered the most relevant. 

So, he wrote a song to raise the spirit of patriotism in Estonia at a time when the struggle for independence was intensifying in the country. The work received many positive reviews and became the anthem of the youth of that time. Otherwise, his work is based on spiritual values ​​and sometimes even reflects religious themes.

In 2013, the legendary singer came to Russia with concerts. The fans were struck by the changes in the singer's image and repertoire, but they warmly welcomed Tõnis in a new image. Especially for longtime fans of creativity, Mägi performed a couple of his hits, which he had not sung for many years.

Tõnis Mägi is a public activist. He is worried about environmental problems. In this regard, he even got involved in politics and joined the local Green Party.

Tõnis' work has been highly praised by critics and authorities on numerous occasions. He was awarded orders, prizes and titles for his contribution to culture. And his songs received recognition at music festivals.

Tõnis Mägi published a book about his creative path and the twists and turns of fate. Now, in his own words, he is happy. He lives a measured life for his own pleasure, spends a lot of time with his family, is engaged in raising beautiful daughters. The artist overestimated the importance of money and fame in life, giving preference to family values.
