Viktor Drobysh

Viktor Drobysh is a famous music composer and producer, who became famous for his work with many pop stars and harsh remarks about colleagues in show business.

Today he is one of the most productive Russian producers. His wards regularly become laureates of prestigious music awards.

Viktor Drobysh was born on June 27, 1966 in St. Petersburg, but in response to questions about nationality, he does not hide his Belarusian roots. The family of the future producer was of average income, the parents did not have special finances, but they did not live in poverty either: father Yakov Yakovlevich was a specialist in turning, and mother Nadezhda Nikolaevna worked as a doctor.

From childhood, the boy grew up purposeful and dreamy. When, at the age of 5, he wanted to play the piano, all his relatives, with the exception of his father, were against it. The piano then cost like a full-fledged car, but Yakov Yakovlevich took out a loan and bought an expensive instrument for his beloved son.

At the age of 6, Viktor independently enrolled in a music school to improve his skills. However, like many children, over time the young musician wanted to play in the Zenit football team, to become a pilot or an aircraft designer. But then his father insisted on continuing his musical career. After graduating from school in 1981, Drobysh entered the Rimsky-Korsakov Leningrad Conservatory.

In his youth, Victor himself worked as a music performer: long-haired, slender, harmonious in height and appearance (Drobysh's height is 177 cm), the blond had every chance of becoming a pop star. Victor began his musical biography with the keyboardist of the Zemlyane group, where he was invited by the guitarist Igor Romanov. Together with the once popular band, he went on tour throughout the country. The group soon broke up.

Igor Romanov decided to create another team, where he again called Victor and some guys from the previous group. The new project was named "Union", the first album was called "Igor Romanov and his group" due to problems with the Soviet censorship. The musicians gave concerts in their home country, and also visited West Germany.

In 1990, Drobysh became a member of the Pushking project, which was founded by vocalist Konstantin Shustarev. After recording a demo disc, the participants were noticed by German producers, who invited them to Germany to record a full-length album. Then Victor made useful contacts with foreign producers and studio owners.

In 1996, the musician and his friends moved from Russia to Germany, where he took up production activities. In order to start their own business, they had to sell their cars. Victor became the producer of the German group Culture Beat and the pop group No Angels. But he achieved the greatest popularity thanks to the project "BG The Prince Of Rap", whose songs for a long time topped the European charts. However, the man did not work out with business in Germany, and he moved to Finland, where his wife's relatives lived.

In Finland, Viktor worked for the Finnish-Russian radio station Sputnik, later becoming its vice-president. He also continued producing and composing, founding the "Pets" collective. The song "Da Di Dam" written by Drobysh became a hit in Finland and some other European countries, in particular Germany. For this song, the composer received the German Golden Disc award.

In 2002, Victor returned to his homeland, deciding to try himself as a producer of Russian stars. He began to collaborate with Valeria and Kristina Orbakaite, writing songs for them that instantly became hits. Valeria sang the song "Hours", and Kristina Orbakaite sang a Russian cover of the song "Da Di Dam", thanks to which the composition gained fame in the CIS countries.

Such a successful start allowed Viktor to become a sought-after composer among the stars of Russian show business. He collaborated with many artists - Stas Piekha, Natalya Podolskaya, Prokhor Chaliapin and other musicians.

Fame opened the way for Drobysh to television. In 2004, the composer Igor Krutoy invited the producer to the Star Factory-4 project on Channel One. Working with talented young people pushed the man to create the “Viktor Drobysh Production Center”. The main goal of the organization was the promotion and popularization of young talents, among whom there were numerous graduates of the show "Star Factory-3".

In 2006, Drobysh headed the Star Factory-6 music show, becoming its general producer. He also founded the National Music Corporation, where he took over as CEO in 2010.

For the producer, his wards are always important, Drobysh often made scandals in order to protect the teams with which he works. In 2011, Viktor Yakovlevich fell out with members of the Star Factory jury Dmitry Shepelev and Sergei Mazaev, who sharply criticized the Chelsea group. Drobysh called the last one "cow" on the air.

In 2012, Viktor Yakovlevich wrote the song "Party for Everybody" for the "Buranovskie Babushki" collective, which represented Russia at Eurovision. This musical composition helped the ensemble to take the 2nd place in the European competition.

In 2015, he started producing Alexander Ivanov under the creative pseudonym IVAN. Under the direction of Drobysh, the young vocalist released the hits "Cross and Palm", "Help You Fly" and "Kino about Love". He performed the last song in a duet with Irina Allegrova.

In 2016, Ivanov performed at Eurovision as a representative of Belarus. The details of IVAN's issue intrigued the public for a long time. Drobysh claimed that Alexander would sing naked, surrounded by wolves, and that an exclusive permission had already been obtained for this. The singer did perform with wolves, but not with real ones, but with detailed projections.

On December 17, 2016, a large jubilee concert took place, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Viktor Drobysh. The event was broadcast throughout the country on the "Russia" channel. The producer was congratulated by many Russian pop stars who recorded hits under the guidance of the hero of the day. The concert was attended by Grigory Leps, Valeria, Kristina Orbakaite, Irina Allegrova, Stas Piekha, Zara and others.

In the fall of 2014, rumors appeared in the press that Drobysh had a falling out with the popular and original singer Elena Vaenga, and the artist was the initiator of the conflict. She did not appear at the producer's creative evening, and her songs ceased to appear on Russian Radio, with which Viktor works. The producer did not comment on the rumors of a quarrel, but noted that his contract with Vaenga had expired long ago, and the singer refused to renew it. At the same time, Drobysh does not hold any grudge against her, does not try to harm her career in any way and will be glad if Elena herself continues to promote her own work.

Representatives of "Russian Radio" explained the absence of Vaenga's songs on the air by the fact that recently the singer has not performed anything that a major radio station would consider worthy of its broadcast.

A year later, no less scandalous news hit the Network: Victor had a fight with actress Nastasya Samburskaya. It soon turned out that the video was another prank by the actress, with which she often entertains her Instagram subscribers. In fact, the artist and producer are closely cooperating in the musical field: Anastasia is one of the members of the Drobysh music label.

The producer is open to everything new, many young musicians start working under his leadership. Thanks to his interest in young people, the composer became the hero of the song of the new star of Russian show business Monetochka. The girl recorded the track "Call me, Victor Drobysh", which was included in her mini-album "I am Liza".

In 2017, Drobysh was again at the center of a scandal. The producer spoke sharply about Olga Buzova and her work. Viktor Yakovlevich, who was later supported by singer Alexander Panayotov, said that concerts with Olga Buzova's participation would never be successful, and the singer herself had neither charisma nor talent. The celebrity responded to the insults on her Instagram, where she urged not to “PR at her expense,” and complained about hypocrisy in the music field.

Viktor Drobysh first married at the age of 20, the Finnish poet Elena Stuf. In 1987 their son Valery was born. Later, the young man followed in his father's footsteps and now works in tandem with him. When the couple were already living in the poet's homeland, she helped Victor in his career. In 1999, the couple had a second son, Ivan, who later became a drummer.

When Drobysh was invited to Moscow, Stuf and her children decided to stay in Finland. As a result, the long distance played a role, and in 2004 the couple filed for divorce.

Nevertheless, the composer managed to maintain good relations with his ex-wife, they also continued their musical collaboration. Again, the producer's personal life did not develop immediately.

In September 2007, Victor met his future second wife, Tatyana Nusinova. The fateful meeting took place thanks to mutual friends. A few weeks after meeting, the producer confessed his love and invited Nusinova to marry, the wedding was played in June 2008. 2 years later, their daughter Lydia was born, and in 2011 the family was replenished with the birth of Daniel. Tatyana has a son Anton from a previous marriage.

Viktor Drobysh is investing in the formation of Russian show business. At the end of 2017, he became the producer of the project of the MUZ-TV channel "New Star Factory". Soon, the first of its kind online academy "Formula Stars" was opened. The composer created the show business school in order to select new artists who will become the future of the Russian stage.

The wards of the producer learn to independently create musical hits, write music that can generate income. The speakers and teachers of the lectures and lessons that are broadcast via the Web are the producer himself, singer Valeria, her husband Joseph Prigogine, actress Nastasya Samburskaya. Classes and webinars are held at the "Victor Drobysh Production Center". The school announces its work from the pages of the composer's official website. Drobysh publishes a photo of the participants in his personal account on Instagram.

In the fall of 2018, Viktor Yakovlevich became a guest of the TV show "With the Whole Voice", which has been running for the second season on the MIR 24 TV channel. The songs of the composer on the second day of the competition were performed by young musicians from Russia and other post-Soviet countries. After the performance, Drobysh met with the participants in the show and gave each of them professional advice.

At the same time, Victor surprised the public with a statement that he was ready to become a producer of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from Ufa, who was raped by three chiefs. The story received a great resonance in society. Reporters drew attention to the fact that the girl is fond of singing. Drobysh agreed to the proposal of the journalists of Komsomolskaya Pravda to take the young performer under his wing.
