Next, let's talk about the person who founded the Dolphin group. Its composition is very variable, and only Andrei Vyacheslavovich Lysikov, better known by a similar stage name, never left the project. Let's talk about it in more detail.
After graduating from school, the future musician became a student at the radiomechanical technical school. Left him after 3 courses. He worked part time in trade and theater, doing parallel break-dance. Andrey received a number of diplomas and prizes at various dance festivals.
Scandals and success
Dolphin is the group that released the album "Out of Focus" in 1997. In the summer of 1997, two scandals occurred with Andrei Lysikov. During a performance at the international bike show, disgruntled bikers threw the musician into banks. Later, while on the air of the program "Party Zone", this man sang an obscene song called "I love people." As a result, the Dolphin project disappeared from television for a long time.
Dolphin is a band that, however, recorded a new album the same year. It was called "Depth of Field." The output of the plate was postponed several times. It was published only in 1999. The songs actively use samples of various hits, as well as processed parts of live instruments. The texts relate mainly to the experiences that excite people. MTV has shown the music videos created for the songs. As a result, the popularity of the project has sharply increased.
Concerts began to take place with success. Particular attention was paid to the visual side of each show. The director of the concerts was Pavel Ruminov. A special video program was being prepared, which was shown on screens. Various break bands participated in the concerts. Rap, as a rule, was read under a minus soundtrack.
In 2000, a live album was released entitled "I Will Live." It was accompanied by a video version. Also, the studio work “Fins” was published. Material for her was recorded, and also fully prepared for release two years before publication. However, the Cream Records studio had concerns that the Fins would not sell well. Only after the concert album and the song “Radio Wave” won success, the disc was released.
Then the group continued to work, and the next disc came out - “Fabrics”. For the first time, borrowed elements and samples were not used in this work. The album did not receive much success among the listeners, but it was reissued and supplemented with two bonus tracks.
- The next disc, entitled “Star,” was released in 2004. It has become one of the most commercially successful. Four songs from this record hit the radio station at once: “Spring”, “Silver”, “Romance” and “Eyes”.
