The Paint Group was founded more than 15 years ago in Belarus. Its permanent producer and founder is Alexei Voronov, who was also the author of most hits. Having changed several compositions over the years of its existence, the creative team is still relevant and popular. What is the name of the main soloist of the group and how the collective was based - we read further.
How it all began. First steps
Initially, the group consisted of four members who were invited by the founder of the project. Borovik Ekaterina is a soloist of the group “Paints”. Guseva Olga became the most permanent member of the team. She was engaged in staging choreography for artists. Vasily Bogomia and Andrei Chigir took the places of the band’s musicians. Soon enough, the composition was slightly changed. Oksana Kovalevskaya replaced Katya on vocals. It is worth noting that the newly appointed soloist of the group “Paints” was also Alexey’s wife at that time.
The debut of the team took place at the end of 2001. Their first album, "You are already an adult," blew up the capital of Belarus. Almost immediately, Alexei Voronov arranged a tour for his group in his native Belarus.
"Colors" in Russia. Eternal change
Immediately after the first success, it was decided to focus on the Russian stage. The main forces of the team were thrown to conquer the Moscow audience. When the authorities of Belarus began the persecution of some variety artists, including the team of Alexei Voronov, the producer decided to move the office to the Russian capital.
A few years later Oksana Kovalevskaya left the team. The reason for the timeout taken was very positive. The soloist of the group “Paints” was preparing for the role of mother. Oksana did not return from maternity leave to the team, but threw all her strength into building her solo career.
She was replaced by a new singer - Catherine Sasha. She was soon replaced by the new soloist of the group “Paints” - Marina Ivanova. With her arrival, the image of the team was significantly updated. A fresh program was recorded.
In recent years, soloist in the group Daria Subbotina. "Colors" give more than ten concerts every month, which is clearly the merit of the permanent producer Andrei Voronov. The popularity of the group can be traced by the ratings in the charts and constant full houses.
Geography
The geography of the group’s performances is not limited to the CIS venues. The team visited with their hits countries such as the USA and Germany, performed in Israel and the Netherlands. Fan clubs of groups were created in the largest cities of Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, Israel, and the USA.
Criticism
Show-programs of the “Paints” group deserve to gather full halls. But not a single creative process is complete without criticism from connoisseurs, and sometimes simply envious ones. The most common "stone in the garden" is the accusation that the lyrics are not burdened with meaning. However, fans of creativity note the opposite. Ease of perception is very popular. The texts touch upon familiar topics: friendship and love will always be close to fans.
Interestingly, criticism poured on the team even at the time when he received awards. For example, at the beginning of their career, in 2002, the group was recognized as the “Discovery of the Year”. Nevertheless, reproaches of vulgarity rained down on all sides. We must pay tribute to Alexei Voronov, who always knew how to avoid sharp corners in relations with ill-wishers.
In press
One of the most serious incidents related to the name of the group was the abduction of vocalist Marina Ivanova in 2012. Her release by the police was very widely covered in the media. The divorce of Alexei Voronov and Oksana Kovalevskaya also caused a big wave of gossip, interspersed with facts. To distinguish reality from fiction now, probably, no one has been given. Moreover, whenever there are several parties involved in a conflict, there are at least two truths.
Periodically, in various publications there were scandals on the topic of "double" concerts. At the same time, the group “Paints” performed in different cities of the country. Some associated this with the speculations of the producer Alexey Voronov himself. Most were inclined to the fact that the team itself became a victim of fraudsters.
Scammers
We can assume that the real fame for the team came in 2006. It was then that doubles began to appear throughout Russia. They copied the images of the participants, forged posters and performed songs by Aleksey Voronov.
Until today, the band’s administration has been monitoring false concerts and informing fans not to be vigilant. On the group’s official website, there is even a special section entitled “Caution, scammers!” Insuring yourself from scams is, in fact, quite simple. You need to check the site of the group “Paints”. After all, it is there that the latest relevant information is published about all upcoming concerts.
