The group "BiS" is one of the groups that brightly and brilliantly began a musical career, and then suddenly disappeared from the scene. The article will tell about the history of the group, as well as why its members Bikbaev and Sokolovsky stopped speaking.
First steps to success
The fateful meeting of the future members of the team took place in 2007 during the casting in the sensational project "Star Factory". He lived up to his name, because he managed to light many Russian pop stars. The BiS group was no exception. Dmitry Bikbaev and Vlad Sokolovsky managed to become good friends and always stayed together on the show. They sang a duet at the reporting concerts of the participants. The guys performed so harmoniously shoulder to shoulder that they became one of the most rated "manufacturers." However, suddenly Dmitry was among the nominees for leaving and left the show. It seemed that the bright plans of friends for a joint musical career were not destined to be realized.
Unexpected take-off after falling
The loyal fans of the children were in despair. But on November 18 at the grand concert, the incredible happened. Dmitry Bikbaev was returned to the project. Konstantin Meladze announced that Dima and Vlad will be part of the BiS group, which he will take under his caring producer wing. This name was not taken by chance. It is composed of the first letters of the names of the soloists.
Meladze, who always managed to fruitfully organize the activities of his wards, came to grips with the promotion of the beginning duo. An excellent basis for the upcoming popularity was the "Factory". The only thing left was to write high-quality songs for the guys. This was not difficult for Meladze.
Hit after hit
Very soon, the composition of the group "BiS" presented its first hit called "Yours or Nobody". The composition quickly soared to the top of the music charts and firmly established there. Fans were literally obsessed with two charming blondes. The next super hits were songs "Katya" and "Ships". Director Alan Badoev, known for working with Meladze, shot spectacular clips on these compositions in 2008 and 2009.
Konstantin carefully worked out the concept of the team, focusing on the teenage segment of the audience. The composition of the group "BiS" did not personify brutality, but a bold style of youth in the spirit of Justin Bieber. Dmitry and Vlad adhered to a metrosexual image, wore jewelry and long hair, and before the show did light makeup. For this, some chuckled at the guys, but the duo was hardly interested. Girls all over the country knew the words of their hits by heart and pasted the rooms with numerous posters with Bikbaev and Sokolovsky. These pretty blue-eyed blondes have become the subject of girlish dreams.
Scandalous decay
In 2010, the group "BiS", the songs of which were heard by everyone, announced the collapse. It shocked everyone. After all, very little time has passed since the formation of the collective, which had all the prospects for world fame. What caused such a disappointing decision?
Most likely, the whole point is a quarrel, behind which is the father of one of the soloists, Andrei Sokolovsky. It is believed that it was Vlad Sokolovsky who actively began to oppose joint work. “BiS”, as his parent convinced, is just a springboard for a solo career.
Indeed, on June 7, the media exaggerated the news of the breakup of the group, and in September Vlad presented his own project VS. Just a week later, the debut single "Curious" was released. The singer’s most recent track is The Target. The video for this song starred actress Natalia Bardo. Vlad’s personal life is also associated with the Star Factory. In 2015, he married Rita Dakota, who was also a member of the show.
Dmitry Bikbaev, the second vocalist who was part of the BiS group, similarly focused on another project. He became the frontman of 4POST. One of the English songs 4POST even became the soundtrack to the American film "Saving Lives". Nevertheless, in 2016, the team ceased to exist. At the moment, Bikbaev - holder of a GITIS diploma - plays in the "Theater of the Moon" and even puts on his own performances. In addition, he writes prose and poetry, starred in films and television shows, and also does charity work. Dmitry prefers to keep his personal life under the cover of secrets.
The group "BiS", the songs of which won various awards, remained only a memory, but fans still follow the solo career of their favorites.
