Noskov Nikolai Ivanovich is a well-known multifaceted singer who performs songs in the style of rock and pop music. He became the first performer from the USSR, whose songs were heard all over America. In modern times, his solo compositions are also relevant and popular.
Early childhood
The future singer was born in a small town in the Smolensk region in 1956. Therefore, at the moment, the age of Nikolai Noskov reaches sixty-one years. Parents of the boy are ordinary workers. My father worked hard at a meat factory, his mother worked at a farm and construction site. There were five children in the family, so they lived rather poorly and simply.
Craving for music
At the age of eight, Kolya went to school, where his outstanding abilities and talents immediately showed up. The boy sang in the choir, took constant part in matinees and student performances. True, the choir later went wrong - the gifted Noskov wanted to sing on his own.
And he sang. From school, Nikolai Noskov, whose biography and work in the near future will win the hearts of millions, won the authority of his peers with his beautiful lively voice. The boy became famous for performing songs in English, which he was new to. By hearing catching the words of foreign songs and writing them in Russian letters, Kolya received recognition and respect from many fellow practitioners.
Once, an English teacher called Noskov to the blackboard and asked him to translate the text of the song he was performing. The guy did not master the task. And then the teacher uttered reproachfully the prophetic words: "Kolya, you need English more than others. Teach him." And the novice singer Nikolai Noskov began independently and selflessly practicing in a foreign dialect.
Parents did not interfere with his son's musical passion. They helped him to be responsible and disciplined, but at the same time taught him not to get lost among the common stereotypes and to be able to correctly present himself in communication with others. Therefore, the father and mother contributed to the development of the musical talent of the child, considering it a useful and practical hobby. Kolya was given a button accordion, on which he independently learned to play and was even able to compose his own tunes. The accordion was followed by the piano, percussion instruments, guitar, trumpet, which the growing child mastered just as carefully and talentedly.
At the age of fourteen, the guy took part in a regional competition of young performers, where he won an honorable first place. However, the parents did not want their son to devote his life to music thoroughly. They saw him at the serious work of an engineer or technologist. Therefore, Nikolai Noskov, whose biography was just beginning to take shape, at the insistence of his father received a vocational education and began to give solo concerts in city restaurants and cafes. At that time, he brought his considerable considerable fee to the family.
Carier start
The guy began to engage in professional singing in the group "Peers". At that time, the age of Nikolai Noskov approached the mark of twenty-four years. This was followed by VIA "Nadezhda" and "Moscow". The latter was organized by the progressive composer Tukhmanov, who liked the husky "non-Soviet" voice of young Noskov. The group performed rock-style songs with a complex dynamic arrangement and other musical special effects, a bit unusual for the Soviet citizen. And although the ensemble did not last long, having performed only a few concerts and recorded only one record, it had a huge impact on the fate and work of the performer. A hoarse, sonorous singing sounded throughout the Soviet Union, the culprit of which was Nikolai Noskov. Biography and photos of the young musician became public.
It was thanks to his acquaintance with Tukhanov that Noskov took place as a talented singer. With an advanced composer, he had the opportunity to work in a professional recording studio and realize the whole drive from communicating with live fans. Feeling the taste of the stage and fame, Nikolai Noskov decided to devote the rest of his life to music.
Different ensembles
But the rock band did not last long. Ahead of her time, she seemed wild for censorship and variety officials. "Moscow" was followed by other projects - "Singing Hearts", "Grand Prix", as well as performances in private restaurants, bringing decent income and great practice both in solo performances and in teaching a foreign language.
"Gorky Park"
But the most important achievements of the singer is participation in the Gorky Park group. From that moment, Nikolai Noskov, whose biography and work acquired a special direction, became famous outside the Union. 1988 is the time of the "thaw" and friendship with the West. It is time to create a Soviet heavy band that would compete with American bands.
Stas Namin seized the opportunity presented by fate and put together the Gorky Park project, which got its name from the place where the studio for rehearsals was located. Nikolay Noskov, Alexey Belov, Alexander Lvov and others were invited to the group.
In a world-class ensemble, the singer was very interested in his first-class knowledge of the language and the ability to play the guitar masterly. Of the eleven compositions by the group, only three were selected by the Americans for their show business, but they simply blew up foreign charts. For such an occasion, Noskov wrote his song Bang !, which won the hearts of the inhabitants of the United States, the inhabitants of the country of the Soviets, and the inhabitants of many European countries. The English-language hit took pride of place in many foreign charts. Aimed at overseas audiences, the group traveled to American lands, gathering full halls of fans and connoisseurs of heavy metal.
"Gorky Park" performed at the opening of the legendary Scorpions, and then even recorded a song with them. But due to nervous strain or physical overload, the main soloist began to lose his voice. And this is exactly when the gold treaty was signed! There was no time for treatment, and the Soviet guys, as they say, "got the money." Economic problems led to difficulties in the team, and Nikolai was forced to leave the group and return to his homeland with a meager amount in his pocket.
Life after Gorky Park
Upon his return to Russia, Nikolai Noskov, whose personal life and creative activity, it would seem, gave a crack, began to struggle for his place in show business with all his might.
He creates his own ensemble "Nikolai" with English-language hits and begins touring in Russia. But soon in the worldview of the singer, a personal turning point occurs. He realizes that foreign words no longer turn fans on, and realizes with surprise that hard rock has ceased to cling to him. Noskov is trying to find a new trend for his work and meets an amazing person Joseph Prigozhin.
Image change
Soon Prigozhin became the producer and mentor of Nikolai Noskov. Together with him, the singer bursts onto the stage with his hit in the style of popular music "I'm Not Fashionable" (1996). Then follow the solo album "Whim" and the disc "Paranoia". The enterprising Prigogine leads his own personal company, where hits are released.
Pop art again raises Noskov to the top of the musical Olympus. Tours, sold-outs, public acclaim, adoring fans, constant victories at the Golden Gramophone ... Nikolay becomes popular and famous, performs with well-known pop singers, records hits that have been popular until today (for example, his hit from the distant 2000 " It's great"). In 2012, the pop artist released his next album with the intriguing title “Untitled”, which can be acquired only by attending a singer’s concert.
Personal life
The famous performer lived all his life with one woman - Marina, whom he met in the restaurant where he performed. The wife of Nikolai Noskov admits that at first she was not impressed by the little-known singer. But later, after a long romance, she discovered the guy's wonderful qualities and talents and agreed to marriage. In 1992, the couple had a long-awaited daughter. Little Catherine was initially shy of her father's popularity, but later began to admire him and be proud.
Singer Nikolai Noskov and his wife live together, in peace and harmony, under the wise and loving guidance of the head of the family. Despite all kinds of trials and temptations, the couple were able to remain faithful and respectful to each other.
Health
But recently, the family of Nikolai Noskov experienced difficult days. Suddenly, a sixty-year-old singer felt ill and was hospitalized in intensive care in a grave condition. Doctors predicted a clot removal operation. At the moment, Noskov Nikolai Ivanovich is in the hospital, and nothing threatens his health. The singer had to cancel the planned spring concerts.
