Music producer Maxim Fadeev is known, if not all, then to many. The audience knows the names of the artists with whom he collaborates - the Silver group, Katya Lel, Nargiz, Yulia Savicheva, Glukoza, Oleg Miami ... And in the distant two thousandth, at the very beginning of the new century, Maxim Alexandrovich had another project - a girl under the pseudonym Monokini. Where is she now, what is with her and what is the biography of singer Monokini?
Who is Monokini?
Now, most people don’t even remember that the sonorous girl who performed such hits of the beginning of the century as “Reaching the Sun”, “Sitting on the Clouds”, “Ticking” and others is Monokini. The songs remained in my memory, but their performer - no. How can I find out anything about her?
Many people, when they want to know something, usually go to Wikipedia. However, the biography of the singer Monokini on Wikipedia is missing. Mention of her is, but only. Meanwhile, the girl’s real name is Tatyana. There really isn’t a lot of information about it, and most of the information that exists refers either to creativity or is gossip. Such personal data as height, weight of the singer Monokini can not be found. But still, something is known about her.
Childhood
Tanya was born in the glorious city of Volgograd. It happened in 1982, in November. The girl’s mom is a nurse, dad is a simple worker. There has never been much prosperity in the family — where do the physicians and factory workers get large salaries from?
Tatyana grew up in a disadvantaged area - the Volgograd residents call him simply and succinctly: “pit”. There, near the house where Tanya Zaikina lived her young years , there is nothing more, just wasteland and garages. In the family, in addition to the girl, there were two more eldest sons. But either the dysfunctional atmosphere around, or something else - however, both Tatyana’s brothers went to prison.
Tanya, in the footsteps of her brothers, obviously did not want to go. All Volgograd acquaintances who remember her in childhood say that she was a very stubborn and purposeful girl. And she wanted to "beat out into people." Since childhood, Tanya was fond of music, studied at a music school (and successfully graduated from it), from the eleventh grade she even sang in a local group. By the way, all Tatyana’s comrades in the musical group, having matured, also achieved success in this field - but luck came to Tanya earlier than others. At school, the future singer studied poorly. Due to constant performances and music classes, one often had to skip classes, there was no time to catch up with the class either. The teachers and the director did not like the girl, at one time there was even a fear that she would not be allowed to finish the eleventh grade. But nothing happened. The school was left behind, Tanya's lucky star burned brightly ahead and was called Moscow.
The Fadeev brothers
Just at the time when Tanya Zaikina from Volgograd was eighteen years old, in Moscow the Fadeev brothers (the eldest Maxim is more experienced and eminent, the younger Artyom, less known, but also talented) launched a new musical project in the style of disco. They needed a soloist, a young beautiful girl with a good voice - but all the right people were not there.
The case helped. Volgograd - the city seems to be not very small, but those who revolve in the same sphere, in the same party, all know each other. The DJ of the Total band, popular in those years, was also from Volgograd and knew Tanya. She let the Fadeevs listen to how the Volgograd girls were singing. Among them was a recording of Tanya. The brothers did not think for a long time. So, at the age of eighteen, Tatyana’s life turned upside down abruptly, and Moscow and two serious musical guardians appeared in the biography of singer Monokini (the future, of course).
Why such a name?
While still living in Volgograd, Tanya came up with the pseudonym Mona - it seemed to her that he sounded much better than her real name. Moscow producers slightly adjusted its version. In addition, “monokini” is not a word coined by musicians, but a kind of swimsuit with cutouts on the sides (earlier, only the bottom of the swimsuit was called so: “mono” means one).
Reached for the sun
The dizzying career in the biography of the singer Monokini (in the photo the girl is sexy and charming) began precisely with the track with the same name - "Reach for the Sun." Others followed, and the debut video was shot for the song "Sitting on the Clouds." Tanya, as they say, woke up famous. Constant rotation on the radio, television, performances, shooting, touring ... She had a rich pop life. They talked about her, listened to her songs. There was no such direction in which Tanya worked on our stage at that time. The Fadeev brothers successfully ended up in a vacant niche. Two years after the start of the project, Monokini released his debut album. It was also called "Reach for the Sun" - after the title track. In total, there were ten tracks on the record, almost each of them could already be called a hit.
After the first success
After the first success, a second comes to many artists, followed by a third, a fourth - and so all his life. But the second success never came to Tanya. In the creative biography of the singer Monokini, there was a lull.
More precisely, she worked, new singles were recorded. There were several of them after the debut album. However, there was no material for the new album. And soon, the artist completely disappeared from the radar of viewers. What happened in Tatyana’s life? How has the biography of singer Monokini changed?
A bit about personal
Love and work cannot be confused - many people think so. But Tanya thought differently, because she had a fast-moving romance with Artem, the younger brother of Maxim Fadeev and the arranger of all her songs. And this novel was so serious that it even ended in marriage. However ... Who knows what really happened? It was rumored that Tatyana turned out to be windy and abandoned Artem, who bought her in money and performed any whims, for the sake of another man (just the one who is now her husband). They also said that she loved to go out alone to nightclubs and walk there until morning - and it is not surprising that, therefore, cavaliers always turned around her. Believe it or not, it’s everyone’s business, but somehow this marriage did not last long, and with it Tatyana’s collaboration with Maxim Fadeev was a thing of the past. The Monokini project has ceased to exist.
Biography of singer Monokini: now
After parting with the Fadeevs (this happened approximately in 2005-2006), Tanya fell silent. For a while, there was neither a rumor nor a spirit about her, until information appeared that the girl had married again, was happy in marriage and, moreover, had a baby. Tatyana called her daughter Nastya, her current spouse, whose last name she now bears, is called Oleg. He works in the leadership of the Red Square music directorate, Tatyana herself works as the senior editor in the same organization.
But what about the music of the singer Monokini now (biography and photo in the article) ? She is still present in her life. After about six years of silence, Tatyana returned to the stage again. She is no longer Monokini, but again Mona - the girl remembered the old and beloved pseudonym. Mona does not have a producer, she is on her own - she sings what she likes. She may not have as many speeches as she could have been under the eminent master in the leaders, but the main thing is that they are - as is their own circle of devoted listeners. Despite everything, the music remains in Tannin's life.
