Rapidly on the stage pop burst group "Degrees". Roman Pashkov and Ruslan Tagiyev became the “Breakthrough of the Year” in 2010 (Muz-TV Award). A few years later, the project ended with a big April concert in Moscow. Each of the guys went his own way. Pa-Shock is the new pseudonym for the main character of the article. But is it worth the fans to despair?
Revival of the group
In the summer of 2016, it became known that Yana Rudkovskaya signed a contract with musicians to promote their work. There is only one condition - the revival of the collective, which did not stop the concert activity with old hits. They have two studio albums: Feeling of Dexterity, recorded in 2014, and Naked (2011), which brought great popularity.
Roman Pashkov expressed his desire to find a new producer back in February, but no one thought that it would be Rudkovskaya. Under the terms of the contract, Dima Bilan became involved in the musical part of the project.
In the same year, a mini-album with five compositions appeared. Two of them were shot clips - "Valiguliai" and "Degree-100". The latter was attended by friends of the musicians, who remain their loyal fans: singer Elena Temnikova, video blogger Sasha Spilberg and figure skater Adelina Sotnikova. Not without the participation of Yana Rudkovskaya herself, Polina Gagarina and the new music producer of the group - Dima Bilan. A tour schedule is scheduled for 2017, which indicates the revival of "Degrees".
Roman Pashkov: biography of the musician
A native of Stavropol, Roman was born on September 18. In 2017, he will turn 40 years old. He met the most significant people in his life in his youth. With Ruslan Tagiyev, they studied in parallel classes, having met on the basis of love for rap. For the current wife, Anna Tereshchenko was the first love with which life connected after a long separation.
Diligence in studies did not differ, from childhood he was fond of handball. Together with a sports team, he went to a disco, after which he radically changed his life. He gave up sports and began to learn to play the guitar. I decided to connect my profession with music, having entered the institute at the directing faculty and starting a career on local television. He was a pretty popular music show host. Everything changed when he was expelled from the institute for passes.
Life began in a youth musical get-together, composing own compositions. Roman Pashkov is the author of most hits performed subsequently by the Degrees group. Having become popular at home, Pashkov and Tagirov went to Moscow, each dreaming of a solo career.
Creative way
At first, both had a hard time. Roman had to get a livelihood at a construction site, where he mastered the profession of drywall. Then he traded in cell phones, while simultaneously offering music companies demos of their recordings. But no one was interested in musical material. He played in the teams "Locust", "10 legs." Everything changed when Tagirova’s apartment Roman Pashkov put forward the idea of creating his own pop group. After 15 years of dating, the guys came together and over the course of six months wrote about 15 songs, which later became the hallmark of the new team. They were joined by: guitarists Dmitry Fidel (Bakhtinov) and Arsen Beglyarov, drummer Viktor Golovanov. All of them are from Stavropol.
The first concert was held in May 2008. What was presented to the audience after a difficult rehearsal process “Degrees”? Songs “Director”, “Radio Rain”, “Tramp”, “7:00”. Interestingly, for their performance, the guys had to rent a club, paying their own money. But already in 2009, the AB ABM production center began to cooperate with them, and the composition “Director” falls into the rotation of most radio stations. In 2011, the first album was released, and, it would seem, the guys are at the pinnacle of success. Why, in 2013, fans heard about the completion of the project?
Personal life
Roman Pashkov explains the decision with a desire to build a solo career, which he had dreamed of all his life. There are no conflicts between the frontmen of the group. Moreover, Roman is the godfather of Tagirov’s daughter, Eve.
He himself connected his life with fellow countrywoman Anna Tereshchenko. When the boys left for Moscow, Anna was 17. Parents insisted that the girl stay in Stavropol and get an education. She became a stylist, moved to New York and even got married.
After 10 years, former lovers crossed on the Web to understand: parting was a mistake. After meeting in Moscow, the girl decided to leave the United States. They played a modest wedding, and in August 2015, the son of Daniel appeared in the family.
Being the author of texts and music, Pashkov wrote not only for the group "Degrees". The songs “Don’t be afraid, I’m with you”, “Monday”, “Kissing for a long time” were recorded as part of a solo career. But most music lovers want to hear his works performed by their favorite band. So, the project "Degrees" will still live.
