The first steps to triumph

The famous artist was born in Russia in the city of Balashikha. His father was a military man, and when the future favorite of the people turned 2 years old, he and his family moved to East Germany. Despite the fact that Baskov's parents could not boast of a musical education, at the age of 5 Nikolai began to acquire his first vocal skills. His mother, Elena Nikolaevna, as a teacher of mathematics, helped her son learn musical notation every day . In the second grade in the city of Kyzyl, the future singer was able to enter a music school.
Few people know how Nikolay Baskov began his musical journey, how many years it took him to reach the heights.
The future favorite of the people gained his first stage experience back in the second grade, when he went on stage to read a verse. But, as the tenor himself admits, the performance was unsuccessful.
In the seventh grade, Nikolai went to the Novosibirsk school and began to seriously engage in stage activities. He joined the troupe of the Musical Theater and has already toured to Israel, France and the USA. But only in 2009, the singer received the universal love of people and the well-deserved title of People's Artist of Russia.
