The generation that grew up in the 90s undoubtedly remembers the famous, positive, popular music group Hands Up, which lit the dance floors and hearts of the audience. Her soloist, inspirer and just a nice guy - Sergey Zhukov. He became an idol for millions of fans who did not cherish souls in his songs. Few people know such a person as Mikhail Zhukov. But this guy is also a musician. But for a long time he remained in the shadow of his brother, although no less talented.
Biography of Mikhail Zhukov
Michael was born on May 23, 1983. He is 32 years old. Place of birth - Ulyanovsk region. Parents - Eugene and Lilia Zhukov. Brother - Sergey (7 years older). It is known that at school Misha performed better than his star brother, who was not particularly interested in studying because of music. In Dimitrovgrad school Misha was loved. He graduated from the same city multidisciplinary lyceum. He went in for sports, especially fond of football. And nowadays, in his free hours, he plays on the field. Favorite football team - Spartak (Moscow). Mikhail listens to different music: both rap and chanson - hits of the last century, and foreign melodies. The younger Zhukov spends his free time actively, in the company of friends (what is there to hide, Misha likes to walk well). Social life attracts him. Mikhail himself was never seen by the press in a bad mood or in some unacceptable and scandalous situations. The guy has a good sense of humor and a stock of incredible kindness. Zhukov also loves fishing. He is fond of playing the guitar. Currently lives in Moscow.
Personal life
Mikhail Zhukov, whose biography is not fully disclosed, does not particularly advertise his personal life. According to reliable sources, our hero was not married. Given the incredible number of fans, photos with which the singer sometimes uploads to social networks, you can understand that the singer has no lack of attention. Despite his already fairly mature age (32 years), the musician never got his own family. But with his nephews (son and daughter of Sergei), Misha loves spending time, pampering them and playing with them. The artist does not have a second half at the moment.
The beginning of a musical career
Mikhail Zhukov realized that he wanted to be creative, not so long ago. He participated in many musical projects, sometimes even himself was their initiator. So, we can mention a group called "Dobre". The project was created in conjunction with Denis Dotsenko. The performers themselves expressly declare that in this format they do not pretend to anything and their music is created for a narrow circle of listening. This work combines rap performed by Denis Dotsenko and pop vocals from Mikhail Zhukov himself. Recorded compositions such as "Concierge", "King of the era", "Cry". Many listeners celebrate the songs “Summer”, “The bed is not made up”, “Only you”. Together with the RP group “Dobre” they recorded the song “Real Boys”. The team already has fans. The guys do not plan to release the album. And if ever this happens, then Zhukov promised to release a small circulation only for his friends. So far, the Dobre repertoire does not have enough songs for the album. Fans often asked questions about re-singing the popular songs of Sergey's group. The participants (Mikhail Zhukov and Denis Dotsenko) are categorically against such PR, as they believe that it is better to create something new than copy someone.
Popularity
During the existence of the group "Dobre" Michael never received much popularity. These songs were listened to by a small circle of fans. Due to the bright glory of his brother Sergey, Mikhail always remained in the shadows. Little was known about him. Despite the fact that Sergei never covered his brother in the press, generally in public. Mikhail Zhukov is a great singer. But no one knew about this before. Michael actively developed his musical abilities, was engaged in creativity. And so, when the group began to sound less and less, Sergey began to move away from this project, took up broadcasting, his solo career.
It was decided on a joint project with his brother. It is not known whether this was a deliberate move for the sake of renewed popularity or whether this impulse has only creative motives. Nevertheless, when resonant statements about this event began to appear on the Internet and in other mass media, many music lovers turned their eyes to Mikhail. So, the peak of activity fell in 2013-2014 (continues to this day). Michael writes down his songs, performs in major cities of Russia. He has a lot of fans. The outward resemblance to his brother, the repertoire, and the lyricism of the songs interested not only fans of “Hands Up”, but also new people who are true fans of our hero’s work.
The repertoire of Mikhail Zhukov
As mentioned above, the artist has many songs developed in the project "Good". In addition, Mikhail sometimes records collaborative tracks with young artists and bands. In particular, this includes: “Girl Luba” together with the Opium Project, the song “1000 years” with “The One Brotherhood”. There are solo works, for example, “Girl”. Songs performed by Mikhail Zhukov are mostly lyrical in nature. Music Style - Pop. Many new fans asked Michael to write more fun, dance songs. Our hero promised that there would be such, and moreover. The repertoire of songs recorded with his brother also fits the criteria described.
Singer's concerts
Mikhail is touring in many cities of the Russian Federation. This includes Tver, and Voronezh, and Samara, and Kazan, and Chelyabinsk, and many other places. Constant flights and relocations, according to the artist, do not tire him. The singer actively spends his time outside the stage. Mikhail Zhukov sings songs so energetically and with feeling that the halls simply burst from applause. The ranks of fans are replenished. The halls are assembled almost full. Zhukov goes to concerts with his brother, they perform together in a joint project, which will be discussed later.
Co-creation
In 2014, a new project was announced - “The Zhukov Brothers”. Few people know that several of Sergey’s songs were written with a light hand of Mikhail, so it was easy for him to adapt to the format of the legendary group. It has been preserved in the framework of a joint new project. The premiere song of the musicians was "You are my sea." A clip for her was shot on one of the islands of Thailand. The Zhukov brothers appeared in unusual images that the history of the song demanded : they were pretty pilots of civil aviation. The story of the song is about how the influential, rich father of the lover of a simple pilot was against their feelings. In order to prevent this, he hid his daughter on a distant island.
In general, this project was repeatedly criticized by music gurus and was regarded as a desperate PR move by Sergey Zhukov. The voice of Aleksey Potekhin and our hero was strictly compared, saying that, in principle, nothing had changed much, there was no novelty. Nevertheless, Sergey and Mikhail Zhukovs loudly declared themselves, and the assessments of musical judges have little role to play. The joint record has the name "Fall asleep."
The modern way of a musician
Currently, Mikhail is still absorbed in the joint project “The Zhukov Brothers”. The guys are actively touring the expanses of the country and gathering full halls. In addition to a musical career, the brothers went into the restaurant business. As you know, in Chelyabinsk, Moscow and other cities was opened a network of bars "Hands up." Institutions are a huge success. Mikhail Zhukov was at every opening of the bars.
