More recently, at the peak of youth fashion, there was an emo movement. Hundreds of boys and girls grew long bangs, exchanged the entire wardrobe for pink-black things and completely immersed in this subculture. It is also justified that in that period informal groups began to appear, creating the appropriate music and falling under this style. Perhaps the most popular and successful of the new teams of that period can be considered the group "China".
Team biography
The history of the group can be traced back to about 2007, and by 2012 it had ceased to exist. The team of 4 musicians received the final design just in the year of creation, and after that they began to refer to themselves as the “China” group. Their biography is not replete with frequent changes in the composition, the departure of soloists or musicians. Perhaps the reason for this is that they did not exist for a very long time. The participants themselves believe that the "China" group was so stable, because like-minded people with similar tastes and concepts in music were selected in it. In addition, the leadership of an experienced producer was noted, which did not allow disagreements and quarrels to appear inside the group. The only change was the departure of the original drummer, but it happened at a very early stage of development. This replacement of the participant contributed to the fact that the "China" group gained its popularity.
Soloist of the team
The guitarist and simultaneously responsible for the vocals in the group was Grisha Rainbow. If you rely on his story about his life, then we can conclude that it is versatile in his hobbies and, like many creative people, completely does not tolerate control from those around him. The lead singer of the China group was originally engaged in martial arts, in which he achieved considerable success. Music entered his life only after 14 years. Then he entered a music school and chose this activity for himself as the main one. Having devoted a lot of time to creativity, he paid little attention to study and communication with people around him. Perhaps because of this, he said, he had frequent conflicts within the school. The Gothic style and the romance of the gloom so captivated the soloist that he literally completely sought to comply with all the canons of the trend.
Other participants
In addition to the lead singer, the "China" group consists of three more people - two guitarists and a drummer. Each of them himself spoke about his life and about his appearance in the ensemble. For example, Pasha Skills - (guitarist) was included at the invitation of the soloist. Prior to that, his musical career was not very successful. The guy tried himself in another group, but she broke up very quickly and had almost no success. Another member is Sonya Fink, the only girl and also a bass player. She, in her own interview, was a completely domestic girl in her childhood, who was fond of dancing, music and embroidery. Her life changed her acquaintance with Grisha, after which their strong friendship began. The dream of creating a team has always fascinated friends. As a result, the "China" group appeared. The composition of the group would be incomplete without drummer Sergey Jus. The guy appeared the last of the guys, and he became the anchoring link in the team.
Band music
The style that suits the work of this collective can be called punk rock. Elements of the emo culture had a strong influence both on the sound and on the lyrics of the songs themselves. It was the coincidence of the style of the collective and the desires of youth in that period that caused the success that his music received. The “China” group performs songs not only in Russian, it also has English texts or individual elements in the compositions. Sometimes her work is equated with the Tokio Hotel group, calling it a more simplified Russian version. However, differences can still be found, and the images of the guys are not completely copied.
Producer
The biggest success that young performers can count on is to get to the famous producer who can provide them with promotion and fame. In the case of the “China” group, they were lucky after meeting Maxim Fadeev. This is one of the most successful producers in Russia, from whose hands a very large number of stars appeared on the domestic stage. Glucose, the Silver group and many other groups and singers owe him popularity. With the group "China" Fadeev also acted as a director of clips, for which she later received various nominations.
Team Achievements
Throughout the history of the existence of their group, the guys managed to release four videos, which received wide fame and love of the audience. Already in 2009, according to one of the well-known magazines, the China team became a shock of the year, that is, a group that literally became instantly popular after its appearance. Nevertheless, the most important song will always be the song "After the Rain." It was she who brought the children the “Best Song of the Year 2010” award and made them idols of informal youth. This song can be heard in the screensavers for some series.
The band’s next video, entitled Autumn, was able to get second place in the nomination for the best video in 2010. After such wide popularity, the team in question began touring the cities of Russia, gathering numerous fans. Despite the fact that the peak of popularity has already passed, the group still has a whole army of fans. Her songs today sound on the air. It is worth noting that the work of the team is liked not only by young people. Among all ages, there are people who like the compositions of this once very popular band.
