In the early 90s, the concept of boyband, or “boy band,” appeared in the western show business. Westlife, N'Sync and Backstreet Boys were a resounding success, and the army of their fans grew every day.
The main audience was girls of adolescence, who fell in love with attractive young men, went to their concerts and were ready to pay any money for the opportunity to get closer to the stars.
Boy band conquers Russia
On the Russian stage, Bari Alibasov became the first producer to create a boy band. In 1992, the “golden” composition of Na-Na was formed, the participants of which will achieve unprecedented heights in the music industry.
In 1995, Igor Matvienko gathered his first “boy” group. “Ivanushki International” are still performing, but the current schoolgirls are much more interested in their peers, so there can be no talk of past glory.
Konstantin Meladze Project
The talented composer Konstantin Meladze is a real “shark” of show business. One of the most successful projects of the Ukrainian producer is “VIA GRA”. The creativity of this group was especially interesting for the stronger sex. There are three incredibly attractive girls, a minimum of clothes and a maximum of liberated dances - that’s the whole secret of success.
Gradually, the vocal ensemble broke up, the soloists began their own careers, and Konstantin Shotaevich launched the musical reality “I Want to Meladze”, where he recruited new performers for the “reset” of the group “VIA GRA”.
The success of the show was deafening, so Meladze decided to make the second season. This time, talented young men were invited as applicants - this is how the M-Band group appeared. It is worth noting that all the lucky ones, as for selection, have unusual surnames.
Anatoly Tsoi
Meladze included Anatoly Tsoi in the “M-Band”. A 25-year-old resident of Almaty came to the casting with Kirill Andreev, a member of Ivanushek International. However, star support was not so necessary for the young man. Thanks to his vocal talent, Choi has been earning since 14 years. Corporate parties, restaurants and the “Superstar KZ” show - Anatoly already has solid experience in performing, so he’s busy schedule of tours will not cause inconvenience.
Before becoming a member of “M-Band”, the composition of which surprised all spectators, a musician from Kazakhstan also submitted applications for the “Artist” and “Voice” projects. Anatoly Tsoy everywhere passed the preliminary selection, but the closest to him was the work of Konstantin Meladze.
Artyom Pindyura
The new team included guys from different countries. But who represents the native Ukraine for the producer in “M-Band”? The composition, the photo of which can be seen in this article, is quite diverse, but its participants are united by talent, a desire to succeed and, of course, an attractive appearance. Handsome Artem Pindyura won more than one female heart. At the casting, a young man from Kiev read rap and tore deafening applause. The judges also could not resist. But Timati turned out to be closest to Pindyur, who invited him to his team.
In some media reports appeared about the wife of Artem, and the disappointment of the fans knew no bounds. But everything cleared up pretty quickly. It turns out that the rapper was married, but now his heart is free. Yes, and a serious relationship is very contrary to the politics of the boy band. And we continue to study “M-Band”, the biography of other members of the group is no less interesting.
Nikita Kyosse
The youngest ward of Konstantin Meladze was Nikita Kiosse. However, the M-Band group is definitely not the first step for the 16-year-old musician from Ryazan. The young man has already managed to perform on children's versions of Eurovision and the New Wave, and also took part in the Ukrainian show “Voice. Children".
Nikita immediately reminded the judges and spectators of one Western performer - Justin Bieber, whose popularity can now only be envied. The M-Band group, the composition of which was formed thanks to Sergey Lazarev, became a lucky ticket for Kyosse. The young musician could not even dream of such a talented mentor.
Nikita's unique abilities are confirmed by another fact: before the casting, the young man entered the theater school with Oleg Tabakov. However, the artist preferred the music industry to a career in theater and cinema. We hope that in the M-Band team the biography of Nikita Kiosse will continue to develop as well. As for his personal life, the young man is now free, but all thoughts are busy with work.
Vladislav Ramm
The last group “M-Band”, the composition of which is considered in this article, joined Vladislav Ramm. 18-year-old Kemerovo from childhood dreamed of a singer's career. He graduated from music school and studied vocals. The young musician even worked in several groups, but long-term cooperation did not work out. Ramm also did not succeed in starting a solo performance, and then he realized that just talent and appearance were not enough.
Modern society needs a sensation, for example, “I Want to Meladze” in the first season could boast of high ratings. This means that the second launch of the project can be even more successful, and its participants will become real stars. Well, you won’t deny wisdom to Wladyslaw Ramm. The young man even foresaw his participation in the casting. The story of the 18-year-old musician about his wife Veronica and the child, which he told at the very beginning of the show, turned out to be a fiction.
But to further increase interest in his own person, a member of the M-Band group, whose composition he successfully supplemented, continued to supply the yellow press with details of his personal life. At the end of the project, Ramm said that he was meeting with one of the dancers and asking his wife for a divorce. It immediately became clear that Nika was pregnant, and the “soap opera” was again unfolded in front of the audience and the judges. It is not known who Vladislav Ramm made worse, because the opinion of fans after his ugly act has changed a lot.
Today, the second song of the group “She Will Return” can be heard on many radio stations. Speaking about the prospects of the new team, Konstantin Meladze assured that the “M-Band” will surpass the legendary Backstreet Boys.
Indeed, cooperation with such a renowned producer is already 50% success, but the rest depends on the musicians themselves. We have no doubt that after the tour, young people will become real stars of show business, and thousands of girls will continue to suffer from unrequited love.
