Friends is a group from Russia, a youth musical production project by actor and composer Alexei Vorobyov.
The emergence of an unusual team
The Friends group began, a photo of which can be easily found in glossy periodicals, in 2013 as a joint project of two friends Alexei Vorobyov and Sergey Romanovich who decided to joke on the topic of contemporary pop music on stage. "Musical banter" - so they called this group, and the official name was "Gop Friend Y".
Alexey Vorobyov was not only a producer, but also a composer, author of texts and arranger of the project. High-quality musical material was the result of his painstaking work. The word "gop" in the name of the group began to look silly and pretentious, not in line with musical aesthetics. Therefore, the first shot of the first clip belongs to a group called Friends.
Group, composition and members
Since its inception, the project has not had a permanent composition. Different vocalists took part in the recording of the first songs.
At the end of 2013, the project began to undergo changes. Sergei Romanovich could not fully engage in it and resigned as producer. Alexei began to take his project more seriously and, in collaboration with the center of Yana Rudkovskaya, found soloists for the renewed group - Nastya Dvoryanskaya and Pasha Koroleva. Alexei began to call the soloists of the group jokingly “my beloved kindergarten,” because Nastya was 13 at that time, and Pasha was 16 years old. By January 2014, the guys had recorded five new club-style songs: “She and I and YEAH”, “Samba”, “Scoundrel is all to face.” The production project was a great success at the concert venues in Moscow.
In the video “I'll Always Be With You”, released in the spring of 2014, new soloists and their producer starred.
The departure of Pavel Korolyov
But in 2015, Pasha had to take final exams, and he left the Friends. Alexey Vorobyov using “Love Radio” and “Music of the First” casting. He listens to more than two hundred or even three hundred gifted children. And in February, on his page on the social network, a message appears about the new composition. Now there are three performers in the musical collective: Maxim Matsyshin, Roman Larin and Nastya Dvoryanskaya.

In the fall of 2015, Alexei Vorobyov staged a premiere screening of the new video, “Best Friend's Girl”. The performers have just returned from Los Angeles, where they filmed two more clips. At the moment, the studio is working on the album of the group. The members of "Friends" allow fans to watch rehearsals in real time, broadcasting them on one of the social networks. I must say that many fans of this musical group were happy with this decision.
The team of musicians do not have many songs, but most of them are known and recognizable. The popularity of Vorobyov’s works was brought by the humorous series of the TNT channel “Deffchonki”. All soundtracks for this sitcom recorded "Friends." The group, whose members are still working hard on their next album, is gaining more and more popularity. Their musical works are broadcast not only on radio stations, but already on television. More and more often young children are invited to various parties and concerts. Therefore, this musical group has a great future ahead.
