Biography
The glorious mission is to send listeners to the past (for example, in medieval) through their own musical writings - on the Russian stage, at least two noticeable performers are followed. It is especially nice that this is a fair sex representative - Magic Helavis, together with its "mill" and Chancellor Gi with the Bregan d'ERT team. In the first pseudonym, a Moscow philologist hides, for the second, a journalist from Yekaterinburg.Childhood and youth
Closer to the end of June 1979, in the morning of the 24th, the Yekaterinburg Kotovsky family replenished with a new member - Maya's daughter was born. The music surrounded her from childhood - almost all close relatives had an appropriate formation, and the great-grandmother of the future singer and brightened at the Local Philharmonic Snaps.
So the path to the "melodic" art was predetermined initially, and from an early age in parallel with the secondary school number 10 Girl went to study the secrets of the game on the piano.
Parents later supported the beloved child in creative endeavors: Father Vyacheslav Grigorievich followed the principle "that his daughter was chosen, then and right," and Mom Olga Leonidovna finally gave up after visiting the first concerts, where he saw the full halls and heard the choir of sinking.
As for higher education, Cottovskaya tried to get it twice - on the journalistic and historical faculties of URGA, but it did not work in the system of disappointment in the teaching system.
"It became clear to me that this study was nothing but the opportunity to lay out the nose with the words" journalism - the fourth power, "to give me unable. Therefore, I smelled to journalism and went to Eastfak. I, by the way, did not finish it either. Until the 5th year and found that I was not interested in what we are taught, "explained Maya.Student times in the biography takes several lines - correspondence department, the opportunity to appear in the university only 2 times a year, the first attempts to work in a business journal due to the lack of money in the family. And at the same time - an absolutely friendly course capable of every kind of fiction.
From Yekaterinburg to Moscow, the move happened suddenly. In social networks, Maya met a sports correspondent, in the future became its concert director, and adopted an invitation to move to the capital of Russia.
Music
Trying to write the songs of Maya began in adolescence - immediately at the end of the music school in 1995, and after another 5 years, independently mastered the guitar. At the same time, at the start of the zero, the Kazan Festival submitted, the Tample Memories album was recorded, which he was and hit the "road", and the "Master's" Song ", and" Templary ".As the Solo-performer Chancellor Gi performed for almost 3 years, then the girl's duet was then formed, subsequently expanded to a group of six people "Bragan D'Ert." In 2006, a collection "The only enemy" - romances, ballads and prayers were alone with tracks on the texts of Leonid Filatov, Rudyard Kipling and Nikolai Gumilyov.
After 2 years, "shadow on the wall" was formed, another two told the "terrible fairy tale", which contains the famous "wild hunt". In discography, there are also disks with wondrous names "While the flowers ...", "... already berries" and "those still fungi" (with the fourth "witch" and "polar fox").
In connection with the change of location and the fact that the basic composition of the team was based in Yekaterinburg, in Moscow, he began to accommodate new participants, undergoing noticeable changes in 2009 and 2012. In 2019, the Chancellor team acquired the following type - Roman Martynov, responsible for the drums, Solo-guitarist Danila Zhilyaev and Bassist Alexander Garber. Often gi gives separate acoustic concerts under the accompaniment of its own string instrument.
As for the selected pseudonym, for which a fragile woman hides, he, according to her, "adherence" himself. Even in youth, together with Maja's close friends, I was read by the "damned kings" Maurice Droyon. Someone from the comrades noticed that Kotovskaya is particularly similar to the Chancellor Chancellor (GI) de Nogare. Since then, it happened.
By the way, often the performer holds the male genus of the chancellor, no one shy this:
"Zinaida Hippius, for example, which was quite a woman, constantly writing poems from a male face. And nothing. Kipling wrote poems from female, and also nothing, the normal soldier of the British army. In fact, when you write the text, you still mean not as ourselves, and your lyrical hero. "The genre of the music of the underground singer critics also attribute to folk-rock, and to neo-folk, and art folk, and even compared with minstrels. The Kotovskaya itself has repeatedly explained in an interview that her project plays fusion and art rock. The chancellor clips do not like to shoot, but YouTube is full of copyright rollers on her works. For example, "Hymn of mercenaries" is imposed on anime, and "heather honey" - on frames from the Terminator.
Personal life
In the personal life of the mysterious Maya, everything is in order - along with his beloved husband Evgeny, she, judging by the published photographs on the page in Vkontakte, is not happy. Spouses love to travel together and try the sizes of local cuisine. For example, in 2015, they explored Kemer, in 2018 - Tunisia and Cyprus. Moscow, however, the couple is not attention also does not leave, walking around Kuzminov, Veshnyakov, Park "Charity".
As for the issue of replenishing the family, then in the distant 2013 Cottovskaya stated:
"I do not like children. Of course, this does not mean that I climb on every child with an ax. Even, rather, on the contrary: I communicate perfectly with other people's children. Oddly enough, they are drawn to me. But personally, I do not want to do this whole kitchen. Apparently, God created me for something else. "From the hobby, a woman prefers karate on a non-professional level, painting, although there is practically no time for her, and reading books. Plus loves to ride horses and generally relates to animals. It is known that once she held at home and tried to bring up rats, cats and Rosita Crow.
Chancellor gi now
In 2019, Maya and her team never ceases to delight the numerous army of loyal fans with personal meetings. For example, in May, I was looking forward to St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Volgograd, Samara and Saratov. June 28, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the singer, a concert in Moscow took place.Also not far from Cottovskaya and theatrical action. In February of the same year, she reincarnated in the first wader of absolute evil in the performance based on the work of the beloved writer John Tolkina.
