Success, of course, is desirable, but not standing at the head of the corner. According to the singer, Russia - the country is not materialistic, but strong primarily in spirit.Compound
On the Internet wandering the story about what a significant role in the biography of Masha and Bears, the soloist "Megapolis" Oleg Nesterov played. According to this narrative, during his Krasnodar touring Mary, who has long been writing music and having experienced club speeches, managed to transfer his demos to Oleg.
The musician rated the work of the young singer and suggested the services of producer. In order not to miss good luck, Masha quickly collects a group and moves into the capital.
After 20 years, remembering such luck, Masha said that as such producers in the underground, unlike pop music, no. Those who are knocked out of the total mass, it is easier to appease in the network, and, if this is a standing thing, people will know about it.
With a light hand of Nesterov on the radio "Maximum" songs "Without you", "Reykjavik" and an unforgettable "Loicker". And at 18 years old Makarov woke up famous.

In 2000, barely releasing the release of the album "Where?" With the compositions "Spring", "GarPuner", "Earth", the group broke up. The reasons for the conflict of musicians spoke differently, even the interviews of the soloist on this subject differ. It was said that "to leave at the peak of possibilities is a special adrenaline."
Part of the critics believed that Maria "confused, understood that he did not belong to himself, but did not want to put up with it." Makarova and then, and after reunion did not refuse words that it is not going to play according to the rules that do not like, and will "rock, let the small but their own swings." The men's part of the team invited Olga Dzusov in its ranks, who stood on the back-vocal of Linda, but the experiment failed.
