Biography
Konstantin Nikolsky is a talented Russian singer, who is often called the "symbol of the era" and the "pioneer of the domestic rock". And indeed, the songs "My friend, the artist and the poet", as well as "I myself am from those", "My Birds" and "Night Bird" became hardly folks - their text remembers even those who are not a fan of rock -cultures. For a long artistic biography, Konstantin Nikolsky won the love of thousands of fans and took part in good ten musical projects.Childhood and youth
The future musician was born in Moscow on February 1, 1951. Since childhood, Konstantin attracted music, and already at the age of 12, the father helped the boy to choose the first guitar. So Nikolsky began to master chords and intersect.
By 15 years, Konstantin was already well played and even joined the rock team as a rhythm guitarist. This teenage group, who worn the loud name "Crusaders", mastered the musical craft, performing the compositions of popular at the time "Beatles" and Rolling Stones.
Soon the "Crusaders" changed the name, becoming "Atlants" (the fact is that all the participants of the group were like a selection of high growth). The group performed in local DK, schools and small concert venues.
It is noteworthy that it is the "Atlantam" the Russian stage is obliged to the emergence of the team "Time Machine" created by Andrey Makarevich: The concert of this group inspired him on the basis of his own musical project.
After graduating from school, Konstantin Nikolsky entered the institute, but soon threw his studies and went to give duty to his homeland. Serve in the army, the musician happened in Ukraine. At that time, the most famous singer's song called "Musician" was written (the first name of this song is the "Venetian musician").
Music
Returning from the army, Konstantin Nikolsky continued to speak at the company of old comrades. The group received a new name - the "fragments of the Sikorsky helicopter", and the repertoire of the team was replenished with the most "musician", as well as songs "you wanted to see the world" and "Russia", which Nikolsky also wrote during the service.
After some time, the team once again changes the name, becoming a "happy family", and in 1974 Konstantin Nikolsky leaves the group to join the new musical team - the group of Stas Namina "Flowers". As it often happens with young groups, the team soon collapsed, and Stas Namin began a new project called "Stas Namina Group", which was invited by Nikolsky.
Until 1979, Konstantin Nikolsky changed several more teams, and then founded his own group - "Resurrection". At first, Konstantin helped the musicians Evgeny Margulis, Andrei Sapunov and Sergey Kawagoe.
Soon the "Resurrection" appeared the first record, which includes the "Musician" composition, "Night Bird", "play with me, thunderstorm" and others. Many of the songs from the very first album still loved music lovers.
After some time, the "Resurrection" was broke out: the musicians did not succeed, and there was no incentive. However, Konstantin Nikolsky did not lose faith in his own talent and in 1981 again gathered a group to record the second record. This album was released called "Resurrection - 2". Most of all Melomanians loved the composition "One look back", but in general, this album has not yet gained popularity. The resurrection group collapsed again.
Konstantin Nikolsky until 1986 continued to act sololy, collecting small halls and slowly, but rightly gaining fame and popularity. In 1986, the musician merged with the drummer Vitaly Bondarchuk to record the album. This temporary union was called the "Mirror of the World", but the musicians did not work. And in 1990, Konstantin Nikolsky finally went into solo swimming.
The first solo plate of Nikolsky - "I am delirious off-road ..." - came out in 1992. The next album musician recorded in 1996. This plate has become a collection of already loved hits of Constantine, recorded with a new arrangement.
In 2001, the musician celebrated the 50-year-old anniversary with concerts and the release of the collection "Musician". Three years later, the discography of Nikolsky was replenished with another record, which was called "I only dream of my life." Due to health problems, the next few years the musician rested from recording albums and clips, and in 2007 there was a long-awaited novelty - an album "Illusions".
Creativity Konstantin Nikolsky really can be considered an integral symbol of rock scene of its time.
Personal life
Personal life of Konstantin Nikolsky, as well as a career, was happily. The chief of the musician was the girl named Marina, from which Konstantin met in school. After graduation, Marina and Konstantin Nikolsky did not communicate for many years, and then accidentally met and no longer parted. In 1985, the spouse gave Nikolsky daughter. Girl called Julia.
Yulia Nikolskaya went in the footsteps of the Father: the girl sings talented. And although the profession of Julia is not related to the music (the daughter of Nikolsky at the Institute studied foreign languages), she repeatedly went on stage with a star father.
Konstantin Nikolsky now
In 2017, the musician and producer Sergey Worlds wrote a book about the fate and work of the Sunday group and Konstantin Nikolsky. However, the musician responded to it negatively: the singer was not simply not delighted with such attention, but also spoke sharply against the publication of the book. Therefore, on the pages of the work, the name of the singer is not mentioned. Sergey Worlds replaced him to Abbrevia TCNN (one who can not be called).
Although the musician has not yet pleased the fans with musical innovations, the photo of Konstantin Nikolsky constantly appear on the bills of cities of the country. Even now Nikolsky continues to collect halls and please the fans with solo performances. Who knows, perhaps the rock star is preparing a surprise and will soon announce the release of the new record.
