Childhood and youth of the future rap star

The beautiful, clean Russian town of Krymsk - the boy Matvey was born there. Work in Krymsk was unimportant, and the parents decided to move to Krasnodar.

As soon as the family moved to the capital of the region, mother Elena and father Alexander decided to send their five-year-old son to dance. He went to ballroom, folk, even Latin American. At that time it was already “thundering” across the country dance studio Thousands of parents dreamed of sending their children to Todes, which was led by Alla Dukhova, and Matvey was lucky - at the age of 10 he began to attend the Krasnodar branch.

It was Matvey’s father and mother from childhood, no matter how trite it may sound, who instilled in him the desire to be the first in everything: studies - only excellent, dancing - with all seriousness, sports - a must. Of course, the boy was not an “ideal robot”: he sometimes misbehaved over little things, went for long walks with friends, but he always studied and studied well in the studio.

The transition to 10th grade for Matvey was significant in that his family moved to Moscow. It was then that he became passionate about rap and hip-hop and began (for himself for now) to write his first lyrics. The musician admitted that the singles “Caste” and “Cunninlinguists” had a huge influence on him - American group, performing in the “underground hip-hop” style. Deep meaning songs of both groups, words about the difficulties of life and how to overcome them, high-quality music - this is what shaped Matvey’s style, and his first compositions were lyrics specifically based on the music of these groups.

Gold medal for graduating from school and entering the Faculty of Economics at Moscow State University - this was in 2007. But a year earlier, the young man had already recorded his first tracks at the GLSS Records studio. True, at that time he did not plan to devote his life to hip-hop, but treated it as a hobby.

The beginning of a successful music career

2009, participation in “Battle for Respect 2” - at the age of 19, Matvey Melnikov under the nickname BthaMoT2bdabot bursts like a comet (there’s no other way to say it!) into the world of rap. The first project on Russian TV, dedicated to hip-hop, made high demands on the battle participants, and a place in the “TOP 40” was a huge achievement for Matvey. During the auditions, Andrei Menshikov, known as Legalize, drew attention to the guy’s bright and unconventional singing style and advised him to change his unpronounceable pseudonym to something shorter but sonorous. Then BthaMoT2bdabot simply turned into Mota.

2011 - Mot takes part in the hip-hop summit in Luzhniki; the concert had an international status, such stars of the genre as Onyx and Raekwon performed there. At the same time, the artist actively sang in clubs and recorded his first album, called “Remote”. Tracks in the relax style immediately won the hearts of Mot’s first fans: a short, handsome and soulfully singing guy with his songs touched the innermost strings of their souls.

Beginning of 2012 - Mot’s second major album, entitled “Repair,” is released. The following were featured in the creation of the collection: pop singer Katya Nova, RnB singer Ilya Kireev, Levan Gorozia (L’One). And in the fall, Matvey shoots a video for one of the singles from the collection (“To the Shores”), and not just anywhere, but in his hometown of Krymsk. The presentation took place on October 5, a week later - more than 100,000 views and the same number of likes on YouTube, and the words from the song: “Mom asked: Matvey, be a man” - were in the top tags on Instagram and other social networks. networks. The clip was included in the top five best Russian videos of 2012.

Matvey created both the first and second albums under the “Soul Kitchen” label, and even then he had the idea to devote himself entirely to music. The turning point was the invitation he received in 2013 from Timati: he convinced Mota that the musical future was more promising than a career as an economist. Cooperation with Timati and the Black company Star Inc. began with the creation of the album “Devil”, then the video “In a Red Dress” was born, which immediately became a hit.

Consolidating success, new albums, performances

Timati did not regret inviting Mot to join him: the singer released the disc “Azbuka Morze” in 2014 (besides Timati, Mot already helped in the creation of the album old friend L’One), a little later the master of rap invites Matvey to star in the film “Capsule”.

2104 - fans saw the work of the rapper “Mom I’m in Dubai”, and in 2015 he shot the video “Day and Night”, in which the famous married couple Olga Buzova and Dmitry Tarasov took part.

Success only spurred the musician to create new hits: in 2015, the album “Absolutely Everything” appeared. The collection includes not only Mota’s solo albums - he sings together with Bianca, in next year they are filming a sensational video under this name.

In 2016, Matvey released two albums at once that attracted the attention of fans: “Inside Out” and “92 Days.” During this year, he still managed to shoot a dozen videos for his songs, the most memorable of which received almost 11 million views collaboration Mota and Artem Pivovarov “Monsoons”, and the video “Trap” was watched on YouTube more than 70 million times.

In addition to releasing new collections and videos, the artist constantly tours. For each of his performances, tickets are sold in full and in advance, and the “live” recording that appears online immediately gains great amount views, for example, a concert in Vladivostok in May 2016 already had more than 70 thousand views the next day.

The 2017 collection “Good Music of the Keys” presented the musician’s fans with a pleasant surprise- sad and tender songs with piano accompaniment, a lot of lyrics, a different style, but it was received by fans with no less enthusiasm.

In February 2018, Mota’s video “Cards, Money, Two Plates” was released, and again a surprise: a new sharp, even a little rude style. Despite some shock that viewers experienced and varied comments, the video quickly gained more than a million views.

On March 28, 2018, the artist plans to give a big concert in the Park of Legends, at the VTB Ice Palace in Moscow. What will the performer surprise this time: will he perform his good old lyrical rap, will he go on stage in tandem with his “comrade in arms” Artem Pivovarov, will he sing something new?

Mota's family life, interesting facts about him

Now he probably remembers this with laughter, but as an aspiring rapper, he hid this fact even from close friends: who would have thought that the brutal Mot in his youth was a fan of... Britney Spears? He also had one secret “musical” passion - the Spice Girls, and he once said in an interview that he seriously dreamed of marrying a member of the group. Maybe this dream saved him from the obsessive attention of fans, so that he would be free to meet his true love?

Matvey saw his future wife for the first time on Instagram, and immediately rushed to attack. “He liked me incessantly, up and down, we immediately began to correspond, and when I arrived in Moscow to see my friend, the issue of the first date had already been decided,” Maria Gural later admitted. Then the girl went back to Kyiv, where she graduated from the university, but daily correspondence and declarations of love did not stop. Then - Moscow, already thoughts about serious relationship, travel for the Old New Year to Thailand. Mot would not have been Mot if he had asked Maria to marry him in a banal way: he proposed to the bride in the ocean, surfacing with a ring in his hand!

The couple entered into an official marriage in August 2016; a year later they got married and had a magnificent wedding. Instagram, which became true friend in the meeting of two loving hearts, he was the first to notify Matvey’s fans about the birth of his son on January 22, 2018. On the same day, visitors to the resource saw black and white photos of happy parents holding baby Solomon in their arms—that’s what Matvey decided to name his son. By the way, the couple did not particularly advertise the expectation of their first child: only in October 2017, in her husband’s video “When the Word Disappears,” Maria appeared “obviously” pregnant, and the inconsolable girls-fans of Mota, hiding their handkerchiefs wet from tears, abandoned all hope of conquering idol.

A little more interesting about Matvey:

• commercial spirit appeared in him in early childhood: when the boy was 6 years old, he earned his first money by arranging tennis tables in the park and selling balls;
• Russian by nationality, he has Greek roots through his grandfather;
• he never received bad grades, neither at school nor at Moscow State University: I retook economics for the only time;
• in “Todes” he was the smallest in stature, but was considered very promising;
• he was not just a Spice Girls fan, but knew all their songs by heart;
• Mot does not sing “social rap”. According to him, “the singer’s goal is to make people happy, and not to drag life’s problems to the top of the iceberg”;
• He calls the single “Trap” “a T-shirt of the soul that everyone can try on, and that’s worth a lot.” At one of the concerts, a football player from the Azerbaijani national team approached the singer and admitted that this song saved him from divorce.

Mota's childhood and school years

At the age of 5, Matvey began to study ballroom and then folk dancing. At the age of 10, he became a member of Alla Dukhova’s Krasnodar studio “Todes”, which at that time seemed to his parents a considerable achievement.

Despite this, Matvey was not an exemplary and diligent child. As a child, he often disappeared from home for several days. Loved spending time with friends. He devoted a lot of time to sports.

At the age of 15, Matvey Melnikov moved to Moscow, where his passion for hip-hop began. During dance classes, Matvey felt an irresistible desire not only to move to the rhythm of the music, but also to put his own recitative on top of this music. This is how his career as a rap artist began.

Mota's student years

At first, Mot wrote lyrics solely for his own pleasure. Over time, the talented guy had a desire to record something more serious, not on a tape recorder, but in professional studio. This happened in 2006. The collaboration with the GLSS recording studio ended with Mot becoming its official artist.

Mota's career

2 years later, he performed brilliantly at the First International Hip-Hop Summit. The event, held at Luzhniki, was attended by celebrities such as Raekwon and Onyx.

At the same time, his first album in the relaxation style was recorded, produced by lvsngh and Mikkey Vall. The album “Remote” consisted of 12 tracks, for one of which the video “Millions of Stars” was soon shot. He took part in the recording of one of the songs on the album (“Cats and Mouse”) famous musician Ilya Kireev.

The tracks of the album “Remote” were as harmonious and calm as possible. Mot sought to “hook” his fans with light, soulful lyrics. After the release of the album, the rap artist gained many fans.

Mot and Bianca - Absolutely Everything (Track premiere)

At the beginning of 2012, the artist recorded his second album under the original title “Repair”. It consisted of 11 tracks, in the creation of which Ilya Kireev, L’One, Katya Nova, LIYA took part.

The video for one of the album's songs (“To the Shores”) was filmed in hometown Matvey Melnikov. After the presentation on October 5, 2012, the clip took one of the leading positions among Russian clips of this year, according to a survey conducted on one of the popular sites. The track “To the Shores” can be heard in documentary film « Fair game: hitchhiking.”

Mota's personal life

Now Mota has a huge number of fans. Some even watch the guy at the entrance, which Matvey tries to treat with maximum understanding. The guy believes that a crowd of fans is just a cost of the profession.

Mot today

Every person on the planet knows how many days there are in a year. Only small children are not familiar with this information. A normal year consists of 365 days Gregorian calendar. It was introduced in the 16th century. Since then, the entire Catholic world obeyed him, and over time he was accepted in Russia. In a leap year there is 1 more day - 366.

Methodologists, accountants, businessmen and managers, schoolchildren and students are interested in the number of weeks in a year. This knowledge makes it possible to draw up study plans and plan work on a project or study.

How many weeks are there in a year?

To find out the exact quantity, you need to decide on the calendar you are interested in. There are 3 types of calendars that are most often found in the world:

• Gregorian
• Islamic
• Jewish

A normal year consists of 365 days, a week of 7 days. If you divide the total by 7, you get 52,142. This means that the calendar year contains 52 full weeks and 1 more day. This option is only relevant if the calendar period begins on Monday. In any other case there will be 51 full weeks and 2 incomplete. There will be the same number of weeks in a leap year.

The Islamic calendar can be found in many Muslim countries. There it is officially approved and is used to calculate the dates of religious holidays. The number of days in it is less than in the Gregorian - 354. Dividing this number by 7, we get 50 weeks and 4 days. Again, this statement will only be true if the beginning of the year falls on the first day of the week - Monday. In other cases - 49 weeks and 2 incomplete.

It is much more interesting to understand the Jewish calendar. It calculates days and years according to a completely different principle. Time calculation in it is divided into cycles of 19 years: 12 of them are “simple” and 7 are leap years. At the same time, “simple” years are 30 days shorter than leap years. “Simple” and leap years, in turn, are divided into 3 groups:

• correct,
• sufficient,
• insufficient.

In this case, a “simple” regular year lasts 354 days, a sufficient one lasts 355 days, and an insufficient year lasts 353. A leap year, respectively, lasts 384 (correct), 385 (sufficient) and 383 (insufficient) days.

After simple calculations, it is clear that according to the Jewish calendar, the duration of a “simple” year is 50 full weeks and 1 incomplete. A leap year consists of 54 full weeks and 1 incomplete week.

How many school weeks are there in a year?

This question is relevant for everyone who studies at school or college, as well as for methodologists and teachers. Based on this information, they draw up study plans, write textbooks, plan tests and sessions.

There is simply no single correct answer to this question. Each educational institution regulates the training period independently. The length of the school year largely depends on the age of the students. Junior schoolchildren spend the fewest days at school during the academic year, students have a higher workload.

To get approximate data, you first need to calculate how long summer lasts. 3 summer months are 92 days. 92 divided by 7 equals 13 weeks and 1 day. Subtract 13 from 52 and get 39 weeks. This is the length of the year excluding summer. We must not forget that there are school holidays in spring, autumn and winter. Each of them lasts on average 1 week. 39-3=36 weeks.

It is important to remember that throughout the year there are public holidays on which official days off are established. These include:

• January 1 - New Year;
• February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• January 7 - Christmas;
• March 8 - International Women's Day;
• May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 - Victory Day.

Quantity holidays may vary by state. The only important thing is that they are all considered non-working. Children do not study on holidays.

There are also additional holidays and quarantines in the event of a flu epidemic. Thus we conclude that in academic year 34–36 weeks. For example, the year 2016–2017 consists of 34.

Students have much less time to relax. They are provided with vacations between sessions - 2 weeks, as well as 1.5 months in the summer. That works out to about 8 weeks a year. The remaining 44 have to attend university.

How many working weeks are there in a year?

Calculating how much you will have to work during the year is a little easier. Adults do not go on vacation, but they are entitled to vacation. Its duration depends on working conditions, health status and position held. On average it is 4 weeks. Let's subtract them from total number weeks a year. It turns out 48. 7 days of New Year and Christmas weekend are subtracted from this number. The result is 47.

For greater accuracy, you can also remove 7 days for public holidays. It turns out that the average person has 46 working weeks per year. It is important to understand that these are approximate estimates, since holidays periodically coincide with weekends. During leap years this number will not change.

How many weeks are there in 5 and 10 years?

If we consider 2017 as the starting point, then 5 years will cover 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Moreover, 2020 is a leap year, which means it has 366 days. To calculate the number of weeks in 5 years, 365, multiply by 4 and add 366. We get 1826 days. Divide this number by 7 - 260.857. That is, in 5 years, one of which is a leap year, there are 260 full weeks and 6 days. If the selected five includes 2 leap years, then the number of weeks is 261.

Similar calculations are made with the decade. We multiply 365 by 7 and add 366 multiplied by 3. We get 3653. Divide the result by 7. The result is 521 full weeks and 6 days.

By simple calculations we find that on average a person lives 3392 weeks in his life. Of these, he devotes 575 weeks to study and 1645 to work. This means there are only 1172 weeks left for rest, which is less than a third of your life.
