Sergey Trofimov nationality. Biography of Sergei Trofimov, personal life, creativity

Falling from a height

Eternal saviors of the people.

From such obsessive freedom.

They say you are God's bride...

There is no place for your dear one..."

God, what a nonsense...

“I was born in 1966, in a maternity hospital on Proletarka. He spent his childhood on Samotek, where he lived with his mother,” Sergei Trofimov floats on the wave of memory, “...Mom was the chief bibliographer of the Institute scientific information By social sciences, and dad, Vyacheslav Vladimirovich, worked at the Khrunichev plant. Mom and grandmother dedicated their lives librarianship. And my two great-grandmothers tsarist times They even received an education at the Institute for Noble Maidens.

Gravity flow then was not the same as it is now. It was terribly interesting to live in Moscow at that time; the old courtyards in which we boys played football and “Cossack robbers”, sang with a guitar, and fell in love were still preserved.

Our area was amazing. I lived on Second Volkonsky Lane, from which you could run across the rooftops all the way to the museum Soviet army. You could walk an entire block by jumping from roof to roof. It was ours favorite hobby. We lived on the roofs, like the Carlsons. And they fought, and they made peace, and they played. It was a golden time. And I really was in love with all the girls at once.

When I turned five, we came to kindergarten Some aunts and uncles came and arranged an audition for the children. That’s how I ended up in the choir chapel. From half past eight to two - general education subjects, and then until the evening - music. At the age of six I was accepted into the first grade of the same school.”

Trofimov, as usual, is modest, simply stating the fact of admission to a well-known Soviet Union school. It was almost impossible for a random person to get there, experienced teachers It was not enough to have absolute hearing; they tried to discern more in the child - a craving for the harmony of the world, talent.

Music lived in Sergei's soul from birth.

At the age of 7, a schoolboy wrote his first waltz on a piece of toilet paper in the hospital; at 10 he is already composing fugues, etudes, and trying to create a sonata. Brought up on the music of Bach, Monteverdi, Mozart, Schubert, Baratynsky, Rachmaninov, Gershwin (the works of these composers were performed by students of the Moscow Boys' Choir), Sergei tirelessly searches for his “melody”. He is especially attracted to the piano: the boy tirelessly improves his mastery of the instrument, improvises, composes...

And it is clear to him and, especially, to the teachers that Sergei’s path lies in the world of serious classical music. But God decreed otherwise.

Falling from a height

“At the age of 13, when I was in the camp, I was very unlucky... I wanted to show my prowess in front of the girls, and at the Zarnitsa game I climbed the tree where I was located Observation deck. The tower turned out to be poorly secured, and I fell from a 12-meter height, putting my hands forward. Surprisingly, once on the ground, I didn’t feel any pain at first. She came then wild, piercing...

The diagnosis was multiple fractures of both arms... I had surgery after surgery. The doctor assembled my hands in jewelry, like a restorer restores ancient vases. It took months for rehabilitation...”

It seemed that a severe injury closed the door to great music for Sergei, but poetry came during this difficult time. The music was transformed into lines. It was as if someone from above showed him a way out of the impasse.

“And at this time, it was as if a dam broke - poems began to emerge from me. I couldn’t write them down and dictated them to my friends. Perhaps, without this fatal incident, I would have become completely different. During this time, I changed a lot internally - I learned to communicate with myself, listen to the one inside me. I dreamed of the day when my cast would finally be removed. And now it has come. The hands were a pitiful sight, bluish-pale and wrinkled. And they didn't listen to me at all. I started restoring them. Everything went through hellish pain, even fainting. I became gloomy, desperate, different thoughts came into my head...

The hands were not developed in any way. Then I took up karate, started lifting weights... Six months later, my arms began to slowly unbend... Falling from a height, I could have remained disabled, or I could have died. But God protected me.

I remember at the beginning of the 7th grade, someone came and invited me to listen to Queen on a reel, “ Bohemian Rhapsody" It was a shock. By 8th grade I suddenly discovered AC/DC. Complete freedom of spirit!

At this time, Sergei makes his first attempts to compose songs.

After all, it is the song that is the most diverse genre. And the musician took full advantage of his knowledge and natural gift. Being an excellent melodist and symphonist, he masterfully mastered the most in different forms song creativity. Today in his repertoire you can find romance and country, gypsy tunes and blues, rap and classical pop, waltz and twist, bard song and rock and roll compositions.

It would seem where the musician got such a developed sense of the Russian language as a living organism. Sometimes it seems that Trofimov simply “weaves” masterpieces out of thin air, from the voices of passers-by, from car horns and the rustling of crowns. Well, here it is, either it’s given or it’s not. But to the gift should be added education and the right books. Sergei’s passion for reading grew over the years into a passion for... no, not collecting ancient Guttenberg manuscripts, but... comparative linguistics. This is a science almost as complex as, for example, the quantum physics, only instead of formulas and numbers there are formulas and letters. You don’t just come to such a hobby; you have to be at least prepared for it, otherwise you simply won’t understand anything.

Therefore, neither the music nor the poetry of Sergei Trofimov can be confused with anyone else, even when his song is not performed by the author, but in versions of other performers (Trofimov, let me remind you, writes for many of our pop stars), it is instantly recognizable. The peculiarity of his style is colloquial, giving the verse the spontaneity and charm of living speech, and the song the beauty and simplicity of listening. Professional orchestration skills and absolute pitch, which allows you to instantly arrange the melody among the instruments, helped Sergei become an arranger of his works.

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves...

I simply couldn’t imagine my life without music.

After school, he entered the Moscow State Institute of Culture, where he became acquainted with Cossack songs, northern Russian songs, and went on a folklore expedition to the Don. If I had graduated from college, I would have been the leader of a folk group in some cultural center. But, after studying for three years, I left and entered the Conservatory at the Faculty of Composition Theory. However, I didn’t study there either, because it didn’t suit my spirit. I wanted to study music first and foremost, and not the basics of Marxist-Leninist philosophy. After all, composers and musicians were considered at that time the ideological mouthpiece of the party.

I remember how during the exam I asked the teacher how the bourgeois C major differs from the proletarian one.

“You will never hand over scientific communism to me, Trofimov,” came the response.

This was the last straw, and not long before that I was expelled from the Komsomol, having been caught with a file of the banned anti-Soviet magazine Posev. I said for a long time that I am not interested in bourgeois propaganda, and in the magazine I read articles by Seva Novgorodtsev about rock and roll. But I was still expelled...

In the early 80s we were going to Pushkin Square and screamed at the top of their lungs. There were about twenty regulars. Mostly these were my school friends from the choir, so it’s hard to imagine what we did there! So, Queen arranged their songs into 8-10 voices, and we arranged them into 15-16. The whole area was on edge!

Then I had a group “Kant”, and we performed successfully in the suburbs of Moscow, villages, and houses of culture. It was such intellectual art rock. They even paid us money...

In 1985 we became laureates of the Twentieth World Festival youth and students. Then young Sveta Vladimirskaya turned to me. And I wrote her the song “I Don’t Want to Lose You,” which became her first hit and for which her husband, Volodya Vladimirsky, paid me 150 dollars. This was the first fee.

At that time I was working at the Orekhovo restaurant, and we had a whole program consisting of my songs.
In 1987 I left the restaurant. He traveled around Russia with a guitar as part of concert teams. Then, music cooperatives were created under the district Komsomol committees, which organized concerts and tours. We traveled with "Mirage", with " Tender May“, with Zhanna Aguzarova... They performed five concerts a day, it was called “chess”.

Then 1991 happened: someone rushed to earn money, someone left the country, someone drank himself to death, and I felt somehow uneasy. Now I can probably formulate why.

“Evil men of wisdom, prophets and sages,
Eternal saviors of the people.
Give me something so I don't give up
From such obsessive freedom.
Oh, dear Russia, baptized land!
They say you are God's bride...
How did it happen that today for me
There is no place for your dear one..."

Prayer inside of me

Our generation, despite the fact that everyone despised the “scoop” in their hearts, associated itself with a great power. And when she died overnight, I wanted to identify myself with something. I went to church. In my deep conviction, and I know the history of Russia quite well, it was the church that played a role in unifying Russian statehood. Not so much the princes, but the Orthodox faith. And I stayed in the church for two years: first I was a chorister, then a regent. There were no concerts. I lived strictly according to church rules.

One day a miracle happened to me: during the Christmas service, when everyone around me, including me, was reading a prayer, my own prayer, born from my heart, began to sound more and more powerfully in my soul. And at some point I suddenly felt something piercing and bright at the same time. It was as if my prayer - the one that sounded in my heart - was heard. And I was given the opportunity to see for a moment and feel the love of God! It all happened so suddenly - it was as if a bullet had hit the heart! Human love - for a woman, for a child - is only a small particle of the Divine love that I felt then. And then I decided that I had found my calling. I had priests in my family, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps.

My spiritual mentor, Father Nikolai, forbade me to become a monk. He was then a priest in the church on Taganka, and now he is a monk on Valaam. He said: “You cannot be a monk if something new is constantly born in your soul.” And I really was writing something all the time, composing music and lyrics. “God gave you talent, which means you must realize it, create and thus serve people. This is your purpose." I still often go to church. Faith saves and supports me. I generally live with the feeling that a miracle is about to happen to me. I used to wait for him all the time. And only recently I began to understand that miracles happen to us every day. Love is the main miracle, the main treasure. This generally dawns on men quite late. And even later comes the understanding of what true love is.

I lived most of my life with the idea that to love is to possess. Only when I was approaching forty, a few years ago, I realized: to love is to give. And everything fell into place.

In 1993 I wrote “Vespers”. As a rule, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, and Rachmaninov sound in our churches, but I wanted to return to the roots - to the Russian Znamenny chant. But the Holy Synod reviews and approves for performance only works by members of the Union of Composers (of which I was never a member), so my “Vespers” was performed only in two Moscow churches, but even there, after the priests changed, it no longer sounds.

I left the church with solid ground under my feet. Even when he sang in a chapel, and then in church, he continued to write poetry in this vein, which has no relation to the official musical establishment. Then he studied stylistic rock and roll. This is how the album “Sorrow of a Sinful Soul” appeared, songs from which were performed by Alexander Ivanov. At the same time, I wrote lyrical songs “for the kitchen.” I never really wanted to go out to the general public. Everything worked out naturally. I wasn’t looking for show business, it was he who found me.

When I returned in 1994, I was forced to start all over again. Not only in creativity, but in life in general. Then I met Sasha Ivanov and Stepan Razin, the husband of the singer Karolina. I started writing songs for them, and they decided to publish my “kitchen” songs, which were written for myself, in the album “To the Aristocracies of Garbage Garbs.” This was the beginning. Then I got the pseudonym “Trofim”.

Aristocracy of garbage

Let's pause our hero's monologue for a moment and remember the memorable year 1995, when the album "Aristocracy of the Garbage" began to play from the "embrasure" of every stall. To be honest, I didn’t understand Trofim right away. And the point is not that I, like all aesthetic critics, was frightened by the notorious “thieves’ note” of his early albums. Not at all, to me personally, who grew up on the work of Arkady Severny and the emigration of the third wave, the songs from the first disc seemed, on the contrary, too... intelligent. The album did not fit into the format and was difficult to describe. In voice and appearance, he seemed closer to the bards. In terms of music and arrangement, it’s almost an emigrant. Texts... These were the hardest ones to compare. It seems fun, rollicking, banter, but at the same time, sad and bitter. Only later did understanding come - his texts made me think about looking for answers. Stylistically, it was an unknown cocktail, where you could feel the sharp and laconic style of Vysotsky, the melodiousness and softness of Okudzhava, the courage and melancholy of Arkady Severny, the despair and wisdom of Galich. The ingredients seem to be known, but merge into an unfamiliar and bright taste. For six months I wandered around in indecision, constantly listening to a new artist at student parties and in my friends’ cars, but not daring to buy a cassette for myself. Now I can’t remember which specific composition broke through the gap of mistrust, most likely the title one - “The Aristocracy of the Garbage Garbage”.

“...When the rednecks use communist money
opened the American Express Bank,
the security officers gave free rein to the swindlers,
having your own diamond interest.
And at the same hour from the common swamp
let's go, throwing off our bast shoes, gentlemen.
Now they are in order and respected,
rowing lava from a muddy pond.”

The debut “shot” turned out to be accurate, but almost caught the hit-maker himself with a ricochet. In 1999, when in addition to the first record Trofim had three more new discs to his credit, the host of the “What? Where? When?" Vladimir Voroshilov invited him to perform live. And the young singer-songwriter heartily told viewers about “the aristocracy of the garbage dump, dictating the fashion for morality.”

“After that, I was taken off the air altogether,” the artist continues to recall.

The situation was aggravated by the album “War and Peace”. With its release, functionaries from the funds mass media I was given different labels. Many of us don’t really know anything, but at the same time they have their own opinions...

Rosenbaum

Alexander Rosenbaum helped. I am sincerely grateful to him for this and even dedicated a song to Alexander Yakovlevich:

“...Write about your soul,
that flows, flows with azure light,
Breaking through the darkness
hopeless human blindness,
And how funny it is
to be a singer, a rebel and a poet
In the state of rednecks,
indifference and poverty..."

Now it is difficult to predict how events would have developed if Trofim had not sung a “seditious” thing on the air of a popular television show or if Alexander Yakovlevich had not met him on the way... But, as wise people say: “God leads through life.” In the new century we heard a completely new Trofimov. This was not just a chansonnier singing talented and sharp satirical couplets. Suddenly, my boyfriend from the tape appeared as a subtle lyricist, a philosopher and simply a friend, capable of sharing sadness. They heard him. They understood and loved.

Sergei Trofimov stands out on the modern stage for many reasons.

Firstly, with genuine poetry, sounding in every line, and secondly, which is extremely important, professional vocals. Classical Italian voice training, which accompanied Sergei throughout his ten years of study in the choir, and folk vocal classes at the Institute of Culture mean a lot and distinguish the artist Trofimov from many who believe that they sing with him “in the same genre.”

It’s normal when a person searches, grows, gets to know himself... Over the years, views on things change, the attitude towards oneself changes, the people around change... Experience and wisdom come. And with them - others musical compositions. Now Sergei Trofimov can afford to experiment with sound, producing a whole block of new projects with, in general, a purely rock and roll sound, and recording entirely lyrical albums.

Or maybe he’ll shake up the old days and broadcast on Channel One a rollicking duet with Dmitry Dibrov, which viewers will perceive no worse than his original songs. Let the best proof of my thought again be a post from the impartial Internet. An unnamed admirer reports: “I wasn’t interested in Trofimov’s work for some time until I heard his album “Nostalgia”, where they sound wonderful and very kind, both in text and in musically, compositions. It was with him that my, dare I say it, love for his songs began. As I know, the period of “prickly” themes has long passed for him, along with a change in creativity, there was also a change in his stage image: the place of the pseudonym “Trofim” was taken by his first and last name - Sergei Trofimov.
Yes, success is obvious and deserved. But how nice it is when an artist with an audience of millions speaks about himself simply and without pretense: “Well, what a star I am... First of all, I am a servant of God, and everything else is secondary. I still feel extremely awkward when people come up to me and ask for an autograph. Of course, I don’t refuse, because you can’t explain to every person that we are brothers, that we are equal, and it doesn’t matter who does what in life.

No matter how much material things people have in this life, I mean, a yacht, a Bentley, our essence does not change. All this is given, so to speak, for temporary use, because when you leave you will not be able to take away either a yacht or a cool car. You won't be able to take anything at all. Life is intellectual game. And in this game the main thing is to understand what kind of real you are. I would like my creativity to be slightly stimulating. Encouraged us to search for answers to the question “Why?” Why are we all here?

Sergei Trofimov the artist and Sergei Trofimov the man continues his search. Stopping halfway or resting on his laurels is not his style. He is always on the move.

Vectors creative activity The artists are so diverse that at first it is not clear who the director is.

Well, of course, the main thing is musical, every fan of the artist will exclaim.

This answer really lies in plain sight - Trofimov doesn’t just live and breathe music. And therefore he flies to where his song is most needed today, without hesitation.

As a listener, he catches everything on the fly and immediately understands where they are performing a routine in front of him, and where they are giving away their soul. I was lucky enough to attend various performances of the singer, and I don’t know of an example where his voice sounded “half-hearted.” Trofimov always works seriously and with pleasure, and, as a real artist, what is important to him is not the interiors around him, but mutual contact with the audience, even if the hall today has become an army tent or a hospital corridor of a military hospital. There is no need to explain to Sergei about the sense of duty...

That’s all true, but the other day, flipping through another glossy article with an article about Sergei and looking at his absolutely happy eyes in photographs with his wife and children, I suddenly realized that the spiritual vector of the current Sergei Trofimov is directed, first of all, towards his family. And this is quite logical. No best source for inspiration than peace and goodness in the home. Maybe someone is used to calling on the muse while standing on the edge, but not Trofimov. That’s why his songs are good; you listen to them and a fire lights up in your chest. This is called a "gift".

I am a person from a world whose name is show business. There are a lot of temptations around. Rocks me like a ship. I'm only at peace at home. So I live with the feeling that I spend my days in a casino, and return to the temple to spend the night.”
