Nikita's number. Three shots, one hit

He is the youngest member of the group, but at the same time the most experienced - before MBAND, he had considerable experience of performing in top-rated children's song festivals, including the Ukrainian “Voice. Children", "Paradise Holiday", "Children's New Wave", "Baltic Stars", "Junior Eurovision".

As part of a youth boy band created as an analogue of the world-famous band One Direction, the young talent won such prestigious music awards as Golden Gramophone, RU.TV, Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Fashion People Awards-2015 "

Childhood

His parents have nothing to do with the world of art or show business. Nikita’s mother is a doctor, and his stepfather is a football coach.

In an effort to give their child as much as possible, at the age of 7, Nikita’s parents enrolled Nikita in the “Constellation of Good” musical theater, where the boy, who preferred skateboarding and football, received classes in dance, vocals, music and stagecraft.

Nikita Kiosse: the path to success

At first he was reluctant to go to the theater, but soon he became interested in singing, dancing, and other disciplines. Further - more: he himself demonstrated excellent musicianship and stage presence. He took part in many concerts of his group, including a performance at the international children's creativity competition “Sunny Bunny”.

In 2010, at one of the vocal shows, pop artist Svetlana Svetikova, who was sitting on the jury, heard him sing. The singer liked Nikita so much that she sang a duet with him. “In this 12-year-old from Ryazan, I saw myself in my youth. I also performed at children’s competitions, but I didn’t have any support,” said Sveta.

At the age of 12, the talented teenager found himself on the stage of the Moscow Operetta Theater. He got the role of a ghost boy in the Broadway-level musical The Count of Monte Cristo, which became the record holder in Russia for the longest run. The aspiring artist took his first fee to his parents.

“Junior Eurovision” and “The Voice”

“Junior Eurovision 2012”: Nikita Kiosse – Icarus

That day, his talent was appreciated by representatives of the Kyiv production center PARADIZ who were present at the event, and the public’s favorite received an invitation to study. Together with their mother they moved to Kyiv. There, highly qualified specialists took charge of Nikita, helping to reveal his creative potential and shape his musical taste and culture. Thanks to the acquired skills and support, Nikita got to the Children's New Wave festival held in Yalta, but he failed to win.

The next important step on his way to the musical Olympus was his performance in the vocal competition “Voice. Diti" from November 2012 to January 2013. His soulful rendition of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" impressed both the audience and the judges.

He chose Tina Karol as his mentor. Under her leadership, the gifted performer reached the finals, wonderfully sang Okean Elsa’s song “Vіdpusti” (“Let Go”), but again did not win. However, he gained invaluable experience and gained a huge number of fans. About 80 fans attended his first fan meeting after the show. He rightly called his participation in the project the start of his professional career.

Kiossa had to finish ninth grade as an external student. Then he entered the theater college at the Oleg Tabakov Theater and, simultaneously with his studies, performed in concert shows as backup dancers with famous pop performers (A’Studio, Irina Dubtsova, Sergei Lazarev), and was a soloist in the trio “The Last Romantics.”

“I want to go to Meladze”

Kiosse immediately realized that this competition was an excellent chance to apply for a professional career. He had to quit college, despite the fact that his family was categorically against such a decision.

He passed the casting for show talents, flawlessly performing the composition of the Ukrainian singer Ivan Dorn “Kissing Another”. He immediately joined Sergei Lazarev's team, then made it to the finals of the song competition and became its winner, despite all the difficulties and vicissitudes. So, he had to perform in the semi-finals with the group “Factory”. Before the performance, an open can of pink paint fell on him, but this did not stop him from singing his part in the song “Flying Away” by the pop group A’Studio without losing his composure.

It wasn’t easy during the performance of James Arthur’s song “Impossible”. After all, it is difficult to sing with dignity and look beautiful while standing, without the ability to move, in some semblance of either a pedestal or a flower pot, as the number required.

“I want to go to Meldaza.” Impossible

However, having received extremely enthusiastic comments and approval from the public, he became a member of the created boy band MBAND. Four guys - Kiosse, Vladislav Ramm, Anatoly Tsoi and Artem Pindyura - became winners and received the most valuable prize for an aspiring singer - a contract with Meladze.

MBAND

In February 2015, Kiosse, as part of the boy band, went on a tour, which began with their performance on Valentine's Day at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex as part of the Big Love Show festival.

In March, the 2nd single, “Give Me,” was presented to listeners. It was created by Meladze together with his wards - Nikita was the co-author of the text and music, Artem - the words. In May, the premiere of the third single by the master, “Look at Me,” took place. A month later, a video for this song was released, filmed in the Ukrainian capital. Nyusha participated in its production, and unexpectedly Meladze himself appeared in the image of a gardener. And again the singers enjoyed success, recognition, and a number of prizes and titles.

MBAND – Look at me

On the occasion of the half-century anniversary of the birth of Valery Meladze, the boy band presented his song “Do it right now,” which was included in the gift disc.

At the same time, the program “One Day with MBAND” started on the STS Love TV channel. As part of this project, eight female fans of the group were given the opportunity to spend time with their idols.

In September, Nikita's fans could get acquainted with the next work of his group - “What do you want?” The composition was co-written: music was written by Dmitry Northman and Jussi Nikula (Finnish songwriter), lyrics by Meladze, Pindyura and Alisa Osenina. And the next month, the pop group’s first solo performance took place at the Moscow nightclub Bud Arena, broadcast on the STS Love channel.

Personal life of Nikita Kiosse

After Vladislav Ramm left, Nikita became the most popular member of MBAND. By 2017, the number of his subscribers on social networks exceeded 50 thousand, and the number of “hearts” given to him reached 4.5 million. During performances in the project “Voice. “Children” showered him with toys, souvenirs and candy (at a meeting with fans, he once admitted that he loved sweets).

The singer calls himself a music lover, as he constantly listens to a lot of music. He especially likes Eric Carmen’s composition “All by Myself” about unrequited love, as well as Alexey Chumakov, Rolling Stones, Brian McCnight, “Elzy’s Ocean”.

He enjoys skateboarding, ice skating and snowboarding, and loves dancing and choreography.

According to the star, many girls admire him. He believes that a woman is the most beautiful thing that God could create, and each of them has a secret and something special.

Friends call Nikita Kisa - not only because of his surname, which is consonant with this word, but because of his ability to purr like a real cat.

Nikita Kiosse now

In November, the boy band released the disc “No Filters” and, a month later, the disc “Acoustics”. Next came a video for the song “Ballerina,” which was included in the soundtrack of the French cartoon of the same name.

Artem Pindyura, 24 years old

The young man was born in Kyiv. Artem is known in narrow circles as the solo hip-hop artist Kid. During the blind audition, the guy couldn’t give up his usual style, so he started rapping. Which ensured him the respect of Timati, who sat on the jury and subsequently became the guy’s mentor. But as a result of Konstantin Meladze’s reshuffle, Artem ended up in Sergei Lazarev’s team and won.

“I did not expect that Sergey Lazarev would turn out to be more than just a mentor for me. From him I felt some kind of unreal sincerity and openness. I could not even imagine that Lazarev was such a professional artist. It was during the time that I worked with him that I opened up vocally. And of course, I am very grateful to Timati for his support throughout the entire project, which gave me a lot of confidence", - shared Artem Pindyura.

As it turned out, the young man had a very serious relationship before the project, which almost reached the wedding. However, according to Artem, the girl did not support him in his work. And just in time, Pindyura found out about the casting for the show “I want to go to Meladze.” This was a chance to prove your right to success.

“If before the project I was still wondering whether I should make music, now life itself, fate and the universe make me understand that this is my business. A business that I absolutely love, a business from which I get a thrill at any time of the year, at any time of the day, in any mood. I went on the show with the goal of giving people positivity. So that everyone in the hall and on the other side of the screen gets a charge of real emotions. I didn’t initially have any plans to even reach the finals. But, as they say, appetite comes with eating, and it was only later that I wanted to win.”, - admitted the third member of the MBAND group

In the past, solo hip-hop artist Artem Pindyura was surprisingly able to join a boy band.

“Each of us has thought about a solo career many times, but personally I am very comfortable being a member of a team. I consider myself a good “player”, and I’m incredibly glad that we ended up with just such a group. Vlad Ramm, with whom we were in a team from the very beginning of the project, is absolutely unreal! A man of emotion, a man of sincerity, practically a brother. We have been communicating with Nikita Kiosse since the first days of moving into the house; at first he seemed a little self-confident to me, but then I realized that Nikita is a real winner, and he thinks like an adult, smart guy. Tolik Tsoi is a real man, the strongest vocalist on the project, I admired his parts in every number. So I really like working in a team, especially like this!”, Artem Pindyura said frankly.

Anatoly Tsoi, 25 years old

Anatoly comes from Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. For as long as he can remember, he has always been singing. From the age of 14 he began to earn money at corporate events and holidays. Won a bronze medal at the Second World Delphic Games in the “Variety Vocal” category. At the blind audition “I want to go to Meladze”, he surprised everyone with his performance of the most difficult Naughty Boy song “La la la”, while dancing fieryly. He joined Anna Sedokova's team, went through all the stages of the show with her, and just before the final he was transferred by Konstantin Meladze to Sergei Lazarev's team.

“It was incredibly difficult to move to Lazarev’s team just before the final, since Anya Sedokova and I have come a long way. We had already gotten very used to each other, became friends, and understood each other perfectly! But this replacement led me to victory, Konstantin saw the group with exactly this composition, I trust him completely, so this was not even discussed! The project became a rebirth for me, a completely new life began", - shared Anatoly Tsoi.

5 year old actor

Nikita Panfilov was born in the capital in 1979. According to the official website of agent Nikita Panfilov, he was born into a creative family. His parents are directors. And, of course, from his earliest years, their son did not visit behind the scenes of theaters, but lived. At the age of 5 he already began to appear on stage. And no one was surprised by this.

Master of Sport

So, the creative biography of Nikita Panfilov began as soon as the boy learned to speak and memorize words and lines. And already at the age of 14 he performed at children's parties as Santa Claus. But for him it was more like entertainment. He dreamed of becoming a tractor driver. Then, in order to calm his irrepressible energy, his father sent him to the wrestling section. At the age of 16, Nikita achieved the title of Master of Sports. But then he got tired of sports.

Three shots, one hit

Nikita also dreamed of becoming a surgeon. This dream was fueled by an anatomy teacher, in whose subject Nikita received only A's. He even wanted to go to medical school, but his mother persuaded him to follow the acting path. At organized events with Nikita Panfilov, the actor says that he submitted documents to three theater schools. I went to two of them, but chose “sliver”.

Millions didn't make a mistake

After college, the graduate was immediately accepted into the theater troupe. Chekhov, and was literally overwhelmed with roles. But theater's audience is much more local than cinema's. It is no coincidence that Nikita immediately agreed to the first film offer, and he was right. Both he and the director. His hero, Pyotr Cherkasov, whom he played in “Adjutants of Love,” fell in love with millions of television viewers, and especially female viewers. Therefore, dear men, when you order Nikita Panfilov for a corporate event or a wedding, you are making a very good gift for women, first of all!

Gemini brothers

Any actor, working on a role, tries on the image for himself. Likewise, Nikita, playing Cherkasov, believes that he is almost his copy. Perhaps that is why the audience was left with the feeling that Panfilov was not acting, but portraying himself. But really, how are you similar? - ask his fans, surrounding Nikita Panfilov after weddings and corporate events. He says that in everything.

And without a wig

When Panfilov was being prepared for his role in “The Adjutant,” a lot of wigs had to be sorted out. They couldn't decide what suited him. Spending several hours on the set in makeup and a wig is something only actors can do! Is it easy or not - you need to ask them. That’s why they invite Nikita Panfilov to events and holidays to find out about his real emotions. Not what an actor experiences. And those that Nikita Panfilov himself experiences.
