Age of zemfira. Biography of Zemfira
Zemfira, that well-known girl who contributed Russian rock has its own twist, light, journalists gave it a name - “female rock”. Her songs are still played on radio stations, and for young people Zemfira’s work is a source of inspiration, melancholy and sadness.
The little future singer was born in the city of Ufa, into a family of high moral views. Father Talgat Talkhovich was a history teacher, and mother Florida Khakievna was a specialist in physical therapy.
Zemfira was not the only child in the family, the elder brother Ramil doted on his sister and a trusting, very warm relationship always developed between them. Sometimes, a girl could tell her secret to her brother and not be afraid that she would be judged, scolded or laughed at.
Since childhood, the girl was drawn to music. At such an early age of 5, Zemfira was already taking piano lessons at a music school and was a soloist in the choir. And at the age of 7, without anyone’s help, she wrote her first song and did not hesitate to perform it in front of her mother’s colleagues.
Musical activity brought great pleasure and was much more than just a hobby.
At school, Zemfira became interested in basketball, but she was not particularly tall, and this spurred her even more to achieve something. The efforts were not in vain and she became the captain of the Russian junior team. Sports are so pulled the girl in tight, which stood on par with music, which was very important.
Therefore, in high school, a huge problem became what to devote my life to, who to become. Thinking a lot about this topic, Zemfira put musical activity at the forefront and applied to the art school in his hometown.
In order to have her own personal money, and not ask her parents, Zemfira began to look for part-time work and got a job at a local restaurant, where she performed various popular compositions in the evenings.
I got a little fed up with this lifestyle, I wanted to change my occupation, and now the girl is working at a radio station, recording commercials. At this time Zemfira n starts recording songs own compositions on cassette tapes.
At the end of the 90s, Zemfira's life takes a sharp turn 180 degrees. Her songs, recorded on tape, through friends, completely randomly end up in the hands of the producer the then famous group “Mumiy Troll”.
He appreciates musical compositions, having truly seen real talent. Leonid Burlakov gives Zefmira the opportunity to advance in her activities, and she records her first album, which she calls “Zemfira”.
Zemfira did not even expect such success, because the album sold like hotcakes, and at the concerts there were always many people who were delighted with her music.
Work has begun on the second album entitled "Forgive me, my love", which became the most popular in early 2000. This album is still the most popular among the singer’s projects. One song even became the soundtrack to the movie “Brother 2”.
Later, Zemfira received a very large and serious offer; director Renata Litvinova invited her to join her team so that the girl could compose music for the film “Goddess: How I Fell in Love.”
Zemfira’s musical activity brought such success that she was included in the list of “One Hundred Most Influential Women in Russia.”
There were always a lot of rumors about Zemfira’s personal life, but she was in no hurry to refute them and clarify them.
Moreover, the singer herself misled journalists and her fans by saying that she was marrying the leader of the group “Dancing Minus,” but this was just an attempt attract attention.
Someone said that Zemfira had a relationship with a woman and was engaged to Renata Litvinova. But both girls prefer not to talk about this topic, avoiding it in interviews.
In 2010, Zemfira suffered a misfortune: her beloved brother died and drowned in the river. The father died from the disease, and then the mother. This the state of mind has weakened singers. From that time on, she decided that her main task was to take care of her nephews. Therefore, for now the singer does not have her own children, and her personal life remains under seven locks.
Although Zemfira mentions her status as “In Love” in interviews with journalists, she does not reveal all the secrets of her personal life.
Zemfira’s huge “Little Man” tour has started, during which she visited 20 cities in Russia and several foreign countries. Driving around the cities, the singer reported the sad news that her music career is over, thereby greatly upsetting the loyal fans who were inspired by her music.
But the singer does not stop spreading her songs. A in 2016 she even recorded a new song"Come back home". Loyal fans are still waiting for Zemfira to return to music and have not lost hope.

Vladimir Pozner

Concerts are Zemfira’s main source of income

Zemfira has lost weight and she likes it
The girl does not consume dairy products - she considers them harmful. The singer is very concerned about how she looks. That's why Zemfira often looks in the mirror.

But when a girl starts, in her opinion, eating too much, she tries not to look at her reflection. Some people think Zemfira is too thin, but she strives to maintain her weight and not gain weight.

She still communicates with fans on the social network “VKontakte”, where she recently described the singers Monetochka and Grechka.
Fans are waiting for Zemfira's new concerts
Admirers of her talent do not want to believe that the “Little Man” tour was the final one, and there will no longer be such cosmic concerts from a sincere singer with a “magnetic” voice. After all, over 20 years of creativity, the girl managed to create her own galaxy in the musical universe, and in each of her albums there is a new Zemfira.

The girl grew up in an intelligent Bashkir-Tatar family. The girl's father, Talgat Talkhoevich, taught history at school. Zemfira also has an older brother named Ramil.
From a very early age, Zemfira developed a musical talent. From the age of 5, the girl took piano lessons at a music school, and later she was accepted as a soloist in the school choir.
Also, at the age of 5, the future singer first appeared on television: on a local TV channel, a girl sang a song about a worm.
As a child, the future singer had many hobbies; she attended 7 clubs at once, but paid more attention to music and basketball. Despite the fact that Zemfira was the shortest on the team in the school basketball team, the future singer became the captain of the Russian junior team.
Zemfira in her youth
After graduating from school, Zemfira decides to take music seriously and enters the pop-jazz vocal department at the Ufa College of Arts. In parallel with her studies, the girl performs hits of her favorite performers on the street: “Kino”, “Nautilus Pomilius” and “Aquarium”, and also sings the original compositions of Freddie Mercury and George Michael.
After graduating from college, Zemfira, together with her classmate Vlad Kolchin, who plays the saxophone, performed songs in restaurants in Ufa. But soon the girl got tired of it, and she decided to find another place of work.
The beginning of a musical career
In 1996, Zemfira was hired as a sound engineer at the local branch of the Europe-Plus radio station. At the same time, she begins to write her first songs in the Cakewalk program. Using this program, the compositions “Snow”, “Forecaster”, “Rockets” and “Why”, which were included in the singer’s first album, were recorded.
The girl also manages to work as a backing vocalist in the popular band of that time, Spectrum Ace. In the same year, Zemfira persuades Arkady Mukhtarov to record the performer’s demo disc.
In the same year, Zemfira decides to form her own group. The first member was bass guitarist Rinat Akhmadiev, then Rinat brought his friend drummer Sergei Sozinov, next year keyboard player Sergei Mirolyubov and lead guitarist Vadim Solovyov joined the band.

In January 1999, the album was mixed in London. On May 10, the first album called “Zemfira” is released, which incredibly quickly gained popularity among listeners.

Father Talgat Talkhovich worked at a school, and mother Florida Khakievna was engaged in physical therapy. Also, her older brother, Ramil, was raised in the family. By the way, the real name of the future performer is Zemfira Ramazanova.
She began to show her desire for music at an early age. As a five-year-old girl, Zemfira is sent to a music school, where she learns to play the piano and sings in the choir along the way. Even then, she appeared on local television channels, where she performed children's songs.
At the age of seven, Zemfira composed her own musical composition, where she was first presented to the public at her mother’s work. While at school, she became interested in the work of the Kino group, and later she will tell you that this significantly influenced her musical views.
Despite her relatively small stature, Zemfira played basketball and was the captain of the Russian youth team. Because of this, before graduating from school, I had a choice - to take up sports or music. After thinking a little, she decides to give preference to the second and enters the school of the city of Ufa, where she studies pop-jazz vocals. While in her second year, Zemfira begins to earn extra money by performing famous songs in restaurants in her hometown. And already in 1996, she got a job at a radio station.

Radical changes took place in the singer’s life a year later, when one of her recordings ended up with the producer of Mumiy Troll. He invites Zemfira to record a full-length album, and already in 1998 a full-length album is released. Some songs from there appeared on the radio even before the official release, and the first crowds of fans began to appear.

In 2002, a new album appeared before listeners. It is noteworthy that its novelty is associated not only with the compositions, but also with the stylistic framework. Now these are exclusively independent works, without the influence of Mumiy Troll. The new album sold out in huge numbers and received no less than various awards. Zemfira herself received the title “Performer of the Year”, thanks to several music magazines.

Despite her relatively small stature, Zemfira played basketball and was the captain of the Russian youth team.

After thinking a little, she decides to give preference to the second and enters the school of the city of Ufa, where she studies pop-jazz vocals. While in her second year, Zemfira begins to earn extra money by performing famous songs in restaurants in her hometown. And already in 1996, she got a job at a radio station.
