Nike Vladimirovich Borzov: biography. History of the Nike Greyhound group Nike Greyhound personal life

Biography, life story of Nike Borzov

It all started with the blessing of my parents. Nike's father was a musician and very timely instilled in his son a love of cult characters: The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zeppelin, etc. Mom also had no special objections to playing music. The first and last major incident occurred between the parents and Nike, when the latter, being 17 years old, one fine day left home.

However, he was soon discovered by alarmed parents who rushed to search in the apartment of one girl in a state of wild hangover. And then my mother uttered the historical phrase: “Do what you want, but live at home.” And Nike did not fail to take advantage of this offer. To begin with, he organized the punk group "Infection", which existed until 1992 and recorded 2 albums with them: "Onanism" and "Hole for the Navel". In parallel with this, he took an active part in various projects, both his own and those of others ("Mesopotamia", "Platonic Prostitution", "Buffet", "Died", "Special Nurses", "Norman Bates Fan Club", etc. ), and is also known to this day as a full-fledged member of the notorious team “Khuy Zabey”.

Despite such vigorous activity, Nike managed to record three solo albums by 1999. The super hit "Horse" was banned on many FM radio stations. At one time, a heated argument broke out over this song between Mikhail Kozyrev (program director of Nashe Radio) and Dmitry Dibrov (currently the host of the TV show Anthropology). The first argued that “The Horse” should not be allowed on the air, the second ardently defended its right to exist. And the culprit was the phrase “a horse carrying cocaine” used in the lyrics of the song. Nike was immediately credited with promoting drugs, although the musician’s own comments fully explain the meaning: “...A person drives himself into a certain framework, comes up with a certain order of things for himself, which he is subsequently unable to change. He has responsibilities: a family that needs to be supported, a job that you need to go to in order to support your family, a dacha where you need to dig something up every week, a car that you need to tinker with in order to go to this very dacha, etc. It turns out that a person is a workhorse, a horse-man, pulling a cart with her happiness, “a horse carrying cocaine.”

Nike signed a contract with the Snegiri Music company and on January 25, 2000, the new album “Superman”, the fourth in a row, was released. Work on the album began in early 1999 at the Mosfilm tone studio. Dmitry Slansky and Alexander Solich (the rhythm section of the “Moral Code”), musicians from Mikhail Pletnev’s orchestra and the lead singer of the group “Army” Ruslana (backing vocals) took part in the recording as guest musicians. The album was produced by Oleg Nesterov, Mikhail Gabolaev, sound producer Brigitte Angerhausen, who mixed some of the compositions, and partly by Nike himself. The work turned out to be experimental and took place in various recording studios (from the Mosfilm studio to the basement of the children's music school in Vidnoe). When recording some songs, Nike himself performed all the guitar, drums and keyboard parts, and musicians from Mikhail Pletnev’s orchestra worked with him on the title song “Superman”. The song “Three Words” deserves a separate discussion.

Nike himself was resolutely against including this song in the new album; he saved it for his next parallel project, “Comanche.” Finally agreeing, Nike set a condition for the producers: the song should sound as “crooked and unkempt” as possible. To do this, everything had to be done topsy-turvy - the electric guitar was recorded without electricity and the first string, the bass was passed through a guitar, not a bass, “combo,” and the drum track was obtained by “reproducing” the most “crooked” fragment, which Nike himself tapped. To record “Three Words,” a single copy of the cult Italian electric organola “Farfisa” was used, which had been collecting dust in the cinema orchestra for 30 years and was known to a wide audience from the films “Operation Y” and “Prisoner of the Caucasus.” The last “touch” was invented when Nike was driving somewhere in the car. The cassette with the final version of “Three Words” was put into the radio, and suddenly it sounded a little faster than it should have. The ideal pace had been found. The song was sent to Moscow and regional radio stations, the reactions of which varied significantly: cautious Moscow was silent, while the regions were delighted, the song was put into hot rotation, “Three Words” entered the “tens” of radio charts. The Riga radio station Super FM, which is known as the discoverer of many of today's stars, was the first to introduce the fashion for the song "Three Words" in the Baltics. Thus, “Three Words” supported both “East” and “West” at the same time, and after them the “Center”. Very soon the song “Three Words” became truly popular - on the street, in cafes, in the subway and, of course, at concerts, people sing it in chorus from beginning to end.

A few words from Nike himself about his own songs from this album. “A mess in my head” - “...A man’s story about his dream, about what is happening to him... Together with mine in this song is the voice of the legendary Che Guevara.” “Riding on a Star” - “This song has two meanings. The first: a person has the right to personal freedom, freedom of action. And the second

will be clear if you translate the phrase from the song "...mi torno diabolo esta..." from Spanish into Russian..." "Superman" - "I wanted to present this character not just as a hero, but a hero with a soul who I'm tired of daily exploits and would like to stay with my loved one." "Three words" - "A mirror song for those who still wear sweatpants to a disco with the goal of getting drunk and punching someone in the face. The hero Vova is the grown-up hero of jokes Vovochka." "In the future of the moon" - "...One of the oldest songs, written in the early 90s. The song is somewhat surreal, but in fact it talks about freedom of choice." "Artist" - "...dedicated to all people who love to draw. In essence, it is as ironic as “Three Words.” “Riddle” - “The most autobiographical song of all. Some personal experience of relationships in life with another person...”. “The Last Song” - “The last one, not because it’s the last one on the album, in the last century, and so on. The song of a person who loves, but is forced to move into another astral “state.” One of my most lyrical songs.”

Nike's latest (now not the last) album is special. Connoisseurs will finally receive a product that, without exaggeration, can be classified as “International” music. The album is also supplemented with several bonus tracks: a remix of the song “Three Words”, authored by dj Groove, a remix of the team “Khui Zabey” for the song “Superman” and two versions of Vladislav Afanasov’s remix for the song “Riding on a Star”.

Biography

In 1992, Nike Borzov’s solo career began - his first album “Immersion” was released.

In 1994, a second album entitled “Closed” was released.

In 1996, the Infection group turns ten years old. Then, without musicians, Nike recorded the “Infections” album “Take your bitch in your arms” in two days, in which he himself plays all the instruments. The tracks of this album included the song “Horse” for the first time.

In 1997, the third solo album “Puzzle” appeared, which also included the track “Horse”. From that moment on, the scandalous history of the song began: it was banned for rotation on many domestic radio stations due to the presence of the word “cocaine” in the lyrics.

In 1999, Nike Borzov signed a contract with the Snegiri Music company.

In 1999, director Evgeny Zvezdakov shot a video for the song “Three Words.” Following the ironic “Three Words” comes the romantic composition “Riding on a Star”, filmed by Andrei Airapetov.

In January 2000, the album “Superman” was released. It is with this album that the general public begins to become acquainted with his work. Incredibly quickly, this acquaintance turns into ardent love and lasting affection.

In the spring of 2000, a video filmed by director Gleb Orlov for “The Last Song” was released. “Three Words”, “Riding on a Star” and “The Last Song”, included in the album “Superman”, become undisputed hits in Russia. Since 2000, Nike has become a participant in the largest music festivals in the territory of the former Soviet Union - “Maxidrom” and “Invasion” ".

In the summer of 2000, Nike re-recorded the song “Horse”, and in June a maxi-single of the same name was released on Snegiri. In the fall of 2000, two entire animated videos were shot for this song. Guy Khanov and Boris Taloverov are filming the original “Horse”, and Andrey Vradiy and Andrey Airapetov are remixing the group “Species of Fish”. The latter premiered in February 2001 on one of the largest portals on the Russian Internet - www.rambler.ru, and in just two weeks the clip attracted a record number of viewers for the Russian network. During this time, the video was downloaded more than 40,000 times.

In December 2000, Nike Borzov released a collector's reissue of “SupermEND” at Snegiri. It is supplemented with the song “Horse”, the previously unreleased composition “Quarrel”, new remixes and several versions of already known songs. At the end of 2000, authoritative Russian media: OM magazine, Izvestia newspaper and Maximum radio named Nike Borzov performer of the year.

In 2001, the song “Quarrel” was included in the soundtrack to Roman Kachanov’s film Down House. The video for it was shot by the leading actor in the film “Down House,” the son of the famous Russian director Sergei Bondarchuk, actor and director, Fyodor Bondarchuk.

March 2001. Nike Borzov’s “SupermEND” concert of the year in the famous Moscow concert hall “Gorbushka” became the final for the “SupermEND” tour and put an end to the history of the 2000 “Superman” trilogy. It included the album “Superman”, the maxi-single “Horse”, and the expanded re-release of “SupermanEND”. In addition to songs from these three records, the concert featured little-known songs from Nike’s early solo albums, as well as the song “Dead Mane” by the group “Infection” in a duet with Arkhip Akhmeleev. Shortly before the concert, the song “Three Words” was discussed for two hours at a plenary session by deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. In response, Nike personally invited the State Duma speaker to his concert. Shortly after the concert, the Snegiri company released the VHS “Naik Borzov. SupermEND. Concert in "Gorbushka". In the film by Felix Zelinsky, in addition to concert filming, the viewer can expect inventive animation by Andrei Vradiy and Andrei Airapetov, as well as two videos by Nike Borzov - “Horse No. 2” (remix of “Species of Fish”) and “The Last Song”. At this time, work was already underway on the new album “Splinter”, the veil over which was first lifted by the maxi-single “NUS in Am”. As a b-side, it included the song “Day as Day” and Gleb ORLOV’s video for this song. As a result, “Day as Day” was not included in the album, but the clip settled for a long time in the charts of the Muz-TV and MTV-Russia television channels.

In the fall of 2002, when the song “She is the One” became one of the “main hits of the year”, and the video shot for it by director Gosha Taidze was in rotation on MTV-Russia, Nike finished work on the new album, a few days before began producing records by recording the track “Kingsize” in a duet with Dolphin.

In November 2002, Nike Borzov presented the album “Splinter,” which was recognized by many critics as the album of the year and a much more adult and serious creation of Nike. In support of the album, Nike went on a large-scale “Splinter Tour”, the end point of which was a large solo concert in Moscow.

On November 11, 2003, the premiere of Yuri Grymov’s play “Nirvana” took place, in which Nike played the role of Kurt Cobain. Nirvana became an absolute sensation in Moscow theater life. The performances were constantly sold out until April 2004. On February 7 and 8, 2004, Nirvana toured in St. Petersburg.

In December 2003, Nike Borzov’s radio single “For the Sake of Love” launched and soon took first place in the “Hit Parade of Two Capitals” radio “Maximum”. On December 29, on the MTV-Russia channel in the Expresso program, the premiere of the first Russian mash video “Sharp Horse” took place. Producer and director of MTV-Russia Alexey Muravyov and DJ Grove combined songs, video clips and recordings of concert performances of “Horse” by Nike Borzov and “Metko” by the group “Guests from the Future”.

In 2004, Nike Borzov worked as a producer on the album of his wife, Ruslana Borzova, as well as on his new project “Mutant Beavers,” defining the group’s music as “neo-punk with elements of trance.”

On November 18, 2005, the premiere of the joint project of artist Vadim Stashkevich, musician and composer Nike Borzov and the theater-studio “Mokhsira” - “Mysteries of Sagaalgan” took place at the Moscow club “Young Guard”.

On December 14, 2006, the presentation of the album “The Best INFECTION’s For Girls” by the group “Infection” took place at the Moscow club “Ikra”. In 2006, Infection turned twenty years old, while active public interest in the work of the first Russian trash-punk band was revived. Then Nike decided to publish a collection of the group's best songs from three studio albums. The presentation of the new record with the participation of the groups “Khuy Zabey”, “Time to Shit” and the revived “Infection” turned out to be a bright and unprecedented thrash festival.

On August 11, 2006, Nike posted a modest message on his personal blog: “I finished writing “Fresh Blood” at night.” Now it constantly sounds in my head. I think I’ll perform it tomorrow at the point.” The next day, the lyrics to an incredibly fresh song appeared in the magazine. Nike did not disappoint fans' expectations: it was first performed from the stage of the Tochka club on August 12, 2006. And she immediately attracted considerable attention from leading music sites. The appearance of “Fresh Blood” was noted in their reports by the portals Zvuki.ru, KM.ru, Club.ru and Tusovka.ru. At the same time, Tusovka.ru stated that “Borzov again sensed a taste for experimentation.” KM.ru noticed that the “explosive, bright” song was received with a bang by the audience. And the website Club.ru, represented by R. Sysoev, concluded: “It’s like he’s not aging. Continues to write songs that are not boring.” Almost a year has passed since its spontaneous premiere. But during this period the song seriously evolved musically. “Ever since the publication of Splinter, I’ve been looking for what I want to talk about now and how to sound,” explains Nike.” It looks like the long gestation phase has ended with an explosive renaissance - so far in the form of Fresh Blood. There is a feeling that Nike, after a long stay in an industrial zone, finally found himself on the shore of a raging ocean and took a deep breath.

On July 20, in the program “Hit Parade of Two Capitals” with Alexander Nuzhdin, the premiere of Nike’s new song took place on radio “MAXIMUM”. Starting next week, “Fresh Blood” became a member of the top twenty hit parade.

In September 2007, at a concert at the APELSIN club, Nike presented the audience with the song “Wind”, intended for the new album. This song, very close to the free elements, capable of tearing off roofs and destroying walls, burst into the hearts of fans.

October 2007 became fruitful for Infection: the group played as a headliner at the Ural Rock 2007 festival in the Yekaterinburg Teleclub.

On December 1, the Gorbushkin Dvor shopping center hosts a presentation of Ruslana Borzova’s debut album “Magic,” on which Nike worked as a music producer. In December, Infection’s song “My Country” is included in the cult collection “Like punks and all that... #8 and #9,” the presentation of which took place at the “Plan B” club. Before the New Year, “Infection” is finishing work on a DVD with the concert film “Best 4 girls,” which is based on fragments of the concert in “Ikra” in 2006, interviews with band members, archival recordings of the 90s and other rare footage.

In January 2008, Mikhail Abanin’s video for the song “Wind” was released: on January 19, the video premiered on the A1 TV channel, and the Internet version of the video soon appeared on the website of the Afisha magazine.

In February 2008, “Infection” distributed the album “Point” on the Internet for free, but was preparing to release it on CD.

On April 4, at a concert in Orange, Nike Borzov will present the animated film “The Player,” which is based on the song “Et.” Svetlana Andrianova and Svetlana Elchaninova, animators of the Re-animation project, admit that it was Nike’s music that inspired them to create this cartoon. The video is so harmoniously combined with the music that viewers accept “Player” as the official video for the song “Et”.

On April 11, the B2 club hosts the premiere of the first video in the entire history of the Infection group - a video for the song “From the mouth.”

On June 18, Infection will present the album “Point” on CD at the Gogol club, which it has been distributing for free on the Internet since February.

On July 11, the premiere of Nike Borzov’s song “Give me your sadness” took place on Radio Maximum. The song immediately entered the “Hit Parade of Two Capitals” and stayed on the chart for more than 10 weeks.

In November, Nike Borzov finishes work on the audiobook “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” by Hunter S. Thompson - Nike voiced it and wrote the original soundtrack for it. At the same time, work on a tribute to the group “Nautilus Pompilius” ends, for which Nike recorded the song “If you want” (“Who else”) from the album “Wings”.

December Nike narrated and composed the soundtrack for Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The audiobook has already been recorded and is ready for release.

Nike Borzov - popular and notorious performer, musician, producer, native Muscovite, born 05/23/1972

Childhood

Nike spent his childhood in constant confrontation with his parents. Growing up in the family of a rock musician quite famous in his circles, the boy was raised on high-quality music from childhood and inherited extraordinary creative abilities from his father.

Nike as a child

On the other hand, from an early age Nike showed a very complex freedom-loving character and flatly refused to do anything that was not interesting to him. School did not fit into his circle of interests at all - he preferred to spend all his time listening or playing music in the company of his friends.

As a teenager, the confrontation between him and his parents one fine day escalated so much that the boy simply left, slamming the door and did not appear at home for several days. The alarmed mother searched for her unlucky son through all her friends and finally found him in a very deplorable state. The teenager suffered from a severe hangover in the apartment of one of his friends.

His parents immediately took him home, and they had to promise that they would no longer restrict his personal and creative freedom. This was Nike’s first small victory, who did not fail to take advantage of such privileges and completely abandoned school, setting completely different priorities for himself.

The beginning of the way

In 1986, when the teenager was only 14 years old, he had already put together his first rock band with the provocative name “Infection”. However, all of his work is quite provocative and shocking - perhaps this is the secret of his popularity. This type of music appeals to rebels and those who do not want to live within the strict limits set by society.

The team did not last long, after 4 years the group broke up, and Nike began solo work. But during this time the guys managed to release two full-length albums and became quite famous.

The titles of the collections “Onanism” and the no less shocking “Hole for the Navel” speak for themselves. The music the guys played was quite unique and certainly not intended for the general public.

On his way

Nike began his solo work immediately after the breakup of the group. He has already gained popularity and fans in certain circles, and not only among young people. But he wanted more, believing that his texts conveyed the truth to people, he strove to ensure that as many people as possible thought about the meaning of life.

The peak of his scandalous fame was 1997, when Nike’s next solo album was released, which included the song “Horse”. The words “I’m a little horse” are familiar to almost everyone, but not everyone knows that in the original version of the song, which is present on the first batch of discs, there was the phrase “a horse carrying cocaine,” which is what actually caused all the fuss.

Critics immediately accused Borzov of openly promoting drugs, which is why he was banned from all television channels and radio. And although Nike himself tried to convey and explain the true meaning of the song, which is precisely the opposite, that a person turns himself into a horse, driving himself into drug slavery, censorship ensured that the word “cocaine” was removed from the lyrics of the song forever. After that, it became a truly national hit.

After this, the critics changed their anger to mercy. Borzov was allowed to give solo concerts in the capital, and in 2000 he first performed his program in the famous Yubilein, which seats tens of thousands of spectators. Needless to say, the hall was overcrowded, and tickets could not be obtained several months before the concert.

Now the singer, whom many still prefer to call a musical revolutionary, continues his work. His songs became less shocking and deeper in meaning. In addition, he shoots video clips and regularly takes part in various music programs.

Personal life

He always preferred not to advertise his personal life. However, in the early years it was so stormy that none of the passions managed to stay near him for long. The musician’s heart and his surname went to the former singer Ruslana Eremeeva, who gave birth to his daughter Victoria.

With daughter Victoria

But it is very difficult to constantly be with such a freedom-loving and extraordinary person. Soon after the birth of the child, the family broke up. However, this does not prevent the artist from maintaining a wonderful relationship with his daughter and touchingly taking care of her. He also tries not to conflict with his wife, so as not to traumatize the child. Ruslana has her own vocal school in Moscow.

– present, from parents – appears in the musician’s documents (in the passport and birth certificate). Borzov's creative career began in 1986 with the organization of the punk group "Infection", which existed until 1992 and recorded two albums: "Onanism" and "Hole for the Navel". From 1989 to this day, Borzov has been actively involved in the notorious project.

In 1992 Nike Borzov's first solo album was recorded. The second one follows in 1994.

1996 is marked by the anniversary album "Take Your Bitch in Your Hands", released in honor of the tenth anniversary of the group "Infection", where all the instruments, voices, etc. recorded by Borzov - no one else from the project was simply in the country.

From February 1996 to March 1997 Nike recorded and mixed his third solo album. The hit from this record is banned on many FM radio stations due to the presence of the word “cocaine” in it (“This is just at the time when the whole country is singing: “Ma-ma-ma-marijuana,” notes Nike).

In 1999 Nike Borzov signs a contract with the Snegiri Music company.

In January 2000 The album "Superman" is released (produced by Oleg Nesterov and Mikhail Gabolaev), which is noticeably different from everything Borzov has done before. In 1999, director Evgeniy Zvezdakov shot a video for the composition, with which the promotional campaign for the album starts. This clip is how the general public gets to know Nike Borzov. Following the ironic “Three Words,” a romantic composition begins, filmed by Andrei Airapetov, and when the video for the song (directed by Gleb Orlov) is released in the spring of 2000, the “hot-loving” young ladies cry as they watch the death of the “lilac boy.” Since 2000, Nike has taken part in the Maxidrom and Invasion festivals. Borzov demonstrates an enviable immunity to star fever and quickly becomes a celebrity on radio and television.

The Hour of the Horse has struck summer 2000. Nike Borzov records the song again, calls out to his colleagues - and in June a maxi-single is released on Snegiri. On it, a wide range of versions of “Horse” are presented (with and without the word “cocaine”, with Nike’s vocals, with female vocals, with Japanese vocals of the deaf and dumb “karaoke”, etc.), as well as the best remixes of the composition, created by "Types of Fish", "Netslov", Slava Finist.

Autumn 2000 Over the past year, two entire videos have been shot for the song (Guy Khanov and Boris Taloverov are filming “The Horse” itself, and Andrey Vradiy Andrey Airapetov is filming a remix of “Species of Fish,” both videos are animated). The premiere of the latest video took place in February 2001 on one of the largest portals on the Russian Internet - rambler.ru and collected a record number of viewers in the RuNet in two weeks. The clip has been downloaded more than 40,000 times.

In December 2000 To conclude the story of “Superman”, Borzov is releasing a collector’s edition “SupermanEND” at “Snegiri”. It is supplemented by "Horse", a previously unreleased composition, new remixes and several versions of already known songs. In 2001, “Quarrel” was included in the soundtrack to Roman Kachanov’s film “Down House”; the video for it was shot in February by Fyodor Bondarchuk, the leading actor in “DH”.

At the end of 2000, OM magazine, Izvestia newspaper and Maximum radio call Borzov performer of the year.

In March 2001 Nike's first big solo concert in the capital is a success - the legendary Gorbushka was chosen as the venue. Shortly before the concert, the song “Three Words” was discussed for two hours at a plenary session of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. In response, Nike personally invites the Speaker of the State Duma to his concert. At the same time, Borzov begins work on the material for the new album, recording the first song.

Video version of Nike Borzov's concert in the Palace of Culture named after. Gorbunov, published on Snegiry in May 2001. The film by Felix Zelinsky contains super hits, well-known and new Nike songs, the living breath of the audience, inventive animation by Andrei Vradiy and Andrei Airapetov, as well as two Borzov videos - “Horse N2” (remix of “Species of Fish”) and “The Last Song”.

The first work that lifts the curtain on Nike's upcoming album "Splinter" is the maxi-single. The maxi-single also includes Gleb Orlov’s video for the composition “Day as Day” (as well as the song itself as a b-side), which has been on the Muz-TV and MTV-Russia charts for a long time.

In November 2001 A video for the song, directed by Pavel Ruminov, was released.

In November 2002 Nike presents to the world, which is recognized by many critics as the record of the year and a much more adult and serious creation of Nike. The musician himself is confident that “Splinter” is a timeless album; people will return to this design more than once, and its release will allow Nike to realize even more interesting thoughts and discoveries.

In support of the album, Borzov goes on a large-scale “Splinter Tour”, the end point of which will be Nike’s big solo concert in Moscow at the Gorbunov House of Culture.

December 29th On the MTV channel in the "Expresso" program, the premiere of a unique video clip took place - the first Russian mash video "Sharp Horse". The main idea of ​​the avant-garde trend “mash”, which is fashionable in Europe, is a mixture of music, text and video of two completely different compositions. In November, MTV Russia announced a competition in which they invited viewers to send their versions of two different songs, on the basis of which the first Russian “mash” video could be created. In the options submitted to the competition, viewers most often suggested “crossing” Nike Borzov’s hits “Horse” and “Metko” by the group “Guests from the Future.” DJ Groove and MTV Russia producer and director Alexey Muravyov, who worked on the video, got to work. The result was a stunning explosive mixture, music from the composition “Guests from the Future” and vocals by Nike Borzov, and the video series was constructed from excerpts from clips of both performers and concert recordings of performances.
