In the 1990s. Name singer Liki Star was generally known not so much because of her work, but because of the numerous scandals in which she became a participant: the first candid video, the first photo shoot for Playboy magazine, shocking images on stage, affairs with famous singers and producers, including married ones, refusal to work with Alla Pugacheva, etc. In the early 2000s. Lika Star suddenly disappeared from the screens, and later it became known that she moved to Italy, where she started new life, has nothing to do with show business.

Lika Pavlova was born in 1972 in Moscow. to his unusual name she owes it to her father, who decided to name his daughter in honor of the muse of Chekhov’s favorite writer, Lika Mizinova. Lika has been interested in music since childhood, and at the age of 15 she met the aspiring DJ Vladimir Fonarev and began to master the work of the remote control. So she became one of the first and youngest female DJ in Russia.

In the early 1990s. she began singing and performing on stage under the pseudonym Lika Star. Together with producer Sergei Obukhov, they decided to create a shocking and scandalous image, which at that time was too bold and frank. One of the first artists, Lika Star, posed nude for the Russian version of Playboy magazine; in 1994, she released a very explicit video for the song “Let it will rain”, which was shot for her by the aspiring director Fyodor Bondarchuk. Her song “Lonely Moon” became a real super hit.

In 1995, the singer married businessman Alexei Mamontov and gave birth to his son Artemy. The family had to experience all the horrors of the rampant banditry of the 1990s: they tried to kidnap her husband, Lika had to hide with her son.

At one time, Lika Star was Alla Pugacheva’s favorite; the diva even invited her to her “Christmas meetings.” Later, Lika said that Pugacheva wanted to make her her successor, star No. 1, and invited her to her theater. However, she did not accept the offer: “ I refused because I’m already number one! I'd rather be nothing than a puppet in the hands of Pugacheva!" However, it was said that the real reason Their relationship was cooled by Lika’s stormy romance with Vladimir Presnyakov, Pugacheva’s son-in-law. And supposedly it was after this that she solo career ended at the peak of popularity. However, the singer herself does not confirm these rumors, although she does not deny her romances. She was also credited with close relationships with Fyodor Bondarchuk and Ilya Lagutenko.

In the early 2000s. Lika Star disappeared from the screens. Then they said that Pugacheva, in retaliation, “blocked” her path to show business, but later it turned out that the singer married an Italian, the owner of the furniture chain Angelo Seci, and moved to him on the island of Sardinia. In 2004, her daughter Allegrina was born, and in 2011, her son Mark. Since then, the singer has not performed any more solo career and devoted herself completely to her family: “ I just realized that I had been around the wrong people for a very long time, loved the wrong ones. The values ​​they offered me were stupid - all this star life threatening loneliness... I have succeeded both as an artist and as a woman. The most important thing has already been done: I am a mother, and it sounds proud. In my opinion more beautiful than a woman who gave birth, there is nothing in the world».

In her interviews, Lika Star has repeatedly stated that she does not regret leaving the stage at all - she says that after moving to Sardinia she began a new life, in no way connected with show business, which she is very happy about. Now she calls herself a person outside the party: “ Amazing metamorphoses took place in my mind. I haven’t considered myself a star for a long time, and in fact, have I ever been one? Now it seems to me that all this happened in another life and on another planet... Many things seem to me, after the passage of time, absurd and funny, and life in the VIP style is unusual for my character. Yes, being famous is sometimes very convenient; many doors open to you just because you are a star. And you quickly get used to it. But the worst thing in this situation is that you cease to belong to yourself, not immediately, day after day your popularity makes you dependent on it. And there are many, many BUTs!!! It was precisely at the moment when I realized that I depended on these Buts - I jumped off this Titanic! And she sailed to the island of Sardinia and settled on it far from success!»

Russian singer, DJ and producer, infamous in the 1990s.

Lika Star(real name Lika Pavlova) was born in the fall of 1973. Her father named her in honor of Lika Mizinova, the lover of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

The future pop star graduated from school with in-depth study of the French language and received the title of Master of Sports in swimming. She always wanted to be the center of public attention, so she was one of the first to attend the opening of the dance floor of the Orion cinema.

The creative path of Lika Star

Fifteen-year-old Lika met Vladimir Fonarev, future star discos He became her first great love and helped me take a step towards recognition by entrusting me with my DJ console.

Lika Star: “- Since I was six years old, I was sitting in front of the TV, and some “Song of the Year” was on, and our stars were coming out... And I have a sister, Christina... And I say: “Christina, the time will come when I will be better, than all of them. I’ll be better, you’ll see.” She gave me shchelbans right away: “Where are you going?” And I said: “You’ll see.”

Soon, DJ Lika began doing vocals and promoting the popular hip-hop trend in the West. Under the direction of the producer Sergei Obukhov she released her debut single « BBC taxi", followed by the album "Rap".

In the early 1990s compositions Faces Star produced the effect of an exploding bomb. It was she who was among the first naked Russian stars on the cover Playboy magazine Even Alla Pugacheva herself liked the scandalous and shocking singer, but things did not go further than participation in Christmas meetings:

Pugacheva suggested: “Go to my theater - you will be number one in this country!” But I refused, because I’m already number one! I'd rather be nothing than a puppet in the hands of Pugacheva! I am a person. One that must be brought down before it can be raised. It’s worse than what’s been written about me, and you can’t think of anything - I’m a drug addict, a zoophile, and a lesbian... Mom clutched her heart: “How can I look people in the eyes?!” She works at the Lithuanian Embassy, ​​and well-wishers slipped these publications onto the ambassador’s desk... So nothing can spoil me. And then, most journalists ask irrelevant questions: no one asks about music, everyone is only interested in who I’m sleeping with.

The last straw in the relationship scandalous singer and Alla Pugacheva became that Lika Star did not hide her close connection with the Diva’s son-in-law, Vladimir Presnyakov.

In 1994, Lika shot a very frank video for the composition "Let it rain". The director of the video was the then little-known Fyodor Bondarchuk.

A year later, she decided to devote herself to her newborn son, but this was not part of the plans of producer Sergei Obukhov. To promote the new album « fallen angel» A lot of money was invested, and when it came to gang warfare, all rights to sell five thousand discs went to Lika.

The most important thing has already been done: I am a mother, and it sounds proud. In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful in the world than a woman who has given birth.

Yes, being famous is sometimes very convenient; many doors open to you just because you are a star. And you quickly get used to it. But the worst thing in this situation is that you cease to belong to yourself, not immediately, day after day your popularity makes you dependent on it. And there are many, many “buts”!

And the fact that you are smart, wise and patient, all our friends and relatives know this! I love you, my angel!” - she does not hide her feelings for her husband.

Let us note that Lika Star, although she does not perform, does not sit idly by. She organizes food tours to Sardinia.

Future singer Lika Pavlova was born on September 3, 1973 in Moscow. This is her real name. The writer dad named his daughter in honor of the Chekhov heroine Lika Mizinova. Although Lika She was not a good girl, but she was still seriously involved in swimming, receiving the title of Master of Sports, and studied at a French special school.

It is interesting that Lena Perova (ex-Lyceum and Amega) studied at the same school, from whom Lika Pavlova was a pioneer leader. When Lika was 14, she left big sports, and at 15, at one of the first Moscow discos, she met the future dance floor star, and then aspiring DJ Lantern (Vladimir Fonarev). As he says now Lika, an affair happened between them, moreover, first love. It was Lantern who introduced his girlfriend to work at the remote control: then, at the dawn of domestic show business, it was not spinning vinyl, but manipulating tapes. Lika got involved and became almost the first and almost the youngest female DJ in Moscow and Russia. She left her last name for friends and family and took the then fashionable pseudonym MC, which means “master of ceremonies.”

Slowly Lika The MC began to try to rap and sing, and it was in this capacity that producer Sergei Obukhov liked it. He was one of the first (along with Igor Siliverstov and Sergei Lisovsky) to promote youth dance music in Russia. Likin's debut hit was the song "BBC Taxi". The song began to be played on the radio and demanded in the first Moscow clubs. In 1993, her first album “Rap” was released, criticized by critics for its primitive lyrics. However, it was then Lika Star(as she now calls herself) received an invitation from Alla Pugacheva to take part in the next “Christmas meetings”. The main horror for the 20-year-old “starlet” was the costume proposed for the performance by Valentin Yudashkin. Lika I just burst into tears, realized that this wouldn’t work, and spent the whole night together with my mother building a concert costume with CDs sewn on.

In 1993 Lika has begun recording a new album, called "Fallen Angel" in honor of the duet Lika included in it Star and Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. Musicians from the group Action Direct took part in the work on the album. At first, the recording was carried out at the studio of Alla Pugacheva (who patronized the singer), but at some point Lika was asked to clear the room. According to rumors, ABP found out about the affair between the singer and her then son-in-law Presnyakov Jr. and was terribly outraged. Work on the album had to be completed at another studio; its presentation took place at the end of 1994.

1995 began with a war. In an interview in 1994. Lika mentioned her friend who gave birth to a son: “I even envied her a little calm life, such a wonderful child.” Soon Lika as if by magic magic wand, met a young businessman Alexei Mamontov and after some time realized that she was pregnant. She announced this to her producer Sergei Obukhov when she was already in her sixth month: she said that she could no longer perform and it was time for her to retire. maternity leave. The difficulty, at least according to Mr. Obukhov, was that a lot of money was invested in the promotion and release of the album “Fallen Angel,” which had to be returned in money. The producer expected to receive money to pay off debts from a large tour, the route of which was already planned. So the news of pregnancy fell on Sergei Obukhov out of the blue, and his anger was understandable. First Lika said that the father of her child is ready to compensate for material damage, but the amount named by the producer was not included in the plans of the young family: in an interview Lika reported that she was billed for 126 thousand dollars. As a result of long proceedings (there were rumors almost of gang warfare between the parties), Lika was given away the entire circulation of her album “Fallen Angel” in the amount of about 4,000 copies. The singer, as a matter of principle, decided not to sell the discs, but stores them on the balcony and gradually gives them away.

Soon Lika became a mother - she gave birth to a son, Artem. In 1996, having recovered from childbirth, the singer finally reciprocated the Russian-language version of Playboy magazine and went with photographers to the Bahamas, where an erotic photo shoot took place. In the same year, a video was shot for the first single of the future album - the song “Is there anything more than love?” In addition to Lika herself, her one-and-a-half-year-old son also starred in the video. The maxi-single “Lonely Moon” was released as an audio supplement to the magazine “OM” (there were rumors about several novels by Lika in the editorial office of this publication), the vampire video for this song turned out to be very vivid. The album "More Than Love" was released in January 1997 and was recognized by critics as very, if not too advanced.

In 1998 Lika became the owner of her own AS-Studio (Analog Sound Studio), where the singer was going to record a new album and help young performers as a producer. But on August 16, Lika experienced real grief - the singer’s mother suddenly died of cancer at the age of 49. Naturally, there was no question of any kind of party life after such a loss, but with redoubled energy Lika began recording songs for a new album. The period of calm lasted almost a year. At the end of 1999 Lika begins recording new songs and at the same time helps Dmitry Postovalov (Arrival) in work on the new project “Demo”: he writes several compositions, which he finally signs with his real name and surname - Lika Pavlova.

His own album, entitled “I”, was recorded with the participation of Arrival and Action Direct, and its first sign was the single and video “Fall”. With single Lika became original, remembering her DJ youth and releasing not a CD or cassette, but vinyl record with several song options. The clip was filmed by director Philip Yankovsky and aired in June.

Recently new scandal from Lika's camp pleased show business fans - the Naked Truth project, in the creation of which ex-DJ took part Lika, DJ Groove and DJ Mutabor, shocked with revelations, embodied in juicy and biting incorrect Russian language, telling about the miracles happening in show business. The single, as usual, was presented on the radio only once, after which it was banned forever; when performed live in the summer, it shocked the visuals, supplemented by live elements of pornography. The Naked Truth project threatens to spread from representatives of show business to other professions.

Your husband and I had an affair. Keep an eye on him, please. And hide the suitcases, otherwise your storyteller is trying to take them out of the house!” Star said.

Speaking about her relationship with Bondarchuk, Lika called the director a “storyteller”: he swore his love all the time and promised to leave his wife, but things didn’t go beyond talk. And after the breakup, Fedor completely exposed her as a “sexual maniac” who should be feared. At the same time, she does not feel guilty: “I was a free woman.
