Arkhipov Roman Igorevich
Date of birth: 11/09/1984
Place of birth: Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod).
In 1991, at the age of seven, he moved with his parents to Moscow, where he lives to this day.

He graduated from Moscow school No. 534, and mastered the 11th grade program on his own, passing exams as an external student.

From the age of six he studied at music school in piano class.

After school, I dreamed of enrolling in law school at the FSB Academy, but did not pass due to health reasons. He entered the Faculty of International Relations of the Moscow Humanitarian University and in June 2006 received a diploma in Regional Studies.

During my student years, I lived and studied in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA for about a year.

Roman has been interested in rock music since childhood. Favorite bands and performers include: Deep Purple, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Nazareth, White Snake, Velvet Revolvers, Guns’n’Roses, Alice Cooper, Gotthard, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Maroon 5. Among the classics, he prefers Mozart, especially the late one.

Once at the Star Factory, Roma said that he was going to bring a “heavier note” to the project. And this applies not only to the “factory” format - Roman is convinced that rock music should finally take its rightful place on national stage. This is what he plans to devote his creative career to.

Roman learned the intricacies of show business from the age of six, having traveled all over the country in touring group Tatyana Ovsienko, whose director is his father. It is not surprising that, constantly rotating in creative environment While communicating with singers and musicians, Roma himself studied music since childhood and sang a lot.

Losing my voice during adolescence, studying in high school and the hassle associated with preparing to enter a university, for some time pushed my dreams of the stage into the background. But at the age of 17, during a trip to America, Roman returned to music again.

Since then, the stage has become an integral part of his life. He works as a bass guitarist at Tatiana Ovsienko’s concerts and appears in the “Summer” video for her duet with Viktor Saltykov. As a member of the student council of the Faculty of International Relations of Moscow State University, he meets the head creative group Tamara Alexandrovna Rusakova and becomes a regular participant in university concerts.

Realizing the need to gain experience working on the professional stage, Roman takes part in the castings of the Star Factory project three times. And at the beginning of 2006, luck smiled on him along this path: he found himself among the “manufacturers” of the sixth convocation - the wards of Viktor Drobysh.

The four months spent on the project became not only a landmark, but also an unusually productive period in creative career Romana. At first, he did not look too confident compared to his neighbors in the Star House, many of whom, even before joining the project, had considerable stage experience and special vocal education. However, thanks to his talent and efficiency, he managed not only not to get lost against their background, but also to make a big qualitative leap both vocally and in terms of emancipation on stage, revealing a new side from concert to concert and gaining professionalism.

His “factory” piggy bank contains four solo songs - a record that not a single participant of “Factory-6” was able to break, as well as duets with Vladimir Kuzmin (“Pharm of Your Hope”) and Alexander Ivanov (“Dreams”), Sergei Trofimov ( “Wind in the Head”) and Oleg Gazmanov (“Rehearsal for Separation”), Valeria (“ Black and white color"") and Abraham Russo (“Through Love”), Andrei Sapunov (“Ringing”) and Alexey Belov (“Tell Me Why”); with the groups “Roots” (“25th floor”), “Earthlings” (“Borsalino”), “Tokyo” (“Who am I without you”), “City 312” (“Out of reach”) and Gotthard (“Heaven” ). In addition, in many numbers Roman played the guitar, participated in extras and backing vocals, and also sang as part of a group that later received the name “Chelsea”. One of the solo songs, “Me and You,” was included in the rotation of “Russian Radio” and a number of other radio stations even before the end of the project.

Whatever Roman sang at the Factory - pop or chanson - he did not try to copy the manner and style popular artists, remaining true to his idea of ​​adding “heavier notes” to the project format. However, he was most able to reveal himself in rock numbers. Already his first rock duet with the Swiss group Gotthard on the song “Heaven” brought Roman recognition from viewers of Channel One and MTV. For eight weeks, the duo occupied the first line of the MusicBox channel chart, for which Roman was awarded a personalized disc. The musicians of the Gotthard band themselves were so pleased with the result that they invited Roman to repeat joint performance at the Tochka club, and also gave him one of their songs (“Lift U Up”), which he performed on the factory stage as his second solo number.
After such success, the leader of the Gorky Park group Alexei Belov drew attention to the young rock performer, who wrote the compositions “I Won’t Forget” and “Forgive” especially for Roman. WITH latest novel left the “Star Factory” just before the finale. But this departure was not a defeat! “But rock is still alive!” - he said in his farewell speech, confirming that he managed to accomplish his plan - to break the pop format of the project. Confirmation of this is the songs of the Gotthard group, with which Roman Arkhipov (and not the finalists of the project) closed the final concert at the Olimpiysky.

After the end of the project, Roman, like other “manufacturers”, signed a contract with the production center of Viktor Drobysh and tour"Star Factory - 6" is sent as a member of the Chelsea group. In addition to him, the team includes Arseny Borodin, Denis Petrov and Alexey Korzin. The group quickly gains popularity, their songs occupy the top of the charts. Chelsea end the fateful year 2006 with the title of “ best group of the year", having in its baggage the "Golden Gramophone" for the song "Someone else's Bride", a video for the composition "The Most Favorite" and debut album, which included their songs from the Star Factory era, including the first solo Novel "Me and You".

The group is currently active concert activities, is working on creating a new album, collaborating with popular Russian performers(in particular, with Philip Kirkorov).

However, despite the group's success, Roman still dreams of solo career and plans to create his own rock project.

He loves to travel. He went abroad for the first time in 1995 in the United Arab Emirates. This was followed by Greece (Crete), Israel (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem), Italy (Venice, Verona), Egypt, Cyprus (Aionapa), Vietnam. For about a year, Roma lived in the USA (Las Vegas), where he studied and worked part-time in a Russian restaurant. From other countries and cities dreams of visiting Paris and South Africa. But to the question “Where would you like to live?” firmly answers: “It’s good to relax abroad, go there for a short period of time, but I want to live in Moscow. Well, basically, I live here.”

Studying English and Spanish.

In addition to keyboards, he plays bass guitar. According to eyewitnesses, he mastered the drum kit in one night, keeping the holiday village awake until the morning.

Favorite animal is scorpion.

He prefers tennis as a sport. If there free time, visits Gym. Dreams of learning to snowboard or ski.

Favorite colors are black, white and purple.

He prefers expensive and beautiful branded clothing, although he knows how to turn a jacket purchased at the market into a work of hand-made art by sewing scorpions on it. He likes to combine sports and classic clothes with extravagant elements in a rocker style: a long black raincoat, leather pants, metal bracelets and rings on his hands, massive buckles, inscriptions in the rock and roll spirit. But sometimes you just don’t recognize him! Once in his 2nd year, Roma, dressed in blue trousers, a women's jacket and with a cigar in his hands, stood in the company of two classmates in front of the Prague Embassy, ​​holding a blue bag of one of them in his hands. Men walked past them with an exclamation: “Oooh, girls!”, to which Roma indignantly replied: “What girls!?”

Roman is blond from birth curly hair and categorically does not agree to cut them! Although, there were times when teenager Roma shaved his head.

Loves to work in Photoshop. For some time, this hobby even turned into work.

Roman is a very sociable person, loves to communicate with the most different people. Supports friendly relations with Tatyana Ovsienko and Olga Kormukhina, Alexey Belov and Alexander Erokhin (drummer of “Lube”), musicians of the groups Gotthard and Nazareth, as well as with many other colleagues “in the shop”.

He does not like to discuss his personal life. All we know for sure is that he is not married. Whenever possible, she takes part in raising Nikita’s younger brother, the German shepherd Alice, angry cat and two squirrels.

From birth, Roman is blond with curly hair and categorically refuses to cut it! Although, there were times when teenager Roma shaved his head.

Loves to work in Photoshop. For some time, this hobby even turned into work.

Roman is a very sociable person and loves to communicate with a variety of people. Maintains friendly relations with Tatyana Ovsienko and Olga Kormukhina, Alexey Belov and Alexander Erokhin (drummer of “Lube”), musicians of the groups Gotthard and Nazareth, as well as with many other colleagues “in the shop”.

He does not like to discuss his personal life. All we know for sure is that he is not married. Whenever possible, he takes part in raising his younger brother Nikita, the German shepherd Alice, an evil cat and two squirrels.

The public's favorite from the last Star Factory, Roman Arkhipov, recently became the hero of a Mexican TV series. True, passions flared up not on the screen, but in real life. Quite unexpectedly, it turned out that the singer, in addition to his two-year-old brother Nikita, also has a sister, whose existence Roman did not suspect.

In order not to confuse the reader, I will tell you in order. Arkhipov was, perhaps, the only “manufacturer” around whom an incredible number of rumors circulated. They said, for example, that he is the son of Viktor Drobysh himself. In fact, Roman is the son of Tatyana Ovsienko’s director, Igor Arkhipov. To Roman’s credit, it should be noted that no one ever protected him.

He is self-sufficient and very interesting person. Having lived, studied and worked in America for three years, Arkhipov Jr. acquired serious connections in the local show business. Suffice it to say that his friends include Aerosmith, popular group"Gotthard", "Nazareth" soloist Dan McCafferty and other celebrities. It was thanks to Roman that Ovsienko filmed her video for “Nazareth,” but this is true, by the way.

It’s no wonder that girls began to go crazy for the charming and talented Arkhipov as soon as they saw him at the Factory. Ironically, in faraway San Francisco, a girl named Nicole had her eye on him.

... When Nicole told her mother that she wanted to go to Russia and definitely look at her idol, the woman was alarmed and decided to tell the girl the truth.

As it turned out, many years ago this lady, now a US citizen, had an affair with Igor Arkhipov. Igor at that time was already married (well, who isn’t?) and was even expecting the appearance of his first child, that is, our Roman. The couple had to break up. Igor’s beloved left for America, where after some time Nicole was born. The girl is only eight months younger than Roman.

Igor Arkhipov, of course, knew about the existence illegitimate daughter and maintained contact with America, but did not traumatize his family in Russia with this information. As they say, what happened was.

Nicole, of course, was very upset when she learned that she had fallen in love with stepbrother, but did not give up her intention to find Roman. Their touching meeting took place recently in Sochi, where the “Star Factory” came on a reporting tour.

At first, Roman, naturally, did not believe the girl’s words, mistaking her for a fan. They sat away from prying eyes, in a closed cafe. Being a reasonable person, Roman did not wonder whether the new acquaintance was lying or not, and simply dialed his father’s number. Igor confirmed that Nicole was right and told his son a love story with Nicole’s mother.

To his father’s surprise, Roman did not become nervous, but, on the contrary, reacted to the situation with understanding and even regret days gone by. Brother and sister immediately found many topics to talk about.

Already saying goodbye, the young people promised to call each other and come to visit each other. But how Igor Arkhipov’s wife reacted to this suddenly revealed secret, history is silent...

Alena Snezhinskaya

The Russian stage is updated so often that it is sometimes difficult to remember an artist who was at the peak of popularity just a few months ago. In such conditions, it is difficult for performers to stay afloat, because every day new names appear that are capable of great achievements.

In order to really be remembered by listeners on the good side and not lose recognition even after leaving the top of the stage, you need to do something unusual, new and of the highest quality. At one time, such music was written by a well-known musical composition- Chelsea group.

The group was very popular, and the words of their songs sounded in the head of almost every person. Fame came to the guys quite soon early age, however, it cannot be said that they did not deserve it. It all started with the “Star Factory” - a project that gave birth to a considerable number of young artists who are popular to this day.

Back then, unknown guys from the provinces gathered under the leadership of experienced producer Viktor Drobysh, who saw promise in them and made the right decision. It was he who came up with the idea of ​​uniting into one group of people who, at first glance, do not fit together at all, because they were all engaged in different genres music.

Compound

The Chelsea group changed its lineup only once. The first composition of the group included four people: Arseny Borodin (17 years old, mainly engaged in soul music), Denis Petrov (21 years old, rapping), Alexey Korzin (19 years old, fond of r"n"b music) and Roman Arkhipov (21 years old, rapping). preferred rock music). The Chelsea group assembled its first lineup at the Star Factory. The combination of these young people turned out to be surprisingly successful, and they performed successfully on the project, writing several hits, with which they later went on a tour of Russia, gathering crowds of fans at their concerts.

The composition of the Chelsea group was quite diverse. Each member of the group is talented in their own way and deserves special attention. Therefore, it is worth talking about them in more detail.

Denis Petrov

The official place of birth is a small town called Mozdok. Immediately after his birth, his parents moved to Vladikavkaz, so his childhood and youth were spent there.

The future lead singer of the Chelsea group studied in regular gymnasium number 5 in Vladikavkaz. After graduating from school, he entered the university to study journalism. Denis was actively involved in this profession for some time. He worked as a correspondent and compiled reports for Vesti.

One of the main hobbies in the artist’s life was football. Denis was very active in it, but later chose a musical career.

Speaking about musical interests, it is worth noting Denis Petrov’s love for the soloist legendary group Queen Freddie Mercury. Russian artist considers the British musician the best in the history of music.

Denis now lives in St. Petersburg, where he moved quite a long time ago. He is a journalist by training and in the first years of his life in northern capital studied at the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University.

Roman was the oldest member of the Chelsea group; at the time of the creation of the team he was 21 years old. But he always openly stated that he is a fan of rock music and wants to perform in this genre. However, he was the vocalist in the group.

The first composition of the group consisted of four people, among whom was Roman. However, it was he who was the first to leave the group, after which the Chelsea group changed its composition, and only three people remained. It was his personal decision. Despite how successful the Chelsea group was, Roman Arkhipov left the lineup consciously and on a friendly note.

Arseny Borodin

Arseny was born in the city of Barnaul on December 13, 1988. His father had enough famous musician, so the boy was surrounded by an atmosphere of music and creativity from childhood.

Arseny was the youngest member of the group. At the age of 17, when he was still in school, the future artist decides to take part in the casting for the “Star Factory” project, which he successfully passes and is among the participants. This began the musical career of Alexei Borodin.

Alexey Korzin

Date of birth: May 18, 1986. On musical career His mother insisted on his son, since his father wanted to send Alexei to the martial arts section. At an early age, the future singer goes to music school.
