Creative activity of Sergei Trofimov

Sergey From childhood he studied music - he attended music school, and at the age of seven he became a soloist of the Moscow State Boys' Choir at the Gnessin Institute. In this team future star He sang Russian chanson for ten years - from 1973 to 1983.

Literary talent Sergey discovered in himself as a teenager, after he fell from a tree during the game “Zarnitsa” and broke both arms. For almost three years, while the boy was in a cast, he composed poems, which, unable to write down, he dictated to friends.

After graduating from school, Sergey continued his studies at the Moscow State Institute of Culture, and then at the Moscow State Conservatory, at the department of theory and composition. In his free time from student studies, he began to earn extra money by playing different groups, including in ensembles of Moscow restaurants.

Restaurant performer Trofimov did not stay long - soon his collaboration with the Eroplan group began, which lasted several years: in 1987-1991 Sergey participated in the group’s concerts and in the recording of its album “Such early spring", which was never published. Then he began performing as a rock bard and gave his first solo concerts. In parallel with this Sergey wrote songs for pop artists.

In the early 1990s, spiritual quests led Sergei to Orthodoxy: he was baptized in order, in his words, “to become closer to Russia, to its traditions,” and even began to serve in the church, first as a singer, then as a choir director. There were even thoughts of becoming a monk, but the confessor Sergei did not give his blessing to this:

"My spiritual guide- Father Nikolai, he is now a monk on Valaam, said that you cannot be a monk if something new is constantly born in your soul. And I, indeed, wrote something all the time, composed music and lyrics. “God gave you talent, which means you must realize it, create and thus serve people. This is your purpose." He determined my choice - I firmly decided to become a singer, and in 1994, with the song ““That’s all!” - said the sage and sank into the water, “Trofim’s career began.”

Released in 1995 debut album Trophima entitled “The Aristocracy of the Garbage-1”, and a year later the disc “The Aristocracy of the Garbage-2” was released. The discs were met with interest and brought Sergei fame, which he himself, by his admission, “never really aspired to.”

In 1999 Trofimov made his debut as a film composer - this year the film “ Night crossroads", the music for which was written by Sergei.

The artist’s activities have been awarded a number of awards; he actively tours throughout the country and abroad and records albums.

Chansonnier Sergei Trofimov, known under the name Trofim, is now experiencing family drama. His godson, makeup artist Eric Indikov, found himself in a difficult situation. The 47-year-old man has not been able to see his beloved child for nine months. However, the singer said that he was initially against his godson’s marriage to his chosen one Olga, who is much younger than him.

Sergei said that Eric dreamed of a son, and when the child was finally born, the man was in seventh heaven. However, the family idyll was destroyed by jealousy - the makeup artist discovered frank correspondence his wife with another man.

“The relatives are on her side and are trying in every possible way to prevent Eric from meeting the child. And this is such a joy in life for him and it is wrong to deprive a person of happiness. Now the boy is three years old,” the singer said.

Moreover, Trofimov shared information that Olga wrote a statement against his godson, allegedly because he beat her. Due to the fact that the makeup artist is not allowed to to your own child, he feels lost and empty. The artist himself admired the paternal qualities of his godson.

Eric Indikov appeared in the “We Talk and Show” studio. He said that he has an incredible connection with the child. The boy adored his dad and gave him reason to be proud - at two and a half years old he could calmly count to ten, and also knew large number poems by heart.

Eric remembered that he had always dreamed of a simple girl. The models who surrounded him by occupation were greedy and not in the mood for family life. In 19-year-old Olga, he was captivated by her sincerity and incredible openness.

“She complained to me about her parents, how they tormented her at home, her mother almost put everyone under everyone in order to quickly kick her out of the house,” recalls the makeup artist.

Eric was finally glad that he had met a pure and unspoiled girl. Moreover, his mother approved of his choice of bride. The man dreamed of children, but for a long time Olga could not get pregnant. Only later did he find out that the reason was an abortion, which the girl had at the age of 14.

According to Eric, after the birth of the long-awaited child, Olga seemed to have been replaced. She did not care about her son, did not want to breastfeed the baby, and when he was two weeks old, she hired a nanny for the boy. Later, Eric discovered her correspondence with a dark-skinned young man, with whom she exchanged intimate photographs.

Olga herself appeared in the studio and tried to clarify the situation. She admitted that before taking the child from her father, she had not seen the baby for seven months. Unable to bear it, the woman used force to take her son away.

“I drove up in a car with my parents. As he was leaving the house, we approached. It so happened that he rushed into a fight, and at that time I took the child from the nanny,” Olga said.

However, Eric has a completely different view of this situation. According to the man, they hit him in the head and started kicking him.

Now the woman is demanding alimony and 300 thousand rubles, which she claims she spent on the child. However, Indikov admitted that he would not spare money to support the baby, but in return he wanted to see him. Olga’s mother, Marina Antipova, immediately after appearing in the studio attacked Eric and scratched his face. But she assures that the man raised his hand more than once, and therefore considers it normal to repay him in kind. // Photo: Shot from the “Talk and Show” program

The early years of Sergei Trofimov

Sergey Vyacheslavovich Trofimov was born in 1966 in the capital Soviet Union. That “goofy” image, which is now assigned to the singer thanks to his own efforts, in fact does not really correspond to reality: with early childhood Seryozha was a serious boy, passionate about music. From seven to seventeen years old, the future chansonnier was a soloist of the Moscow State Boys' Choir at Russian Academy music named after Gnesins.

After graduating from school, Sergei entered the Institute of Culture and the Moscow State Conservatory at the department of theory and composition. At the age of 19, in 1985, Sergei Trofimov became a diploma winner at the XII World Moscow Festival of Youth and Students. The difficult financial situation during his studies forces Sergei to go to work in one of the Moscow restaurants, but Trofimov does not work there for long.

The beginning of Trofim's creative career

In 1987, Sergei Trofimov met the musicians who were assembling the new rock band “Eroplan” and began collaborating with the group. For the next three years, Trofimov, as a rock bard, gives concerts and works on recording the Aeroplan album “Such an Early Spring.” By 1991, the album was recorded, but the group broke up and the record was not released.

Sergei doesn’t really like to remember the next three years of his life. It is unknown what made him, already a fairly successful musician working in promising group, abandon the almost completely finished album and leave the band for church service. For three years Trofimov served as a subdeacon (singing regent) in one of the Moscow churches. At the same time, Sergei did not stop his activities in show business, although he slightly changed its direction.

Since 1992, Trofimov has been collaborating as a musician with pop singer Svetlana Vladimirskaya, recording her debut album “My Boy.” The album was released in 1993. At the same time, Trofimov writes songs based on poetry own composition and is actively looking for a performer for them. The vocalist is in 1994: Sergei’s songs are performed by Alexander Ivanov, recording the album “The Sorrow of a Sinful Soul.”

"The Aristocracy of the Dumpster"

1994 becomes a turning point for Sergei Trofimov. Not all the songs written by Trofimov were then taken into work by Alexander Ivanov. The song “That’s all, the sage said and sank into the water” was rejected by Alexander, and Trofimov decides to show it to Stepan Razin. Razin liked the song and offers to help promote it. Having become Trofimov's producer, Razin convinces him of the need to continue working in this style. As a result, Sergei, within a month, creates hits “I fight like a fish”, “About advertising”, “In such darkness”, “Vasily”, “Bratva”, “Alkash”, which form the basis of the album “Aristocracy of the Garbage Garbage” (1995).
