I decided to leave Lesopoval in 2008after the death of its founder Michael Tanich. By that time, the popularity of the team was slowly fading away, there were fewer and fewer concerts, and the halls were incomplete. It was felt that "Lesopoval" has become obsolete. And I understood: it's time to leave. Yes, and Kate lined ...
I told Seryozha: "If you want to continue working in this team, work. But there is no future here." For which I ultimately paid.Of course.When I started my solo career, I had to face a huge number of difficulties that Tanich had previously solved. Clients called him, he agreed on venues, dates. But here I had to organize everything myself. Where to run, who to call, where to start? That's when I blurted out to Katya in the heat of the moment that it was her fault that I was left without work.To which I remarked: "In time, you will thank me again."Then it was decided that Katya would become my director. She somehow quickly grabbed everything, met the right people, began to build relationships ...Our first solo concert took place in just a few days.half a year. And I liked it all so much! I realized that this was my calling. When I was still young, I went on tour with Seryozha and Lesopoval, I saw how their director cheated them…Now I understand that the wife director is the perfectoption. Who can I trust one hundred percent, if not my wife? They say that the director receives from the artist 10% of the proceeds from the concert. I admit, even for half the fee, I would not do it. You constantly depend on the people who call. You have no personal time. Katka is just a heroine! And from the very beginning she believed that everything would be fine. And I doubted even after the concerts went. Because it is very difficult to achieve popularity for the second time and it is rare for anyone. After all, everybody involuntarily compares you with who you were before: the lead singer of Lesopoval. And this trail stretches for many years. However, now I am already perceived as a separate creative unit.

In order to go shopping alone, you have to come up with some good reason. But I can't lie and I don't want to. So we even go shopping together. And we use one phone for both of us. Both for work and for personal matters. Seryozha's friends call me and ask me to call him to the phone.As a last resort, I have a tablet, so if Katya and I suddenly split up, I can write her a message from it.
