Vladimir Levkin about family and work: interview 2017

- I do not read horoscopes. Why hammer their heads and look for hidden meaning in numbers? For me there is no subjunctive mood. I live here and now. Today there is a park, fine weather, a family nearby, and nothing more is needed. Fate would thank first of all for the fact that I'm just alive (the artist defeated cancer twice.) - Note: "Antennas"). And for a meeting with Maruska, children, for the fact that my mother and I are true friends and spectators. And if the figures, then this year I also have 35 years of creative work.Maroussia: "My husband often talks about the fact that we met late, and if earlier, we would now have three children. I believe that everything is ahead. No wonder they say that in 50 years, life is just beginning. " Photo: Sergey Dzhevakhashvili

Behind the Scenes Child

– My eldest daughter Victoria is 24 years old.She is the head of PR at the Moscow Cultural Center "Northern Chertanovo". Unfortunately, I missed her entire childhood because I was touring with "Na-na" for 10-11 months. Vika's mother Marina and I parted ways early. I am grateful to her family for raising a wonderful person. I am proud of Vika! And now I try to catch every moment with Nika. For example, Marusya and I take her to kindergarten on a schedule: she does it for a month, and I do it for a month. But work, of course, makes adjustments, and I can't always be there.- Nick appeared when Volodya was already ripe forchild. All these diapers, the first teeth, the steps of Nikushi, he found and was in euphoria. He said: "God, so with all the children? It was necessary to give birth more! "But he is strict. Sometimes I start to turn into a child when my husband brings up: "Do not jump here!" "Why? - I ask. "You used to jump on your own in bed on your own." He begins to remember that yes, it was the case. And this is the childhood, when people can do what they want. Volodya thinks about it and understands that I'm right."I give my daughters a good birthday, and an older one, and a younger one." But Nicky does not manage to twist the ropes from me. It should grow on its own and understand that sometimes you have to make your own decision, and let the father work. You do not have to touch it for a while and get dressed, for example, without help. She does it great, but not fast. But when I say to her: "You have 10 minutes. Do not have time to get ready, I will not take it with me, "she immediately does everything. Nika goes with Mom and Dad on tour, but the main thing is to watch her, otherwise she will run out the microphones.- I do not remember myself at the age of my daughter. And she, I think, will remember everything, because each of her steps Marusya takes pictures. Photo: Sergey Dzhevakhashvili

Family trio

- Nika is not developed for years. I think she took her discretion from Sasha's grandfather - Volodya's dad. He was a military, erudite and intelligent person. Always admired him. But the "lighter" in it from me. If I'm a little girl went somewhere with relatives, then I went to the train and started to greet everyone with all, sing songs. There was a case when in two years my mother lost me on a holiday. I then went on stage with an improvised microphone during the concert and sang Sofia Rothar: "People, I ask, quietly, quietly ..." Naturally, I was quickly found. Nike was not even two years old when she made her way to us on stage in Lithuania. She grabbed me with a tenacious hand, took out the microphone and let me sing, although I could not really speak at that time.- There is such a theory: if you give the child to listen to good music while he is still in the womb, then the baby will remember it and then easier to repeat it. Marousia, when she waited for her daughter, mostly listened to my songs. She went to the stage with me in the Kremlin, the pregnant woman went out, so we can say that then Nika in the stomach was kicking off from what she wanted to sing. My daughter, who do you want to become now? N .: - Teacher at school, I will teach the little ones.- And more recently dreamed of being an artist of a circus. Every week something new. Nika will perform at my jubilee concert together with the pupils of the production center "Imena Prodakshn". She practically knows all my songs and Marusiny. I often celebrated birthdays on stage. I think that this is a good tradition and an occasion to see those who wanted to come to you. Next to me on this day will be people with whom I recently closely cooperate: the singer Utah, "Angels of Hope" - a dance group of talented children with hearing impairment, actor and singer Misha Mamaev, naturally, Maroussia. Yesterday our new song "Summer romance" was released. I composed music about twenty years ago. But the text did not come to mind, but then came. But do not think: I do not write songs to my wife, there are many talented composers for this.- When I look at Nick, I see my mother in it. So it was with the eldest daughter. Sometimes in a piece I call the younger Raissa Ivanovna. Just one person! Photo: Sergey Dzhevakhashvili

You don't need money for a holiday

- When someone asks about why I suddenlyI began to sing, I answered that I always did it, but not everyone knew me before Volodya. I am grateful to my husband for bringing me to a new level and a great stage. Sometimes I watch music channels and understand that we with him, probably, in many ways not in the format now. Volodya always seeks to show good music, poems, and not something else. I sometimes so want to write on our poster: come to the concert, excuse me, the pop will not be. I, like the mother of a little girl who absorbs everything like a sponge, would not want it to be the norm for her when she goes out in her underwear and sings songs about love.- Now many people are mistaken, thinking that oneveryone decides money. No, not all. There are other things. Everything changes, and fashion for music as well. But you can not escape from the fact that some part of the audience likes you, but some do not.- I think you don't need to have a lot of money toto be happy or to have a party. You need imagination. On March 3, we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. I took out the very same veil I wore when I got married. And I wore it all evening, wherever Volodya and I went: we caught a taxi, walked around the city. And since the weather was still cold, it looked very strange. I chose a good husband. He is the last romantic. He invited me to a restaurant, from the windows of which you can see almost all of Moscow. We didn’t invite any special guests. Volodya and I didn’t plan anything special. And it’s always like that. People are amazed at this. Someone organizes a big concert and starts thinking everything through a year in advance. But we, apparently, are not businessmen. We are both creative people, we don’t know how to calculate mathematical moves. Maybe this is bad, but we enjoy the fact that we are simply living.
