Music

Nikita Alekseev - Ukrainian singer, born in 1993 in the city of Kyiv. Today Nikita is 22 years old, but he is already an accomplished singer who is listened to by thousands of music lovers. For some music fans, Nikita Alekseev is better known as Alekseev. His song Drunken Sun is a real hit that is listened to by both adults and children. Nikita is a participant in the Ukrainian project Voice of the Country. In general, he is a talented performer and each of his songs is a small masterpiece.
At the age of six months, he left Kyiv and moved with his parents to Chita, but the family lived there for only two years and returned to their homeland.
So in given time The guy lives in Kyiv.
Nikita had a very happy childhood. All his friends live in the same city with him, and his first love happened there. His parents are doctors. There were no musicians in the family.
Music entered his life when the guy was only ten years old. His teacher was Konstantin Pona. This man taught him to feel and understand the song, and instilled in him a boundless love for signature music.
I remember at the age of 12 I had a performance at school, I sang the song “We are the champions” by Queen. My mother then gave me these snow-white, very beautiful pants, especially for this performance, and at the end of my act I rode on my knees to the front of the stage. Of course, the surface of the parquet floor on the stage was covered with mastic, as is always the case in schools. That's how I dressed the first one and last time these beautiful trousers.
After graduating from school, Nikita entered the university to study marketing. At one time it seemed to the guy that this was his calling, at that time he had a period of uncertainty, he stopped believing in himself, in his talent. Although he understood perfectly well that seminars on the advertising business did not bring him any pleasure. But he skipped to evening rehearsals with the group.
At this time, he and his friends created the Mova group. He performed as a soloist and wrote music in it.
For Nikita, his friends and family are his environment, without which it is impossible to become a full-fledged person. This is support, spiritual closeness, the right answer to the main questions in life, boundless love. I thank God for my loved ones; if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t exist.
I tried my luck at Junior Eurovision, but it didn’t work out.
And here is the first real experience. Participation in the show Voice of the Country. Season 4 in 2014.
At the performance, of all the jury members, only Ani Lorak turned to the guy. And he ended up on her team. With one click of a button, Ani determined the guy’s future fate.
Having confidently passed the Fighting stage, Nikita Alekseev advanced to the Knockouts round and went live with the song of Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. He was lucky to perform only on the first broadcast.
This is how the Drunken Sun video appeared, which instantly became a hit.
The song turned out to be prophetic. He went on a trip to Spain with his girlfriend. There they dreamed of getting engaged. Instead, there was a separation, Nikita vowed that he would not perform the song in such a way that she would regret it. When they recorded this song, he put his feelings and experiences into every word. And the listeners felt it.
Nikita admitted that he recently met with ex-fiancée, but their date turned out to be the next stage final separation.
Recently she called me ex-girlfriend and asked for a meeting. I came and bought flowers. We went to a restaurant on the banks of the Dnieper. And it so happened that just at that moment the sun was setting behind me. Her face glowed with joy. But, unfortunately, I felt warmth only from my back, where the sun was, and not from the person sitting opposite... It was another farewell, the singer said.
Despite everything, Nikita is confident that true happiness awaits him ahead. Someday I will meet a person who can understand and support me, says the artist.
As a child, I was head over heels in love with actress Shannyn Sossamon. She was my ideal. As for whether a fan can become my girlfriend, it’s hard for me to imagine that there is a person next to me who doesn’t like my voice or my songs, because my music is my essence!
The video was filmed in Kyiv. First in the open air near the Kyiv sea, then in two closed lofts. It is worth noting that the team did their best, as did the entire directing group led by Alan Badoev, who composed the plot of this video work. Drunk Sun is about parting, about that period when words run out and there is no strength to continue.
Nikita speaks about his free time in poetry.
I love football. I love scoring goals. Well, I try to drop by to see my family and friends.
Now Nikita is working with two producers. Stage director large-scale shows Oleg Bodnarchuk and music producer, famous composer Ruslan Kvinta.
Now the guy is alone, he hasn’t had time to find a soul mate. Work takes up all my time. Moreover, he is now busy writing an album.
In addition, he is a free student of the Poplavsky Institute of Culture, he is learning the basics of directing, acting, stage movement, stage speech.
Philip Kirkorov speaks very highly of his creative potential. He saw his talent and praises him very much.
While watching some musical New Year and Christmas shows from Ukraine here on vacation, on one of the TV channels I saw a number performed by a new artist whom I had never seen or heard before! In my opinion, this is very talented and unusual!
I am simply sure and have no doubt that if everything turns out correctly and successfully for him, we will soon see the appearance of a new big star! But everything is in the hands of God, and, of course, you, the audience! In a year maximum, it will be impossible to approach it! Those who know me know that I am never wrong in this matter! Philip stated.
His colleague, singer Glukoza, also joined Kirkorov’s opinion. The artist also noted Nikita’s voice abilities and his songs.

Childhood and family of Nikita Alekseev
A stunningly successful vocalist, whose musical composition in 2015 lasted for one and a half months in 1st place in the Russian iTunes chart, was born on May 18, 1993 in Kyiv. Nikita was raised by his mother, a doctor by training, and her sister, whom he often warmly called his second mother. His father was against his birth and left his mother when she refused to terminate the pregnancy. 
Nikita has never seen his father, but he knows that he, a successful, wealthy doctor, lives abroad, is married and has two twin sons. Despite the circumstances preceding his birth and the complete lack of material help from his father, the young man never held a grudge against him and dreamed of getting to know him and his brothers.
Its meteoric rise to musical Olympus the singer considers it not only his merit or the will of chance, but also a certain magic of his surname. It turns out that he got it from his grandfather Nikita’s friend at the front, who saved his life by shielding him from a bullet. In memory of him, my grandfather changed his surname - Chumak - to the surname of the deceased soldier.
In early childhood, Nikita had to travel a lot. At 6 months old, his mother took him to Chita for two years, then returned with her son to the Ukrainian capital. From the age of three, now on the initiative of an enterprising aunt, he was periodically sent to visit a Spanish family to study foreign language. Once he spent about 8 months with “foster parents” who did not have children of their own.
As a result, he spoke Spanish no worse than his native language, and married couple wanted to adopt him. But Nikita’s mother, of course, was against this turn of events, although he himself (to her horror) did not want to return home - the Spanish family treated him like their own child.
Nikita Alekseev answered fans' questions
During his school years, he played tennis for five years, which contributed to his harmonious physical development, improved coordination, rhythm, and cultivated the will to win. These qualities also came in handy in music, which came into his life at the age of ten, when Nikita began attending vocal lessons with a well-known teacher in professional circles, Konstantin Pon. The teacher helped him develop his performing skills, instilled in him a refined musical taste, a love for the classics of world rock and high-quality pop music.
As a teenager, Nikita, dreaming before going to bed, often imagined himself on stage in the spotlight in front of an applauding audience. And he did everything possible to achieve his dream: he tried to get to Junior Eurovision, organized the rock group “Mova” (translated from Ukrainian language"Speech").
Once, the singer recalled, when he was 12 years old, he was preparing to perform with the song “We are the champions” by the British group Queen, and his mother gave him incomparable white trousers especially for the concert. And in the height of his feelings, he rode in them on his knees on the mastic-covered parquet floor of the stage and hopelessly ruined them.
After graduating from school, he chose a specialty that, as he then imagined, would allow him to have a stable income and support his family - he began studying to become a marketer. From his first year, in parallel with his studies, he worked part-time in call centers and in a karaoke bar. Despite his workload, he could not give up music - after about six months, he and his friends put together another rock band. In addition, he attended the Kiev Institute of Culture as a free listener.

He confidently overcame the first stage of the show, but did not reach the final. To support and console the mentee, the mentor assisted him in creating the first video clip for the song “Drunk Sun”. This song and the accompanying video became a sensational event in the domestic show business, marking the beginning of a successful creative path vocalist.
