In March 2006, the debut album of the singer with the strange name Maxim, entitled "Difficult Age", was released. Not only did a huge number of listeners like the songs, but also interest in the singer was fueled by the fact that the girl has a male name.
Steps to popularity
Singer Maxim was born in Kazan, from an early age she was fond of music - she studied vocal and piano at a music school. She began writing her songs very early. Already at the age of fourteen, Maxim wrote the songs "Alien", "Winter" and others, which were later included in her second album.
The music pirates included the popular song of the young singer from Tatarstan "Start" in the album "Russian Ten", but they recorded the group "Tatu" as a performer.
In 2005, the young performer sets off to conquer Moscow. She carries with her all her material, demos of songs and videos of performances in clubs. I must say that by that time Maxim was already slightly popular, her composition "Breathing Centimeters" took 34th place in the general radio chart of the CIS countries.
As a result, the ambitious girl went to Gala Records, where she stayed for a long time. Its popularity grew every day, the number of awards increased. Moreover, each of her albums sold at least a million copies. The songs from the albums occupied the first lines in the charts for several weeks.
What is the secret of such popularity? Many critics cannot answer this question. Perhaps, in the competent presentation of the material by the singer's producers, in a well-thought-out image. However, watching all of Maxim's interviews, reading all her comments in the press, one can understand that this girl is not pretending to be clean and kind. She is really open and friendly. Some of the critics compared it to the “Tender May” phenomenon, but Maxim is not a well-thought-out PR move, he is a living person.
Origin of the name
As soon as the singer became known to a wide audience, she immediately took the pseudonym Maxim. There are two versions of the origin of this name, but the singer herself never revealed the truth.
The real name of the girl is Marina Sergeevna Abrosimova, perhaps by her mother's maiden name, the singer came up with a pseudonym - Maksimova. The second version of the origin of the pop name is more real. Little Marina in childhood was very friendly with her older brother, whose name was Maxim. The girl followed him everywhere with her tail, as a result, close friends of her brother and sister began to call Marina also Maxim.
Previously, the singer's pseudonym was written as Maxi-M, but after a short time the spelling was transformed into MakSim.
When she got married, Marina did not change her last name; she is still Abrosimova in her passport.
