Biography of the singer Alexei Serov
Alexey was born in Ivanovo near Moscow, in mid-November 1974. His parents had nothing to do with the world of big art or pop, but music was always heard in their house. In their hometown, they were famous musicians. But the son did not particularly try to follow their path. His father took him to a local children's musical group in the first grade, but by the 4th grade Alexey decided to leave music and take up tennis. Then there was a hobby for sambo, orienteering, a discipline called "fox hunting", football and even a puppet theater. Only at a more mature age did Serov decide to try his hand at music again.
Alexey met and became close to his future colleagues on the stage when he was a law student, and he was familiar with one of them from school (Nikolay Timofeev). In parallel with the rehearsals, the guy managed to earn money - he worked as a lawyer at one of the Ivanovo industrial plants, led discos in city clubs.
His professional life changed dramatically in 1997, when he was closely engaged in a singing career together with members of the musical group Disco Crash.
"Disco accident" and Alexey Serov - how it all began
The history of the collective began with the regional level radio show of the same name. Ryzhov and Timofeev for five years hosted the "Disco Crash" program, within the framework of which they released remixes and parodies of popular Russian and foreign musical compositions. Alexey Serov joined them in 1997, and at that time there were already three guys - Oleg Zhukov also worked with them.
It was after Serov's arrival in the group that the guys released their first song album, which, like a snowball, was followed by another 7. The popularity of "Disco Crash" grew at lightning speed, their songs sounded from all windows, they brought their creators and performers prestigious awards, invitations to perform in group concerts, and, of course, a high income.
The group "Disco Crash" and its members are rightfully considered to be a kind of icons of the musical style of the 90s, and 2000s too. But after 2002, their popularity declined slightly. After the death of Oleg Zhukov, the guys did not actually perform, information appeared in the press that the group had broken up, but they themselves did not confirm this.
Life after fame? Creativity and business of Alexey Serov
However, the group did not die after the death of one of its key members. After 10 years, Nikolai Timofeev "deserted". Serov and Ryzhov remained true to their brainchild, and were right - they managed to return to the "big stage".
A year after the death of Zhukov, the guys managed to recover and started working again - they starred in the New Year's musical, began work on a new album. Work stopped due to a robbery attack on Serov, as a result of which he received serious injuries and took a long time to recover. It happened in 2005. The group seemed to be haunted by setbacks, but the durability of the guys amazed the fans.
In 2012 Timofeev left the group. This was another blow. But the guys were not going to give up their brainchild. Literally six months after Nikolai's departure, the group was replenished with a girl, work resumed, new compositions appeared in the repertoire, which returned the "Avaria disco" to the charts, for the presentation of music awards.
In parallel with his musical activities, Alexey Serov is engaged in business. He opened a dating site, was engaged in the sale of real estate in Estonia, in 2009 he began to develop a network of dry cleaners. It was this line of business that became successful for the musician Alexei Serov. According to the income statement, dry cleaners bring him almost 300 million rubles annually.
Recently, Alexey has made another dream come true - he opened a chain of coffee shops. They practically do not bring profit, but the artist enjoys this business and is not going to close sometimes even unprofitable establishments.
Personal life of Alexey Serov from "Disco Crash"
The artist's personal life is more turbulent than professional. He has already been married and divorced three times. From each of the wives, Alexei has a child, from the first two a son - Mark and Richard, from the third - a daughter, Pauline.
With his first two wives, Alexei divorced "peacefully", but with the third, Estonian Irina Kachko, the separation was scandalous. During the trial, they shared not only property, but also a common daughter.
Little Polina, according to the court decision, moved first to her dad, then to her mother. The court of last instance decided that the girl should live with her mother, provided that she would not interfere with her communication with her father.
After his divorce from Irina, Alexey closed his personal space for journalists. With whom he is currently dating or living is unknown. In public with new ladies in recent years, Serov did not appear.
