To succeed in modern show business requires not only natural abilities, but also good helpers. Peter Elfimov is a gifted singer and actor. The author of songs and arrangements. He has prestigious prizes and awards to his credit.
Childhood and youth
Numerous festivals and competitions are held to bring out new talent. Young performers bring fresh rhythms and melodies, rhymes and ideas onto the stage. Peter Elfimov began his vocal career in early childhood. The boy was born on February 15, 1980 in a family of professional musicians. Parents lived in the Belarusian city of Mogilev. My father served in a military brass band. Mother sang in the choir at the city philharmonic. Petya from an early age demonstrated natural ability to sing and played music. He has perfect pitch.
When the boy was six years old, he was enrolled in a comprehensive school with a musical bias. Petya studied well. I did well in all subjects. I tried to find a common language with my peers. After the eighth grade, he entered the conductor-choral department of the local music college. The vocal and instrumental studio "Double V" operated on the basis of the college. Peter was already in the first year invited to the team as a soloist. As part of this group, Elfimov won the title of laureate at the festival of young pop artists "Zornaya rostan-96".
The promising performer successfully combined training with performances and touring trips to Belarusian cities and villages. Elfimov built his musical career according to the classical canons. After graduating from college in 1998, he continued his education at the Belarusian Academy of Music. Student years passed quickly, but meaningfully. Peter was invited to participate in the famous KVN game. Thanks to his photogenic appearance and vocal abilities, he quickly became a favorite of the public and the panel of judges. The musician and singer made a significant contribution to the victories of the Belarusian team.
In the summer of 2003, Peter was invited as a soloist to the legendary Pesnyary ensemble. Of course, it was a great school of professional excellence. For almost a year Elfimov worked honestly in the team. However, personal ambitions and projects did not fit into the conceptual plans of the ensemble. Peter left the group and started preparing for the "Slavianski Bazaar" festival, which is held on an ongoing basis in Vitebsk. According to the results of the competition, he won the Grand Prix in the category "pop song performers". Peter liked the result, and he tried not to miss the festival in the future.
Professional activity
In search of his niche on the stage, Elfimov tries to use every opportunity. The vocal duet "Alexandra and Konstantin" made it to the semifinals of the prestigious Eurovision-2004. Peter agreed to go to the event in Istanbul as one of the backing vocalists. To the great regret of the speakers, they failed to make it to the final. The singer made his next attempt to get to Eurovision in 2009. The preparation was thorough and comprehensive. However, Peter did not manage to rise above the 13th place.
Peter considers himself to the category of those performers who cannot realize their creative potential within the framework of one genre. In the summer of 2012, Elfimov was invited to star in the TV series Steal Belmondo. The singer's impressions remained positive, but too much time was spent. The following season, he took part in the popular Russian competition "The Voice". Blind auditions allow judges to objectively assess the level of skill of the performers. Peter held on well, but managed to reach only the quarter-finals.
Recognition and achievements
In the summer of 2010, an international performing arts competition was held in Hollywood. Elfimov went overseas to represent his native Belarus in five nominations. The singer performed Lensky's aria from the opera Eugene Onegin and the main aria from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. And he sang three more songs - one in Russian and two in English. As a result, he received five gold medals and a special prize for achievements in the entertainment industry. Not a single performer from the CIS countries achieved such success either earlier or later.
Elfimov tours a lot in cities and countries. And always on his performances the hall is filled to the limit. In 2015, Peter once again demonstrated his skills at the All-Russian musical show "Main Stage". The singer received all available prizes and awards, including love and applause from the audience. It is important to note that Elfimov not only ascends to the heights of his work. At the same time, he shares his experience and skills with aspiring singers and actors. For several years now, Peter has been conducting seminars at the Moscow "School of Vocal".
Personal life score
Comedies, dramas, and adventure novels write about the personal lives of show business participants. To a certain extent, Peter Elfimov provides an informational occasion for such works. The singer is married with a second marriage. He lived with his first wife for less than two years. They were twenty years old. After a short break, Elfimov married Tatiana Kosmacheva.
It would seem a common thing. However, there is one circumstance that all interested parties involuntarily draw attention to. The wife is 27 years older than her husband. This fact did not become an obstacle to the birth of a daughter. According to outside observers, Peter is quite happily married. It should be added that Tatiana plays the role of producer and manager of her star spouse.
