Konstantin Kinchev is a famous Russian musician and soloist of the cult band "Alisa". More than one generation of young people has grown up on the songs of this rock group. What is his personal life and what is his biography?
Childhood and adolescence of Kostya Kinchev
Konstantin Kinchev was born in Moscow on December 25, 1958. This date is especially revered by all fans of the "Alisa" group. His parents were professors and taught at universities in the capital. Dad was even the rector of the Moscow Institute of Technology.
From childhood, Konstantin was fond of music and constantly listened to foreign groups such as The Rolling Stones. I often skipped lessons at school. And the teachers disliked Kostya for his character and desire to stand out. Once he was kicked out of school for too long hair, and then, in protest, the future musician shaved his head.
Kostya was also fond of sports, in particular hockey, but over time he realized that he would not become a professional hockey player. And then he firmly decided that he would become a rock musician. In those days, this new direction of music was just emerging in the USSR.
After leaving school, Konstantin tried to comprehend science in several higher educational institutions, but in the end he never received an education. But during this time he managed to master several professions. He worked as a milling machine operator in a factory, as an artist and even as a model. By the way, Kinchev had a great appearance, so he had no problems with the attention of the girls.
Musical career of Konstantin Kinchev
The future rock star began his musical career in little-known bands, whose names will not say anything to a wide circle of music lovers. But over time he was noticed and invited to the role of vocalist in the St. Petersburg team "Alisa". At first, Kinchev only recorded songs in the studio, and another leader of the group, Svyatoslav Zaderiy, played at concerts. But the young musician was not going to put up with this role.
And already in a year the first disc, recorded by Kinchev, was released. It's called Energy. By the way, the real name of the musician was Panfilov. But when choosing a pseudonym, he remembered that his maternal grandfather bore the surname Kinchev, but fell under repression. And then, in honor of his ancestor, Konstantin decided to take his name for himself.
After "Energia" such albums as "Block of Hell", "The Sixth Forester" and "Art. 206 h. 2 ". At this moment, the group has problems with the authorities - for songs that are of a political nature. The musicians are arrested several times, but then released. This is reflected in their work, which very often touches on a political topic.
Their next albums - "Sabbath" and "Black Mark" - the group devotes to rock musicians who died early Alexander Bashlachev and Igor Chumychkin. In 2000, Kinchev with "Alice" recorded the album "Solntsevorot", and a little later "Now is later than you think." These albums have become iconic for all the fans of the group. For the first time, musicians touch upon a philosophical and religious theme. After that, in 2005, the disc "Outcast" was released, and in 2008, "The Pulse of the Keeper of the Maze Doors". To date, the last album of the collective headed by Konstantin is "Excess" in 2016.
All the fans of the group have united in a special movement that supports the collective in all endeavors. Fans closely follow the group's life and actively communicate on various social networks.
Personal life of Kinchev
In the personal life of an artist and musician, there has never been a great variety. It is on stage that he behaves inadequately, but at home he is completely different. Konstantin's first wife appeared at the dawn of popularity. Her name was Anna Golubeva, and she gave birth to his son Yevgeny. The boy did not follow in his father's footsteps and became a journalist.
But after the birth of their first child, the couple broke up. Rather, Kostya simply fell in love and left his wife. His second and last chosen one was Alexandra Lokteva. She was a very beautiful girl and the rocker could not resist. She gave birth to a star daughter, Vera. They also raised Alexandra's daughter from her first marriage.
The family lives near St. Petersburg in a small village. Kinchev enjoys fishing and spends a lot of time outdoors.
In 2016, all news feeds spread the message that Kinchev was taken to the hospital in critical condition. But fortunately, everything worked out, and in 2017 the musician returned to the stage. The group "Alisa" turns 35 years old and in the near future there will be many concerts dedicated to this date.
