Sergei Nagovitsyn is a Russian singer, author and performer of his own songs in the style of chanson and urban romance, who died at the age of 31. But until now, his songs are included in the gold collections of Russian chanson.
Biography
Sergey was born in Perm in the summer of 1968 into a family of ordinary factory workers, honest workers who have never had problems with the law. But the "thug romance" surrounding the boys of the streets of the industrial town left its mark on the fate of Nagovitsyn and determined the style of his work in the future.
After work, the father was engaged in his hobby - basketball, coaching his son and neighboring children. Sports became the first serious occupation of the future singer, he even received the title of CCM in boxing.
After leaving school, Sergei Nagovitsyn entered the Perm Medical Institute, deciding to link his life with medicine, but he did not finish his education - in 1986 he was drafted into the army. It was there that he mastered the guitar and became seriously interested in Tsoi's work, and then began to write his own songs and performed them for colleagues.
Career
After the army, Sergei got a job in a gas company and there he met the guys, who then became his employees in music. Together they created an amateur group and even recorded the album "Full Moon". Sergei Nagovitsyn planned to write rock music, but became more interested in urban romance.
In 1992, a Russian production company offered the collective a contract, but in order to fulfill its conditions, it was necessary to move to Moscow, and the cooperation turned out to be short-lived - the singer remained in Perm. The 94th was marked by the appearance of a new collection "City Meetings", and two years later the famous among chanson lovers "Dori-Dori" was released, after which the all-Russian popularity came to the singer.
Sergey's songs began to appear regularly on thematic radio stations, to occupy high places in the charts. During this period, the singer tried to settle in the capital, but gave up this venture and returned home. In addition to the songs released in the albums, Sergei recorded a lot of material for future collections, and after his death, his relatives were able to publish three more albums, and in 2009 a biographical film based on Nagovitsyn's songs "Broken Destiny" was released.
Personal life and death
In his student years, the singer met his future wife Inna. After Sergei returned from the army, they got married, and in 1999 his daughter Eugene was born. But a few years earlier, Sergei had hit a man to death while driving drunk. He was acquitted, but Nagovitsyn started drinking heavily, as he explained, out of guilt.
Closer to the birth of his daughter, the singer's health deteriorated sharply, and at the end of 1999 he died. A few years later, his wife released an album in which she herself sings her husband's songs. The daughter plays the guitar and enjoys tennis.
