• I didn't plan on singing and making music. It all started unexpectedly. At the age of 16, I met a girl named Danya. We had a very creative relationship as she herself was very unusual. For her birthday, I gave her a song, very symbolic, understandable only to the two of us. This was my first vocal experience. Danya was so moved that she burst into tears. She posted this song on her blog on the then popular social network "Lady", and everyone just listened to her.

• When Danya and I parted, for a long time I did not understand what was happening and tried to distract myself. At 17, I hung out in all kinds of clubs, talked to different people. A year later, I realized that it would be great to write a song about this period of my life, and this is how "To the Bottom" appeared. It was a more professional song, very literate people helped me with it. I posted the song on Vkontakte, and it spread so much that a couple of days later they called me and offered to perform in Switzerland at an event with this song. I took it as a joke, did not perform and did not even associate myself with the stage. But when a colonel approached me at the academy and said: “Come on, speak at our Militia Day!” I was more than surprised. After all, there was a text not at all for officers. (Laughs)

• My dad is quite conservative and very strict. He saw me change, and not for the better. I studied at the private Moscow School of Economics (MES), and there many people fell under the bad influence. Dad then said to me: “Son, you will not go to either Moscow State University or MGIMO. You will go to the Academy of Economic Security under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. " The first thing they did there was shave and they took me to the barracks. Now I am incredibly grateful to my father. It made me very strong. And if not for the Academy, then I would have been lost to this day.

• At the end of the fourth year, I released a song with Nastya Kochetkova (26) "Above the Earth". She became a hit. A million people have watched it on YouTube. At the Academy, I became almost a superstar. This, of course, helped me insanely in my studies, the teachers even sometimes took my autograph. I do not forget any of the teachers and classmates, I try to keep in touch with them.

• Almost no one believed in my success. There were those who especially disliked me, but then I saw them at my concerts. And I'm okay with that.

• Once I was passing by a hotel somewhere in Europe and there I met Sergey Lazarev (31) with Lera Kudryavtseva (43). When I caught up with them, Sergei began to sing my song "Above the Earth". Then I was not familiar with them yet. I was very pleased!

• I manage to be friends in show business only with adult artists. It's almost impossible to be friends with young musicians. At one time I talked with a young artist from our show business, but in the end he began to openly steal my ideas. There are also times when people on your team are lured away by other artists. This happens quite often, so it is very difficult to be friends with the same young artists.

• I am a sports guy, and many of my friends are from sports: hockey player Sasha Ovechkin (29), footballer Dima Tarasov (27), basketball player Vitaly Fridzon (29). For me, close communication and friendship is when you meet with a person and discuss not work, not music, but something personal.

• I do not believe in friendship between a man and a woman.

• My last relationship lasted more than four years, it can even be called a civil marriage. Olya was my director and manager. We combined work and personal life. This, of course, had its own difficulties, some disagreements constantly arose. When something doesn't work out in a relationship, you make up for it with work, put more effort there, or, conversely, after a failure in creativity, you draw strength in relationships. We did not have such an opportunity, each complexity in one area spilled over and only increased in another. For three and a half years, everything was fine with us, but for the last six months our relationship began to burst at the seams.

• I don't know how Olya took our parting, right after that she flew to America for several months. It was very unusual for me to exist alone. But love passed, and I did not want to torment myself and her. Although many of our mutual friends said that we need to renew our relationship, move on to the next stage: get married, have a child. Perhaps this step should have been taken when we still loved each other, but, probably, we overexposed this moment, burned out. In my memory, I left the warmest and brightest memories of her. If I see her with another man, then I will only be glad that she began to build a new life.

• If I initially see a girl's interest in myself, it immediately repulses me. I have to dynamically and hard. But don't go overboard with that. The harder they treat me, the more interesting it is to me. But I love this attitude towards myself only at first. In the relationship itself, a girl should be very affectionate, gentle, decent and well-mannered - this is the most important thing for me. If I see even a drop of vulgarity, we won't have anything serious. I can have thirty such girls in a couple of months, but all for one night.

• I need a girl. This will calm me down a little, and I will be engaged in personal affairs, and not get involved in fights.

• Hair color doesn't matter to me. I love sophisticated features. Pay attention to eyes, lips and hands. I love casual style in girls. If I like her in this style, then, dressed in an evening dress, she will be incredibly beautiful.

• There are many beautiful girls on Instagram right now, but most are only beautiful on screen. You meet with them in life - and you no longer know how to escape as soon as possible.

• I can meet the girl of my dreams anywhere, but not on the Internet. I will simply be ashamed to tell my children later that I met their mother on the Internet.

• I can put on some awkward things, I can, on the contrary, get confused about the appearance. I don't have time to follow trends and go shopping. I order everything online. I love www.asos.com, they have fast delivery and a lot of choice. On vacation, of course, I will go shopping, but in Moscow there is simply no time left for that.

• I'm not looking for an idol. At some point, I realized that it just might prevent me from creating my own music. I love 30 seconds to Mars, go to their concerts, stand in the crowd among the screaming girls, I really like Jared Leto's vocals (43). I like different music: rock, pop, rap, dance music.

• I released my last album two years ago. And at some point, my work stalled. But after parting, in about six months I recorded a whole disc. I spent two months literally all the time in the studio. And in the end he recorded the album "Puzzles", which is released on March 16. There are many autobiographical songs in it. Even though I don't write music, I recorded some of the instruments myself: some drum sections and some piano parts. There is a lot of live music in the album. You can already order it on iTunes.

• If I met myself when I was little, I would go up to my parents and say: "Kick him at a music school!" Now I have to make up for a lot, since I have already connected my life with music. I have to figure out a lot, and I spend a lot of time on it.

• I am indifferent to awards. I just want to continue to enjoy people, from music, to collect halls. I do not set global goals. My goal was to record an album, and now I am incredibly happy, since there is not a single song in the new album that I would be ashamed of. This is a very personal, grown-up album, and not only in content, but even in design.

• My parents support me. But at first they didn't know that I was so serious about music. Once a girl came up to my mom in the gym and said, "Are you T-Killah's mom?" She didn't even know who it was. (Laughs) And literally a week before that, I posted a photo with my mother on the Internet. After that, I sat down and talked to my parents. I had to explain for a long time why I am T-Killah. Mom asked: "Is everything okay with your psyche?" (Laughs)

• At the age of 14, my classmates and I went over with tequila. My friend's mom treated me in every possible way and tried to bring me to my senses. This story spread throughout the school, they began to call me "Teki". Then it turned into Tequila.

• I am very lucky in my life. Nobody left me. And if someday this happens, then I do not even know how I will behave. Maybe I'll have to prove something to someone.

Childhood and student life

Sasha grew up an active and sociable boy. In elementary school, he studied for "fours" and "fives", distinguished by exemplary behavior. But starting from the 5th grade it seemed to be replaced. Alexander Tarasov loved to pull girls by the pigtails. During breaks, he drew funny faces on the blackboard, and also ran down the corridor with other boys. Once Sasha threw firecrackers into the head teacher's office. For this act, our hero is still ashamed.

From the age of 7, Alexander Tarasov went in for sports - volleyball and basketball. And in high school, he became interested in kickboxing. Sasha graduated from high school with a specialization in economics. Where did he go after receiving the certificate? The guy chose the Academy of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. He managed to enter this university the first time.
