Light pop hits or heartfelt romances, folk songs or opera arias - all song genres are subject to this singer. Thanks to his rich range and velvety baritone, Felix Tsarikati is popular with several generations of music lovers.
Childhood and youth
In the Ossetian family of the Tsarikaevs, in September 1964, the son Felix was born. Mom and dad of the future celebrity were ordinary workers. They had nothing to do with music and singing, they did not shine with talents.
But grandparents were famous throughout the North Caucasus. Grandmother is a former dancer, soloist of the Kabardinka ensemble. She played many musical instruments, and her grandfather is a brilliant singer. This is where the origins of the talent of the gifted beyond measure Felix Tsarikati come from.
An ideal ear for music and curiosity helped the boy learn how to play the harmonica on his own even before school. And at the age of 7, Felix began to sing. And the well-known Azerbaijani singer, Muslim Magomayev, became an idol for him to follow. School science did not inspire the boy, he studied through a stump-deck. Music was his only love.
Felix participated in all amateur art shows, where he was the recognized winner. Seeing such successes, the mother sent her son to the children's choir.
Until now, an adult man talks about his childhood with love and nostalgia. Mountains, lakes, reckless friends and the magnificence of nature - all this was in the beloved village of Ozrek. Parents idolized their son and Felix had all the attributes of a happy childhood: bikes, mopeds, motorcycles.
After the 8th grade, at the age of 15, Tsarikati moved to the capital of North Ossetia to receive a musical education. He entered the School of Arts in the vocal department and graduated with brilliance. The ambitious Ossetian left to conquer Moscow: to enter GITIS. And, surprisingly, with a competition of 120 people for a place, without connections and money, he became a student of this prestigious university.
Tsarikati Felix: All-Union Glory
The vociferous guy, still in his fourth year at GITIS, managed to participate in a prestigious music competition in Jurmala. However, then, in 89, he failed to win there. But the audience remembered him and fell in love. Two years later, in Yalta, an enchanting success awaited him - a victory in the competition. Plus, the audience award brought him unprecedented popularity.
Participation in TV shows, letters from fans, crazy female fans and the first commercial offers - all this appeared in the life of a young singer. Cooperation with one of the most famous songwriters, Leonid Derbenev, guaranteed success. All the songs written by him became hits. And in this performance they were doomed to become hits. Felix's first tour took place at home, in North Ossetia.
All life is on stage
Hits performed by Felix Tsarikati have been alive for more than 30 years. Cooperation with such famous authors as Vyacheslav Dobrynin, Larisa Rubalskaya, Alexander Morozov made these songs unfading. “Provincial Princess” and “Unlucky” were sung by all the inhabitants of the large country of the USSR.
During his creative activity, Tsarikati has recorded more than 10 albums. He has many state awards and is known far beyond the borders of his country. In 2014, in connection with the 50th anniversary, Tsarikati gave a grand concert for fans of his work.
He is still full of energy, continues to record new songs and actively promotes them on the Web. His separate love is Ossetian folk songs, which he performs reverently and with inspiration. "Golden Voice" - he deserved such a title for a long time.
Tsarikati Felix: Personal life
Like all Ossetian men, Felix Tsarikati does not like to advertise his personal life. The journalists never managed to find out why such a handsome man brings up his daughters alone. It is known for certain that his mother helped him in raising children, but nothing is known about his wife.
The eldest daughter, 25-year-old Alvina, is a journalist, went on stage several times with her father, but music is not her calling. She is much better at connecting letters into beautiful words. She was brilliantly taught to do this at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.
The second daughter, Marceline, is still a teenager. She took after her father with her talent, loves to sing, dance, does gymnastics and synchronized swimming. A multifaceted talented girl is also very active on the Web. Thanks to her Instagram account, you can find out the details of the life of your favorite singer.
Felix Tsarikati got married some time ago. His young wife, Zalina, took over as administrator and concert director. But its main task is to give birth to an heir. After all, two daughters are good, but an heir is better.
Present time
Tsarikati still manages to "stay afloat". He actively tours, performing his favorite hits, romances and folk songs. Tickets for his concerts are sold like hot cakes and this stately man cannot complain about the lack of fans.
You can learn about everything that happens in his life from social networks, and hear new songs on his personal YouTube channel. Tsarikati keeps up with the times, participates in online concerts and actively communicates with fans on the Internet. His Instagram account is full of new photos and details of his creative life.
