Young people boldly showed themselves to be the creators of a new direction in popular dance music. They managed to go beyond the stereotypes of society - this music has no semantic load.
Yuri and Eva created wonderful musical works, distinguished by sensuality, femininity and original lyrics.
Unfortunately, the group has now ceased its activity. However, the band members are successfully working on the musical Olympus.
The birth and composition of the duo
The musical group from St. Petersburg first announced itself in 1996. Then it included two friends and like-minded people - Evgeny Arsentiev and Yuri Usachev.
True, very soon Arsentiev left the team, but Yuri Usachev continued to believe in his success. Some time later, Usachev met Eva Polna on the stage of a St. Petersburg nightclub.
The girl then worked as a backing vocalist for a local little-known group. Yuri from the first minutes realized that fate had given him a wonderful chance to restore the group.
A girl with such an appearance and vocal abilities can win the hearts of millions of people. After the concert, Yuri offered Eva a plan for a joint project. The girl immediately agreed to try.
Thus, after 1998, the group was represented by two members - Yuri Usachev (ideologist of the group, songwriter and sound producer) and Eva Polna (soloist, author of numerous song lyrics and co-author of music).
Charismatic, sexy and stylish young people have confidently won the popularity of listeners and the respect of their colleagues in the music industry.
The history of the duo's name
After a fateful meeting, when young musicians realized that they had the same vision of modern music. Since then, the guys have been engaged in creativity and recording songs.
Eva and Yuri did not leave the walls of the studio for days and recorded test tracks, which later became hits.
Once, during intensive work in the studio, their friends joked, noting that young people behave very strangely, like guests from outer space. With the light hand of friends Yuri and Eva, the group was called "Guests from the Future."
