The songs of the musical group "Degrees" are simple and at the same time sincere. Young artists gained a large army of fans after the first performance.
In a matter of months, the team "climbed" to the top of the musical Olympus, securing the position of leaders.
The songs of the group "Degrees" were liked not only by ordinary music lovers, but also by the directors of youth series. So, the tracks of the Stavropol guys can be heard in such series as: "Youth", "SashaTanya".
History of creation and composition of the musical group
In the mid-90s, the young and ambitious Roman Pashkov and Ruslan Tagiev came to conquer the harsh Moscow. But before "plunging" into the world of show business, the guys had to work hard as laborers, sellers, even loaders.
Young people rented an apartment together and conducted their first musical experiments there. In a rented apartment, they wrote songs that later made young guys famous personalities.
Later, the famous bassist of the Sarancha musical group Dmitry Bakhtinov joined the musicians. It was he who became the ideological inspirer of the Degrees group.
But Dmitry understood that the musical group lacked musicians, so he announced a competition in which he personally selected the soloists of the group.
With the light hand of Dmitry, the group acquired drummer Viktor Golovanov, who in the past played in the Locust and City 312 groups, and guitarist Arsen Beglyarov.
Initially, the musical group was called "Degrees 100", and in 2008 the Stavropol musicians were recognized as the "Degrees" group.
Later, Bakhtinov and Golovanov decided to leave the musical group. New soloists took their places.
Now Kirill Dzhalalov was responsible for the bass, Anton Grebenkin was in charge of the drums, and Alexander Kosilov, who has the nickname Sasha Trubasha, played the trumpet.
The creative path of the musical group "Degrees"
The musical compositions that music lovers love so much are assorted from many genres. This is a bright mix of pop, disco, pop-rock and even R&B. The first compositions of the group "Degrees": "My Time", "Radio Rain", "Tramp" and, of course, the famous "Director".
In the spring of 2008, the group was already fully staffed. The guys rehearsed from morning to night. Six months later, the musical group has already toured the Russian Federation.
The debut performance of the pop group" took place in one of the best clubs in Moscow. The guys "on a grand scale" decided to celebrate their first performance.
Their concert was free for all guests. In addition, they paid for the rent of the premises with their own money.
A year later, the musical composition "Director" literally "blew up" Russian and Ukrainian radio stations. The track was constantly played or ordered on such radios as: Russian Radio, Hit FM, Europa Plus.
The track took the first positions of the charts. As a result, the "Director" "took off" to the 1st position of the radio chart. A little later, the guys shot a bright video clip for a musical composition.
Music lovers were able to listen to the next two musical compositions “I Never Again” and “Who Are You” in 2010. They became no less successful than the track "Director".
The first track took the 9th position in the Russian digital singles chart, and "Who are you" immediately took the 2nd position. The listeners enthusiastically accepted the musical composition "Naked". By the way, it is this track that is the hallmark of the Degrees group.
Group "Degrees": time to collect rewards
Awards literally rained down on the pop group. Russian musicians have become the most desired guests of Russian music awards. In 2010, the group was among the Muz-TV nominees and won the Golden Gramophone for the song Director.
In one of their interviews, the musicians shared with journalists how they manage to create hits after hits. According to Roma Pashkov, their songs are about real, not contrived life.
In addition, Roman says that when writing musical compositions, the guys do not even think that this track will become a hit. The soloist said:
“First of all, in our musical compositions, we communicate with our listeners. We tell music lovers about our own opinion about life, and the emotions that we experience. Simple rhymes and beats make us love our music.”
Ruslan Tagiev admitted that he never parted with the recorder. He carries it in the pocket of his bag, because sometimes the necessary rhymes are born literally on the go.
Each new composition is first tested at a concert. If the song gets a standing ovation, then it moves on and becomes part of the album.
The debut disc of the group "Degrees" is called "Naked". Few people know that the musicians have been working on the album for 4 years. It includes 11 musical compositions, including the very first songs that have become favorites.
At the presentation of the debut album, which took place in the club, there were so many people that the apple had nowhere to fall. The pop group managed to release three records.
In addition to the song "Naked", the following discs were released: "Sense of Agility" (2014) and "Degree 100" (2016).
Breakup and reunion of the group
In 2015, it became known that the popular duet Pashkov - Tagiev broke up. Then Roman was engaged in "pumping" the solo project Pa-Shock. Ruslan did not grieve for long, presenting the Karabass musical group to his fans.
Individually, the musicians could not repeat the popularity of the Degrees group, so a year later Pashkov and Tagiev reunited and appeared before the public with the musical composition Degrees 100.
Fans were pleased with the reunion of the musicians. In addition, the group had popular producers. Now Dima Bilan and Yana Rudkovskaya were engaged in producing the Degrees group.
The composition of the “models” in the music video for the debut track, which was eventually named the song of the summer of 2016, was a pleasant surprise.
Lena Temnikova, Alesya Kafelnikova, Polina Gagarina, Sasha Spielberg and other show business stars performed at Degree 100.
The personal life of the group members
The personal life of the soloists of the Degrees group also turned out well. Both soloists have been married for a long time. And it is interesting that the girls of model appearance were by no means the spouses of the guys.
Tagiyev's wife's name is Elena Zakharova. Young people met back in 1999, when Tagiev had not yet become popular. Lena saw her future husband at a Moscow disco, where he worked as a DJ. Today, the couple has two children: a daughter and a son.
The second soloist of the group Pashkov met his future wife (Anna Tereshchenko) at the age of 14. But a little later, the life of young lovers diverged. Anna went to study in the USA, where she met her future husband, and Pashkov went to conquer Moscow.
A few years later, Pashkov and Tereshchenko met. According to the confessions of the man, when he saw his ex-girlfriend, a fire seemed to ignite inside him. Anna Tereshchenko divorced and moved to live with Pashkov. Soon the young people got married.
Pashkov and Tagiev follow a healthy lifestyle. They are running their own Instagram page.
