The childhood and youth of the artist Igorek

Igor Anatolyevich Sorokin (real name of the singer) was born on February 13, 1971 on the territory of the small provincial village of Kirovskoye. In his youth, the guy began to be interested in music. Igor was the organizer of school discos.

Sorokin studied well at school. He took part in school plays and productions. Igor left his parents' house early. After receiving the certificate, he went to Novosibirsk. There the guy entered the NYUF TSU.

As a third-year student, Igor finally realized that he wants to connect his life with creativity. For some time he worked as a DJ at local discos. Then this work gave him a good income. But several attempts were made on Sorokin's life.

He moved to the capital of the Russian Federation in 2001. He had only 10 rubles in his pocket, 4 of which he spent on calling his comrade, with whom he served in the army. Sorokin realized that there was nothing to catch in the provinces, the only chance to make himself known was to “light up” in the metropolis.

Moscow met him not as hospitably as it would be desirable. At first, Igor worked as a loader and an ordinary laborer. After two months of exhausting work, he had already lost hope that he could realize himself in the capital. But fortune smiled on him. Soon he recorded the first composition in a recording studio.

The singer's repertoire was opened by the track My Love Natasha. It was a bull's-eye hit. The composition took a leading position in the prestigious music charts of the country. During this period, he realized that he was firmly entrenched in the capital of Russia. The singer received nationwide recognition after the presentation of the composition “Wait”.

The track "Let's wait" has a very interesting history of appearance. When Igorek lived in Novosibirsk, he often had to go hungry. At that time, he was just moonlighting as a DJ, sometimes eating at nightclubs, and sometimes with friends. One day he saw an attractive woman driving a luxury jeep.

Igorka associated this woman not with a lady who was presented with a cool car, but with a strong, self-confident woman who managed to realize herself on her own. The singer was pleasantly surprised by her energy, and this inspired him to write the composition. The motives of the track are very reminiscent of the melody of Russian folk songs.

By the way, the history of recording the presented track is no less interesting. Comrades Igorka, who had their own recording studio in Novosibirsk, signed a contract with a company from the capital. The guys were forced to move to Moscow, where they settled in a hostel, kindly providing a bed to Igorka.

The comrades gave Igorka a recording studio at his disposal. On the day of the recording of the composition “Let's wait”, the singer had a fever. And his condition was not conducive to productive work. Despite this, the recording of the composition took place. Igor was sure that the song would become a real "bomb".

In the early 2000s, this track opened the Golden Gramophone award ceremony. Meanwhile, Igorek was distinguished by excellent productivity. Until 2008, he managed to record 8 albums. Those who do not yet know the musician's work should definitely listen to the LPs:

  • “There is no more strength to hold on”;
  • "Fairy tale";
  • "Hey guys."

The singer's videography is rich in interesting clips. Igor has always been distinguished by unconventional thinking, which can be seen in the video clips of his tracks.

Peak artist popularity

In a short period of time, the singer was at the top of the Russian musical Olympus. Most of the Russian pop stars relied on the conquest of the female audience. And Igorek sang for the strong half of humanity.

During the peak of popularity, Igorek actively toured the territory of the Russian Federation. He gathered full halls of grateful listeners, and did not even realize that soon his popularity began to decrease.

In 2013, the singer presented a collection of hits to fans of his work. We are talking about the record "Remix him". Fans enjoyed their favorite compositions of Igorka's repertoire with pleasure. From that moment on, Igor's popularity began to decline, although loyal fans do not forget about his work to this day.

Igor accepted the decrease in popularity with dignity. The singer is sure that in this case it is important to leave the stage in time, without turning yourself into a clown.

Details of the singer's personal life

When Igor disappeared from the stage, he was engaged in self-knowledge. He analyzed his life and concluded that he wanted to be in complete silence and solitude. Sorokin rarely called friends and relatives, avoided "parties" and concerts.

Friends suspected that something was wrong with Sorokin and came to the aid of a friend. They managed to pull Igorka into society. He got a job at Pioneer FM. On the radio, he was entrusted with leading a night disco. When he decided to record a new album, he left the workplace because he could not combine business.

Nothing is known about the singer's personal life. He never talked about her. The girls who sometimes got into the frame with him were just acquaintances.
