Kai Metov is a real star of the 90s. The Russian singer, musician, composer continues to be popular with music lovers today. This is one of the brightest artists of the early 90s. It is interesting, but for a long time the performer of sensual tracks was hiding behind the mask of "incognito". But this did not prevent Kai Metov from becoming the favorite of the opposite sex.
Today, fans are interested not only in the creative, but also in the personal life of the artist. Not so long ago, he spoke about illegitimate children. In the new millennium, he is often invited to various talk shows. They say that being on TV is one way to stay afloat.
Childhood and youth years of the artist
Kairat Erdenovich Metov (real name of the artist) was born on the territory of Karaganda. Almost immediately after the birth of his son, the family moved to Alma-Ata.
Kairat has the most pleasant memories of his mother. The woman had nothing to do with creativity. For more than 15 years, she worked as a nanny, and then as a kindergarten teacher. Mom found an approach to her son and raised the boy in the right way.
By the way, in the Metovs' house, the mother was still the main one. Kairat's father has always been distinguished by a calmer and more accommodating character. In one of the interviews, the artist said that his father defended him in front of his mother for childhood pranks and became a true friend to him.
An exceptional ear for music has become a hallmark of Kairat. As a child, he attended a music school, where he honed his violin playing to a professional level. The teachers unanimously insisted that a good musical future awaited him.
From a young age, he takes part in various music competitions. Often Kai came home with a victory in his hands. Naturally, this motivated the young man not to stop there.
He devoted several years to studying at the Central Music School. After receiving a matriculation certificate, Metov thought about continuing his creative path, but unexpectedly he received a summons to the army.
The young man thought that on this he would put an end to the music. However, being in the ranks of the army, he leads the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Molodist". Service in the military unit, as it were, confirmed that his only vocation was music.
The creative path of the artist
After completing the service, the stage of creative search for a "place under the sun" began. He became a member of the Tambov Regional Philharmonic. It is important to note that here he gained invaluable experience.
In the early 90s, Kai Metov's solo career started. During this period of time, he composes and records several works that managed to attract the attention of music critics and music lovers.
On the wave of popularity, his discography is opened by the longplay Position 2. It should be noted that the artist presented a video for the composition of the same name. By the way, this track eventually became the hallmark of the artist.
In the mid-90s, Metov's discography was replenished with a second studio album. We are talking about the collection "Snow of my soul." Among the presented tracks, music lovers especially appreciated the work "Remember Me". The record was sold in large numbers, and the artist himself was at the top of popularity.
Then he pleased the fans of his work with the presentation of several more collections. On the compositions "Somewhere far away it rains" and "My dear, where are you where?" the singer presented bright video clips. During this period of time, he presented the track “And you didn’t understand me.”
Metov's popularity is also confirmed by the fact that in the 90s he began to be actively invited to various rating television programs. In addition, he regularly took part in charity events. During this period of time, he became the winner of the "Song of the Year" and "Fifty-Fifty" fests.
Kai Metov: author of the song "Tea Rose"
At the beginning of the so-called "zero" Kai discovered his composing abilities. For Russian singer Masha Rasputina и Philip Kirkorov Metov composed "Tea Rose", which became a mega-popular track.
In 2012, in “We Speak and Show,” the performer said that a presentation of his cosmetic brand would soon take place. The artist assured that cosmetics will be available not only for the stars, but also for ordinary people with an average income. He is a member of the directors of "NanoDerm Pro" and "pushes" products to people.
A year later, Kai composed the musical accompaniment for the film "Peculiarities of the National Minibus". In this tape, he showed himself not only as a film composer. He was given the role. True, Metov did not have to try on someone else's image - he played himself. In the same year, the premiere of the debut LP of instrumental music "For you and about you" took place.
In 2016, a new piece of music was uploaded on the artist's official website. The composition "Farewell, my love", he recorded together with Tatyana Bulanova. A year later, two LPs premiered at once. The records were called “Quietly about the innermost” and “Seize the moment”.
Details of the artist's personal life
The first wife of the then-novice artist was a girl named Natalya. He doesn't like to talk about this woman. In an interview, he said that they met after the army. Kai went to the store to buy groceries and saw a charming girl behind the counter.
Kai Metov said that in his youth he made many mistakes. According to the man, this marriage had every chance of existing, if not for its quarrelsome nature. He exhausted Natalya with jealousy, demanded that she stay at home and not stick her nose out to work.
In his view, a woman had to create comfort at home and build a “nest” in which he would like to return after a tiring tour. Natasha had her own idea of a family. She was not warmed by the prospect of sitting in a "golden cage". The birth of a child did not change the situation. They divorced in 1990.
The divorce did not affect Metov's relationship with his daughter. They closely communicated, and he even took her with him on tour. Kai still maintains the warmest relationship with her daughter. Recently, he also became a grandfather. Daughter gave him a grandson.
The second marriage of Kairat Metov
Further, fate brought him to Olga Filimontseva. The artists met at a concert held in Kemerovo. He did not call her officially to marry, and she did not want to burden herself with a serious relationship. The couple was quite satisfied with their union. At the time of meeting Olya was only 15 years old. For a long time they just talked on the phone. The artist always found time for the girl and supported the spark that arose between them.
After another meeting, Kai took a desperate step. He approached Olya and invited her to live together. The girl agreed, but soon living under the same roof became unbearable. Olga did not begin to show her character in the best way.
Soon Filimontseva announced that she could no longer live with the artist and was leaving him. He didn't want to leave the girl. Kai delayed her for another two years, but then, they still broke up.

During this period of time, the artist was just filming in the show "Call of Fate - 2". In a reality project, Listerman was looking for a bride for Metov. Toma Mayskaya became the winner. True, young people did not build relationships outside the show.
Some time later, he was seen in a relationship with a girl named Anna Severinova. Fans were surprised by the fact that the chosen one was more than 20 years younger than Kai. Many believed that the girl would become the artist's last lover. But, it soon became clear that they broke up. Anna and Kai are no longer in a relationship.
Quite a bit of time passed after breaking up with his former lover, as he was seen paired with Anastasia Rozhkova. The girl was also much younger than the man, but her difference of 27 years did not frighten at all. Kai said that happiness loves silence, so if the wedding with Rozhkova takes place, they will try to keep it a secret.
