Paints are a bright "spot" in the Russian and Belarusian stage. The musical group began its activity in the early 2000s.
Young people sang about the most beautiful feeling on earth - love.
The musical compositions “Mom, I fell in love with a bandit”, “I will always wait for you” and “My sun” have become a kind of visiting card of Colors.
The tracks released by the Kraski group instantly became hits. It is not surprising that at that time the musical group began to have doubles.
By the way, the stories with these twins continue today.
The soloists of the Kraski group are suing scammers to this day.
The composition of the musical group
The history of the Kraski musical group goes back to the beginning of 2000. Under the leadership of producer Alexei Voronov, a pop group was formed, which consisted of the following soloists: Katya Borovik, Olga Guseva, Vasily Bogomyu and Andrey Chigir.
Ekaterina Borovik became the inspirer and the main musical group. She literally lived for music and dancing.
But, Katya alone was not enough for the group, so the producer went to Minsk and organized a casting.
Alexey Voronov at the casting put forward quite serious requirements for the future soloists of the musical group.
He was interested not only in the vocal abilities of the participants, but also in their appearance, along with the ability to move or at least learn the basic elements of choreography.
Those who are familiar with the work of the Kraski group probably know that their work is distinguished not only by a powerful base consisting of lyrical compositions.
Each appearance on stage is a powerful flow of energy.
The producer made sure that the appearance of the soloists matched the name of the band. From time to time they went out in public with brightly colored hair.
Girls were not afraid of experiments. Pink, light green, purple, red, it seems that they completely trusted their stylists.
Alexey Voronov made sure that the Paints immediately received their portion of popularity.
Now that the team was already in full force, he begins to work on his debut album, which will be seen by the public very soon.
The peak of popularity in the biography of the Kraski group
The presentation of the first album entitled "You are already an adult" was held in the prestigious nightclub "Dugout".
In addition to the single, the name of which is consonant with the name of the collection, the musical group performed the compositions "One-two-three-four", "Somewhere far away", "Someone else's pain" and "My sun".
Another difference between the Kraski musical group was the “lightness” of the texts, which made it possible to remember the motives almost after the first listening. Thus, the group was able to quickly win the hearts of young people.
A little more time will pass and the track “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me” will sound on the radio. A year later, Paints shoot their first video clip for the single "Today I came home to my mother."
In 2012, the musicians organize their first serious concert. Then the young performers traveled almost the whole of Belarus. Paints visited 172 cities of the country.
The producer did not let down the efficiency of music lovers. The first album literally scattered throughout the country and beyond. More than 200 thousand copies were sold in Belarus.
The success of the musical group has already gone beyond the borders of their native country.
The Russian label "Real Records" released the disc on the domestic market. The collection was called Big Brother: The Yellow Album.
2003 was a turning point for the Kraski musical group. The fact is that two keyboardists left the group at once. Dmitry Orlovsky took the place of the keyboard players. Personal reasons “forced” Kraski and Katya Borovik to leave.
These were not all the difficulties that the soloists and producer Krasok faced.
The official office of the musical group was visited by a squad of policemen. There were several arrests and a massive search.
They were suspected of extortion. According to producer Alexei, the Krasok team suffered because of an attempt to cope with pirates who sold illegal copies of the band's debut album.
After the latest events, the musicians decide to move to the capital of Russia. In Moscow, the soloists record, and later present the album “I love you, Sergey: red album”.
The performers of the hits "My Mom" and "It's Winter in the City", included in the new collection, were able to become famous throughout Russia in a short period of time.
The soloist of the musical group was appreciated by male fans. Now she sparkles on the covers of glossy men's magazines, she is invited to popular shows and projects.
This allows you to further expand the popularity of Paints.
It's time to consolidate the success of the musical group.
Soon, the singers will present another album, which is called "Orange Sun: Orange Album". This record consisted exclusively of previously released remixes.
2004 turned out to be a very productive year for the musical group. Paints release a record called "Spring: Blue Album". The main track of the presented album is the song "Love is deceptive".
In support of the new album, the group goes on a big tour.
In 2004 Kraski visited major cities of the CIS countries.
The paints return to their beloved Moscow, and then the collection “Those Who Love: Purple Album” is released, for the single of which the musicians shot a video.
Andrey Gubin, beloved by everyone, also flashed here, who only increased the rating of Paints.
In 2006, Kraski encroached on foreign music lovers. Over the next couple of years, the musical group has already gathered full halls of fans of their work in the United States, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands.
At the peak of popularity, the musical group decides to leave Oksana Kovalevskaya. Ekaterina Sasha comes to the girl's place.
Oksana left the group because she was pregnant. In addition, she has long dreamed of building a solo career as a singer.
However, not only popularity pursued on the heels of the Paint group. The popularity was joined by some problems. Now, throughout the country, the twins of Colors were "breeding".
In 2009, the musicians will present the Green Album disc. From a commercial point of view, it turns out to be a failure. But this nuance did not affect the overall popularity of the group.
In 2012, Catherine was replaced by singer Marina Ivanova. By this time, the choreographers had already left the Paints. Now Mikhail Shevyakov and Vitaly Kondrakov were responsible for the dance part of the program.
During this period of time, the producer of the musical group releases a biographical book of the Kraski group.
Alexey called his book "Paints-Ascension". In it, producer Krasok described the problems that the soloists of the group faced on their way to the musical Olympus.
In the summer of 2012, the name of the group shone on all the newspapers. The fact is that Marina Ivanova was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend. The young man ambushed Ivanova and forced her into the car.
Luckily, she was able to get through to her mother and the police soon found her.
In 2015, the same Marina Ivanova left the Paint group. The singer was replaced by the attractive and talented Dasha Subbotina. It was she who became the new face of Colors.
