Pizza is a Russian group with a very tasty name. The creativity of the team cannot be attributed to fast food. Their songs are "stuffed" with lightness and good musical taste. The genre ingredients of Pizza's repertoire are very diverse. Here, music lovers will get acquainted with rap, and with pop, and with reggae, mixed with funk.
The main audience of the musical group is youth. The melodiousness of Pizza's songs cannot but bewitch. Under the songs of the collective, you can dream, love, create and make plans for life. The soloists of Pizza admit that "heavy" songs are alien to them. Yes, and one appearance of the vocalist is enough to understand that the songs are more than just radiant.
History of creation and composition
The musical group Pizza was created in 2010. Sergey Prikazchikov is the founder and leader of a Russian pop group. In addition to Sergei, the team included Nikolai Smirnov and Tatyana Prikazchikova, Sergei's younger sister.
Sergei and Tatyana were born and raised in Ufa. Brother and sister began to study music for a reason. Mom and dad were professional singers. It is known that Sergei Prikazchikov Sr. is a soloist of the Bashkir Philharmonic. When the time came, Sergei and Tatyana were sent to a music school. There the brother mastered the guitar, and the sister the piano.
The children really enjoyed playing musical instruments. In addition, Sergei and Tatyana recall that they had the opportunity to attend their father's performances.
Sergey, for example, says that he was overwhelmed with an inexplicable feeling of ascension. Even in childhood, Sergei realized that he could not imagine his life without music.
It seems that the further fate of Sergei and Tatyana was determined. They do well enough in school. Sergei was the first to receive a diploma of secondary education. The young man enters the Ufa School of Arts.
Sergey came to the school with a single desire - to create and rap. There, the young man meets other enthusiasts, and the guys begin to share their experience and knowledge. In 2009, Sergei takes his sister Tatyana, and together they move to the capital of Russia - Moscow. There is exactly a year left until the moment when music lovers get acquainted with the wonderful songs of the Pizza group.
Music group Pizza
The visit to Moscow did not begin with the recording of songs, but with a job search. Since Tatyana and Sergey did not have housing in the capital, they had to look for a tenant. At first, they earned money by singing songs at corporate parties, in cafes and restaurants.
Against the background of all this, Sergey constantly went to production companies, made arrangements and, at the same time, wrote music. The singer himself recalls: “Help came when we did not expect it at all. There were people who were interested in my work. They offered to sign the contract themselves. It turned out that my music is needed.
The history of the name of the group Pizza
Sergei began to think about under what creative pseudonym to appear before the public. And then he decided that it would be called Pizza. “No, at the time when I came up with the name of my group, I did not eat pizza. I just really like this word. You can't look for meaning in the name.
In addition, with such an unusual name, you can constantly experiment. The originality of the musical group just rolled over. For example, records with the first single "Friday", written in 2011, were sent by Sergey and the producer to radio stations in pizza boxes. The recipients appreciated the humor and unusual approach.
A year later, Pizza presents its debut album, which was called "Kitchen", for review. Immediately after the official presentation, the soloists of the musical group began filming clips for the hits "Friday", "Nadya", "Paris". The first filmed in Los Angeles, the second - in Kyiv, the third - in Paris.
Pizza fans were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the clips. In addition, they were very thoughtful and incredibly beautiful. The same Sergei worked on the production. But, the shooting took place not without the participation of a competent producer.
In 2014, Pizza presents the second studio album, which was called "To the whole planet Earth". The cover of the record was decorated with a pizza themed logo. And the content of the second studio album led the fans to a pleasant delight.
"Elevator", "Tuesday", "Man from the Mirror" and other musical works are permanently registered in the music charts. For such a breakthrough, Pizza received a victory in the OOPS! Choice Awards" and "Muz-TV". And the track "Lift" in 2015 became the "Song of the Year".
Critical acclaim
Music critics immediately called the leader of Pizza a real nugget, and began to decompose his music into genre components. But, there was some hitch, because Pizza's songs are a real musical mix. Sergei himself calls his creation nothing more than "urban soul".
Sergey says: “With my songs, I didn’t fit more than one musical genre. Then I told myself that I would create by myself, and I didn’t care about any limits. Here I am making music without style, without frames.
One of the main rules of the Pizza group is only live performance. At her performances, Sergei's recognizable vocals are accompanied by Nikolai's guitar, and the only girl in the group combines playing the keys and violin on stage.
The soloists of the musical group Pizza are very hardworking. Besides the fact that they regularly organize performances, they are working on the recordings of the new album. So, in 2016, another studio album is released, which is called "Tomorrow". Here you can also find the duet of Sergei and Bianchi. Together, the singers recorded the track "Fly".
In the same 2016, Sergey recorded a track with the Russian rapper Karandash. Later, the guys shot the video "Reflection". The singers were able to fully express themselves in the presented video clip. The video turned out to be juicy, and most importantly, not without meaning.
A good experience for the Pizza group was participation in the recording of soundtracks for Russian films. For example, the song "Who will you be" sounds in the 3D cartoon "Our Masha and the Magic Nut" by Yegor Konchalovsky.
Team Pizza now
The soloists of the musical group Pizza admit that relaxing is not about them. They, as always, have a lot of ideas regarding their work. In 2017, the guys played more than 100 concerts. And Sergey promised his best friend to release at least three singles a year. And it is worth recognizing that the lead singer of Pizza is a man of his word.
In 2018, the guys released several video clips. The most successful video "Marina" in terms of the number of views did not want to leave the music video charts for a long time. The chorus of this song was eaten into my head after the first listening. It was a success!
In 2019, Pizza continues to perform for its fans. The soloist of the musical group is silent about the release date of the new album. He is an active participant in social networks. There you can learn a lot of information about his life, as well as listen to songs performed by him.
