Sergey Boldyrev is a talented singer, musician, songwriter. He is known to fans as the founder of the rock band Cloud Maze. His work is followed not only in Russia. He found his audience in Europe and Asia.
Starting to "make" music in the grunge style, Sergey ended up with alternative rock. There was a period when the musician focused on commercial pop, but for this period of time, he tries not to go beyond synth-pop-punk.
Childhood and youth of Sergei Boldyrev
The artist's date of birth is May 10, 1991. He was born in the heart of the Russian Federation - Moscow. From early childhood, Sergei was interested in the sound of musical instruments, but most of all he was a fan of playing the piano.
Parents who tried to support their son's undertakings sent Boldyrev Jr. to vocal lessons at the age of seven. Despite such a young age, he consciously approached his studies, dreaming that he would become famous in the future.
At the age of 13, the young man writes the first tracks. Around the same period of time, he collects the first team. The group included Boldyrev's classmates. The guys were on the same wavelength. The musicians enjoyed the rehearsals and impromptu performances wildly. The brainchild of Sergei was called The shame.
The team members rehearsed without missing every opportunity that came up. Impressed by the sound of grunge and American rock, the guys created cool-sounding tracks. Each of the members of The shame dreamed of conquering the musical Olympus.
Now Sergey devoted the lion's share of his time to the development of his project. This did not prevent him from studying at school and delighting his parents with good grades in his diary. By the way, he graduated from high school as an external student.
After receiving a matriculation certificate, Boldyrev entered the Financial Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation. He received an economic education.
Sergei didn't stop there. By the age of 23, the young man had two higher educations. The young man received a red diploma from the Russian Academy of National Economy.
The creative path of Sergei Boldyrev
In 2006, Boldyrev, together with his team, entered the professional scene for the first time. The guys performed at the site of the Relax institution. Oversights in organizational issues prevented the audience from fully assessing the level of the artists.
Boldyrev after the speech made the right conclusions. First, the musician realized that he needed to work on the quality of the music. And secondly, pay maximum attention to the development of the project.
“Our goal is to create high-quality and beautiful music, I hope it is and will be such, although this, of course, depends on how it is perceived…”.
During this period of time, the group rehearses a lot. Subsequent performances were already an order of magnitude better than the appearance on the Relax stage. The musicians celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the founding of the rock band with a joint concert with the Underwood group.
The Shame did not cope with the creative crisis. In the team, there was more and more room for creative differences. In 2009, the team ceased to exist.
