Roman Pashkov: from "Gradus" to solo career

Rapidly on the platform of the Olympus band "Gradusy" burst. Roman Pashkov and Ruslan Tagiyev became the "Breakthrough of the Year" in 2010 (the Muz-TV Award). A few years later the project ended with a big April concert in Moscow. Each of the guys went their own way. Pa-Shock is the new alias for the main character of the article. But is it worth despair for the fans?

Revival of the group

In the summer of 2016 it became known that Yana Rudkovskaya signed a contract with musicians to promote their work. Condition one - the revival of the collective, which did not stop the concert activity with the old hits. In their active two studio albums: "Feeling of dexterity", recorded in 2014, and "Naked" (2011), which was very popular.

About the desire to find a new producer, Roman Pashkov expressed himself back in February, but no one thought that it would be Rudkovskaya. Under the terms of the contract, Dima Bilan began to engage in the musical part of the project.

In the same year appeared a mini-album with five tracks. Two of them were filmed clips - "Valigulyay" and "Gradus-100". The latter was attended by friends of musicians, who remain their loyal fans: singer Elena Temnikova, video blogger Sasha Spielberg and figure skater Adeline Sotnikova. It was not without the participation of Yana Rudkovskaya herself, Polina Gagarina and the new music producer of the band Dima Bilan. On the 2017th, the tour schedule is scheduled, which indicates the revival of the Gradus.

Roman Pashkov: biography of a musician

A native of Stavropol, Roman was born on September 18. In 2017 he will be 40 years old. The most significant in life people met in his youth. With Ruslan Tagiyev studied in parallel classes, having met on the basis of love for rap. For Anna's current wife Tereshchenko was the first love with which life joined after a long separation.

Attention to study did not differ, since childhood he was fond of handball. Together with the sports team he got to the disco, and then radically changed his life. I quit the sport and began to learn to play the guitar. I decided to associate my profession with music, enrolling in the institute for directing faculty and starting a career on local television. He was quite a popular music program host. Everything changed when he was expelled from the institute for omissions.

Life began in the youth musical party, the composition of their own compositions. Roman Pashkov is the author of most hits, which are subsequently performed by the band "Gradusy". Becoming popular in the homeland, Pashkov and Tagirov went to Moscow, dreaming about a solo career.

Creative way

At first both had a hard time. To earn a living, Roman had to be at the construction site, where he mastered the profession of gypsum cardboard. Then he sold cell phones, while simultaneously offering music companies demo versions of their recordings. But no one was interested in musical material. He played in the teams "Locust", "10 legs". Everything changed when, at Tagirov's apartment, Roman Pashkov put forward the idea of creating his own pop group. After 15 years of dating guys have united and for half a year have written about 15 songs, which later became the calling card of the new collective. They were joined by: guitarists Dmitry Fidel (Bakhtinov) and Arsen Beglyarov, drummer Victor Golovanov. All of them are from Stavropol.

The first concert took place in May 2008. What was presented to the audience after the heavy rehearsal process of Gradusa? Songs "Director", "Radio Rain", "Rogue", "7:00". It is interesting that for their performance the guys had to rent a club, paying their own money. But already in 2009 the producer center "Azbuka PRO" begins cooperation with them, and the composition "Director" gets into the rotation of the majority of radio stations. In 2011, the first album comes out, and, it would seem, the guys are on top of success. Why did the fans hear about the completion of the project in 2013?

Personal life

Roman Pashkov explains the decision to build a solo career, which he dreamed of all his life. There are no conflicts between the frontmen of the group. Moreover, Roman is the godfather of the daughter of Tagirova - Eve.

He himself connected his life with the countrywoman Anna Tereshchenko. When the boys went to Moscow, Anna was 17. Parents insisted that the girl stay in Stavropol and was educated. She became a stylist, moved to New York and even married.

After 10 years, the former beloved crossed the web to understand: parting was a mistake. After the meeting in Moscow, the girl decided to leave the US. They played a modest wedding, and in August 2015 the son Daniil appeared in the family.

Being the author of texts and music, Pashkov wrote not only for the "Gradusy" group. The songs "Do not be afraid, I'm with you", "Monday", "Kissing for a long time" are recorded in the solo career. But most music lovers want to hear his works performed by a beloved band. Hence, the project "Degrees" will still live.
