Prime Minister Group: old line-up, hits and participants

Worldwide recognition and success of male pop groups could not in no way affect the Russian stage. Of course, many of them can not be put on a par with the universal-scale giants that the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and many others can safely be called, but still they managed to inspire many domestic producers to create no less popular ones Public boyz-bands. One of the successful projects, undoubtedly, was the group "Prime Minister", the old composition of which is especially popular among the youth of the 1990-2000s.

Who decided to create a group "Prime Minister"?

The idea of creating a creative team consisting exclusively of attractive guys chanting about beautiful girls came to the head of producer Evgeny Fridlyand. Initially, his desire was to create a group that could be rightfully called a "mix" of foreign groups "Bekstrit Boys" and "Boyzon."

The group "Prime Minister" (the old staff) was created in an unusual way. Participants of the band did not choose the leadership of the collective, as it usually happens, on casting, vocal competitions.

How were participants selected for the team?

The first person Friedland heard was Jean Grigoriev-Milimerov. A talented performer at that time worked in one of the Moscow restaurants, at the table of which by chance and turned out to be a producer. Having performed the song of Stevie Wonder, Jean even then attracted the attention of Friedland.

And after a while Konstantin Arsenyev, a friend and poet of the band's organizer, brought to him three different young people who were different from each other, but talented and with some experience musical parties.

Group members

Subsequently, they were joined by the Prime Minister. The group (the old line-up included only three performers) was represented by several participants.

Jean Grigoriev-Milimerov

Colorful gypsy appearance of Jean was at that time his significant advantage. A bright, dark-eyed, swarthy, high-growth guy was initially distinguished from the collective. Coming from a family of artists, he studied music from childhood, learning to play the violin. As already mentioned, the group "Prime Minister" (the old line-up) for him was the first opportunity to make a statement in the show business.

Pete Jason

From the very childhood, the musical enthusiasm of children was supported by parents in all their endeavors. Pete has an older brother, who, he said, had a huge influence on the music career of the younger.

Having passed a serious vocal school at the Moscow Choral Chapel, the future participant was ready to join the ranks of the collective. The Prime Minister group (the old line-up, the photo of which is presented here, was remembered by a number of hits, where solo lines were usually given to Jason) became for him the first serious step in the show business, and cultivated his vocal data of Pete on Bach's works and Mozart.

Dmitry Lanskoy and Marat Chanyshev

Dmitry Lanskoy - participant of the quartet from the moment of foundation in 1998 to 2001. I managed to record 2 albums with the band, which was remembered by the fans.

Marat Chanyshev was a successful replacement for the departed Lansky from the collective "Prime Minister". The group (the old line-up whose songs are still loved by the people, shot the clip "Takaya-rastakaya" - the author of the hit is Chanyshev) has significantly changed with the arrival of this young performer.

Vyacheslav Bodolika

He joined the band during the recording of hits "Atomic Love", "Dirty Dancing". Comprehensively developed young man, originally from Moldova, was engaged in dancing and studied at a music school. Planning to continue his career as a performer, he entered the Chisinau Conservatoire. From the third year he was part of the boyz-band.

Why "Prime Minister"?

By the way, the group "Prime Minister", whose old composition still has many fans, got its name as a result of the political crisis of the late 90's. About how the quartet is called, the participants learned when they saw the first disc with their hits on sale.
