Group chili soloist biography
St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. She always attracted the audience with her atypical contralto for female vocals: many took her voice for the male. On this basis, rumors arose every now and then that a man actually soloes in “Chi-Li”. The group was at the peak of popularity at the turn of X and X, after which they began to forget about them. But in May, the Chi-Li took part in the show "You are Superstar", again loudly declaring yourself.
Upon coincidence, in the year, Zabiyaka already participated in this project - as an invited young artist. Singer Irina Zabiyaka childhood Irina was born in the Ukrainian city of Kirovograd now Kropyvnitsky in December. The unusual surname of the singer is not at all a pseudonym. A low voice is also her own, not the “done”: the surname is the most Ukrainian.
In childhood, of course, they teased. But now everyone is asking about her. Many stars come up with the names specifically, and we have everything - the voice, the surname - the real! Her mother, Zinaida Zabiyaka, after the birth of her daughter left the work in the trading fleet, where she had previously worked directly in the team of the vessel. When the baby was a year, the woman transported her to Kaliningrad.
Parents parted even before the girl began to realize the world around her, and when she was five, he died of cancer. To avoid uncomfortable questions, my mother composed a story for Ira about the pope Chilian revolutionary. The girl later told her friends to her friends, for which she received the nickname Chile. The family lived well. Zinaida often denied herself in everything, if only her daughter was full and dressed.
It became easier in the summer when the girl went to her grandmother in the village, where everything was - from dairy products, to vegetables and fruits, grown right there. Chi-Li-Irina's heart remembers well a black and white TV in their apartment with her mother, and a bobberry tape recorder with the records of Abbe and Demis Russos, whose songs really liked her mother. And on tape recorders, Irina’s notes have been preserved: she sang perfectly since childhood, easily remembered the songs and wrote them down on the recorder.
And, according to the singer, up to 13 years old, she had a regular voice, but after the removal of adenoids, he sounded “in an adult”. Zinaida kept her daughter in hedgehog mittens. Ira was supposed to go to bed at exactly nine in the evening - up to the 11th grade. For this reason, classmates and friends chuckled at her: while everyone was walking dumping, she was lying in bed and forced herself to fall asleep.
Once Irina was late and was late for a walk for half an hour, because of which she immediately received a reprimand. Thinking with her mother, she left the house and stayed with her friends. Only after that my mother reconciled with the fact that her daughter was no longer a child. Mom raised me with a modest girl. I have never been prohibited from shoes, mini-skirts and makeup, most importantly, everything had to be used in moderation so as not to cross the line of vulgarity.
The boys also did not scare my mother, but she always strictly limited the time of walking after school. Traditionally, at nine in the evening I was supposed to be at home. Only, you know, a shotgun is impossible to limit! Youth, like all her peers, in school years, Irina was looking for herself in different circles and sections. She tried to sew, and dance, and draw, but nowhere was there for a long time, interest was cooling quickly.
In the eleventh grade, Irina was engaged in the courses of hairdressers, and after school she continued to master the subtleties of the profession in the lyceum. In parallel, she put experiments on her own hair and at some point spoiled them so much that she had to ask classmates to cut her to zero. Moreover, she even liked the radically short haircut. In those years, Irina met the guys from the hippie party, traveled a lot of hitchhiking, learned how to play the guitar and wrote the first songs, including Omut, which later entered the debut album “Chi-Li”.
Having accustomed the musical career to travel by hitchhiking, Irina saved well and collected the amount sufficient to pay for the entrance to the night club in a week. It was in one of these "party" evenings of the year that Irina's fateful acquaintance with Sergey Karpov took place, with whom she later founded the Chi-Li group. Sergei Karpov with his team performed in the very club.
The girl was attracted by his leather pants. Standing at the stage, she tried to determine whether it was real leather or not, and held out her hand to touch. Sergey noticed the girl and remembered. But the “official” acquaintance occurred somewhere in a month in the company of their acquaintances. Karpov heard Irina’s singing and called her a soloist to his Rio group.
In this capacity, she went with him on tour to Poland. They performed mainly at discos. Visitors reacted interestingly to the voice of Zabiyaki: barely hearing her singing, they immediately stopped dancing, froze and stretched towards the stage. When the tour ended, Sergey invited her to soloe in the new Chi-Lee project. In the year, ambitious musicians went to conquer Moscow.
As Zabiyak recalled, at that time she was not afraid of anything, and she did not doubt the success of the enterprise.Leaving her hometown to the Russian capital, Irina did not even take a warm jacket with her - she was sure that she would have money for a new and not only. In the calculations, she missed only a month. The contract with the production company Velvet Music was signed in October.
Prior to this, the group members lived in an apartment with a friend. Irina earned a living by hairdressing, and Sergey made commercials for the radio. In parallel, both worked on the repertoire. In June, the Chi-Lee debuted on the stage of the Leningrad club, and three months later their debut album “Crime” was released. His main hit was the song “Summer”, which Irina did not like due to a stupid chorus, but, nevertheless, lasted for the upper lines of the charts for several weeks, and the clip in the “Hippar” style spun for a long time on music channels.
And Irina plunged into the amazing world of show business: shooting in clips, photo shoots for men's magazines, and roles in films. But Glory had the opposite side. For example, she remembered the shooting of the clip "Heart" that took place in Egypt. At the beginning of the clip there is a scene in which Irina emerges from the pool. This short fragment was shot for three hours.
The water in the pool, despite good weather, did not have time to warm up in the morning. After each double, I had to warm up in the sauna. Several times she starred topless for Maxim and Playboy magazines. When her pictures from the “playboy” sent her, it turned out that her breast in the photo was not her, but a photocheted. As for the cinema, in the year the audience could see her in the comedy “The Best Film 3-DE”, in which the Kamedi Claba stars starred.
Zabiyaka appeared on the screen with a cameo. Participants understood that this threatened with a decrease in popularity, but they felt that the time had come for such a decisive step. Irina admitted that at that time she was simply tired of responsibility and the realization that you constantly owe something to someone. The creative career of the Chi-Lee did not stop there.
They changed the name at “Chi-MLLI”, performed at concerts, took part in festivals, released the album “The Wind” in the voice, which received restrained reviews of critics. Irina participated in photo shoots, gave interviews, however, she began to appear less often on television. As the singer explained, her name was for various talk shows, but she was not close to her. She responded only to sentences that aroused her interest.
Zabiyak did not seek to artificially maintain its popularity. In the year, she mentioned in an interview that her group has been cooperating with Viktor Drobish for some time for some time. So, under his auspices, the song “I Draw Spring” was released in “Chi-Li”. Irina's personal life Zabiyaki after meeting with Sergey Karpov Irina connected not only business, but also personal relations with him.
They have been a couple for ten years.
Over time, they began to feel like relatives rather than beloved. The novel gradually went on “no”, and the related feeling was preserved. Her actual husband was originally a director, later went into alternative music. At the time of acquaintance with Irina, he did not know anything about the Chi-Lee group. Irina Zabiyaka: When the husband becomes a relative to you, it is time to disperse in the year the couple had a son Matvey.
After that, the singer and her family left out of town, renting a house thirty kilometers from Moscow. Here, for the first time in her life, she felt comfortable, being in silence, far from the bustle of the city. Irina Zabiyaka with her son Matvey Irina Zabiyaka now at the beginning of the year Zabiyaka pleased fans with a new clip for the song “Spring does not know how to wait”. The Chi-Lee group fought for the victory with other groups, whose music at one time broke into the tops of the hit parades: “God's cow”, “forum”, “arrows”, “virus”.
