Popularity is not always gained through participation in diverse contests and auditions. Sometimes an accidental meeting with the right people and even clumsy home video leads to fame. Nikolai Voronov is exactly the person who managed to become famous thanks to a private video posted furtively on the popular Youtube site. We will tell about his history, biography and creative successes in this article.
General information from life
Nikolai was born in May 1991 in Moscow. His father was Alexander Yaroslavovich Voronov, a well-known lecturer in the department of sociology and humanities at the International University of Nature, Society and Man “Dubna”. Since childhood, Nikolasha, as his mother called him, loved to listen to music. He could sit for hours with his eyes closed and enjoy his favorite tune.
Getting a music education
From the age of five, the Voronova couple decided to send the boy to the Gnesins' music school, where he could learn to play the piano. Nikolai Voronov loved to learn something new, so he happily surrendered to the hands of teachers. Here the musician weaned for 12 years.
However, due to excessive zeal, the young man became too irritable, which ultimately led to a nervous breakdown. Therefore, the parents and themselves decided to leave the music school and temporarily pause their studies. For the same reason, Nikolai was forced to refuse to participate in a prestigious competition held in 2000 in Holland.
In 2008, he entered the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where the young man was trained under the strict guidance of Ledenev. It was thanks to perseverance and incredible hearing that student Voronov was able to write first the first poem for a male choir and orchestra, then six new pieces for violin and orchestra, and then come up with parts for cello, violin, string orchestra, viola and celesta.
Passion for the Russian "pop"
Along with classical music, Voronov Nikolay Alexandrovich was carried away by the domestic "pop". According to him, his interest in this musical style arose from the moment when he was presented with the first synthesizer. It was this instrument that helped compose the following talents for young talent:
- "I'm waiting for you".
- "People who immediately."
- "White Dragonfly of love".
At the same time, the last topic about dragonfly became a real hit. Later, Nikolai came up with other songs, many of which became popular. Among them you can find such works as:
- "Casino".
- "Fruit tenderness."
- "Run."
- "Barricade."
- "Country."
- "Forelock, kamon" and others.
One of the last works written by the musician is “Newspapers write.” In total, the performer created over 90 of his own songs, many of which he performs and allows other musicians and artists to do this.
Tour
Feeling the strength of a talented performer within himself, at the end of 2008 Nikolay Voronov decided to go on his first tour in the country. In organizing concerts, the musician was assisted by various personal managers. However, he decided to refuse their services after about 2-3 years from the start of the first tour.
Voronov Nikolay (musician): entertaining facts from life
At the beginning of his creative career and study at the university, Nikolai met wonderful people, composed music, poetry and drew inspiration from the works of famous classics. In his life, unusual, rarely curious, but more often remembering situations often occurred. For example, the most memorable event for him was the first appearance on the stage. This happened, he said, in mid-2008 during a small concert in Dubna, organized by representatives of the Solyanka club. At that moment, the composer and performer made a splash.
By preliminary standards, at that time over 1, 500 spectators had gathered in the hall, who came to listen to music performed by Voronov. Later, Nikolai Voronov himself (the songs written by the composer can be found in this article) posted the same musical number on YouTube. Surprisingly, this video got a huge amount of views and positive comments.
The second moment of the musician’s fame was the New Year’s concert of 2008-2009, broadcast by the 2x2 television channel. Thanks to the popularity gained in YouTube, the composer and performer Voronov was even noticed by the famous music critic Artemy Troitsky. According to some reports, it was he who initiated the departure of Nikolai with the hit “White Dragonfly of Love” performed by Quest Pistols for Eurovision 2009.
And although they really managed to file a similar application, the commission did not approve this initiative. The refusal of the persons responsible for the competition was associated with a violation of the rules. The fact is that the song has already become a hit. It was broadcast on radio and television, which was strictly prohibited until the start of the contest.
Musician Awards and Prizes
In the summer of 2009, Nikolai Voronov was awarded an honorary prize called "Steppe Wolf". In addition, Nikolai repeatedly became the winner of various prizes and awards.

He also runs his site. He also has an official VKontakte page. In his free time, a young man likes to ride a bike, pick mushrooms and visit the conservatory. We will tell about how Nikolai Voronov starred in television shows and programs ("Comedy Club" and others).
Participation in the "Comedy Club"
Sometimes Nikolai is invited to various talk shows and programs of different orientations. For example, once he became an honored guest of the popular Russian comedy club show. During the live broadcast, the musician entered into an amusing dialogue with the program hosts, spoke briefly about his work and even sang a few lines from his hits: “Barrikadnaya” and “Dragonfly of Love”. By the way, it was on this program that the performer announced that the song about the dragonfly was almost 15 years old. It turned out that he wrote it at the age of eleven.
Personal life of Nicholas
If the musician speaks very readily about his creative successes, then he prefers to remain silent about his personal life or quickly changes the subject. From his words it becomes clear that he has not yet thought about a serious relationship. However, he boldly reports that he likes blondes with "mouth-watering, chubby shapes."
