The reason for this was the desire to perform their own songs.

In 1995, Murat Nasyrov brought his recordings to the Soyuz studio. The producers liked the singer’s voice and they released the single “It’s Just a Dream”; the song “Step” became a radio hit. But the single, which included 3 songs, sold poorly. The studio did not release it on CD, only on cassette.

The poet Sergei Kharin, having written the lyrics of the song “The Boy Wants to Tambov” - the Russian version of “Tic Tic Tac”, by the Brazilian group Carrapicho (Carrapisho), turned to the Soyuz studio to find a singer who would perform his song.

Murat Nasyrov(born Murat Ismailovich Nasyrov) (December 13, 1969, Alma-Ata - January 19, 2007, Moscow) - pop singer and composer.

Biography

Murat was youngest child in a large Uyghur family in the city of Almaty. He is Uyghur by nationality. Despite living in the city, the family was a very devout Muslim (his father was the imam of the main mosque of Alma-Ata). In the wake of Turkic nationalism that swept Kazakhstan in the early 90s, Murat’s family had a negative attitude towards his attempts to go to Moscow, sing in Russian, and also live with a native of Estonia and have two children with her.

Music career

After serving in the army, in 1991 Nasyrov entered the Gnessin Music School for vocal class.

On the All-Union television competition young performers "Yalta-91" took first place with Alla Pugacheva's song "The Half-Educated Wizard". Nasyrov became popular in the late 1990s thanks to his adaptation of the song “Tic, tic, tac” (Bate forte o tambor) by the Brazilian group Carrapicho - “The boy wants to go to Tambov.”

Generally, Murat Nasyrov was more of a musician than an outstanding singer. His work, like most Russian pop music of the early and mid-90s, was mainly imitative of Western stars (for example, Enrique Iglesias). After the gradual fading of popularity on the wave of music of new times, and best quality, his popularity faded even more. Neither the scandalous PR affair with Alena Apina, nor attempts to promote the dubious singing abilities of his partner helped. Touring stopped, and Murat increasingly had to simply perform in nightclubs and at private parties for 150,000-250,000 rubles. But he dreamed of something else. His popularity was, of course, great in his native Kazakhstan.

Circumstances of death

On the night of January 19-20, 2007, at the age of 37, Nasyrov committed suicide by jumping, according to a preliminary version, in a state of drug (according to some sources, alcohol) intoxication from the balcony of his Moscow apartment, located on the 5th floor of building No. 15, building 1 along Vucheticha street. Initial media reports spread incorrect information that he had jumped from a balcony while holding an icon. However, it later turned out that he had his own portrait in his hands.

According to the cohabitant, Natalya Boyko, the death occurred as a result of an accident. He was buried in the city of Alma-Ata.

A few days later, the results of the autopsy performed at the Botkin hospital were made public: no traces of drugs or alcohol were found. The official version is suicide due to depression.

Wife - Natalya Boyko; Daughter - Leah - born in 1996; Son - Akim - born in 2000.

Murat Ismailovich Nasyrov born on December 13, 1969 in Alma-Ata into a simple family - my mother worked at a plastic products factory, my father was a driver. Father and mother, like many other Uighurs, emigrated in 1958 from China to Kazakhstan. And although outwardly they quickly assimilated, inside the house, orthodox Uyghur traditions continued to be preserved. Murata he was not allowed to go to discos, he had to return home strictly by nine in the evening and report to his parents for all his actions. In family Nasyrovs It was customary to call father and mother respectfully - “you”.

Murat became the fifth child in the family - he already had two brothers and two sisters, and he became the latest. All the children were gifted thanks to their father, whose voice was of indescribable beauty, he sang folk songs and played various instruments. Father Murata was so musically developed that all children partially passed on his vocal gift.

Despite his innate abilities, in sultry Almaty Murat and did not think about a career as a singer. He was roughly in school and especially liked to “click” math problems, alternating them with experiments in physics for a change. And he would have become a standard Soviet engineer if it weren’t for the yard boys and, most importantly, his older brother with his giant Bryansk tape recorder.

He was not spared his passion for sports: boxing, freestyle wrestling, fencing, but his favorite was football. He even played for the Enbek team in Almaty, mainly in defense and midfield. However, on school tournaments was always on the attack. I was rooting for Kairat. I even had to serve balls at the games of my favorite team. After school, I was faced with a choice of what to be: either enroll in physics and mathematics, or devote myself to art.

“At the age of eight, I was taught to play the guitar. I picked up everything very quickly, picked out the chords, and soon I was teaching my peers myself. And thanks to my older brother, I played the Beatles from a young age. Then came “ Led Zeppelin", "Deep Purple", "Pink Floyd"and others. I, of course, sang all this. And even then my friends said: you have a talent for imitating!" - said in one of the interviews Murat.

When the country was overwhelmed" Modern Talking", he was already a school graduate. Of course, Thomas Anders could not help but leave an indelible mark on the souls of schoolchildren of the perestroika era. While the girls sobbed into their pillows from passionate love for the Western idol, Nasyrov... “copied him “for a penny.” Friends, having heard him sing, said that with such a voice he should become a superstar. Apparently, then something turned upside down in his head. In general, thanks to the “detrimental” influence Western culture the country has lost the average engineer, football player and “kitchen door” guitarist. But I acquired it - without five minutes of the artist.

The first minute of this “five minutes” flew by... in the army. After school Murat went to repay his debt to his homeland in Ashgabat. Actually, that’s where his active musical activity in the so-called creative team division called “Time”, where he met Andrei Merkulov, who later became the singer’s comrade-in-arms and companion in the “New Port” group. With the first “war” tours came (and has not lost since then) the feeling of the stage. After such “hardening” there was nowhere to retreat, and Murat decided to go to conquer the expanses of show business in Moscow.

According to Muslim tradition younger son in the family he should remain with his parents, brightening up their old age. But Murat informed them that he wanted to study music and quickly left.

Having parted with my home, Nasyrov hoped for the warm hospitality of the white stone. However... Moscow appeared before the Kazakh youth as a gray city - exhausted faces, empty counters. Neither beautiful life, neither beautiful women He didn't see it at first.

From a wealthy family, where he did not have to think about where to get a piece of bread, he came to a completely “hungry” (for himself) city. Before entering Gnesinka Murat He simply lived from hand to mouth, somehow working part-time to rent a room. Friends and acquaintances helped out - they invited us to visit, gave us water and food. And yet, the first bastions of Moscow - exams at the Gnessin Institute - were taken. Competition of 40 people per place Murat overcame and lived the unforgettable life of a Moscow student...

The next Everest he conquered was the Yalta-91 competition. Nasyrov I carefully prepared for it together with Gnesinka’s teacher - and received the Grand Prix. The jury - Igor Krutoy, Vladimir Matetsky, Laima Vaikule, Jaak Joala - was unanimous in their decision, giving the highest rating to the Kazakh boy, who was the first of all the contestants to perform Alla Pugacheva's hit.

“I was lucky that in Russia I was not perceived as, roughly speaking, a chump. I did not seem to be a pure representative of some well-known nation, but a mysterious exotic mestizo. The first thing I noticed was my appearance. I always tried to be neat, well dressed, combed, stylish. Some people said: “He’s kind of strange, this Murat! He always shows off, is boring, is constantly dissatisfied with something." The girl Manyasha defended me from all attacks. In her speeches, she said that I was not playing some character, that I was like this, although boring, I was creative. That's all. changed when I passed qualifying round for the competition of young performers. And after the victory, everyone suddenly saw a myriad of new talents in me. People perceive a successful person in a completely different way. I found myself at the pinnacle of fame and love." - said Murat subsequently.

However, absolute victory in the competition did not mean instant ascension to the stellar Olympus. Some proposals appeared, but after a while everything fell apart. Desperate Murat decided to give up all-encompassing fame: “Then I thought that you could have your own audience without chasing popularity - and got a job singing in a tavern. It was hard labour. But many people liked what I was doing, and they began to invite me to other places." So, in one of the clubs, fellow countrymen saw each other in the cigarette smoke: Murat met the group "A" Studio.

Of course, the Kazakh brothers could not help but help and introduced the young Almaty native to the then just beginning producer Arman Davletyarov. After several performances at show parties Murata Nasyrova was discovered by the bohemians of the capital, and with the release of the debut album “Someone Will Forgive...” also by the broad masses of music lovers. By the way, it included a cover version of the song “The Boy Wants to Go to Tambov”, written by Sergei Kharin. Then the Soyuz studio had the rights to it. The composition stayed at the top of the music charts for almost 4 weeks.

In 1996-1997, Alexander Iratov, producer of Alena Apina, worked in the concert department of the Soyuz studio. Maitre, appreciating young singer, offered his participation. Eventually Murat and Alena worked in the same program. Everyone sang their own songs. Including the main hits: Nasyrov- “The boy wants to go to Tambov”, Apina - “Electric train”. That is why the program received the name “Electric Train to Tambov”. But soon the duet number “Moonlit Nights” appeared. And in the fall of 1997 - a program of the same name. On April 1 and 2, 1998, the artists successfully showed it in the main concert program countries in the State Central Concert Hall "Russia". By that time in the repertoire Nasyrova there are new hits about beautiful love, the most notable of which is “I Am You.” And soon followed the premiere of the next album, “My Story.”

In 1999 Murat Nasyrov started singing in English. The singer’s new hobby was greeted coolly by fans, who still asked to perform “I am you” and “The boy wants to go to Tambov” at concerts, but not new English-language experiments.

In 2000 Nasyrov became interested in the Latin American rhythms that had become fashionable and released his third album, “All this was not with me.” Two years later followed by the much less “Latin” and in many ways more intimate record “Wake Me Up”. The first track of the album is dedicated to his son Nasyrova Akim, and the track "Alina" - the famous Russian athlete Alina Kabaeva.

In 2004 Murat Nasyrov completed work on the Uyghur album "Khaldym Yalguz" full of national flavor. He wrote all the material for the record himself. Moreover, in the studio Murat played most of the instruments used on the album.

After this work Nasyrov did not release a single record, although his new songs were periodically published on various collections of popular music and were among the most popular compositions in various charts.

Nasyrov also performed Russian versions of songs for the screensavers of the Disney animated series "Black Cape" (in 1993) and "DuckTales" (in 1994).

Personal life

This is how he recalled his hobbies Murat: “It was hammered into my mind by my parents that my wife should only be a Muslim, a girl of our faith and preferably of our nation. And at school I liked beautiful Russian girls. But I honestly forced myself not to even look in their direction. And I was friends with Kazakh girls or other oriental girls. But I never had a strong attraction to them. And yet, at the age of eighteen, before the army, I fell incredibly passionately in love with a Russian girl, I lost sleep and appetite, I wanted to be only with her. And I understood. - no mother’s instructions helped, - that I would only marry a Russian. Passion is a terrible feeling that turned my whole life upside down. And for the first time I kissed this girl at a party in Alma-Ata. She was of a rather easy-going nature, and this kiss, as I understand it, was not the first for her. After returning from the army, I saw her, but she already had a child. In general, things didn’t work out for us.

And so in Moscow I met Natasha, talked and realized that more than anything in the world I wanted intimacy with this girl.

We studied together at Gnesinka. We met at my friend’s birthday party, where she was also invited.

In fact, I have been trying to draw her attention to me for a long time. I liked her romantic image: huge blue eyes and a sweet, innocent look. Nowadays it is rare to find such a look; more and more - decisive, independent, tough. This is what attracted me to her. But her friends whispered to her that I was not a match for her. By then I had already gained a reputation as a wild guy who would immediately jump in for a hug.

As a result, I spent six months trying to get her to agree to let me closer to her. She had nowhere to call. I had the apartment, and Natasha lived in the hostel! I just stupidly followed on her heels every day, brought her various gifts to the dorm - fruits and flowers, toys... There was money then - after the competition, work appeared, with my musician friends and my friend, now producer Arman Davletyarov, we worked by clubs.

Whoever says that love is beautiful does not know real passion. Friendship, respect, habit and all other substitutes for love are all wrong. A real love, passion is a disease. And you pursue the object of your desire for only one reason: to satisfy desire, to calm pain, to quench thirst. I was obsessed and it was driving me crazy. Where did this persistence come from? Don't know. I couldn't do that now. But still, I achieved my goal.

At that memorable party, we drank a little champagne, talked, danced, and then I plucked up the courage and kissed her passionately. There was no resistance on her part. And our guys from the course thought that Murat Nasyrov The guy is such a Don Juanist, he won’t let girls pass him by, and that’s why none of them believed in the sincerity of my feelings. But I was determined to serious relationship. And the next day, when we met with Natasha, she asked: " Murat, is what happened yesterday serious?” I replied that I had never been more serious than yesterday. And since then we have been together.

Many friends tell me: “Where did you find Natasha?! How lucky you are!” They are openly jealous of me. And if I tried to get rid of this feeling, to hold out, as many do - in order to preserve personal freedom, in order to live single longer - it would be terribly difficult for me now! With all my current fame and material well-being, with my current experience, it would be difficult for me to choose a wife, and now I would also envy someone. Yes! We were lucky: we met by passion right away, at the beginning of our journey."

However, in a Muslim home Nasyrovs Natasha, to put it mildly, was not accepted at first. Having received an angry letter from my parents, Murat I decided to wait: let them cool down and get used to this idea.

In 1996, the couple had a daughter, Leah. Murat I tried to play on my parents' feelings and sent the mother a photo of the newborn. Surprisingly, his strategy worked: the parents relented. Moreover, they were even married according to Muslim rites, even though Natasha was a Christian.

In 2000, Natasha gave birth Murata son, who was named Akim. The singer considered himself the most happy man in the world. Despite being busy, Murat I tried to devote more time to my children and wife. I enjoyed helping my wife Natasha around the house, cooking, and playing with Leah and Akim.

Murat Nasyrov achieved a lot in life. I wanted to conquer Europe with my creativity. And when asked what his formula for success was, he answered: “Success can probably be called when a person feels in a state of a dream and goal come true, when he has achieved what he wanted. But this, from my point of view, is not unambiguous the concept of a successful career. After all, you understand that you can achieve the desired success with your own efforts or receive such a gift from Lady Luck, but still want more. For example, I have long strived for what I have in my life now. I stop, I want to achieve even more success. What is happening in my life, successful career, beloved family is a great gift of fate. I was very lucky. Isn’t it happiness when you do what you love and return home to your family with pleasure?”

On the night of January 19-20, 2007 at the age of 37 Nasyrov fell from the balcony of his Moscow apartment, located on the 5th floor.

Investigators have established a presumptive picture of what happened. According to them, January 19 Nasyrov met his common-law wife Natalya Boyko, who had returned to Moscow. Together they arrived at an apartment on Vucheticha Street. At that moment, the girl’s mother, Greta Boyko, and two children were already there. Nasyrova- 6-year-old Akim and 10-year-old Leah.

According to Greta Boyko, “from the very morning Nasyrov did not behave quite adequately."

He constantly walked quickly around the apartment, called someone, then jumped up, then sat down, and went to the window. And then he continued to behave restlessly. “He took his wife by car to the place where she had an appointment, then returned home and locked himself in his studio, equipped right in the apartment. There he tried to sing. Then, at around 10:30 p.m., he went out, took his portrait, and woke up the children and changed into a concert costume. He constantly tried to go out onto the balcony, but Greta Boyko did not allow him to do so. Nasyrov jumped out onto the landing and called the apartment of neighbors with whom they were family friends. He started shouting to his neighbors that he had a vision of God and recently deceased guitarist group "A-Studio." Then, according to eyewitnesses, "the singer climbed out onto the balcony of his apartment, hung a camera around his neck, picked up his portrait and jumped from the fifth floor. This happened at 10:30 p.m."

He died on the spot from his injuries. An autopsy of the deceased's body, performed at the Botkin Hospital, revealed no traces of drugs or alcohol. According to the official version, it was suicide due to depression. According to my wife Murata, Natalya Boyko, death occurred due to an accident. Murat buried in the city of Alma-Ata.

The singer was remembered for his soft and lyrical music, through which he always tried to express his feelings for other people. In 2007, the musician’s life was tragically interrupted. On his monument there is an epitaph: “Lightning that illuminated eternity,” which fully reflects life path this bright personality.

Early biography

Murat Nasyrov was born on December 13, 1969 in the then capital of Kazakhstan, Alma-Ata, into a Uyghur family. The future singer’s mother worked in a factory, his father worked in a taxi, at the same time he was interested in poetry and played many musical instruments beautifully. It has become good example for imitation. Murat was the youngest, fifth child, in the family and with early childhood began to show interest in art. True, for a certain time the young man did not see music as his professional vocation, therefore, while studying in high school, he pored over textbooks, which resulted in brilliant knowledge in mathematics and physics. In addition, the boy was always physically active and played many sports: boxing, fencing, wrestling and his favorite football.

He was destined for a brilliant engineering path - teachers and acquaintances insisted that this was Murat’s real calling, but his father and courtyard friends intervened in the matter. As the singer himself recalled, at the age of 8 he learned to play the guitar, picked out chords on his own, and soon he was teaching his peers.

In the 70s and early 80s, despite the Iron Curtain, Soviet youth actively listened to the legendary Western The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, and Nasyrov was no exception. He not only knew many of their songs by heart, but also performed them perfectly, so even then they noticed the bright talent of an imitator in the young man. As the singer himself said: “Thanks to the influence of Western culture, the country has lost the average engineer.”

On the way to your cherished dream

Having received a school certificate, Nasyrov painfully chose between engineering specialties and art, ultimately choosing the latter. But when entering the Alma-Ata Variety and Circus School, it turned out that only those who had completed military service in the army were accepted there. As a result, Murat went to fulfill his duty to his homeland and ended up in Ashgabat. Right here future star began to actively participate in the amateur group of her military unit called “Time”, which seriously motivated young man go to conquer the capital.

However, no one was waiting for him in the huge metropolis. It was especially difficult at first, when I constantly had to think about where to get food. I had to earn odd jobs and rely on the help of acquaintances and friends who never refused. In the end, all these tests were not in vain: Murat was able to withstand a serious competition of 40 people per place and in 1991 he entered the Gnessin School in vocal class on the course of N. Andrianova.

First success

In August 1991, the VI competition of young performers took place in Yalta, in which Murat Nasyrov took part. His performance did not go unnoticed by the strict jury consisting of I. Krutoy, L. Vaikule, V. Matetsky and other domestic stars. On the second day, when the contestants sang foreign hits, Nasyrov took 3rd place with M. Jackson’s composition “You Are Alone,” and the next day he had no equal during the performance of A. Pugacheva’s song “The Half-Educated Wizard.” Moreover, all the judges gave 12 points, and no one received more such ratings. As a result, Murat won the Grand Prix of the prestigious competition.

Unfortunately, resounding success I couldn't find any further continuation. Proposals, of course, appeared, but when it came to a substantive conversation, they fell apart overnight. One of them was made by I. Krutoy, but Nasyrov refused him, fearing that he would not be able to perform songs of his own composition. Another proposal came from the well-known entrepreneur K. Borovoy at that time, who promised to make a star out of Murat in two years, but after 6 months, he curtailed his project. In order not to tempt fate, the talented singer decided to get a job in a tavern and play music there for the soul. It was very difficult, and then he truly understood how to get the crust of bread.

The hard path to fame

During one of the performances, the young man was seen by musicians from popular group"A-studio". The fellow countrymen decided to help Murat and introduced him to producer A. Davletyarov. This gave results, and in 1995 the singer’s CD single appeared, which included three compositions “It’s just a dream”, “Natalie” and “Step”. The latter blew up the domestic radio airwaves in the mid-90s and became a full-fledged hit. But real success came a little later. In 1997, the musician’s first album, “Someone Will Forgive,” was released. It included 12 songs, including three from the first single. In addition to them, the album contained a cover version of S. Kharin’s hit “The Boy Wants to Go to Tambov,” which was at the top of all sorts of charts for a whole month. This opened the way to television, and Nasyrov began to be invited to many concerts and festivals. In 1997, he had the opportunity to sing the song “The Half-Educated Wizard” by A. Pugacheva herself.

Just at this time, Alena Apina’s husband and producer A. Iratov was working at the Soyuz studio, and he offered Murat cooperation. As a result, the Nasyrov-Apina duet was formed, which sang several popular hits. Soon a joint program appeared, bearing symbolic name"Electric train to Tambov", which is associated with famous songs each of them.

In 1998, the second album “My Story” was released, consisting of 8 compositions, including the hit “Moonlit Nights”. Two years later, Murat recorded his third album, “All this was not with me,” which included popular song“Caught on the Lips” and eight more tracks. Many compositions were recorded in the Latin American style, which the musician was actively interested in at that time. In 2002, the fourth album “Wake Me Up” was released, two songs of which were dedicated to his son Akim and niece Alina. In general, Nasyrov often dedicated his compositions to other people, for example, E. Polnaya and A. Kabaeva.

The most interesting, from a musical point of view, was the Uyghur singer’s album “Alone Left” (Kaldim Yalguz), released in 2004. Murat performed all the songs presented on the disc himself, and during the recording he played on many musical instruments. The presented compositions reflect National character native people, which Nasyrov vividly expressed in music. In 2007, a new record was supposed to be released, for which the name “The Seventh Cradle” had already been invented. Murat began recording new tracks, but due to tragic death singer she never saw the light of day.

In addition to working on his own albums, Nasyrov managed to record Russian-language versions of songs for the screensavers of the popular Disney animated series “DuckTales” and “Black Cape”.

Personal life

Murat met his common-law wife Natalya Boyko (known under the pseudonym Selena) while studying at Gnesinka. She was also a singer and worked for some time in her husband's band. In 1996 they gave birth to eldest daughter Leah, and in 2000 son Akim. Formally, Natalya and Murat never got married, so many were perplexed why such a strong couple could not get married. Only close people knew that they actually got married, but they did it in accordance with the traditions of the singer’s native Uyghur people. Nasyrov has repeatedly stated publicly that he is happy with Natalya and loves his family very much.

In an interview dated 2001, the singer admitted that he is a rather expressive person and often drinks alcohol. True, he immediately emphasized that his family and friends always successfully brought him out of binge drinking.

Ridiculous death

Murat Nasyrov died tragically on the night of January 19-20, 2007. Literally a few days later, a wedding date was set with his beloved woman Natalya, who managed to give birth to two children. During this period of his life, the musician was full of ideas and creative plans, so suicide is unlikely, Natalia believes. According to her version, the singer went to the balcony to adjust the antenna, slipped and fell down from the 5th floor. True, some argued otherwise - that what happened was the result of the machinations of competitors or unsuccessful attempt take a photograph, since the singer was interested in photography shortly before his death. This partly explains why, after the fall, the musician had a camera and a personal portrait in his hands.

According to law enforcement agencies, the musician did not behave quite adequately in the morning, wandered around the apartment, often talked to himself and kept calling someone. The mother-in-law tried to prevent the first jump from the balcony; she failed to protect her son-in-law from a rash step. Later the investigation found in the blood deceased singer traces of drugs. The body of Murat Nasyrov was buried at the Zarya Vostoka cemetery in his native Almaty next to his father’s grave.
