"Potap and Nastya" in anticipation of the first major concert in Moscow said that this outrageous and where they are characters in their songs. More specifically, said a Potap - Nastia handed full responsibility for the answers to puzzling questions in the hands of his colleagues and, more importantly, producer. The occasion for the interview is clear. 31st March in the arena in Moscow will be the first "Potap and Nastya" big solo concert in Moscow. Ironically, since the beginning of his stormy career of the band came to the capital to further appearances at parties, to pick up another award - the "Song of the Year", "Golden Gramophone" plate "Muz-TV" and other music channels .. . Potap - I remember when you started your career in Russia. Given prior to the start of the festival "Five Star" in 2007, we were the journalists elegant design promotional single of your songs, then released most powerful label Real Records. The song "Do not steam" triumphed and you earned Grand Prix. But as you have a contract with Real'om? As far as you were then popular in Ukraine? Potap: In 2006, I organized the project "Potap and Nastya" and became his producer, after which the duo quickly began to grow in popularity in Ukraine. But in the competition "Five stars", we were known, I - as a writer and hip-hop music, Nastya - both beginners and young hopeful singer. A proposal for concluding a contract awarded by Real Records. We worked for about a year, but do not agree. I had a different vision of the promotion and positioning of the duo so we started to work independently, including in Russia. - As the name "Potap and Nastya"? Why not "Lech and Nastya", for example? Finally, your name is Alex ... Potap: My name Potapenko, so I called all Potap and always from early childhood. Back in 1998, I started a solo career under the pseudonym. When in 2006 I founded the duet "Potap and Nastya", nor is there any doubt as to my name in the title. Potap - a simple, fun and at the same time, the familiar name for the Russian people were so options like "Leshenka and Anastasia" or "Alexey and Anastasia" not (laughs). - You were one of the first (maybe after earrings) examples of successful commercial Hip-Hop / R'n'B. How can you judge, played in the success of your first big role for the public fresh musical style or is it shocking? Potap: When it comes to business success, one can not speak of only one component. Certainly should be subtle blend of musical styles and outrageous. Furthermore, played the important role of explicit goals producers, careful selection of the repertoire, the right time of the publication of singles. Wrote the song "Do not steam" I for 3-4 years before its release, "Why do not you say," The year and a half. At the time of the duet "Potap and Nastya" I was "fired." An enormous stockpile of songs that were in the starting blocks at the right time successfully But primarily the success of my project is that we the people, honest, genuine artists. We give people neiskusstvennye emotions and that we are loved. - The outrageous further if you will. Perhaps you know the story of "Liapis Trubetskoy" - ridiculous for a number of brilliant comic songs mindset Gopnik Mihalok was for a time a hero buddies does not recognize the irony. Do you feel a similar situation to yourself? Potap: Do not think that I'm a genius producer and the king of show business, the hero Gopnik is (laughs). Is this a crowd favorite at all, including the representative of the typical subculture. I never wanted to win the love of one small and specific audience, performing as I write and produce completely different genre and theme music. Besides I have a lot of comic Singles lyrics -. For example, the new song duet "Potap and Nastya" "If all of a sudden why you are silent" and is known for the song as "" recognized as part of my solo project song lyric "Ay" and "Pronto" in a duet with Vera Brezhnev. All the songs that I wrote and produced for my producer of "Time and Glass", not even on the comic book character. - Did you use in songs juicy samples, the studio have many talented computer artists. Use and yet, what percentage of the bourgeois from the market samples and loops you need (not the imposition of effects counts) stolen? Potapov: On what basis are you accusing me of stealing? Before making such a loud statement, first analyze the situation. All I borrowed and transformed successfully in his work, made with the copyright notice. I use only the samples and loops that are bought by me in officially licensed library. Proper use of the CEMP and grinding is an art, not everyone will be able to share everything, so the result was an absolute hit. As soon as I heard the song "Ghita", it is so firmly in my mind that I will not rest until he turned Stratan with a request to use the tune. After all the legal questions about copyright, I implemented his idea in the song "We announce KS", but in a completely new treatment with a completely different meaning, text and serve. - How do you decide shocking acceptable face? Mat, nudity, slang, religion, politics, sex in some forms? Potap: First of all, I am a believer. Yes, I can do on stage a lot, but never contradict my principles. I feel good and I know the allowable limit outrageous audience during the show, because no one I can not seem to be ashamed of. - "Chumachechaya Spring" - first-class hit. But do not think that the deliberate mutilation of the Russian language - not good? Potap: I have no lack! What should I do when I talk to people? Once I heard a try on the road, Crank to pronounce the word "crazy", but due to lack of a few teeth he got "chumachechy." So I decided to show everyone this popular coinage in his song. For writing "We at Ryan" I lived for several months in a typical range, to listen to it and feel the colorful features of the lives of those who lived there. So I do not even have to purposefully distort language, you need only to know how to listen and to hear successfully implement in their work. - Vakarchuk estimated over the closure of a large Ukrainian fayloobmennika irritated disorder Ukrainians. And how do you feel about file-sharing and torrent? Potap: Today the Internet is an absolute chaos going on. As a producer, musician and a person who is active in show business, half of my life, I believe that everything should be legal in the first place. Of course one can understand disturbed people - everyone loves a freebie. But the artist has to be rewarded for their efforts. - What share in the profits of the project and the name "MOZGI entertainment" generally nekontsertnye income: sales, merchandising, advertising contracts? Potap: In my production center "MOZGI Entertainment" clearly assigned responsibility and between each member of the team. Manages all financial affairs co-produced "MOZGI Entertainment" Irina Gorovaya I engage in creative segment. - What proportion of your cash concert concerts are outdoors? Potapov significantly. We often have outdoor concerts. For example, at the moment the duet "Potap and Nastya" tour in America, we are planning to go to Germany, and 31 March, a concert in Moscow. - In Russia, unlike Ukraine, not survive the opening of the TV talent show. What is your advice to young musicians - trying to loose in the great Internet? Potap: I was on the jury of the talent show, and know a lot about these programs. In fact, many young artists, even after winning the ranking shows not get through. So do not expect a huge success after just one win in the TV show. If the maximum number of options as to how to make themselves and start to be a serious career. For example, a participant of the "Time and Glass" Nadia came to the group through webcasting, her profile was selected from more than ten thousand. So if you have decided that show business - it is yours, and can not imagine my life without doing music, then everything you need to be a true professional, and never give up. - What is the reason that the Russian and Ukrainian mainstream musicians can not be international stars? Potap: Why is it not? For example, the Ukrainian duet "Potap and Nastya" as the most successful and recognized popular in the CIS, not even gave concerts in Europe, and is currently on tour in the U.S.. In general, it depends on what goals have seen artists. Westerners have very different rules of show business, writing for America and the CIS to a completely different song. Often popular singers in the CIS know with a broad Russian soul not understand in Europe, due to the differences in lifestyle and mentality. - What surprises you prepare for the Moscow concert? Be as many artists on stage? Is it to be a special stage design and lighting? Potap: Finally! I was waiting for this question! Finally I was told that this great event (laughs) the entire interview will be dedicated. 31st March duet "Potap and Nastya" performs a solo concert in the Russian capital. We will sing the best, fresh life and absolute hits. On stage will be the most beautiful and mega-popular artists Potap Nastya and 7 the excellent live band "Paradox", accompanied by that we reject. We also prepare a special program that we have the best lighting and live sound. But his most important magical concert at our results!
