A native of Dubna was born on October 28, 1987. Already in the 4th grade, the boy understood what he wanted to do. It all started with Nirvana. After listening to their songs, the future musician Vladimir Kotlyarov has a clear realization that punk rock is his way. Despite the pressure of society, Vladimir continued to go towards his goal and he liked it more and more.

The start of the journey

Vladimir devoted his whole life to music. I constantly found something interesting and new in it, began to study it. However, he was best at writing lyrics for songs. In his works filled with meaning, many people have already found a piece of themselves and their lives. The main directions of his lyrics are public life and politics, those thoughts that are usually afraid to speak out loud.

Music group

In 2008, a significant event took place in the biography of Vladimir Kotlyarov - the creation of the "Pornofilmy" group. ParticipantsThe group today are guitarists Vyacheslav Seleznev and Alexander Rusakov, drummer Kirill Muravyov, bassist Alexander Agafonov and Vladimir himself, who acts as a soloist. It also included Dmitry Kuznetsov and Alexei Nilov, who later left the team.

The name for the musical group was thought up when the guys were sitting in the garage. They wanted people who heard the name of the group for the first time to be excited, hooked and perhaps outraged by it. In general, so that at the moment of the first acquaintance of a person with a group, the name could attract, evoke some emotions or even feelings.

As is commonly believed, the guys play in the genre of punk rock. Despite this, all the members lead a he althy lifestyle and even promote it in their songs.

Until 2013, the team did everything on its own. Participants divided responsibilities according to the capabilities of each. Someone wrote poetry, someone created album covers, others wrote music and arranged concerts. But since the beginning of 2015, when the group began to gain popularity, people began to offer their services - SMM, search for tours and equipment, etc.

Education of the audience

The band members have always believed that their music should be more than just songs that can influence people's moods. At some point, the team realizes that with their music they can educate their audience, which mostly consists of young people and teenagers. The team felt responsible for the future generation.

Then their goal was to instill in the audience the desire for mutual assistance. This idea was born for a reason: Vladimir Kotlyarov believes that in our time, when the authorities wanted to spit on the people, it is very important to help each other and provide support in difficult situations to everyone who needs it.

The group managed to realize their conclusions only after gaining a little more popularity. By their example, they showed young people how to help people. During the recording of the album "In the range between despair and hope", the group organized on a crowdfundingplatform to collect money. And no, they did not spend this money on recording, the guys sent all the funds transferred to them to a special fund, which in turn supported people with leukemia.

During the entire period of the charity event, more than 700 thousand rubles were collected, which really helped sick people. Also, at their concerts, the guys collected "carts of joy", where anyone could put any thing, which they also handed over to the sick. In order to avoid any doubts about the group's honest intentions, reports on the transfer of money and things, as well as photographs of visits to hospitals are published on the website of the crowdfunding company.

The group's direct participation in this action influenced both themselves and the album being recorded. The guys characterize the name of the album as the range in which the life of an ordinary person takes place.

About his music

Vladimir himself is afraid to call himself a musician and more adheres to the term "vocalist". The people associate their style of musical creativity with punk rock, but Vladimir likes to define the group's activity as the performance of songs. This is because the group has many different songs, the musicians do not try to stick to specific genres and their framework. They leave the "genre" column empty, allowing journalists with an inquisitive mind and music specialists to fill it in on their own.

Musical career Vladimir Kotlyarov does not consider his work, he refers to it as life. He cannot imagine himself apart from the musicalactivities. And he makes music for several reasons.

Firstly, it is an inner craving for self-expression through an accessible form - writing poetry and singing songs. He realized this during a creative crisis. When he did not write anything for a long time, his state of mind was critical and there were frightening thoughts that he would never be able to compose and sing again.

Secondly, Vladimir Kotlyarov considers the idea of the group to act as a translator, that is, the transformation of the collective unconscious into a private one, in which each person can see something close to himself. Vladimir imagines this process as follows. Living a certain time piece, he observes what is happening around and even unconsciously absorbs it, and then splashes out everything he experienced in the form of songs, after listening to which the listener becomes not alone in his judgments. For the same reason, the songs are a reflection of the era.

On ends and means

Vladimir Kotlyarov believes that people are used to dividing the world into means and ends. For example, he considers work a means, and the goal is to earn a certain amount of money. For Vladimir, his work and poetry are both an end and a means. He is doing this in order to continue in the future. The only thing he's afraid of is missing something.

About work and music in Russia

Music is Vladimir's element. He was convinced of this already several times throughout his life, because in the biographymusician Vladimir Kotlyarov, there were moments when he had to work at different jobs - from a printing house employee to a handyman. Vladimir did not work at any place for more than six months, but the music captivated him forever.

When the tours began, there was no time for work, so Vladimir finally chooses musical creativity. He admits that life is difficult for novice musicians in Russia, so before a successful start to his career, he had to get a job. Vladimir believes that there is no industry in Russia, each individual musician is left to himself. Whether they go to your concerts or not - it decides how close your music is to the people. There are no major labels in which experienced musicians who have gone through this path on their own would share their knowledge and help bring the product to a new level, which a beginner will reach only after 5 years. The label would have also helped with the promotion, but the group "Porn Films" had to go through everything on their own.

Age

Many fans have a question about how old the musician Vladimir Kotlyarov is. Knowing his date of birth (October 28, 1987), you can easily answer it. Today he is 30 years old. However, this month marks 31.

Private life

Unfortunately, there is no information on the Internet about the musician's private life. He himself did not mention her, and the journalists did not ask. It is understandable, because Vladimir has something to ask, besides his personal life. However, it is known that he has a wife. Vladimir Kotlyarov's wife helps"Porn films" in a variety of issues and is to some extent a muse for the soloist.
