A girl whose images amaze with extravagance. She is never the same. Her stage costumes are always unique and attract attention. This is not only part of her image on stage - this is her life. Daria embodies everything that a Slot soloist should have.

Biography of the singer

Not much is known about her life before the band. She was born in 1986 on February 1 in the Arkhangelsk region, in the small town of Velsk. She graduated from high school in Arzamas and went to the Nizhny Novgorod College to study music.

Now the soloist of "Slot" Daria Stavrovich lives in Moscow and combines her career as a rock singer with her studies at the Moscow Institute of Modern Art. There she studies at the faculty of pop-jazz and academic singing. Her curator is one of the best vocal singing teachers in Russia Ekaterina Belobrovaya.

April 18, 2014, at the group's autograph session, a girl was attacked by a crazy fan. He inflicted several stab wounds to the girl in the neck, as a result of which the artery and trachea were affected. In a critical condition, Daria was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Mariinsky hospital. The girl spent almost a month in the hospital. Due to a wound in the trachea, the soloist of "Slot"was forced to undergo a long rehabilitation.

It turns out that this secret "Romeo" has been following Nuki online for a long time. At first they were romantic letters, which eventually changed to threats if she was not with him.

After the doctors said that her he alth was not in danger, but some time was needed for rehabilitation, the Slot group confirmed that they would take part in all summer festivals, and the solo concert in St. Petersburg would be postponed until autumn.

Useful acquaintance

From childhood, Daria was distinguished by her eccentricity and uniqueness. But not only this influenced the fact that she became a member of the group. Daria is very hardworking and diligent, striving for everything she does to be perfect. She got into the group through her friend Maxim Samosvatov, the former vocalist of the Epidemic group. He was familiar with the vocalist and creator of the Slot group Igor Lobanov.

Slot Group

This alternative rock band was formed not so long ago, in 2002 on the initiative of Igor Lobanov. He is the ideological inspirer of the group, and songwriter and vocalist. But with the vocalists, the group did not develop very well, in a few years they managed to change two girls, until after long auditions they chose Stavrovich. And from 2006 to this day, she has been officially the vocalist of the Slot group.

Igor Lobanov created a group together with Denis Khromykh and Sergey Bogolyubsky. Already a year aftercreation, their first album was released, but it did not produce the expected furor. Opinions were divided on him, but still many noticed the huge potential of the young rock band.

The band currently has seven studio albums, several soundtracks, 15 singles, an EP and a remix album. The group has two vocalists at once, which is their distinguishing feature. In each song, their roles are distributed equally. The band mainly plays hard rock and nu metal, but some screaming and recitative filling makes their music similar to rapcore and metalcore.

Nookie

On the forums you can find a large number of questions about the name of the soloist of "Slot"? This question worries both fans of the group and fans of the solo projects of the singer. In musical circles, Daria Stavrovich is known under the pseudonym "Nookie", which was invented by ID (Sergey Bogomolsky), the founder of the Slot group.

By the way, there is a lot of controversy around her nickname, what does it mean. If translated from English, then it means sex without obligations, but according to another version, her stage name came from listening to the song Limp Bizkit.

And the Slot soloist herself constantly confuses reporters and fans. More recently, in an interview, she said that nookie in Chinese means her name. In other sources, you can find a definition that her nickname is a name, in fact, and has no translation. What caused the creation of the pseudonym is really up to you.

Creative activity

Amazingbut in addition to participating in the group and studying at the institute, Daria Stavrovich takes part in many other things.

So since 2014, the soloist of the Slot group has been actively involved in the Forces United project, known throughout the world. Stavrovich took part in this competition together with Yarkko Ahol, Konstantin Seleznev and Maxim Samosvatov.

Periodically, Nookie is invited to sing in various rock bands to increase their rating. She voices games, starred in music videos and movies, participates in various music competitions. So in 2014, the shooting of the film "School Shooter" with the participation of Daria ended. In this film, she got a cameo role. In the same year, the video "Reality" was filmed with her participation.

The soloist of "Slot" is quite famous in musical circles. She received the Golden Note prize at a competition organized by Igor Sandler's production center. Nuki won the Best Rock Vocalist of 2014 nomination, in the same year she was awarded the title of the best performer of 2014. The singer was voted for on the NewsMuz portal. True, in this competition she won silver.

Already in 2015, she voiced the singer Aria from the online game ArcheAge. As mentioned earlier, she strives to participate in all kinds of projects. This year, Nuki was spotted on The Voice, performing a song by Irish rock band The Crandberries Zombie, she made a splash on the show.

Solo project

Four years ago, the soloist of "Slot" actively pursued a solo career. At the end of 2012 she launchedhis project called "Nuki". In addition to her, her colleagues in the group "Dudu", "ID", "Slot" take part in it. A year later, her first album, Alive, was released. Video clips were shot for three songs from this album. Three years later, the album "Moon Butterfly Pollen" saw the light, which became the second in her solo career. A video was shot for the song "Illusion" from this album.

Earlier this year, the world heard her single "Dance, Clown, Dance". In it, in addition to the song with the name of the single, two more from the previous albums, “Alive” and “Ashes”, were recorded, but in new versions.

The music she plays in her solo project is completely different style and doesn't look like the one played by Slot.

Extremely bright appearance distinguishes the girl from the main crowd of music performers in this direction. The style of clothing and stage costumes are fully consistent with the life priorities that the soloist of the Slot group adheres to. Photos depicting Nuki illustrate only her inherent style. It intertwines rock, punk echoes and slight gothic notes. That is why she is so unique.
