Her soloist, inspirer and just a nice guy - Sergey Zhukov. He became an idol for millions of fans who doted on his songs. Few people know such a person as Mikhail Zhukov. But this guy is also a musician. But he remained in the shadow of his brother for a long time, although he was no less talented.

Biography of Mikhail Zhukov

Mikhail was born on May 23, 1983. He is 32 years old. Place of birth - Ulyanovsk region. Parents - Evgeny and Lilia Zhukov. Brother - Sergey (7 years older). It is known that at school Misha showed himself better than his star brother, who, because of music, was not particularly interested in studying. Misha was loved at the Dimitrovgrad school. He graduated from a multidisciplinary lyceum in the same city. He played sports, especially football. And at the present time, in his free time, he plays on the field. Favorite football team is Spartak (Moscow). Mikhail listens to different music: both rap and chanson - hits of the last century, and foreign melodies. The younger Zhukov spends his free time actively, in the company of friends (what is there to hide, Misha likes to take a good walk). The secular life attracts him. Mikhail himself was never seen by the press in a bad mood or in some unacceptable and scandalous situations. The guy has a good sense of humor and a stock of incredible kindness. Zhukov also loves fishing. He enjoys playing the guitar. Currently lives in Moscow.

Private life

Mikhail Zhukov, whose biography is not fully disclosed, does not particularly advertise his personal life. According to reliable sources, our hero was not married. Given the incredible number of fans, photos with which the singer sometimes posts on social networks, you can understand that the singer has no lack of attention. Despite his already quite mature age (32 years), the musician never got his own family. But with his nephews (Sergey's son and daughter), Misha loves to spend time, pamper them and play with them. The artist does not currently have a soulmate.

The beginning of a musical career

Mikhail Zhukov realized that he wanted to be creative not so long ago. He participated in many musical projects, sometimes even initiated them himself. So, you can mention a group called "Dobre". The project was created jointly with Denis Dotsenko. The performers themselves directly declare that they do not pretend to anything in this format and their music was created for a narrow listening circle. This work combines rap performed by Denis Dotsenko and pop vocals from Mikhail Zhukov himself. Recorded compositions such as "Concierge", "King of the era", "Cry". Many listenersthe songs “Summer”, “The bed is not made”, “Only you” are noted. Together with the RP "Dobre" group, they recorded the song "Real Boys". The team already has fans. The guys do not plan to release their album. And if this ever happens, then Zhukov promised to release a small edition only for his friends. So far, Dobre's repertoire does not have enough songs for the album. Fans often asked questions about the rehashing of the popular songs of Sergey's group. The participants (Mikhail Zhukov and Denis Dotsenko) are categorically against such PR, as they believe that it is better to create something new than to copy someone.

Popularity

During the existence of the Dobre group, Mikhail has not received much popularity. These songs were listened to by a small circle of fans. Due to the bright glory of his brother Sergei, Mikhail always remained in the shadows. Little was known about him. Despite the fact that Sergei never covered his brother in the press, in general publicly. Mikhail Zhukov is an excellent singer. But no one knew about it before. Mikhail actively developed his musical abilities, was engaged in creativity. And so, when the group began to sound less and less, Sergey began to move away from this project, took up radio broadcasting, his solo career.

A decision was made on a joint project with his brother. It is not known whether this was a deliberate move for the sake of resuming popularity, or whether this impulse has only creative motives. Nevertheless, when resonant statements about this event began to appear on the Internet and in other media, many music lovers turned their attention to Mikhail. So, the peak of activity fell on 2013-2014 (continues to this day). Mikhail records his songs, performs in large cities of Russia. He gets a lot of fans. External similarity with his brother, the repertoire, the lyricism of the songs interested not only the fans of "Hands Up", but also new people who are true fans of our hero's work.

Mikhail Zhukov's repertoire

As mentioned above, the artist has many songs developed in the Dobre project. In addition, Mikhail sometimes records joint tracks with young performers and groups. In particular, this includes: “Girl Lyuba” together with the Opium Project, the song “1000 Years” with “United Brotherhood”. There are also solo works, for example "Girl". Songs performed by Mikhail Zhukov are mostly lyrical in nature. Music style - pop. Many newly minted fans asked Mikhail to write more fun, danceable songs. Our hero promised that there would be such, and certainly. The repertoire of songs recorded with his brother also fits the described criteria.

Singer concerts

Michael tours many cities of the Russian Federation. This includes Tver, and Voronezh, and Samara, and Kazan, and Chelyabinsk, and many other places. Constant flights and moving, according to the artist, do not tire him. The singer actively spends his time outside the stage. Mikhail Zhukov sings songs so energetically and with feeling that the halls were simply bursting with applause. The ranks of fans are growing. The halls are almost full. Zhukov goes to concertswith his brother, they perform together as part of a joint project, which will be discussed later.

Co-creation

In 2014, a new project was announced - "The Zhukov Brothers". Few people know that several songs of Sergey's group were written with the light hand of Mikhail, so it was not difficult for him to adapt to the format of the legendary group. It has been preserved as part of a joint new project. The premiere song of the musicians was "You are my sea." The video for it was filmed on one of the islands of Thailand. The Zhukov brothers appeared in unusual images that the story of the song demanded: they were handsome civil aviation pilots. The song's story is about how the influential, we althy father of a simple pilot's sweetheart was against their feelings. In order to prevent this, he hid his daughter on a distant island.

In general, this project was repeatedly criticized by music gurus and was regarded as a desperate PR move by Sergei Zhukov. They harshly compared the voice of Alexei Potekhin and our hero, saying that, in principle, nothing much has changed, there is no novelty. Nevertheless, Sergei and Mikhail Zhukov loudly declared themselves, and the scores of the music judges no longer play any role. The joint record is called "Sleep".

The modern way of the musician

At present, Mikhail is still absorbed in the joint project "The Zhukov Brothers". The guys actively tour the expanses of the country and collect full houses. In addition to a musical career, the brothers took uprestaurant business. As you know, in Chelyabinsk, Moscow and other cities, a network of bars "Hands Up" was opened. The establishments are a huge success. Mikhail Zhukov was at every bar opening.
