Do you know who once found the young Diana Arbenina and Svetlana Surganova and helped them get promoted? Who helped girls gain popularity and become what they are now? And Svetlana Loseva opened "Night Snipers" back in August 1998, after which she became their director and producer. And these are not her only talents, because she is an excellent photographer and music journalist. The article is dedicated to this interesting person.

First meeting

Svetlana met the once unknown Arbenina and Surganova at the beginning of their career. Moreover, according to her, at that time the group was an acoustic duo of two ladies playing the violin and guitar. A friend of Svetlana Loseva, artist T. Azovtseva, once heard the girls at one of the concerts and was imbued with the texts to the core! And, of course, she began to enthusiastically recommend them to listen to heracquaintances. After another "advertisement" of "Snipers", Svetlana Loseva gave up and agreed to listen to them. The girls were so tenacious that at dawn the next day they woke her up and asked her to become the director of their still small, but already group.

First squad

Svetlana Loseva introduced talented girls to Kopylov and Potapkin, who at that time played in the Nautilus, but the guys liked the work of the snipers so much that they joined their group. Actually, this is how the first electric line-up of the group was born, which Svetlana actively promoted to the masses, and also organized many concerts on various stages of the country.

Memories of "those times"

According to Arbenina, the group owes its popularity to the producer Svetlana Loseva, who should still be called the director. After all, she does promotion, and selects the image, and finds excellent makeup artists. In general, she is a professional in every sense, because thanks to Sveta, living legends of Russian rock, Vyacheslav Butusov and Boris Grebenshchikov, drew attention to Night Snipers. Diana's attitude towards the first director can be understood by listening to the song "Dear friend", which is a dedication.

And from the words of Surganova it becomes clear that she treats Svetlana Loseva with great respect - like a student to her first teacher. And this is not surprising, because it was such for snipers. Everyone still remembers and loves her for everything she did for them. But there always comes a time when you need tomove on and take independent steps. This is exactly what happened to the group at one point.

About hometown

Svetlana Loseva is a very versatile person, and so much so that it is difficult to give an unambiguous answer to questions about the nature of her activity. She is a producer, director, and photographer, besides, she can sing and draw well. In general, one thing can be said - this is a subtle creative nature, with a highly developed sense of beauty. All these skills allow her to be the leader of creative teams, because a real director must himself be well versed in everything. And her business card can only tell that it is Sveta Loseva, followed by the phone number you need to call. In general, everything is clear and to the point.

She grew up in the city of Okhta, Krasnogvardeisky district, and it was there that she acquired the most useful qualities for herself. Her parents still live there. In this city, in the apartment of Svetlana, a concert by Dmitry Revyakin was played, which was recorded and called "Okhta". The musician at that time was experiencing a strong shock from the untimely death of Alexander Bashlachev, whom he met shortly before his death. He dedicated a song to him that clearly described everything that happened to the rock poet, and it happened quite by accident.

In the Krasnogvardeisky district, the group "Zero" was created, the producer of which was Sveta. All musicians were from Okhta, with the exception of bass guitarist Gusakov.

Journalism

Sveta Loseva wrote more than one article inmusic newspapers of the nineties, and it was always easy and simple for her, because she had many acquaintances among rock musicians. You just need to turn on the voice recorder and enjoy a friendly conversation. Her interviews have always been distinguished by their naturalness and simplicity, because she never removed various “parasite words” and colloquial phrases. This exactly conveyed the manner of communication of her interlocutor.

Loseva about "Night Snipers"

Svetlana, apparently, is a little offended by Diana because in one of the TV shows she animatedly talked about the fact that no one helped or promoted her, and that what she became was only her merit. Popularity greatly changes people, and Arbenina is no exception to the rule. However, Svetlana Loseva managed a ship called "Night Snipers" from 1998 to 2002, and during this time she did the main thing for the group - she gave fame and demand. And the last "gift" for the old New Year was a tour to Israel.

During Svetlana's leadership, the girls repeatedly tried to experiment with sound and invite new musicians, but this did not particularly affect the group and its popularity. During these eight years they did not do anything special, as they did not seek to jump above their heads. Loseva was the neck of the group, and the snipers were the head, so where it was necessary, she sent them there.

It was with her that they became who they are now, and forgetting about it is simply ugly. Moreover, after the departure of Sveta, Arbenina cannot create anythingoriginal and writes already without feelings - just churning out texts. Apparently, the influence of show business has affected! In general, a photo and a dedication song will tell about the past friendship of Diana and Svetlana Loseva better than any words and memories.
