In April 1st 1983, the story started to be written, a story about force and leadership.
Sergeys commitment and persistence in every matter he sets himself to have led to an outstanding result by 24 this young singer has achieved a lot, and after every achieved goal he immediately sets another one.
Everything begun with sport, when the four-years-old Sergey engaged himself in gymnastics. Taking part in competitions and winning different prizes, Sergey came to understand that he can and he must achieve everything with painstaking work and full preoccupation.
Together with this understanding another thought came to him he was not a true sports fan, because he was not completely devoted to sport and then a new hobby and a new dream appeared Sergey became keen on taking the first prize in the Morning Star contest a very popular contest of children groups and young singers. He gave up sport for music and was completely and forever absorbed in it. And again years of study, work in different childrens groups, which finally led him to the fulfillment of his most cherished dream of that time the victory in the Morning Star contest.
My whole childhood was connected with stage, audience, happiness of victory and goal achieving, wish of self-perfection, when I had to go through failures and defeats. But I never doubted that I will proceed with music activity, moreover, I never even thought about this, I just knew it is going to be like this and in no other way, says Lazarev.
And everything Sergey has done by the present time, proves his words the best way. Sergey and his friends were part from the Neposedy (Trotters) children group (the girls from t.A.T.u also sang in this group, and Julia Volkova is Sergeys halfsister) and one of them, Vlad Topalov decided to sing in a duet and recorded the aria BELLE from the musical Notre Dame De Paris.
Within a short period this aria recorded by the new duet became a hit, and that moment was a new step in Sergeys career as a singer in SMASH!! duet. The video Belle remained the leader of MTV-Russia chart for 6 months, and entered the Top 20 of Videos of the last five years.
In addition, Sergey started to take theater classes, he finished the course and he was part of the Romeo & Juliet acting as Romeo in the Moscows Theater.
The boys were compared to many groups at that time, they were called Alternative t.A.T.u, and «The 21th century Wham!» - because the first manager of SMASH!! was Simon Neiper-Bell, who was the manager of Wham! twenty years ago.
In February 2003 their first album Freeway was released, and almost immediately it became gold, more than a million copies were sold in Russia and in Southeast Asian countries. Each single from the album Freeway headed the charts in Russia and CIS countries.
In 2004, their second album 2Nite was released at the same time «Freeway» was released in Southeast Asia, (namely iin Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong-Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Philippines), where it hit tops of all charts.
During the promo-tour followed by this album, a video on a cover version of George Michaels hit Faith was made.
In the same year, SMASH!! worked together with the Italian group EARPHONES recording the song «Obsession». After the premiere on the radio Obsession became the best hit of summer 2004. In September it was released in Italy.
In 2004 SMASH!! won the prize of MTV RMA 2004 as «The best Pop-Project of the Year». Two «Smash!!» albums have beaten all records of sales, and became platinum. Altogether, Sergey Lazarev participated in 7 videos and gave more than 1000 live concerts.
Sergey has millions of fans and a huge amount of fan-clubs in Russia, CIS and Southeast Asian countries, and all his fans were looking forward to his solo career.
In 2005 he begun it and he signed a contract with the label Style Records. He travelled to London for recording his first album supported by Brian Rawling (known for his work with such mega-stars as Celine Dion, Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, Lionel Richie, Lemar) who wrote and produced three compositions for Sergey's album that had four promotional singles:
Eye of the Storm (1st single with a video recorded in South Africa)
Lost Without Your Love (2nd single with a video recorded in Miami, Fl)
Just Because You Walk Away (3rd single with a special russian version called Dazhe esli ti uydesh and with a remix made by HardRum)

Sergey made, supported by MuzTV Russia, the reality Be Sergey Lazarev where he choose between hundreds of fans the most similar person like him; also, he participated at "Dancing on Ice" and "Circus with stars" where he won 2nd and 1st place respectively; in addition, now is working in the Lend me a tenor Teathers Act.
In May 10th, he released his 2nd solo album called "TV Show" that has at the moment, two promotional singles:
Everytime (1st local single with a video recorded and promoted at Russia and with a russian version)
Shattered Dreams (1st international and official single with a video recorded at Canada and produced by Stuart Gosling)
1. (i think) he was kissing with Kseniya Sobchak not long time ago - they are "cute" to each other 2. He dances hot on the stage.. if he would be gay he could not do stuff like that!! 3. his style does not look like a style of a gay xD hm anything else.. oh the most important
HE MUST NOT OR WELL HE IS NOT GAY CAUSE HE IS SO DAMM CUTE AND HOT!!! xD
They met in "circus with stars" ("cirk z zvezdami").. they are just big friends.. that is what Sergey said in some video.. they asked him what about Kseniya and so.. and he said that they are just "sympatical" to each other:) and nothing else:D
Well Meredith you don't have to worry about that :D he is defenitely NOT gay :)
Now i can confirm that he has a girlfriend or well a person with whom he is.. and that person would be Lera
Watch Sergey and Lera on "Zvezdniy led" and you'll now what i am talking about! :D
They look so cute together, but, Lera is (as far as i know) already 37 years old!! i was shocked when i read that!! xD :D But i guess Sergey is one of that person who doesn't care about years in love :)
All man singers tell that they are gay... I also hate these storyes if like Dima tells that he is Gay but he have the girlfriend and what else u wanna see...
I also hate that kind of things! -my opinion is that it doesn't matter if your favorite singer is gay or has a girlfriend, after all you are never probably gonna date or well be with him! :)
Sergey not the gay. Though what for to whom that to prove and explain? Everyone will agree to differ. And these discussions since 2002. Only all has calmed down, and here again...
P.S. Forgive for mine not competent speech.)))
