Russian Federation Sergey Lazarev is a Russian singer, dancer, actor, and television presenter, widely recognized for his successful music career and theatrical performances.
Lazarev collaborated with artist Timati and made a video of the song 'Lazerboy'.
In 2010 Sergey signed a record contract with Sony Music Entertainment.
Away from the spotlight, Sergey adopted his beautiful dog Daisy from an animal shelter in 2012. Daisy inspired him to create a small business called Poodle-Strudel and since 2015, the company has created healthy treats such as cakes and pastries for cats and dogs. A new flagship store was opened in Moscow in 2017.
Sergey has also been actively involved in various charity events and welfare projects, cooperating with the Line of Life Foundation helping children with dangerous diseases that require high-tech medical care. His charity concerts in Moscow have raised money for expensive heart surgeries to be performed on many children.
Sergey Lazarev’s career in entertainment began at a young age in Moscow. From six to nine years old, he trained in artistic gymnastics. Before the age of ten, he started singing in the Lokteus Children Choir and subsequently joined the child group Neposedi, known for nurturing future music talents such as Yuliya Volkova and Lena Katina of t.A.T.u. By 14, he had already received his first music award and won several children’s song contests. In 1996, he secured first prize at the Bravo Bravissimo contest in Italy and performed with the presidential orchestra. These early experiences provided a foundation for his future in both music and acting.
Lazarev further developed his performance skills by attending Moscow’s Mkhat Theatre School, graduating in 2004 as a professional actor. During his studies at the school-studio MAAT, from which he graduated with honors in 2003, he took on leading roles in Pushkinski Theatre productions. His portrayal of Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” earned him a “Seagull” dramatic debut award nomination for Best Love Scene. His music career gained significant momentum in 2000 when he co-founded the Russian pop duo Smash!! with Vlad Topalov. The duo achieved success with their first video, “Should Have Loved You More,” in early 2002, followed by winning the ‘New Wave’ contest and releasing their debut single “Belle,” which topped MTV Russia’s charts.
The duo’s debut album, “Freeway,” released in February 2003, sold over a million copies across Russia and other CIS nations. Smash!! toured extensively in 2003 and expanded their reach to East Asian countries in 2004. They collaborated with Italian band Earphones on “Obsession,” which became a summer hit in 2004. After releasing their second album, “2Nite,” in December 2004, the band disbanded, allowing Lazarev to pursue a solo career. His solo debut, “Don’t Be Fake,” released in November 2005, sold over 300,000 copies in Russia and spawned several successful singles, including “Just Because You Walk Away,” which topped charts for weeks. He continued his solo success with the album “TV Show” in 2007, and later represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016 and 2019, securing third place both times.
