Watch the song “We will stand up”: the locomotive of creativity The patriotic song “Stand” with a real salute soared into the sky of domestic show business. For 5 months from the date of release, the clip scored more than 20 million views on YouTube. The song itself was presented on the air of the Russia-1 channel as part of the absolutely non-recuited program "Vesti Week".

According to the author and the performer, the composition is about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. For the first time she “was published” on February 23 - on the day of the defender of the Fatherland. It was written a little earlier - January 2 - and just waited in the wings. That is, the song is in fact in one word. And all - then I began to promote this story in my studio.

I wrote a song, in my opinion, in a couple of days, ”the singer said in an interview with the YouTube channel“ Russian Television ”. According to him, this is the first patriotic song he created among two hundred others and he calls it the “locomotive of his work”. After the release of the “standing up” the recognition of the performer increased sharply, the piercing text went into the people, and tickets for the first solo concert in Moscow were sold out a month before the cherished date.

Yaroslav Dronov.

Already at the age of 15, our hero began to earn a living with performances in restaurants, left his father’s house, rented a separate housing and established his personal life, but more on that later.

Subsequently, Yaroslav also studied on the conductor, and then decided to go to Moscow to enter the famous Gnesinka at the faculty of pop-jazz singing. It is said - done, and now a student from Novomoskovsk conquers the capital. Photo: A personal archive in the year, the teacher of Gnesinka invited the supplier to the first -year student to participate in the casting for the television project “Factor A” then planned the third season.

I must say that Yaroslav was not one of those naive young people who dreamed by any means to be “on TV”: “I don’t really like television projects at all - they do not allow to sing their songs there. You must act in the proposed circumstances. You are a cog in this whole system. ” But there was nothing to lose, and Dronov decided to try good luck. And luck smiled! As a member of the Factor A, he gained the glory of the favorite of Alla Pugacheva and managed to break into the top three finalists.

But the project has ended, and the life of Yaroslav has not changed much. No new proposals regarding his work were received. And the prima donna, who so praised his vocal data on the air and the support of which the fans of Dronov on the project had hoped, disappeared from his life. And then our hero got a job in a cover group and began to earn a living-by his own admission, pretty good-performances at corporate parties and concerts during a tour of Russia in Russia.

Yaroslav Dronov in the show "Voice": the Pelageya team in the year the concert director invited Yaroslav to participate in the casting for the Voice-3 television project. The goal was the most mercantile: flickering in another sensational television show would allow the group price tag. The guy really did not want to enter the same river for the second time, and he pulled as he could, eventually submitting an application for participation on the last possible day.

And again they took him. During the blind listening to Dronov, two jury members turned: Pelageya and Dima Bilan. Our hero chose the Pelagia team and managed to take the second place in the show. The goal was achieved: the performance of the cover group, where droves sang, became much more expensive. But in general, his life after the project returned to the previous direction.

By real popularity, Yaroslav Dronov was 15 years old: he received a musical education at the Gnesins Academy, wrote songs, sang in groups and took part in television music contests “Factor A” and “Voice”. We will talk about the participation of Yaroslav Dronov in the Voice.

Find out the details of a new turn and cooperation with Viktor Drobysh in the year, at 27, Yaroslav decided to leave the group, seeing the futility of this activity. And he wanted more!Leaving, in fact, nowhere, he sometimes remained on the shallows, “he was preparing himself to become a big artist: he sat at home and wrote songs” under the pseudonym Shaman. Photo: Daniil Oparin with the first “firing” song was “flying away” - this happened in August.

On the Internet, the composition became viral, and its author and performer became recognizable. Subscribers went to a mysterious guy with dreadlocks, a kind of style and voice in five octaves. And at that moment Viktor Drobysh appeared in his life - surprisingly, not as a producer, but rather as an agent. Moreover, he calls himself an independent artist, “who has become famous thanks to his songs, the Internet and folk love,” and claims that he will always be, focusing on the fact that he independently covers the whole creative process: creates songs, makes them arranging and leads them in his own studio, directs concert programs, engages in clips, thinks out his images up to the choice of fabric for clothes, which Sewed according to his ideas.

I have never had and have no investor. The only producer for the project is Yaroslav Dronov, ”our hero emphasizes. Photo: VK. In search of a pseudonym, he turned to comments on his work in social networks.

Fans repeatedly called him the vocals of shamanic, magical - and now the answer to the request was found. By the way, despite a somewhat mystical stage name, the shaman is a deeply believer professing Orthodoxy, and does not even go on stage without crossing. Probably, such an experience and a warm, enthusiastic reception of the audience hooked Dronov so much that another composition different from the previous composition appeared - “I am Russian”.

It is interesting that in the first few days after the release, the clip at it managed to gain more than four million views - and their number is growing rapidly. Moreover, in YouTube, it takes first place among the music videos on the “Trend” tab. And, of course, it does not do without the divine principle: “In all my songs there is some kind of line, or a hint, or a second layer about God, because I believe that this is the secret of my work.

In each of my songs there is this particle, and perhaps that is why people like them so much. ” The single appeared at musical venues at midnight. Judging by hundreds of enthusiastic comments, this track can repeat the success of the hits “Stand” and “I am Russian”, who glorified the shaman throughout the country. Yaroslav met with his future wife, a summer teacher of music school, Marina Roshchupkina, at the age of 16 in his native Novomoskovsk.

Despite the difference in age, which was very noticeable for that life stage, the couple passed for a year and decided to crucify, and several years later - get married. When Dronov was 22 years old, the daughter of Varvara was born in a young family. But not everything is so simple - at this time the new father had already lived in Moscow, being a student of Gnesinka, and Barbara and his mother in his native Novomoskovsk.

Photo: The personal archive, as soon as Yaroslav had the opportunity to move from a student hostel to a rented apartment, he took to the capital and wife with his daughter. But life in Belokamennaya did not appeal to Marina, and she spent more and more time in departures. In the small homeland, she was a person in the opinion of Dronov, one of the best teachers of folk music to children in Russia, while in Moscow a young woman would have to start all over the clean sheet.

Unable to withstand the test of either the capital or the distance, the couple divorced. Currently, they maintain relationships, drones helps their ex -wife and daughter financially and calls himself "Sunday dad with gifts." Photo: Personal archive with his second wife-top manager Elena Martynova, who is 14 years older than him, the singer divorced the year. They were in marriage for about seven years.

Unfortunately, such a work schedule and employment level did not leave us time for a normal personal life. Divorce is our joint decision. We remain in good relations, without any conflicts and grievances, ”said the performer of the hit“ Stand ”. The wife of the shaman: why Yaroslav Dronov divorced Marina Roshchupkina and Elena Martynova Marina still teaches pop vocals, sings in the ensemble “Grapes” and participates in various competitions.

The former wife of Shaman does not advertise his personal life. On her personal page in VK, she still has the surname "Roshchupkin".
