Any person can envy his energy and determination, the hero of our today's conversation is a promising artist, singer and author Ilya Gurov.

Ilya, hello. What are you doing now?

Hi. Now are very busy days, because on the eve of the holidays you need to manage to implement a lot of things. In fact, I don't really like weekends, it's probably bad, because I can't relax, but as long as there is a fuse and energy, you need to work. It is hard for me, when different ideas appear, to understand that the weekend and many people do not work. with age, I still try to accustom myself to rest, because the body is not iron ...



How do you rest?

I am a versatile person, I can just sit at home, enjoy the peace and quiet, watch my favorite movie or concert, listen to music, order pizza (laughs). Or vice versa - meet friends, take a walk or sit in a cafe.

Do you work with music 24 hours 7 days a week and relax in her company?

Yes, in fact, I can't live without music at all and I don't understand those people who throw up their hands in the sky and say how tired of music and they need silence, I think this is a little slyness. A person who works, not even like that, who lives in this area, cannot get tired of music.

I listen to albums of new artists or new releases of already famous people, but I can listen to my favorite records or tracks, I draw something for myself, I get inspired. Music is the background of my life, I can't live without it, I live and get inspired by it. Leaving the house with me always the player and my favorite singles are loaded on the phone, on vacation the player is also with me.

Who can you mention from the performers?

Now there are a lot of outstanding representatives - I like the new album by Yulia Parshuta, the work of Elina Chaga, Lena Temnikova, Tatiana Reshetnyak, Sergey Lazarev .... There is not enough time and place to list everyone. (laughs)



And Olga Buzova?

Olya is a phenomenon and she is definitely a gifted person who is not afraid, tries herself in different genres and goes ahead to her dream, this can only be learned from her. And for each work there is a viewer, why belittle someone and praise someone, this is a matter of taste.

Do you feel the same way about fashion?

Yes. I can put on a thing about which everyone will say why you need it or it is not in terms of status. I am not chasing price and brands. I want to - buy a T-shirt with Mickey Mouse or a sweatshirt with a panda, I want ripped jeans and sneakers, now I like to try on shirts, not quite classic ones, but I come to this style gradually, I grow up, I change, but I remain myself. Individuality is very important.



Would you like to change your hairstyle or hair color?

Many offer, until I want to - I really like what I have on my head now - both hair color and length. I am comfortable. The time will come, maybe I will shave my head, but for now I want to be what I am now.

You have a very textured face, would you like to try yourself as a model?

Thank you, to be honest I am very attracted to this industry, but it didn’t come out in growth, so it didn’t work out, and I didn’t fight for the place of a photo model. There was a case when, under the pretext of filming, young guys were lured to a controversial event for wealthy ladies and I got to this "casting", selected by a photo.

Thank God I was weeded out, which made me incredibly happy - it's not mine, there is one person in the photo, I can change, give different energies, everything is different in life. Now I work closely with the photographer Anna Stollenwerk - she also complimented my texture, and time will tell what will happen next, I am open to cooperation.



Do you like castings in general?

I hate it. (laughs) But I love the adrenaline that you experience on them, very exciting sensations, but casting is a matter of chance, I'm used to punching my own way, so I'm usually unlucky with them.

You are also a songwriter, who sings your hits now?

Irina Ortman, Lena Semenova, Maria Nedelkova have already released my songs, and the legendary "Gems" and Yulia Beretta are in the process of recording.

What do you put into songs for yourself? What about others?

I do not divide my work into mine and someone else's, I put emotions, feelings, love and sincerity into all my songs.



You do charity work - is that so?

Yes, and I urge all my friends and subscribers to this good activity. You can transfer 50 rubles to a kitten and they will save his life, or write three motivating sentences to someone and the person will get out of depression. You need help! We are all human and we all need help in one way or another. I never refuse charity performances, and now I have started to closely cooperate with the organizer of the "Let's Help Together" campaign Natalia Dedova.

What can your listeners expect in the future?

On May 19, on all digital platforms - my musical family and I are releasing a mini-album "Tears of the Soul" with the publishing house "Monolith" - it will contain 9 tracks, and which ones you will find out at the time of release. (smiles) There will also be concerts, filming, in general, everything is as usual.

Thanks for the interview, what are your wishes for our readers?

Thank you for the opportunity to convey your thoughts, I wish you prosperity and inspiration, and all visitors of unlimited happiness, mutual love and success in all your endeavors.
