Zemfira: biography

Zemfira is the «broken voice of the generation», according to the «Ogonek» magazine, a Russian rock singer, songwriter, composer and music producer. Zemfira created Russian rock, which journalists defined as «female rock».

Zemfira Ramazanova opened a new page in Russian rock music. The press calls her style as «female rock». The singer, who topped all radio stations, is still popular after 18 years. And every year the number of her fans only grows.

Zemfira was born in Ufa to an intelligent Tatar-Bashkir family. Her father Talgat Talhovich worked as a teacher of history, and the mother Florida Hakievna worked as a specialist in physiotherapy. The girl had an elder brother Ramil, with whom the singer had close and trusting relationship.

Zemfira’s talent for music was revealed very early, already at the age of five the future singer studied in a specialized music school where she studied piano and was a soloist in the student choir. At the same time she appeared on local television with a song.

When Zemfira was seven years old she wrote her first song, performing it at her mother’s work. In school years, Zemfira was fond of the songs of the music band «Kino»: according to the singer, the songs of Viktor Tsoi and Thom Yorke affected her very much.

At school Zemfira was fond of basketball. Despite the fact that the girl was lower than other girls in the team, she became the captain of the Russian junior team. Thus, in the last classes she had a dilemma: sport or music. Zemfira chose the latter and entered the Ufa School of Arts at the Faculty of pop and jazz vocal.

In parallel with training in high school the girl began to earn money, singing popular songs in Ufa restaurants. However, it was rather boring for her, and in 1996 Zemfira got a job on the radio: she recorded commercials for the Bashkir radio station «Europe Plus». Then she wrote her first demo.

Music career

The biography of Zemfira changed in 1997, when at the annual rock festival «Maxidro» the producer of the group «Mumiy Troll» Leonid Burlakov got the cassette with her songs. Leonid decided to give a chance to the talented singer, and at the end of 1998 Zemfira recorded his first album «Zemfira» at Mosfilm studio.

The first album was made in the capital of Great Britain under the leadership of Ilya Lagutenko, the front man and leader of “Mumiy Troll”. The guitarist and drummer of the band also took part in the recording. The disc was released in May 1999. Such songs as «AIDS», «Rockets» and «Ariwederchi» were included into the rotation of radio stations earlier in February. Thus, the public was prepared for the birth of a new star. The song “Ariwederchi” became very popular, but because of the difficult name, fans often called this song as «Ships» on the first word of the chorus.

The presentation of the album took place on May 8 at the club «16 tons». The scene was decorated in spring style, and the singer had flowers in her hair. She used one of the flowers, singing the song «Camomiles».

Also such songs as «Rumba», «Maychki» (also known under the name «Anechka»), «Synoptic», «Why» and others were included to the album.

The album had a great success, over the first six months it was sold more than seven hundred thousand copies. Three video clips were shot: the Riga video for the song «AIDS», which wasn’t released on big screens, «Why» — a concert video from the singer’s concert in Ufa, and the video “Ariwederchi”, which was edited and directed in rather strange manner, immediately won the hearts of thousands of fans (Zemfira’s face on this video was shaded, there were rumors that the singer is a side project of Lagutenko). The songs «Snow» and «London» were also released.

The first tour, which started three months after the release of the album, also exceeded all expectations: the concerts were full. At the end of the tour Zemfira becomes the headliner of the first music festival «Invasion».

After returning from the tour the group «Zemfira» begins to record a new album, which also was named after one of the songs «Forgive me, my love.» The singer admits that it was difficult to create titles.

Nevertheless, «Forgive me, my love» became the most popular disc of 2000 in Russia, and also the most commercially successful of all the discography of Zemfira. The song «Searching» from the new album became a soundtrack of the cult film «Brother 2».

Other songs were also included in the album, which critics and fans later called Zemfira’s hits: «Ripened», «Do you want?», «City», «Proved», «P. M. M. L. » and «Sunrises «. Also the album included the songs «Cigarettes», «Do not Let Go» and «London».

The singer becomes the «Singer of the Year» according to the music magazine «OM».

Zemfira didn’t like the increased popularity, and at the end of 2000 she went on a creative vacation, taking part in only one project, dedicated to her musical idol — Victor Tsoi. For the concert «Kinoproby» Zemfira recorded the song «Cuckoo», which was later also included in the single «Goodbye», and «Every night».

The next stage was Zemfira’s album «Fourteen weeks of silence», which was released in 2002. During this time, the girl thought a lot about her work, and the album turned out to be unlike her previous albums. Zemfira refused to sing in one style. Because earlier she was constantly compared to «Mumiy Troll», although the band’s musicians still participated in recording songs.

The songs «Webgirl», the undisputed hit of the singer, which the fans remembered under the Russian name «The Girl Who Lives on the Web», as well as «Fairy Tales», «Macho» (also known as «Drunken Macho»), «The Main» and others were included in the album. One million discs were sold out, and the singer won the «Triumph» award in 2003. Such singles as «Infinity» and «Traffic» were also released.

2004 was marked for Zemfira by several events at once. She had two bright duets: one at the rock festival «Maxidrome» along with Ilya Lagutenko and the second with Queen at the MTV Russia Music Awards (Freddie Mercury’s immortal «We are the Champions»).

Zemfira decided to get a higher education in philosophy and entered the Moscow State University, but she did not manage to finish her studies, because she devoted too much time to music.

In 2005, Zemfira’s collaboration with an actress and director, charismatic Renata Litvinova begins. Zemfira was invited to create music for the film «Goddess: how I fell in love» by Litvinova. Subsequently, Renata directed the video clip for the song «Itogi» and many other works of the singer. Zemfira’s song «Love as an accidental death» was included in the film’s soundtrack.

In 2005 the singer presented the fourth album «Vendetta», which included songs «Airplane», «Breathe», «Nebomoreoblaka», «Let’s leave it». The singer named the album eclectic in sound, and the main theme was search and anxiety.

In October 2007, Zemfira’s new album «Thank you» was released, which the singer released on her own behalf, saying that the group «Zemfira» no longer exists, and there is only the singer Zemfira Ramazanova. The title song of the album was «In the metro», which the singer described as both fighting and lyric.

Before the presentation the song «Boy» and the video clip for the song «We are broken», shot by Renata Litvinova, were released. The songs prepared the audience for the next album.

During the concert tour, a special single «10 boys» was on sale, including ten remixes for the song «Boy», which was collected from the number of works that people sent to the Internet contest. At the same time the film-concert «The Green Theater in Zemfira» was presented, which was shot by Litvinova during the singer’s performance in Gorky Park in Moscow.

The final concert of the tour was held in «Olympyski». According to the singer, it took her two years to prepare for the concert. The concert became Zemfira’s major victory.

In 2009 Zemfira released the album «Z-sides», and also tours in Russia and abroad. Also the singer was working on the soundtrack to the art house film «The Last Fairy Tale of Rita», shot by her friend Renata Litvinova. In the same year, the singer writes the single «Australia».

In 2010 the magazine «Afisha» created a list of «50 best Russian albums of all time. The choice of young musicians. “The debut album of the singer took the fifth place in this list, and the album «Forgive me, my love» — the 43rd. Zemfira also received a prize from the Russian Authors’ Society «For Contribution to the Development of Science, Culture and Art».

In 2011, the singer released singles «Money» and «No Chances».

The next album of Zemfira became another success in the history of Russian rock. The disk «To live in your head» had an amazing combination of minimalism, style and sound clarity. It set a new record in Russian Internet sales.

At the end of 2013 three songs were released on iTunes, which almost immediately topped the Russian chart. The group «The Uchpochmack» was written as its singers, this Bashkir word means «triangle». According to the legend, described in the official community of the group in social networks, the team included guitarist Bro, bassist and drummer Luka and vocalist Rocket, represented by animation characters.

Zefira’s voice was recognized immediately, and soon she announced the presentation of her side project in the main concert hall «Russia», where the mystery of the personalities of Bro and Luke was revealed: they were Zemfira’s nephews, twins Artem and Arthur Ramazanov.

At the end of 2013 Zemfira was awarded the MTV Europe Music Awards as the best Russian singer. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the rock singer was on the list of «One hundred most influential women in Russia».

In late October, 2015, Zemfira announced her new concert tour «Little Man».

Personal life 

Personal life of Zemfira was filled with all sorts of rumors and conjectures. The beginning of this the singer put herself, at the very beginning announcing her upcoming wedding with the leader of the group «Tancy Minus» Vyacheslav Petkun, which was nothing more than marketing. Since then, the name of Zemfira is unreasonably associated with the oligarch Roman Abramovich, then with the director of the singer Anastasia Kalmanovich.

In recent years, journalists say that Zemfira and Renata Litvinova are more than friends. In the media there were rumors that the stars got married in Stockholm. But they do not comment on this information. The secretive nature of the singer and her dislike for the interview allows journalists to only speculate about her private life.

In 2010, in the family of Zemfira there was a tragedy — her elder brother, Ramil, drowned in the river during the underwater hunting. A year earlier, the dad of the singer Talgat Talhovich died from a long illness, and in early 2015 the singer lost her mother. Since then, the girl tries to take care of the her nephews Arthur and Artem, because of that in 2013 Zemfira created with them a musical project. She has no her own children.

Zemfira has a fan page in Instagram with 188 thousand followers. The account is not verified, and the photos are mostly made at concerts and other social events.

During the tour «Little Man» the singer visited more than 20 cities in Russia, as well as the cities abroad. The first part of the tour started in February, 2016 in Omsk and ended in April in Moscow, the second part was held abroad: in Israel, Germany, Britain, the United Arab Emirates, the USA and Canada.

During the tour «Little Man» Zemfira announced that she stoops making tours. Nevertheless, the singer continued to present, and distribute already recorded songs. Today the official site of Zemfira is a landing page. There are large black and white photos with links to popular online music stores where people can buy Zemfira’s songs: «Apple Music», «Google play», «Yandex. Music «,» Spotify «,» Deezer «and» Zvooq «.

In 2016, Zemfira recorded a new track «Come Home».

Zemfira Talgatovna Ramazanova (Russian: Земфира Талгатовна Рамазанова, Tatar: Земфира Тәлгать кызы Рамазанова; born 26 August 1976) is a Russian rock musician. She has been performing since 1998 and has been popular in Russia and other former Soviet republics. To date Zemfira has sold over 3 million records.^[1]

Biography[edit]

An ethnic Volga Tatar, she was born in a typical middle-class family – her mother is a doctor, and her father is a history teacher. At the age of 4, Zemfira became interested in music and entered a music school the following year (where she studied piano performance and voice) and writing her first song when she was seven years old. Her older brother Ramil introduced her to rock music, which became her real passion – she listened to Black Sabbath, Nazareth and Queen, learning to play the guitar. In the 7th grade, Zemfira split her time between music and basketball, becoming the captain of the Russian Girls’ Junior Basketball Team by 1990. She began to lose interest in classical music, preferring instead to hang out with friends in the streets of Ufa and covering songs by Russian rock groups such as Kino, Nautilus Pompilius and Aquarium (who reached the peak of their popularity in the early 1990s).

At the urging of her mother, Zemfira continued with piano studies and graduated music school with honors. In her last year of high school, basketball competed with school work, and the singer abandoned the sport in favour of music. She took the entrance exams for the Ufa College of Fine Arts^[2] and was admitted into the second year, studying vocal performance. During college, she performed jazz and rock and roll standards in various local bars and restaurants accompanied by her friend, saxophone player Vlad Kolchin. She graduated with honors, and in 1996 took a job as a sound engineer at the Ufa subsidiary of the radio station «Europe Plus».

For the next couple of years Zemfira spent her days making advertisement recordings at the station and her nights on a computer, where she recorded the songs that would later become the singles «Why» (Почему), «Snow» (Снег), and «Weatherman» (Синоптик). In early 1998, Zemfira invited Rinat Akhmadiyev, Sergei Sozinov, Sergei Mirolyubov, and Vadim Solovyov to join Zemfira. Their first professional gig took place on 19 June 1999 as part of a festival celebrating the anniversary of a local radio station Silver Rain Ufa. Shortly after Zemfira sent out promo tapes to multiple Moscow producers, one of whom (Ilya Lagutenko from Mumiy Troll) was smitten with the material, and invited the band for some sessions in Moscow.

Career[edit]

1999–2005[edit]

Recording and production work on the debut album took place at Mosfilm Moscow until 10 May 1999, when the debut was finally released. The promotion of Zemfira prior to the release included heavy rotation of singles «AIDS» (СПИД), «Arrivederci» (Aриведерчи), and «Rockets» (Ракеты) as well as the video clips for those songs. The band immediately went on tour, starting a tradition of celebrating their beginnings with a summer concert in Ufa while recording their second album Forgive Me My Love (Прости Меня Моя Любовь). The group enjoyed popularity from the start, in part because of heavy rotation on radio and television, and in part because a female rocker is a fairly rare and unusual concept for the Russian music scene (which to this day is dominated by scantily-clad female pop singers).

After the release of PMML (Russian abbreviation for Forgive Me My Love) in March 2000, what can only be described as “Zemfiromania” swept the country. «Searching» (Искала) and «Ripe» (Созрела) became instant hits, and the group was invited to headline the festival Maxidrom. Constant touring wore down on the band, and after the release of 14 Weeks of Silence the band took a break.

In September 2004, Zemfira began studies towards a degree in Philosophy at Moscow State University, but after the first semester she took a sabbatical and did not resume her studies thereafter. On 16 October on the MTV Russia Awards show the singer performed «We Are the Champions» together with the rock group Queen.^[3]

The fourth studio album, Vendetta, which consists of 15 tracks, was released on 1 March 2005. The recording became a result of Zemfira’s collaboration with several musicians: Igor Vdovin, Korney, Vlad Kreymer, Yuri Tsaler and Oleg Pungin. Primarily the album was going to be named «Oil», but the title was changed few days before the official release.^[4] «Vendetta» got many positive reviews.^[5][6][7]

2007–present[edit]

On 14 February 2007, a collection of music videos Zemfira.DVD was released.^[8] It contains all the singer’s clips, except AIDS and Traffic.^[9]

In May and June 2007, Zemfira embarked on a short concert tour titled ‘Déjà Vu’, with performances held in smaller venues (clubs and small theatres). The tour culminated with a Moscow performance at the Green Theatre which was filmed by Renata Litvinova. The tour program focused on stylish remakes of the singer’s top hits, often reworked in styles such as jazz, ska, bossa nova, and blues. A new album, Thank You (Спасибо), was released at the beginning of October. It is described by Zemfira herself as ‘very positive’, in contrast to what she terms the ‘restlessness’ of Vendetta.^[10]

The concert movie Green Theatre in Zemfira, which mixes Zemfira’s monologues with selected songs shot during her live performance at the open air show in Moscow, was released in several Russian digital movie theatres on 21 February 2008.^[11] Later it was also released on DVD and Blu-ray.^[12]

The final concert in support of Thank You was staged on 1 April 2008 at the Olimpiysky stadium in Moscow; some journalists considered it as the best performance in her career.^[13] Later in June Zemfira was awarded an independent Steppenwolf prize established by a musical critic Artemy Troitsky. She won in two categories: The Best Performance (for the Olimpiysky show) and The Best Album (Thank You). The movie-concert Green Theatre in Zemfira by Litvinova was named the best musical movie of the year.^[14]

On 21 March 2009, an album of b-sides Z-Sides leaked into the net.^[9]

In June 2010, Zemfira wrote on her official website: «vacation is over» and announced a mini-tour in support of a deluxe-edition of her first three albums (Zemfira, PMML and 14 Weeks of Silence).^[10] On 1 August she performed a set of 4 songs on the closing concert of a pop-music contest New Wave.^[15] It was her first performance since January 2009. The arrangements of this set were used in the mini-tour in September that included 5 cities: Saint-Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Minsk, Kyiv and Moscow. Critics admitted that her old songs became more rhythmic and resembled demo-versions due to the new minimalistic style of arrangements.^[16] In October Zemfira took part in two tribute concerts «20 Years without KINO» in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg that were dedicated to the memory of Viktor Tsoi. Her gig of four covers on Tsoi’s songs was seen by some journalists as the most noticeable performance in the program.^[17][18]

On New Year’s Eve 2011, the video version of two Moscow concerts staged in Crocus City Hall and Strelka Institute in September 2010 was broadcast on Dozhd’ (Rain) TV channel. The video was directed by Renata Litvinova.^[19] Then the singer informed her fans that the release of her sixth album had moved to Fall 2011.^[10] The first single No Chance (Bez shansov) was presented on Nashe Radio on 15 April. During the next three months she gave three performances: on 28 May Zemfira took part in the international rock festival Maxidrom along with The Prodigy, Adam Lambert, Korn, Brainstorm and other artists;^[20] then she became a Russian headliner of a Muz-TV Awards ceremony show at Olimpiysky stadium on 3 June;^[21] on 23 July Zemfira performed at the Afisha Picnic outdoor festival in Moscow as the Russian headliner of the main stage. During that gig she presented a new song called «Money».^[22] At her April 2013 concert in Kyiv, she was joined by several leading figures of Ukrainian showbusiness on stage, including Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. She offended some audience members by comparing Kyiv to Moscow, in that she had to work hard, rather than Odessa and St Petersburg where the crowd do the work.^[23]

In July 2015, Zemfira unfurled Ukraine’s national flag at a concert in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, drawing criticism from Russian media, while several promoters in Russia abandoned their plans to include her in their programs.^[24] However, in 2016, in a concert in Lithuania, Zemfira demanded the audience to remove a huge Ukrainian flag that was unfolded by fans. She said, «I’m Russian, we’re in Lithuania. I’m asking you, get rid of that flag. Whilst you love your country, I love mine.»^[25][26]

In February 2016, during her «Little Man» (Маленький человек) tour Zemfira announced that she would stop touring, which was misrepresented in the media as her abandoning musical performance altogether.^[27] Musical critic Troitsky commented that while he does not doubt that the announcement was made in earnest, he believed that since Zemfira is an emotional person, she may change her decision later.^[28] As of November 2016, the «Little Man» tour continues in North America.^[29]

On 6 September 2020, Zemfira performed as a headliner at the Stereoleto festival in St. Petersburg.^[30]

In 2021, Zemfira’s music video «остин (Austin)», directed by Alexey Krupnik, was the overall winner of the Berlin Music Video Awards, while it also won the award for the Best Concept category.^[31]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, officially forbidden to be called a war in Russia, her website featured only the statement «нет войне» («no to war»). Though she performed a concert in Moscow on the day the invasion began, she was reported to have left the country. On 21 March, she released an anti-war music video to her 2017 song «Don’t Shoot», while also removing all of her other songs from her YouTube channel. The video contained footage of Russia’s military assault on Ukraine and of anti-war protests in Moscow.^[32] She is currently residing with her partner, Renata Litvinova, in Paris.^[33] In February 2023, the Russian government placed Zemfira in its list of «foreign agents».^[34]
