Timati: nationality, biography (photo)

The Yunusovs' family was already quite prosperous by the time of the birth of their first son. It would seem that any child who is born to well-off parents, will grow spoiled "majeure", but everything turned out wrong. The parents of the future star adhered to several conservative views on the question of the formation of a person as an individual, believing that everyone should achieve success in their own lives, as they did. So, in Moscow on August 15, 1983 in the family of Ildar Yunusov and Simony Yunusova (Chervomorskoe), Timur Yunusov (Timati) was born. The nationality of the boy has been controversial since that time.

Birth of a star

As for his creative abilities, his parents noticed them even in the early childhood of Timur. Therefore, while still a schoolboy, he also attended a music school in which he practiced singing and violin. Despite the fact that the boy clearly had successes in vocals, he categorically did not want to engage in violin, but his mother, seeing the potential (plus the musical roots along her line), continued to insist on mastering the voice and musical instrument. At that time, no one was interested in the question of the nationality of Timati. He was still unknown to anyone.

After receiving secondary education, he enters the Higher School of Economics, but after a short time Timur understands that this is not his way and after 6 months he gives up his studies.

Adolescence. The beginning of the musician's becoming

In 1996, then still unknown to Timati parents are sent to Los Angeles, so that he looked at the world and, perhaps, warmed up his interest in learning. But the hopes of the parents have not been justified, and, instead of engaging in self-development and science, he pays more attention to hip-hop and club parties. It was this period in his life that became a turning point when he decided exactly what he would do in the future. Therefore, after returning to the Russian capital, he started show business, which began with working in clubs. And these were quite well-known and popular institutions, such as "Marika", "Most" and others.

The musician constantly visits the gym and keeps himself in good physical shape, but because of his cocky character gets into one of the fights, where he gets 2 knife wounds in the abdomen area, which now resemble scars. It is rumored that this happened precisely because of the question of the nationality of Timati, some of the "Slavic-oriented" groups. By the way, this topic was mentioned in one of the films, where the musician played himself.

By the way, there is a lot of controversy on this topic, Timary's nationality is Tatar, but his mother is Jewish, and the whole intrigue is that in the latter the nationality of a person is determined solely by the female line, thus one can even say that Timur - He is a Jew.

Musical future

Despite all the problems and difficulties, the future "star" shows itself from the very best sides, and thanks to music education, he makes every effort to achieve success in this direction. Timur is very fond of rap culture and begins to write songs a little on his own. As the musician himself said, in his work he was helped by a talisman in the form of a large "T".

We can say that Timati has a nationality - an Uzbek, at least, some sources on the Internet say. In fact, about its origin there are as many rumors as there are about all the creative path.

Biography Timati: nationality

The official beginning of the career, or rather attempts to start it, can be considered 1998. It was then that the first collective of Timati was created, it was called VIP77, which meant "Very Important People of the 77th District of Moscow". The group had only 7 people, of which only its founder became more or less popular. Despite the fact that all of their work was well received at non-professional festivals and in some clubs, they did not achieve success. However, a year before its official disintegration, the group managed to even release the first album called The Album. Timati's biography, whose nationality still attracts interest among fans of his work, has practically no white spots. So, in 2000, Timur first hit the wide screen, thanks to the video of the "Party".

2004 was marked by the participation of Timati, Dominic Joker and Ratmir Shishkov in the television project "Star Factory-4". It was at this very moment that the collective was assembled, which was later named as "Banda". The group was not able to win the project, but instead they managed to declare themselves, after which Igor Krutoy decided to take up their team. Soon, the composition "Crying the Heavens" appears in the media space. The song very quickly gained a lot of popularity and after it appears the next hit - "New People".

Next year (2005) gives Timati even more popularity, thanks to his video with Alex "Where are you?". At the same time, the debut album "New People" was released. Alex and Timati were familiar with the "Factory", the producers decided that for their image and popularity it would be better to create the illusion of love and romantic relationships between them. Thus, in public they tried to support their legend in every possible way. In the same year, Timati starred in the movie "Male Season: Velvet Revolution."

Soon the whole team goes on tour in Russia. Timur manages to participate in the "Band" and VIP77 at the same time. Naturally, their leader was Timati. The nationality of all the participants in the groups was different, but this did not stop them from creatively developing and successfully existing. At the end of the tour, the Black Club opens. At the same time, he quarrels with Alexa, that even for a while begins a relationship with one of the businessmen of Donetsk. But soon they were together again.

In 2006, the world saw the release of the first solo album called Black Star. Starts and his debut show "Yuppie on pickup." Also a hit was recorded along with Alexa - "When you're near". This composition was so popular that immediately led the first lines of the musical charts of Russia and the CIS.

2007 began with an official statement on the termination of relations between Alex and Timati. The nationality or the harsh nature of the musician served this decision - for certain it is not known until now. Now, not burdened by serious relationships, the young artist dives headlong into solo projects. And the active work begins not only on the musical part, but also the improvement of acting skills. The main role in the film "Heat," the scoring of the cartoon "Catch the wave", the shooting of clips "Do not go crazy" and "Dance".

In 2008, another composition was presented on the theme of the capital of Russia, in the work on which Dj Smash took part, - "My Moscow". In the same year, the production work on the clip of Sergei Lazarev - Lazerboy was done.

In 2009, in November, the second solo album of the artist called The Boss was released. Also this year, a call was made to the ranks of the Russian army, under which Timati also fell. Nationality in this case was of no importance, and a reference issued by doctors in the course of the examination helped him to "cut off", it referred to the mental imbalance of the artist.

In 2010, the musician declares that he is going to release the English version of The Boss. But this process is delayed, and soon it is postponed. In the summer, there is a grand opening of his store with a personal design line. In the same year, closer to its end, there are 2 more clips: "How much is love" and "Time".

In 2011, Timati enters the arena of European nightclubs with a remix for the song Welcome to St. Petersburg. Tropez from DJ Antoine.

Our days

At the moment, the artist is actively working with many foreign rap artists, such as Snoop Dogg and P.Diddy. But, despite this, he positions himself more as a businessman than a musician under the pseudonym Timati. The autobiography (a nationality in which it is not mentioned) nevertheless speaks of him first of all as a very talented musician who was able to make a revolution in the music of Russia.
