His first performance with the group took place in March, at the third festival of the Leningrad rock club, where the song “I start the way” sounded. Widespread fame came to him after the fourth festival, at which the compositions “We are together” and “My generation” were sounded.

He sang about himself: "Where I appeared, a scandal was thickened in the air." Konstantin Kinchev childhood, youth, family Konstantin was born on December 25 in the intelligent family of Muscovites Evgeny and Lyudmila Panfilov. Evgeny Alekseevich devoted his life to the technical sciences, defended his doctoral dissertation, and later headed the Moscow Technological Institute.

Lyudmila Nikolaevna was a mechanical engineer, taught theoretical mechanics at the Moscow Chemical and Technology Institute named after Dmitry Mendeleev. From early childhood, Kostya was a “musical” child, with enthusiasm he sang on matinees. But most of all, the boy wanted to become a Chingachguk to fight for justice, then a pirate by Silver to find the treasure. In the first grade, he told his peers that he knew the place where the treasures were buried, and persuaded the guys to poison with him in search of him.

Seven -year -old boys were removed from the train in Tula. To direct the violent energy of his son in a peaceful direction, he was given to the hockey section at the Spartak club. Kostya immediately began to dream of how the hockey star would become, but over time he realized that he was slipping and purely physically could not achieve great success in sports. By that time, the teenager was already fond of rock music, was excluded from the Komsomol for inappropriate behavior and laid his head in a sign of his head in protest.

He decided to certainly become a rock star, to create his own group. First of all, he took a pseudonym - the name of his grandfather, the repressed Bulgarian revolutionary Kinchev. His room was hung with portraits of Ozzi Osborne and painted with spiders. He fell in love with the Black Sabbath group as soon as he heard the song “Sweet Leaf”. After school, he loved to spend time putting on his mother’s wig, including heavy rock and imitated singing for three hours in front of the mirror, honing movements, imagining himself on the stage.

But the main instrument of each rocker is a guitar. And the teenager began to intensively master the chords on the strings, played to bloody corns on his fingers. I studied music theory textbooks, entered the jazz improvisation school according to the bass guitar class. Then in the courtyard he scored the guys who played musical instruments, and created a group with them.

At first, the boys played carcasses at that time awarding with diplomas of labor drummers in a local factory. Around them, they already played dancing in Krasnogorsk using the Deep Purple repertoire, Black Sabbath, Creedence, despite the fact that they did not know English. At the end of the school, Kinchev became a student of the milling holder at the Science factory, then he was an apprentice of the draftsman, worked as an artist-former until he entered the economic and financial faculty of the Moscow Technological Institute.

In parallel, Konstantin studied at a singing school at the Bolshoi Theater. He got there by the will of chance - in Pivbar he met a guy who brought him to listen. Having spared two romances - “Gori, Gori, My Star” and “Oh, it’s not evening, then not evening” - Kinchev impressed the reception committee and was admitted to the school. Later, Konstantin abandoned classes, interrupted by various part -time jobs: he was a model at the Surikovsky School, a loader, and the administrator of the women's basketball team.

For some time he took lessons in the jazz studio of Zamoskvorechye. In the year, Kinchev became a student at the Moscow Cooperative Institute, where he studied for three years. He did not leave the dream of becoming a rock star, an indestructible desire to sing his songs moved him in the right direction-he played in the groups “Golden Mean”, “The Circle of the Black Half”, “The Third Fan Command”.

Then he created his own team “Broken air”. Konstantin Kinchev, in his youth, Leningrad and the rock band Alice in the late seventies, Konstantin first visited Leningrad away from Andrei Zludovsky from the quartet “Secret” and “was amazed at the spirit of freedom and gouging”. In the year, he escaped from Moscow, lived all summer in the city on the Neva, played on the apartment, which he earned a living.

His work appeared the first admirers. After recording the album, Zaderia called Kinchev to Alice. The group declared itself at the third festival of the Leningrad rock club March, where for the first time the song “I start the way” sounded for a wide viewer. Konstantin Kinchev at the radio station of all the guys sang six songs that made an indelible impression on the public. Later, the composition “We together” became hits in the future - the business card “Alice”, “to me”, “Meloman”, which included in the first album called “Energy”, which was released at the beginning of the year.

After the album was released and performed at the fourth festival of the Leningrad rock club between the musicians, creative disagreements began. Zaderia left Alice: he did not like that the group was becoming more and more “commercially oriented”.In the year, Zaderia left Alice, leaving the right to the name for the rest of the group’s members, and Kinchev became its generally recognized leader.

The second album of the “Bloc of Hell” with the hits “Time to change the names”, “Red on black” was released. In the same year, in order not to get the article “For parasitism”, Konstantin accepted the proposal of the director of the Department of Valery Ogorodnikov and played the main role in his drama “Happer”. Kinchev was dissatisfied with his own game, although he became the laureate of the International Film Festival Prize in Sofia in the nomination "Best Actor of the Year".

However, the film, according to the artist, became his “security diploma” when persecution began on him. A serious conflict with the police arose after a concert at the Yubileiny Sports Palace on November 16. The reports read about a thousand teenagers who did not have tickets, tried to break into the hall. Result: 20 seats were damaged, a wheel was lowered in patrol vehicles, a mirror was broken, a state sign was torn off, and 2 electromahegaphones were broken.

The persecution of the musicians in the press began, a criminal case was opened. But after the release of the film, he was left alone. The matter was not only closed, but also published a refutation in the same publication that Kinchev had previously poisoned. The events of that time were reflected in the songs included in the albums of the Sixth Forester and Art. In the year, Kinchev was heavily experienced by the death of a friend, the talented poet and bard Alexander Bashlachev.

Soon, the album of the same name also came out. In the year, having been on tour in Israel and visiting Jerusalem, the musician, upon returning home, accepted Orthodoxy and made a baptism of baptism. This event influenced not only Kinchev himself, but also on the repertoire of the group. Revaluation of values ​​affected everything. Firstly, Kinchev coped with drug addiction.

He began to use drugs even at school: as usual, he began with marijuana, “inspired” by the example of Ozzi Osbourne, then switched to heavier drugs and eventually tried almost everything. He collected a poppy in summer cottages, he was, as he put in an interview with Yuri Dudu in the register of foreign agents of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, “in hell”.

But the appeal to Christianity helped him overcome the destructive habit - he finally threw drugs by the year. In the Kinchev family there are fewer quarrels, his poems changed their orientation, and Konstantin gradually turned into a monarchist from anarchist. For almost a year, the group stopped concert, after which an album was released in memory of a friend and colleagues called “Black Tag”, entitled by the song “To die young”.

The following records - Jazz and “Geopolitics” Kinchev’s solo album were released two and four years later.

Kinchev’s problems arose after the release of the “Solstice” disk. For its design, Konstantin Kinchev was accused of fascism. The radio refused to put songs on the air, thereby protesting against the left -sided swastika, which was depicted on the cover. And even when the musician explained that the symbol is “the worship of the grace of the Holy Spirit”, the radio stations did not change their opinion.

A year later, a book of poems by the artist "Solstarot" appeared. The eleventh album “Alice was somewhat different from the rest, which caused a wave of admiration and reproaches in relation to the artist. The compositions of new albums were permeated with philosophical and religious topics: “Without a Cross”, “Heaven of the Slavs”, “Outcast”, “Antichrist”, “Sun - Jerusalem”.

In the year, the group released the fifteenth album "Pulse of the Keeper of the Doors of the Labyrinth" dedicated to Victor Tsoi. Of the later works of the collective, fans were noted by the Hits “Verateno”, “Mom”, “On the threshold of the sky”. In the year, Konstantin was in the intensive care unit of the hospital with a heart attack. According to the doctors, his fortune was difficult, but he coped with a crisis, and in the same year the excess disc was released, which included songs about the experience.

Since the year, Kinchev again began to perform concerts, but he significantly reduced activity. A joyful event for his fans was Alice's touring tour in the year, as well as a video for the song “Acrobata Dreams”, which was shot by Anna Tsukanova-Kott. Just a month before the announcement of the self-isolation regime due to the pandemic of the coronavirus, the vocalist of Alice announced the preparatory first annual festival of heavy music Kkinchevfest under the slogan "We are together." But the festival had to be postponed, and during the pandemic period to engage in new works.

So the composition “Dejavu” was born, which Konstantin Evgenievich devoted to the events. In addition, in the year, Kinchev was ill with coronavirus in severe form and almost re -learned to speak and walk. Kinchev and Kalinov Bridge in the year Kkinchevfest started, as stated, in the public space of St. Petersburg “Sevkabel Port”. In the same year, Kinchev’s solo album “White noise” was released, which included the compositions “Webinar”, “Oxymoron”, “Age of will cannot be seen”.

In the year, a furor was produced by the new studio album of the Alice group, which was called the "pipe". The songs of Kinchev’s poems again caused discrepancies: some called them topical, the latter - oversaturated with artistic images, others spoke of patriotism ... there were no indifferent. In the next interview, the poet admitted that it was always difficult for him to engage in explanations of what his poems and songs about, but some of them still “deciphered”.

For example, in the composition “Pokrov”, in which there are words about the fight of Peresvet and Chelubei: “And one, as it is, turned into nothing and the other went to heaven,” fans saw a reference to similar words of Vladimir Putin, but the artist said that he sang a song about Holy Rus', in which the holy monk Peresvet gave his life for it, entering the battle with enemies.

A year later, a large concert of the group took place in the St. Petersburg “Yubilein” and Moscow “CSKA Arena” in honor of the flying of creative activity, which was talked at the country on the country. In the same year, the Alice frontman celebrated the lady with a concert at the Gorbunov recreation center. Konstantin Kincheva’s personal life of his first love, a girl named Lena, met the future famous rocker in kindergarten.

It was with her that he tried to find out why the girls were “like”, and the boys “wrong” during a quiet sleep. Lena at home told her grandmother about this, who asked the educators to shift too an inquisitive boy away from her granddaughter. Subsequently, Kostya had many fans, and he married in the early eighties on Leningradka Anna Golubeva. In the year, the couple had a son Eugene, later a sports journalist, and then the administrator of the Alice group.
