Nature endows many people with musical abilities. However, not everyone becomes professional musicians. Natalya Chumakova, specialty teacher of the Russian language and literature. And by vocation - a performer of songs in the punk rock genre.
Restless childhood
Each person seeks to realize his talent and gain public recognition. Forms of expression of views and positions are selected according to circumstances. Natalya Yuryevna Chumakova expresses her creed using vocal data and a guitar. She can write lyrics to her own songs. The future punk rock performer was born July 14, 1969 in a family of Soviet teachers. Parents at that time lived in Kyrgyzstan. Father and mother worked as teachers at the school. In search of better living conditions, young teachers moved to Novgorod. But to get an apartment here failed.
After long expectations, the family moved to the famous city of Novosibirsk. Six months later, we received a comfortable apartment, where there were all the conditions for the harmonious development of the child. At school, Natalya studied well. In literature classes, I learned about the work of Sergei Yesenin and Marina Tsvetaeva. And she even began to write poetry, imitating her favorite poets. I myself learned to play the guitar and a little piano. When the time came to choose a profession, Chumakova decided to get a teacher education. In her student years she was fond of rock music.
"Civil defense"
Having received a teacher’s diploma, Chumakova worked for several years as a teacher at school. However, the lack of real prospects pushed her to change the scope of activities. She tried to do journalism. After some time, Natalia met with the musicians of the punk band "Party Leaders" and she was invited to join the group. Communication in the environment of the musical underground was accompanied by new acquaintances and connections. At one of the events, she met with Yegor Letov. At the first meeting, this man did not impress the girl.
From friends and acquaintances, Natalia learned that Letov is the leader of the legendary punk band Civil Defense. On the next date, they met for real. Between Natalia and Yegor, a creative and human relationship ensued. In May 1998, Chumakova began playing bass as part of a popular band. It is important to emphasize that Natalia fully shared Yegor’s views on life values and creativity. Letov, for the first time in his life, met such a woman and seems to have fallen in love.
