In March 2006, the debut album of the singer with the strange name Maxim called "Hard Age" was released. Not only did the songs appeal to a huge number of listeners, the fact that the girl bears a man’s name also fueled interest in the singer.
Steps to Popularity
Singer Maxim was born in Kazan, from an early age was fond of music - she studied at a music school in the class of vocals and piano. She began to write her songs very early. At the age of fourteen, Maxim wrote the songs "Alien", "Winter" and others, which subsequently entered her second album.
The musical pirates included the popular song of the young singer from Tatarstan “Get” into the album “Russian Ten”, but recorded the group “Tatu” as an artist.
In 2005, a young performer sets off to conquer Moscow. She brings with her all her material, demo recordings of songs and video footage of performances in clubs. I must say that by that time Maxim already had little popularity, her composition "Centimeters of Breath" took 34th place in the general radio chart of the CIS countries.
As a result, the ambitious girl went to Gala Records, where she stayed for a long time. Its popularity grew every day, the number of awards increased. Moreover, each of her albums diverged in circulation of at least a million copies. Songs from albums for several weeks occupied the first lines in the charts.
What is the secret of such popularity? Many critics cannot answer this question. Perhaps, in the competent presentation of the material by the producers of the singer, a well-thought out image. However, watching all the interviews with Maxim, reading all her comments in the press, you can understand that this girl does not pretend to be clean and kind. She is open and friendly indeed. Some of the critics compared it with the “Tender May” phenomenon, but Maxim is not a well-considered PR move, it is a living person.
