The biography of a person who seeks to "reach great heights" is written ahead of time. The future celebrity lays the cornerstones at the base of her biography. Such a “stone” for Nikolai Tamrazov was nationality and family. In questionnaires he deduced in calligraphic handwriting - the Assyrian. At the same time, Kolya was born in Dnepropetrovsk two years before the start of World War II. In a really poor family. Mom and grandmother are hereditary Cossacks. As was customary in those days, the child was not specifically taught anything.
Nikolay grew up and absorbed habits, rules of behavior and other information in an atmosphere of love, kindness and honesty. Folk art is born precisely in such families. Mother and grandmother beautifully sang old songs in two voices. At the age of seven, Kolyunka Tamrazov performed adult songs with such dedication that a tear broke in the audience. He began to be invited to weddings and other family holidays. Today we can say that it was at this time that Nikolai's creative career began.
To some extent, a randomly talented teenager was invited to a choreographic school. In 1956, while still a student, Tamrazov began performing on the stage of the Dnepropetrovsk Drama Theater. The role of a ballet dancer seemed close to him and Nikolai entered the Kharkov Institute of Arts. Here it's time to start your own family. Husband and wife, as they say, are "cooked" in the same environment. They have a daughter. But personal life is difficult due to domestic disorder. And then the head of the family decides to go to the capital.
