Sergey Ogurtsov became famous under the name Lemokh. Soviet and Russian singer, composer was the permanent leader of the groups "Kar-Man" and "Carbonrock".
There were many pop stars on the national stage of the nineties. Most of them have long left the musical Olympus. However, those who remain by ear, as before, represent new products of creativity. One of these centenarians was Sergei Mikhailovich Ogurtsov, known under the maiden name of his mother Lemokh.
Musical take-off
The biography of the artist began in 1965. Sergey was born in Serpukhov near Moscow in the family of a teacher and a military man. Ten years earlier, the parents had the first-born Alex. He chose the profession of a doctor, became the head of the dispensary.
From the age of five, Seryozha became interested in music. He studied for 4 years in a jazz studio. The young man continued to receive education at the metropolitan institute of Soviet trade. In the evenings, the student played keyboards in the group, moonlighting as a DJ at the Kauchuk Palace of Culture. During the day, became a model for the magazine Knitting, published by her mother.
Since 1989, cooperation began as a keyboard player with the famous singer Dmitry Malikov. The drummer was Bogdan Titomir. Together with his future colleague, Lemoh then worked on the hype, dancing with vocalist Vladimir Maltsev. The composition "Paris, Paris" was written for him.
Maltsev became her first performer. Subsequently, “Paris, Paris” turned into one of the hits of “Car-Man”. Talented guys found support in the person of composer and singer Arkady Ukupnik. At the end of 1989, the Kar-Man group was created.
Initially, the new team was positioned as an "exotic pop duet, " named after the fateful Spanish beauty "Carmen". However, in 1990 the name underwent a transformation, transforming into Kar-Man. The performers themselves justified such a change by the desire to erase the negative mention of the rival of modern beauties.
Popularity
The debut album "Around the World" was dedicated to life in different countries. Video clips were shot on the hits "Paris, Paris", "London, Goodbye", "Cio-Cio-San". After finishing work on the disc, Sergey did the new album “Kar-Mania” without the participation of Titomir, who began his solo career. All free parts were rewritten and performed by Sergei alone.
In 1991, the group took first places in the most prestigious competitions, received the Ovation Award, songs were created for Lada Dance and Natalia Gulkina. The third collection has collected the best songs, remixes of old hits. In 1993, the team toured the country. Lemokh starred in commercials, participated in the TV show "Marathon-15", recorded the soundtrack of the animated film "Captain Pronin."
The new year was marked by two discs - "Live …" and "Russian massive sound aggression." All the songs from them firmly held on the top lines of the muscharts. After the triumph, there was a lull. It ended only by 1996. The new disc, "Your Sexy Thing, " was composed of exceptionally slow tracks. Then there were tours in Germany and the United States, the group took part in international festivals.
In 1997, the band presented their new remix for the single "Robinson". The premiere took place on the television show "Surprise from Pugacheva". Lemoch’s solo album Polaris was released, followed by King of the Disc. In 1999, the disc "Back to the Future" was released with remixes of the band's first hits.
The popular project has not lost relevance to this day. Songs are still loved. Often they sound in the interpretation of the stars of show business in popular shows, for example, Just Like.
Family and music
Unlike creativity, Sergei Mikhailovich does not like to talk about his personal life. It is known that the singer equipped her twice. As a novice vocalist, Lemoh met his first darling Natalia. Endless touring in the nineties to the stops and the arrangement of the family did not give. The wife quickly realized that she had different views on everyday life with her husband.
The wife dreamed of a child, a quiet life, her chosen one strove for a constant creative process, to be in full view and at the hearing. Unable to bear the burden of glory, the union fell apart. During the marriage, two daughters were born, Lyudmila and Alisa. Both girls received a musical education. The eldest tried to realize herself as a DJ, but quickly realized that the lesson was not for her. The girl is busy with a new search for her niche. Alice in childhood became the host of the television program "We Did Not Pass This." The artist has two granddaughters - Aurora and Marina.
The new choice of the musician was a colleague in the group Ekaterina Kanaeva. She managed to create a trusting relationship with her husband’s already grown children. The couple does not have a common child, but Sergei does not mind becoming a father for the third time.
