Biography of the DJ gasoline
RU DJ Benzina, Professional DJ: A pseudonym that changed the life of an athlete, motorcyclist, professional DJ, dancer and just beauty. A girl that nature gave beauty and talent. The girl whose name means "hurricane", get acquainted, creative and unique - DJ Benzina! Where do you get such a love of music? From childhood. When you live very far from civilization, there is only one way to see another world - TV, but then not plasma and without a control panel.
For me, the beam of civilization was the only music channel - MTV and, of course, his star is Michael Jackson! I was crazy about his endless talent, songs, closed in the room and danced! Everything went from Jackson and I am madly sorry that today he is not among us, I think he would be pleased to learn about his talented students, like me - because with his culture he instilled in me both music and dancing.
Have you been professionally engaged in music and dancing? Unfortunately, I lived in a very small city and my family did not have a financial opportunity to pay for all dance and vocal circles, so I trained a lot at home, in front of the TV. I can safely call myself a self -taught! How did your pseudonym appear - DJ Benzina? Probably, the fault is my passion for ring racing on a motorcycle.
But my training was the case that my motorcycle was stalled on the track due to the fact that fuel ended in it. The most interesting thing is that refueling abroad is called "Benzino". This is the first reason for the appearance of my stage pseudonym, and the second is my inexhaustible energy! As for your music and performances, you are one of the brightest DJs of Russia, tell me about them?
It all started with the fact that when visiting the clubs I watched the performances of the DJs, I saw that many of them lack professionalism, because music is more than just pressing buttons and reducing tracks. In this profession, charisma is especially needed! That is how my quarry of the DJ began: I picked up the turntables with the understanding that the music needs to feel, to be on a constant wave of melody, because very few professionals can feel the music so that the courage is without stopping.
And you can safely call me a dinosaur, because I am a vinyl dija and thanks to this my style has developed! At first it was even funny, because I just learned to play, but I had a good taste in everything, and I knew how to dance - that is, I played professionally for the remote control. I combined this and became the first musician behind the remote control to make a real show! That is, you are a fashion legislator?
You can say so, because after me all the girls-dies began to play professionally behind the remote control. How did you make your first money? I earned my first money at the age of 11 - I painted kindergartens, earned 5 rubles a month, as I remember now. Then there was trading in shoes, clothes, tuning cars, dancing, in short - a little by little. Tell us more in more detail.
This is a very interesting period of my life, because we tried to create an analogue of Moulin Rouge in Russia at that time. The company of beautiful, talented girls gathered and work began. By the way, my friend, Julia Takshina, became a popular actress. We developed, worked a lot, creative, invented, we had beautiful choreographers, makeup artists, and costumers. We went to a high level and worked with such master of domestic show business as Sergey Zverev, Alla Pugacheva.
But, having worked a little in this area, I still went into music, music is an element, it is in everything, even in silence. And I believe that you need to leave this or that sphere on time, because, as one person told me: “You appeared beautifully and beautifully left! When you talk about music, your eyes glow, so you have decided on your element in life? Yes, DJ Benzina is my musical side, a strong side, my passion, my element!
I not only like to create it, but also to accompany it visually - I mount the video on my tracks, my work can be evaluated on my channel on YouTube, and one famous director even appreciated my efforts! I'm not interested in just playing at events, just do it for the sake of money. This is more, this is the soul - therefore, I am DJ Benzina. Do you remember when you first got up for the "turntables"?
You can't forget this! It was terrible, it was a failure. I even destroyed all the photos myself! Well, why didn’t anyone tell me that I looked terrible: a pink mesh, a cap, a skirt in peas ... a nightmare! Yes, and the tracks did not work impeccably, and I am madly glad that then there were no modern gadgets as smartphones and tablet computers and no one shot me! Especially now, when I teach music myself, I don’t understand how people looked at it, because this is a great example, how you don’t have to look on stage, play and behave!
I study and teach my mistakes! In your interviews, you say that first they come to see you, and then listen, is that so? During the game, I give so much energy that it seems to people that this is a show.Previously, it was like this: I could go out for the "turntables" and raise my leg into the twine, or "trousers turn into shorts", and the dress - into a T -shirt.
Now I play vinyl, there is a reduction and there is also additional equipment for effects, there is a drive in music. And for the show, I can only bring either the girls who dance, or additional musicians. That is, my speeches are not just the music you hear, this is the music that you are watching. And one more phrase about you: "I hold the hall to the last plate." Oh, I was dismantled for winged phrases!
I really love creative people, people who are endowed with talent who are not afraid to learn and do their job well, so I always supported young talents! At what point did you feel in demand? Yes, literally right away, as was born. I always said that I was a star. If my interviews are read by parents who have small children, I would like to give them advice: always raise self -esteem to your children, especially girls, but do not pamper.
Believe me, I had such a life, far and very far from spoiled. And God forbid to live like that for children! We need to do everything in moderation, and regardless of the prosperity of the family, the child must be confident in himself! For example, I “treated” my deuces at school as follows: “And let me prepare you a scene for the event today, and you will put me the top three.” And the teachers agreed, because the rest of the children were shy, and I always made scenes, I always danced some kind of “rocking wheel”.
Or be a dog in a “mu-mu”: you put on a earflaps and begin to yap. And after that in my city I became the first GO-Go dancer, it was then wild and even somewhere shameful. Let my costumes be sewn from the brilliant curtains of my mother’s friend, but I went on stage like a superstar! Your popularity gave you a chance to work with Russian show business stars.
Can you list them? I worked with many stars, but I can’t list them all now. The modeling business introduced me to Zverev, Kirkorov. By the way, it was Philip, in whose video I starred in St. Petersburg, and this work then grew into friendship, who said to me: “You look at yourself. You need to go to Moscow! He saw my car with numbers and was in shock, and when he saw not a crazy punk at the wheel, but a curly gubast blonde, stopped moving and asked me: “Girl, why do you need this?
So - the right time, the right place. Then we met Yulenka Takoshina, with whom they created a show, then met with a wonderful DJ Pimenov, with him we had a project-DJ Benzina, and despite the fact that we did not part very well-I respect him very much and is grateful for everything! In general, the ability to appreciate people, to protect memory and be grateful is a very important quality both in life and in a career.
Did you also work with Western stars? I worked a little, and it was an excellent experience! Does the western level of work differ from the domestic? It differs very strongly. No, we have very talented people, but competition is dirty. When I was at the peak of popularity, they promised to break my fingers, hackers break sites, remove broadcasts from the radio, say nasty things in the press ...
But I am strong, I have achieved everything myself, no one will move me, because I am confident in myself and will never fall out to this! As for foreign stars, well, mind you, at least one there will say something bad about ours? Yes, no one will say anything, even among themselves, it is a level, it is a culture. Which team of people surrounded you? Who needs it to succeed?
People are very important. The periods of my work were very different, they say that my friends are known in trouble and, when my careers began to interfere with actively, I gathered several people who did not betray me who stayed with me and said to them: “Guys, I have nothing now, I can not pay you, neither money, nor performances, nor broadcasts, but you can’t give up my hands! I have music, turntables and a lot of creative ideas!
Therefore, you need to create a site and try to get to your feet again! Just like that, just people with a capital letter! The first concert after the “fall” was in Omsk, thanks to this city! We had nothing: no seals, nor contracts, and they took a chance and the enormous money at that time transferred the money almost to nowhere with the words “We want DJ Benzina!
She is loved and waited here!
