Presentation
Sergey Lazarev, born on April 1, 1983, in Moscow, Russia, is a singer, actor, and television personality best known for his dynamic stage presence, strong vocals, and wide appeal across Russian-speaking countries and beyond. He began performing as a child, joining a children's musical group and studying theatre and music. His early talent led him to formal training at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, which laid the foundation for his dual career in both music and acting.
He first rose to fame in the early 2000s as one half of the pop duo Smash!!, alongside Vlad Topalov. The group quickly became a sensation in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe, releasing chart-topping hits and gaining a devoted fanbase. After the duo split in 2006, Lazarev launched a solo career that proved even more successful, blending Western-style pop with high-energy performances and emotional ballads.
His solo debut album, Don’t Be Fake, marked the beginning of a new phase in his career, followed by a string of successful albums sung in both Russian and English. Known for his strong vocal range and polished visuals, he built a reputation for theatrical, high-concept live shows. His music ranges from dance-pop to power ballads, often exploring themes of love, longing, and personal struggle.
Sergey gained international recognition through his participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, representing Russia in 2016 with the song “You Are the Only One.” His performance, which combined powerful vocals with groundbreaking visual staging, earned him third place and made him a fan favorite across Europe. He returned to Eurovision in 2019 with “Scream,” another vocally demanding entry, and once again finished in the top three, solidifying his status as one of Russia’s most prominent and consistent musical ambassadors on the global stage.
In addition to his music career, Lazarev has worked extensively in theatre, voice acting, and television. He has starred in major Russian stage productions and lent his voice to animated films, while also appearing as a judge on talent shows and participating in reality competitions. Known for his professionalism, charisma, and dedication to his craft, he has received numerous awards for both his musical and acting achievements.
Despite his public profile, Lazarev has kept his personal life relatively private. In recent years, he has opened up about fatherhood, sharing his experiences raising two children, which added another dimension to his public image as both a performer and a parent.
Sergey Lazarev’s longevity in the entertainment industry is rooted in his ability to evolve while remaining true to his artistic identity. With a career that spans more than two decades, he continues to be one of Russia’s most respected and versatile performers, admired for his talent, work ethic, and connection with audiences at home and abroad.
