So, before you is a short biography of Timur Yunusov.

Biography Timati

Timati was born on August 15, 1983 in Moscow. He grew up in a Jewish-Tatar family of businessman Ildar Vakhitovich and Simona Yakovlevna. In addition to him, the boy Artem was brought up in the Yunusov family.

Childhood and youth

The childhood of the future artist was rich and wealthy. According to Timati himself, his parents were very wealthy people, and therefore he and his brother did not need anything.

However, despite the fact that the family was rich, the father taught his sons to achieve everything themselves, and not depend on someone. At an early age, Timati began to show creative inclinations. As a result, the boy was sent to a music school to study violin.

Over time, the young man became interested in break dance, which at that time was overwhelmingly popular among young people. Soon, together with a friend, he founded the rap group "VIP77".

After graduating from school, Timati successfully passed the exams at the Higher School of Economics, but studied there for only one semester.

As a teenager, at the insistence of his father, he flew to Los Angeles for an education. However, unlike music, studies were of little interest to him.

Music

At the age of 21, Timati became a member of the musical television project "Star Factory 4". Thanks to this, he gained all-Russian popularity, since the whole country watched this show.

During this period of his biography, Timati formed a new group "Banda". Nevertheless, none of the members of the newly formed team managed to win the project. But this did not stop the young artist, as a result of which he began to look for new ways for self-realization.

In 2006, the rapper's debut solo album "Black Star" was released. At the same time, the premiere of Timati's video in a duet with Alexa for the song "When you are near" took place. Having received recognition from his compatriots, he decided to open a production center - "Black Star Inc.".

Around the same time, Timati announced the opening of his Black club nightclub. In 2007, the singer first appeared on stage with a solo program. As a result, he became one of the most sought-after young artists on the domestic stage.

In the same year, Timati performed joint songs with such performers as Fat Joe, Nox and Xzibit. He continued to shoot music videos featuring various celebrities. For example, in the video clip "Dance" the fans saw him in a duet with Ksenia Sobchak.

In 2007 Timati was recognized as the best R'n'B performer by the World Fashion Awards. A year later, he received the "Golden Gramophone" for the song in a duet with DJ Smash "I love you ...". An interesting fact is that a year later this duet will again receive the Golden Gramophone for the track Moscow Never Sleeps.

From 2009 to 2013 Timati released 3 more albums: "The Boss", "SWAGG" and "13". In 2013, he, together with Grigory Leps, won the Golden Gramophone award for the hit London, which still remains popular. It is curious that initially no one could even believe in the success of such an unusual duet.

After that, Timothy continued to perform compositions with various rappers and pop singers. An interesting fact is that the world famous rapper Snoop Dogg took part in the filming of the Odnoklassniki.ru video.

In 2016, the 5th studio album of the musician "Olympus" was released, in which many Russian performers participated. Then he went on a tour of the country with the program "Olymp Tour". From 2017 to 2019, he performed with the new music program Generation.

By that time, Timati had become a nominee for the Muz-TV award in the category "Best performer". In addition to performing on stage, he starred in commercials, and also acted as a participant and jury member in various television projects.

In 2014, Timati was in the judging team of the TV show "I Want to Meladze", and 4 years later he acted as a mentor of the show "Songs". As a result, 3 members of the rapper's team - Terry, DanyMuse and Nazim Dzhanibekov became part of the Black Star. In 2019, the winner of the TV project was again the musician's ward - Slame, who soon joined Black Star.

It is worth noting that Timati managed to appear in about 20 films, among which the most popular were "Heat", Hitler Kaput! " and Mafia. He also repeatedly voiced foreign films and was the performer of several audiobooks.

Personal life

At the "Star Factory" Timati began a close relationship with Alex. The press wrote that there were no real feelings between the manufacturers, and their romance was nothing more than a PR action. Be that as it may, the artists often spent time together.

After breaking up with Alexa in 2007, Timati met with many girls. He was “married” to Masha Malinovskaya, Victoria Bona, Sofia Rudyeva and Mila Volchek. In 2012, the guy began courting Alena Shishkova, who did not immediately want to date the rapper.

Two years later, the couple had a girl named Alice. However, the birth of a child could not save Timati and Alena from parting. A few months later, the man had a new darling, model and vice-miss of Russia 2014 named Anastasia Reshetova.

The consequence of their relationship was the birth of a boy Ratmir. However, this time, it never came to a wedding. In the fall of 2020, it became known about the separation of the singer with Anastasia.

Timati today

In the spring of 2019, Yegor Creed and Levan Gorozia left Black Star, and in the summer of next year Timati himself announced his departure from the project. At the same time, a joint video clip of Timati and Guf, dedicated to Moscow, was shot. An interesting fact is that the video on YouTube has a record 1.5 million dislikes for the Russian segment!

The listeners accused the musicians of the corruption of the authorities, in particular, for the phrases in the song: “I don’t go to rallies and I don’t rub the game” and “I’ll slap a burger for Sobyanin’s health”. After about a week, the clip was removed. It is worth noting that the rappers stated that no one from the Moscow mayor's office "ordered them."

Timati has an Instagram account, where he regularly uploads fresh photos and videos. By 2020, about 16 million people have subscribed to his page.
