Each artist chooses his own creative path himself. Some, for example, prefer to hide their faces to the last, giving free rein to the listeners' imaginations. Others rely solely on vocal abilities, without drawing much attention to appearance.
And someone consciously follows the cult of the body and sexuality, not hesitating to demonstrate this at every opportunity. In the latter, the Ukrainian girlish duo succeeded, and then the NikitA trio.
Creation history and composition
Producer Yuri Nikitin decided to show the world another group performing simple pop compositions, who promoted and introduced the public at one time to the performers and the project.
In 2007, at his invitation, she participated in the Ukrainian "Star Factory", but did not win. The master did not dare to leave the bright girl of musical affairs even after the show, enticing Yulia Kavtaradze from "A.R.M.II." into a separate team based on Mamamusic. This is the history of the creation of "Nikita" in brief.
The female-male name was invented by Daria - in honor of the founding father by his last name, who at first resisted such attention to his person, but later, of course, surrendered to the mercy of the seducers.
“Initially I was against the name NikitA, but then I realized that it has a background. Nikita is a secret agent, a strong and sexy woman, but at the same time kind and feminine. Yulia and Dasha are just like that in life, ”the man once shared in an interview.
Music
The girls made a splash with their debut single - "Mashina" started up with a half-turn and started the audience, becoming the most downloaded track in 2008. Further - more: the soloists were awarded the honorary title "Discovery of the Year", and the popular gloss Cosmo appreciated their style at the highest level. Nikita sealed its success with the first collection.
Song "Machine" of the group "NikitA"In the same 2009, the video released for the song "Rope" provoked a violent reaction from the public and was placed in the night rotation on TV channels marked 18+. Indeed, in it the ladies appear before the viewer in absolute negligee.
The duo themselves considered the situation with the ban amusing, concisely arguing that they did not recognize any boundaries. They say that if you want to go out naked for bread, then you don't have to wear underwear and slippers and drive yourself into the proposed framework.
The song "Rope" by the group "NikitA"They continued to develop the stated theme in the next video for the single "Soldier", reincarnated as strip dancers at the pole. By the way, you can also see a poster of Sobieski there, in the advertising campaign of which the vocalists also participated. At the same time, they confidently passed the stages of selection for Eurovision, but in the end, Daria was invited to another project, and the storming of the competition did not take place.
However, it's not the first time for Astafyeva to demonstrate her body in front of cameras and connoisseurs without clothes. In this she succeeded in the Ukrainian and American Playboy, even having a tender, but exclusively platonic relationship with. In 2010, already in full force "Nikita" went to his private party.
The next year, there were changes: Anastasia Kumeiko took the place of Yulia. The couple released "20:12" and with the arrival of Yulia Brichkovskaya expanded to a trio. Without changing the chosen role, the girls collaborated like this for the next 5 years.
In general, in the group's collection, perhaps each clip sounded like a provocation and a challenge. "Bite", "Breathe", "Avocado" and others are equipped with readable Freudian symbols and constant references to adult topics. And the video “Do” on the track from the second Youtube album, “embarrassed”, decided to eliminate it from sin and debauchery.
The song "Breathe" by the group "NikitA"In 2016, Daria remains the only vocalist, which is reflected in the new name - Dasha Astafieva & NIKITA, where Tonya Chumak and Alisa Trembitskaya were responsible for the dances. The single "Nesmelaya" was recorded, and a famous clip-maker was involved in creating a video for it.
Fans, accustomed to a too frank plot and its embodiment, were somewhat upset with the work, to which the singer said:
“Our viewer is used to some horror, freaks, pop orientation in our culture, but some completely sincere manifestations ... You can see that I do not look so glamorous, I have a minimum of makeup. Real ".Song "Shy" by the group "NikitA"
The soloist's unexpected modesty was rumored to have been facilitated by happy changes in her personal life. In April 2017, she announced the beginning of a solo career, however, starting her own project only in June. Over the years of its existence, the collective has been awarded 6 musical nominations, winning exactly half of them.
NikitA now
NikitA is currently casting participants, everyone can contact the team's social networks, find an email address and send an application.
“NikitA will now be in a completely different, new format. She is now going through a period of transformation. I would like to invite such people here who will be able to fully reflect my ideas about the philosophy of Nikita, ”said producer Nikitin.
The former members are now busy with their own projects. Astafieva is developing as an independent singer: in 2018, two of her songs - "Asta la Vista" and Fetish, were released. She also continues to reveal her acting role. The premiere of "Producer" and "Swingers - 2" is scheduled for 2019.
Julia Brichkovskaya, now Julia Bry, lives in Los Angeles and both personally performs music and collaborates with other groups.
Anastasia Kumeiko became known under the pseudonym DJ Nana, on November 1, 2018, she presented another video for "Attraction". Yulia Kavtaradze is now far from concert activity, she moved into a model and launched a clothing line, a link to which is posted on her Instagram profile.
By the way, the ability of the NikitA group to create erotic photo sessions was developed by the girls individually. Their hot pictures are often published both in various publications and on personal accounts on social networks.

Without songs and clips of singer Nikita, it is already difficult to imagine the Russian stage of the early 2000s. The compositions of this artist sounded on the air of all radio stations, and not a single holiday concert was complete without his participation. Unfortunately, after breaking off cooperation with the producer, Nikita did not manage to maintain popularity, however, the singer's fans are still confident that the artist will conquer the top of the charts with new compositions more than once.
Childhood and youth
Alexey Fokin - this is the singer's passport name - was born on February 20, 1975 in the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk. The boy's parents had nothing to do with creativity, but they happily supported their son's talents. So, already at the age of 6, Alexei began to study accordion at a music school.
As the singer later admitted in an interview, the music captured his imagination so much that any difficulties seemed insignificant. Alexey even graduated from a music school three years earlier than expected, as an external student. And already at the age of 12, Fokine became the legend of his native town thanks to his constant participation in local concerts.
Two years later, the young man was invited to play in one of the professional ensembles of the city, and at the age of 15 Alexey first appeared on the central TV channel: the young man took part in the "Morning Star" program, where he was awarded the title of the best performer.
Music
As a teenager, Alexei Fokin decided to associate his further biography with music. After graduating from school, the young man went to Moscow, where he easily entered the legendary Gnessin School. In parallel with his studies, the young man constantly participated in all kinds of casting and selection, hoping to find a producer. There are even rumors in the press that Alexei could become one of the team members.
Unfortunately, the singer never managed to find a job in the capital, and after graduating from "Gnesinka" the young man went to conquer St. Petersburg. This decision turned out to be correct: in the city on the Neva, Alexey quickly found friends-musicians, and after a while he met Yevgeny Rudin, known as (DJ Groove), and musician Oleg Korovin.
New friends helped Alexei record the first song, as well as radically change both his image and name: this is how the singer Nikita appeared. Soon the artist's debut song "Flew Forever" was already heard on all radio stations, and Nikita, along with DJ Groove, went to Moscow, where the musical material was presented to the eminent producer Yuri Aizenshpis. He, being a professional, immediately saw serious potential in Nikita and agreed to start promoting the singer.
Nikita - "Flew away forever"In 1999, Nikita's debut disc, "Flew Forever," was released, which for several weeks topped the ratings of the best-selling albums. And two years later, the performer's discography was replenished with another disc, which was called "In your love, I will drown." It seemed that Nikita's popularity would only gain momentum, but in 2002 the singer broke off his contract with Yuri Aizenshpis. According to rumors, the reason for this was creative differences.
After Nikita went on an independent "voyage", fans for a while did not hear any news about the idol. Only in 2004, the singer presented to the public the disc "So Strange", which, unfortunately, failed to repeat the success of Nikita's previous albums.
Nikita's song "No or Yes"This failure made the singer think seriously about his own style. As Nikita later confessed in an interview, it was at that moment that he thought that it was time to grow up and change his lifestyle. In order to streamline thoughts and come to harmony with himself, the singer decided to take a sabbatical. Nikita moved to Europe for a whole year and for some time stopped communicating with the usual "get-together".
Finally, in 2007, Nikita released another album. The track list of the album "Nikita: The Best" includes the already known hits of the singer, performed in a new style and received a new arrangement.
In addition, Nikita prepared two new songs, one of which he performed in a duet with. Immediately after the release of this disc, the artist went on a large-scale tour and in a year and a half traveled both Russia and many foreign countries.
After returning from the tour, the singer began work on the following compositions, which, according to Nikita, turned out to be personal and sincere. According to the singer, most of the songs are a reflection of his thoughts and feelings, fans only need to hear it.
Nikita and Danya Danilevsky at the Star Factory projectSince then, Nikita has no longer disappeared for a long time from the musical horizon, periodically delighting fans with new records and performances. In addition to music, the artist became interested in fashion and even took part in creating a collection of stylish accessories.
In 2017, Nikita performed on the Star Factory project together with the manufacturer. The performers chose the proven hit “Once Upon a Time” and received sincere applause from the audience.
Personal life
As a performer and artist, Nikita is completely open and frank with fans, but the singer prefers to keep the details of his personal life secret.
This isolation makes fans and journalists speculate about whether the artist has a wife and children. Rumors about the performer's gay orientation also appeared in the press, but Nikita is true to himself and does not comment on anything at all regarding matters of the heart.
Nikita now
In 2018, the artist's photos again appeared on the pages of news publications, as well as on Instagram and other social networks.
The reason was the program "Hello, Andrey", in which Nikita took part together with the stars of the early 2000s: the singer, and other idols of that time. Judging by the reaction of the audience, these performers still enjoy the love of the audience.
Now fans are looking forward to Nikita's new songs and videos, but the singer is in no hurry to reveal his immediate plans.

Two sexy aggressive girls, ready to show all the charms of their body and voice, Dasha Astafieva and Yulia Kavtaradze, became members of the completely new group NikitA.
The day of March 31 became symbolic for the duo, because not only the shooting of the first video for the song "Mashina" took place, but also the rotation of the same debut song on Ukrainian radio stations. Yuri Nikitin, producer of NikitA, called it "the group's premiere"
The duet was created rather problematic and "painful" for Nikitin: it took a long time to choose the composition, and the name of the group changed several times, and the songs were planned completely different. But everything was resolved, now we will see two participants instead of three, a completely new sound and not very pleasant for the producer name. Initially, the group was called "Sirens", then - Divas, but by the joint efforts of Dasha and Yulia, the group was named NikitA. The fact is that the girls among themselves call the producer that way. At first he was against such a name for the band, explaining that he is a modest man, does not want to show himself off, but a little later Yura "caught the second plan: after all, Nikita is a super agent, a strong, strong-willed, progressive, modern image."
Dasha Astafyeva, ex-"manufacturer", was "selected" by Yuri even before the project. But "Fabrika" is not the only thing that made Dasha famous: she also managed to appear in several erotic photo shoots and became the Playmate of the "Playboy Ukraine" magazine. Astafieva is very proud of this: “Playmate of the Year is an achievement for me, because a trip is planned where I can show Ukraine at the global Playmate competition. Photos are a very big part of my life, I don't see anything shameful in erotic photos, because if a woman has beauty, then she shouldn't, she just has no right to hide it. The most important thing is the thoughts with which this is done: I do not sell myself, I do not sell my body, I have upbringing and moral principles. I like doing this, and if I can please any audience with my body, my beauty, then why not ”. What can I say, Dasha's beauty is simply undeniable
The second "half" of NikitA, Yulia Kavtaradze, is a former member of "ARMIII", who left the group in the last months of pregnancy. After giving birth, Julia returned to Nikitin's new team, since the birth of her daughter changed her a lot: “I have matured both morally and sexually, I learned to feel my body better, because this group is closer to me, this is mine; I feel that the concept of the project, its music and lyrics are fully consistent with my current state. " The girl looks very good after pregnancy, which is helped by a healthy diet, light gymnastics and the fact that she has been involved in sports since childhood.
The first video of the group is filmed by director Alexander Filatovich, it is not the first time that Nikitin's team has worked with him. The clip is rather peculiar, without decorations, one might even say, technical. There will be no car in it, because it would be too predictable, so there will be motorcycles, fire extinguishers, cans of water Dasha and Julia will appear before us in three sexy images: in tight overalls, which are worn without underwear, on a naked body; in riders' suits NikitA saddles motorcycles; and the most delightful and shocking will be the last outfit, short leather shorts, iron tails and an almost naked chest. All this fully reveals the participants: “Our tough image is a reflection of any woman, each has such a trait; our costumes are an expression of toughness, a manifestation of character. "
The song tells about love, but from the "technical" point of view; about a trip around the city with a loved one: "how beautifully he drives a car", about comparing himself with this car: "all my devices listen to you." The song is very incendiary, bright, danceable, a little house-style, which doesn't really allow you to hear the vocals.
NikitA is not like any group with which mamamusic works, because the group is designed for the attention of a male audience, for Nikitin girls are sex machines, so the stake in all this is made precisely on appearance
Nikita is a group that has taken its place in the Russian show business. Sexy and outrageous girls never cease to delight fans with their incendiary songs and candid clips. Do you want to know the names of the soloists of the group? Are you interested in the history of the creation of the team? Now we will tell you about everything.
how it all began
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a girlish duet belongs to the famous Ukrainian producer Yuri Nikitin. In 2006, at one of the social events, he met a beauty. At that time, the girl was already known as a model and a participant in many television projects. Nikitin invited her to try herself as a singer.
Nikita group was founded in 2008. Julia Kavtaradze became the second soloist. Songs and costumes for the girls were prepared. All that remained was to come up with several options. As a result, Yulia, Dasha and Yuri decided that the group would be called "Nikita" (with an emphasis on the last syllable).
Career development
In 2009, the band's debut album, Mashina, was released. A few weeks later, the video of the same name was presented. The video, in which two beauties in tight suits show the wonders of acrobatics, gained incredible popularity.
Soon another video for the song "Rope" followed. It turned out to be even more frank than the previous one. Julia and Dasha were naked. Their intimate places were covered only by black rectangles, which on TV indicate censorship.
In 2010, the Nikita group (see photo above) went on a tour of the cities of Ukraine and Russia. Everywhere the girls were greeted with a bang. So, we talked about the creation and activities of the team. Now let's take a quick look at the biographies of the soloists.

Childhood and adolescence of Dasha Astafieva
The future singer and model was born in a small town called Ordzhonikidze (Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine). Her family was the most ordinary - her father worked on the local railway, and her mother worked in a greenhouse complex. As Dasha herself recalls, at an early age she was a typical “ugly duckling”. Her face was covered with an allergic rash, and the proportions of her figure made her think about whether the girl was eating well. Due to her expressionless appearance and not the most exemplary standards of behavior, she was an outcast at school. She was disliked by her peers, and teachers often gave her poor grades.Some changes in her life occurred only in her youth. During this period, the future model began to actively attend various circles and sections. The favorite hobbies of the future diva of the Ukrainian stage were acrobatics, drawing, dancing, and also ... carpet weaving.
Dasha Astafieva's first steps on stage
After graduating from school, Dasha applied to the Dnepropetrovsk School of Culture, where she began to study directing. In parallel with her studies, the girl also actively attended vocal lessons. And soon this enthusiasm bore fruit.Having moved to Kiev at the beginning of the 2000s, Dasha Astafieva very soon met the famous Ukrainian producer Yuri Nikitin. Their communication dragged on, and some time later the recognized master invited the young girl to participate in the upcoming project "Star Factory".
The sensational television show was a real breakthrough for Daria. All of Ukraine started talking about the pretty beauty. Very soon, other CIS countries learned about the girl.
In 2008, the girl became part of the NikitA group, presenting the audience with a number of sexy and provocative images. Initially, the collective was represented by only two participants (Daria Astafieva and Yulia Kavtaradze). However, subsequently, the composition of the group changed twice, and at present it is a trio of performers (in addition to Daria, the composition of the project includes Anastasia Kumeiko and Yulia Brichkovskaya).
In March 2009 NikitA presented its first debut album - "Machine" to the Ukrainian audience. In the same period, the team appeared at the national Ukrainian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, but the group's performance at it never took place due to the participation of Dasha Astafieva in the American TV project Girls Next Door.
In 2011, Astafieva, together with the then group partner Nastya Kumeiko, became a laureate of the Golden Gramophone award. This award was not the first serious success of the team. In 2008, the project received the Showmania program award in the Discovery of the Year nomination. A year later, Cosmopolitan magazine nominated the performers to the first place in the rating of "The Most Stylish Singers of Ukraine".
To date, the NikitA group has recorded one studio album, and is also preparing to release a second disc.
Astafieva's career outside the music industry
From her earliest years, Dasha was a bright and versatile person. At the age of 16, she took part in a beauty contest held in Dnepropetrovsk. From that moment on, the girl always cherished the dream of becoming a professional model.Having become a member of the NikitA collective, the girl was noted in several erotic photo shoots for a number of men's magazines. In April 2006, Astafieva was awarded the Playmate of the Month title by Playboy magazine. A year later, the legendary publication named the imposing Ukrainian woman the girl of the year.
In 2008, the founder of the magazine, the legendary Hugh Hefner, also noted the singer's talents, who invited Astafieva, along with the NikitA team, to perform at a private party in Las Vegas.

In addition to her modeling career, Daria has repeatedly made attempts to realize herself as a TV presenter. Over the years, she acted as a presenter on many Ukrainian TV channels, where she hosted the programs "Kino" (channel "Tonis") and "Weather" (M1).In February 2010, Dasha surprised everyone by appearing in front of the audience in the form of a professional actress. Her short role in the film "Lovers in Kiev" (analogous to "Paris, I love you") was noted by many experts and critics. After that, Dasha Astafieva also performed small roles in the films "What Men Do!" and Island of Luck.
Personal life of Dasha Astafieva
The first serious novel by Dasha Astafieva happened back in school, when the girl was seventeen years old. According to the singer herself, the relationship with that guy lasted more than seven years, however, in the end, they broke up due to the desire of Daria's chosen one to control any of her steps.After the girl became famous and popular, rumors about various novels and intrigues of the model began to appear in the press with enviable constancy. So, she was credited with an affair with producer Yuri Nikitin, as well as the famous Russian actor Igor Vernik, with whom the singer performed on the Zirka + Zirka project. However, both of these reports ultimately proved to be unfounded.

The next "media choice" of the model was the famous ladies' man Hugh Heffner, with whom Dasha often appeared together in public and to whom she often confessed her love in public. But, like all previous rumors, such reports have not received any real confirmation.
“I appreciate my freedom,” Dasha laughed off, answering the questions of numerous paparazzi, indirectly confirming the words of friends and girlfriends that the relationship with the same school elect to this day is the last serious romance in the life of a sexy Ukrainian singer.
