About Nikolai Noskov
Nikolai Ivanovich Noskov (Russian: Николай Иванович Носков; born 12 January 1956) is a Russian singer and former vocalist of the hard rock band Gorky Park (between 1987 and 1990). He is a five-time winner of the Golden Gramophone Award. He was also a member of the Москва (Moscow) ensemble in the early 1980s, the band Гран-при (Grand Prix) in 1988 just before joining Gorky Park, and much later the band Николай (Nikolai) in the 1990s. Starting 1998, Noskov had a solo career releasing six solo albums. In 2015, he served as a jury in second season of the reality TV series Glavnaya Stsena. Noskov's boyhood gave him his first musical impressions, mainly from folk music played on traditional Russian instruments or sung by his mother. Importantly though, this was Noskov's first experience with professional studio work, led by Tukhmanov. His English was then undeveloped, and Nikolai simply transcribed what he heard on the original recording, transcribed it in Cyrillic letters. He was also a member of the Москва (Moscow) ensemble in the early 1980s, the band Гран-при in 1988 just before joining Gorky Park, and much later the band Николай (Nikolai) in the 1990s.
