The Russian pop group "M-Band", which includes three handsome young people, was organized by the famous music producer Konstantin Meladze. The team officially announced its creation in November 2014, immediately after the final of the show “I want to go to Meladze”, where they performed brilliantly. The team's first single, “She Will Return,” became one of the most popular songs in Russia in 2015.

Birth of the group

I owe my birth television show group "M-Band". The composition of the team was initially as follows: Anatoly Tsoi, Artem Pindyura, Nikita Kiosse and Vladislav Ramm. In 2014, these four young people took part in a casting for guys from the CIS countries. The premiere of the new competition “I want to go to Meladze” simultaneously started in several countries. In Russia it was broadcast by NTV, in Belarus by ONT, and in Kazakhstan by Channel Seven.

At first, the participants in the television project were selected by members of the jury, chaired by Konstantin Meladze himself. The judges also included: Anna Sedokova, Sergey Lazarev, Polina Gagarina, Timati, Vladimir Presnyakov and Eva Polna.

In the decisive round, when only two teams remained, the winner was chosen by television viewers. The M-Band group won in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Russia. The composition of the participants received fewer votes than opponents only in Belarus. But according to the final results, I was the first.

History of the team

The M-Band group, whose lineup was finally formed by the end of 2014, presented its debut single just before the New Year. It was the song "She'll Come Back." It was with this song that the team performed at the final of the show “I want to go to Meladze”. The melody for it was written by the producer and founder of the project himself, and the co-author of the words was one of the group members, Artem Pindyura.

At the same time, a video clip was recorded, which collected about 10 million views in 5 months. And in the Golden Gramophone hit parade, the song stayed at the top line for two weeks.

The first large-scale performance before the public took place in 2015, on Valentine's Day. After this, the team began a busy tour.

The second single was released in May 2015. It was called "Gimme". And the group was recognized as the musical breakthrough of the year at the prestigious festival. “M-Band” also made it to the final of a similar nomination at the “Muz-TV” awards, but it was not awarded first place.

In the summer of 2015, the group presented their video “Look at Me” on the music channel RU.TV. The producer himself took part in the filming - Konstantin Meladze, who played the role of a gardener.

Already in 2016, the group recorded two albums in the studio - “Acoustics” and “No Filters”.

"Fix everything"

The musical group earned fame and popularity and in an original way. In 2016, the film “Fix It” was released, in which members of the boy band played the leading roles.

According to the plot, the youth group "M-Band", the composition of which was decorated with photos music magazines, finds himself in a difficult situation. The court makes a decision not in favor of the team - they are obliged to pay a huge fine to the pop star in the near future. If this is not done, then all rights to the group will be transferred to him. The role of the star went to Nikolai Baskov.

In order to find money, the boy band agrees to carry out a dubious assignment from a big businessman who is trying to separate his daughter from a guy who, in his opinion, is not a match for her.

In 2016, the group recorded the official single for this film. The director was Anton Kalinkin. According to his plan, the film was aimed at viewers aged 10-16 years. A light, romantic film with familiar idols to young people. That's how this comedy came about.

It grossed just over $250,000 at the box office.

Nikita Kiosse

The youngest member of the boy band is Nikita Kiosse. He is 18 years old, he is from Ryazan. Despite his young age, he has already managed to take part in such prestigious competitions as Junior Eurovision and Junior New Wave. In Ukraine, he was selected for the TV show “The Voice. Children”.

Nikita himself admits: when he found himself at the casting, he could not even imagine that he would ultimately work with one of the best music producers in the country. During the three months during which the show took place, he found real friends and colleagues.

Nikita is a real sex symbol for young girls who simply idolize him. The young man notes: his heart is now free, but his life priorities at this stage are set in such a way that his career comes first.

Vladislav Ramm

Vladislav Ramm is another member of the M-Band. The composition of the group and the biography of the handsome brunette are of interest to hundreds of fans today. At first it was impossible to imagine the team without him.

He was born in Kemerovo. On the show “I want to go to Meladze” he came up with perhaps the most spectacular appearance for himself. He jumped from the roof of the film set, holding balloons and a bouquet of flowers. In such an original way, he confessed his feelings for one of the stars of the project - Vera Brezhneva. True, on the same day he once again shocked the audience by admitting that he was already married. At that time, the young musician was only 18 years old.

In order to devote himself entirely to creativity and music, Vlad had to leave his wife. After that, he completely focused on work. His whole life consists of concerts, tours, recordings and filming.

Artem Pindyura

Artem Pindyura is a Ukrainian member of the M-Band group. The composition of the group, the biography of the participants - this is what primarily interests all his fans.

Artem is older than his colleagues, and was previously known in certain circles as a hip-hop singer nicknamed Kid. This affected the blind audition when he decided to rap, which played a role. Timati, who was on the jury, gave him his vote. And in the future he became his personal mentor. However, ultimately the performer ended up on Sergei Lazarev’s team, with whom he won.

Like other members of the team, he had romantic relationship. However, I had to break up with the girl with whom it almost came to marriage. She did not support her boyfriend in her creativity

Anatoly Tsoi

Anatoly Tsoi is the oldest member of the team. Now he is 27 years old. He is Kazakh, originally from Almaty. He began performing at corporate events and holidays at the age of 14. He has a bronze medal from the Delphic Games (in them, unlike the Olympics, participants compete in creative talents) in nomination " Pop vocals". At the casting, he conquered the judges not only with his vocals, but also with his fiery dance.

In Lazarev's team, he, like Artem Pindyura, found himself just before the final. Before that I studied with Anna Sedokova. He is the most experienced member of the group - both musically and in life.

New line-up

In November 2015, it became known that one of the participants left the boy band. The M-Band group lost Vladislav Ramm. The composition was changed at the initiative of producer Konstantin Meladze. According to him, the reason was the artist’s professional incompetence.

As Konstantin Meladze noted, the decision to part with Vladislav was not only his personal one. The rest of the group had the same opinion. At the same time, the producer noted that the musician will not be able to start a solo career until at least 2021. Until this time, a contract has been concluded, according to which Ramm will be obliged to work at the Meladze production center.

The new composition of the M-Band group, already without Vladislav Ramm, is preparing for new performances, tours and recordings of new albums.

In the spring of 2014, the attention of television viewers was focused on the new project of music producer Konstantin Meladze. As part of the TV show “I want to go to Meladze,” a casting was announced for a boy band: a classic “boy” group with several participants. It was important not only to assemble a band, but also to achieve their unique sound. A strict jury, which included , and , was responsible for selecting candidates. As a result, the ending of the show was determined audience voting- the clear winner was the project of four guys - MBAND. By the end of December, the group released their debut video “She'll Be Back” - the song hit the top of the charts.

The team’s first concert was symbolic - on February 14, MBAND performed at the “Big Love Show”, organized by Love Radio. Already in March, Meladze produced the guys’ new single “Give Me” - the work received powerful feedback from listeners and two nominations at the Kids Choice Awards and the Ru Tv channel.

M-Band includes:

Nikita Kiosse is the youngest member of the group, 16 years old. He was born in Ryazan and, despite his young age, can already boast of experience performing on the show “The Voice” and “Junior Eurovision”. As a result, Nikita made a decision and successfully passed the casting for the show with Meladze. His teacher, mentor and, concurrently, idol is Sergei Lazarev. There is no girlfriend: according to Nikita, for now he is prioritizing what he loves, but at the same time he is open to new acquaintances.

Vladislav Ramm is originally from Kemerovo. At the age of 18, he managed to shock the public with his romantic and reckless act: a declaration of love to Vera Brezhneva. To achieve this, Vlad effectively jumped from the roof with a bunch of balloons during filming. Vlad later stated that he was married: after a recent divorce, the decision was made to seriously pursue music and a career.

Artyom Pindyura is a 24-year-old native of Kyiv, formerly known as the rapper Kid. He bribed the jury with his reading, gaining Timati’s favor, but in the end he ended up on Sergei Lazarev’s team. To participate in Meladze’s project, Artyom had to sacrifice his personal life and break up with his girlfriend, who did not approve of the creative plans of the young microphone master. He says about himself that he loved working in an established team, as a player, part of a team.

Anatoly Tsoi is the eldest and most experienced MBAND participant, 25 years old. He began his journey by performing at corporate events, took third place at the second Delphic Games as a vocalist, and was eventually invited to join Anna Sedokova’s team, with whom he worked well together during the show. However, closer to the finals he was transferred to Lazarev. He considers participation in the group to be his most ambitious project.

MBAND's plans at the moment are global - the guys want to become a “cult” group, but for now they continue to perform, conquer the charts and work on new material.

In 2014, young unknown performers became the winners of a television talent search project. This victory brought wild popularity to the singers. Members of one of the most successful boy bands recent years– “MBAND” groups - collect complete concert halls, record albums and even star in a film - in general, they are at the peak of their musical career in show business.

Composition of MBAND

In 2014, successful Russian producer Konstantin Meladze decides to organize and promote a new boy band. In order to find participants for the future group, a music show business professional organizes the TV show “I want to go to Meladze.” Large-scale castings are held throughout the CIS countries, and the jury includes recognized stars of the Russian singing scene:, and.

As a result of musical confrontations, demonstration of talents and vocal abilities, as well as stage charm, the audience determined the composition of the group via SMS voting. The group was named "MBAND". The team members were four young people, each of whom already had some experience of performing on stage and participating in talent competitions.

The youngest in the MBAND group was born in 1998 in Ryazan. Coming from an ordinary family of a local club football player and a doctor, the boy showed musical talent and interest in music and dancing from early childhood. Noticing their son’s passion and abilities, Nikita’s parents took him to musical theater classes.


Subsequently, the boy takes part in children's music competitions, where he invariably receives high praise for his talent. After graduating from school as an external student, the young man entered college. However, when I got to the “I want to see Meladze” project, I had to leave my studies.

Another member of the group is a native of Kyiv. The young performer has no musical education, which he more than makes up for with his love for music and talent. Having moved to Moscow at the age of 22, the future conqueror of girls' hearts tried to break onto the stage on his own. While working as a bartender, Artem used his earnings to record hip-hop compositions and shoot amateur videos on them. To a narrow circle of fans of those times, Pindyura was known under the pseudonym Kid.


Independent efforts did not bring him popularity, but, fortunately, the singer ended up on Meladze’s television project, which gave him a start in developing his career. It is known that Artem was married and even managed to have a child. However, the relationship between the young couple did not work out. As the singer himself explains, his ex-wife did not understand his creative endeavors and did not share his goals and dreams.

The oldest and most experienced singer in the “MBAND” group is. The young man was born and raised in Kazakhstan. His mother brought his son to music school; she always supported the boy’s dreams of a stellar career and believed in quick success.


Since the age of 14, Anatoly has been performing at corporate events, earning his first money. For some time, the young man was a member of the popular musical group “MKD” in Kyrgyzstan. Participation in various competitions and television projects ultimately brought the talented performer to the Konstantin Meladze show.

The last, fourth, member and fan favorite left the team in November 2015. Originally from Kemerovo. The boy, like his former bandmates, studied music since childhood, graduated from a music school with a degree in piano and took private vocal lessons. The boy's mother worked as an artist musical theater, however, his father pushed his son to study music by enrolling him in a music school.


In 2015, the young man decided to start a solo career and get out from under the wing of Konstantin Meladze. The singer wrote about parting with the group on his Instagram, which came as a shock to fans. The young man thanked the mentor and the rest of the guys, expressing hope for continued friendship.

Meladze reacted to the departure and plans of his former ward quite negatively, saying that the performer left the project due to his professional unsuitability. But a solo career is impossible due to the contract in force with the Meladze production center, which Konstantin does not intend to terminate. Despite the ongoing squabbles, in 2016 Vladislav released his first solo album.


No high-profile proceedings followed, and the young performer continues his successful career. musical career in collaboration with . Videos and compositions by Vladislav are released, he acts as a songwriter for popular performers. Ramm’s creations occupy the top lines of the charts, and in February 2018 the singer’s second solo album was released.

The video for the debut song received more than 10 million views on the Youtube video hosting service in the first five months. The group's second video was released in June 2015 for the song “Look at Me.” The group's producer and singer took part in the filming.
