The court decides 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 go away. The role of the star went to Nikolai Baskov.

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

In 2016, the band recorded an official single for this film. The director was Anton Kalinkin. According to his plan, the tape was aimed at viewers 10-16 years old. A light, romantic film with idols familiar to young people. And so this comedy was born.

Nikita himself admits: when he was at the casting, he could not even imagine that he would eventually work with one of the best music producers in the country. In 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 life priorities at this stage are arranged in such a way that a career is above all.

Vladislav Ramm

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

He was born in Kemerovo. On the show "I want to Meladze" he came up with perhaps the most spectacular appearance for himself. He jumped off 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 part with his wife. After that, he completely focused on work. His whole life consists of concerts, tours, recordings and filming.

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

Artem is older than his colleagues, he 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, in the end, the performer ended up in the team of Sergey Lazarev, with whom he won.

Like other members of the team, he had a romantic relationship. However, the girl, with whom it almost came to a wedding, had to part. In creativity, she did not support her young man

New composition

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

At the same time, the producer noted that the musician would not be able to start a solo career until at least 2021.
