The first "Star Factory" was released 17 years ago. We watched this show after school, singing along to the participants: “Cool you got on TV!”, And every week we looked forward to the reporting concerts. Then the "Star Factory" began to replace one another, we began to forget the names of the participants, not to distinguish them outwardly, and generally lost interest in such shows. But to peep into who our yesterday's idols have turned into and how our yesterday's idols have changed is still curious.

Bright Side  tracked down what interesting things happened in the lives  of Factory graduates : did they manage to achieve success outside of the film studio, or do many of them just live from one project to another?

1. Timati, "Star Factory - 4"

Timati, aka Timur Yunusov, became one of the most successful "manufacturers". He succeeded not only in his musical career, but also in business. Timati founded the  Black Star group of companies , which combined a music label, a chain of fast food restaurants, a barbershop and tattoo parlor, a car wash chain, a fashion brand and much more.

In 2014, Timati had a daughter, Alisa, from a model, second vice-miss RUSSIA  - 2012 Alena Shishkova. Now the rapper is also engaged to a model, the first vice-miss Russia - 2014 Anastasia Reshetova, who is expecting a child from him.

Rita Dakota (real name - Margarita Gerasimovich) after the completion of the project abandoned her career as a pop singer. First, she founded the rock band Monroe, and then "retrained" from singers to authors. She wrote songs for Svetlana Loboda, Elka, Ani Lorak and many others. In 2015, Rita again reminded of herself by taking part in the musical project "Main Stage" and recording several tracks.

In the same year, the girl married her friend from the "Star Factory" - singer Vlad Sokolovsky. In 2017, the couple had a daughter, Mia. After 3 years of marriage, Rita  is under ala for divorce .

Anastasia Kochetkova came to the "Star Factory - 4" as a 15-year-old girl. On the project, Nastya, Timati, Dominik Joker and Ratmir Shishkov organized the Banda group, but after the death of Ratmir, the team broke up.

The girl married the novice DIRECTOR Rezo Gigineishvili and starred in his film "Heat". A daughter, Maria, was born in marriage, but in 2008 the family broke up: the director went to actress Nadezhda Mikhalkova. After the divorce, Anastasia tried to return to the stage. And in 2016, she went to America, graduated from the film academy there, got married and became a mother for the second time.

Sati Casanova became popular thanks to her participation in the Factory group. After 12 years, the girl left the band, admitting that she "became cramped within the framework of popular music." She created the project  Sati Eth nica , in which she combines folk songs and prayers with electronic music. Sati has been practicing yoga for many years, does not eat MEAT and promotes a healthy lifestyle in every possible way.

Participation in the "Star Factory - 7" and the boy band "BiS" formed there brought wide fame to the young singer. But even before the project, Dmitry managed to prove himself: he graduated from the acting department of GITIS, played several prominent roles in theater and cinema.

After the collapse of the BiS group, the singer radically changed his image. He created his own rock band, while not leaving the acting job. Bikbaev works as artistic director of the I. M. Astakhov Cultural Center and has been serving at the Moscow Theater of the Moon for more than 10 years. He played a small role in the Hollywood thriller Black Rose.

Arseniy Borodin turned from a pretty young guy into a brutal rocker. And these changes are not only external. At the Star Factory, Borodin joined the Chelsea pop group, with which he parted ways at the end of the contract to pursue a solo career. Arseniy recorded several compositions, took part and won the project "Main Stage", participated in the show "Voice".

For a long time I met with blogger and TV presenter Nastya Ivleeva.

This performer was remembered by the audience not at all for his songs, but for his relationship with the "manufacturer" Elena Temnikova. They got married after filming was completed, and 2 years later they divorced because they had different goals in life.

Immediately after the end of the project, Alexei abandoned music, left for Ukraine and is currently working as a producer on one of the Ukrainian channels. He is married a second time and has two children.

Dmitry Astashenok is the brother of the soloist of the Roots group Alexander Astashenok. But unlike his brother, participation in the "Star Factory" did not bring fame to the guy. He left the project after only a few weeks to pursue his studies.

Now Dmitry lives in America, where he performs solo concerts under the stage name  Dmitriy . Works as a sound producer and arranger for PlomBear.

9. Alexandra Balakireva, "Star Factory - 5"

This red-haired girl was remembered by the audience for her sonorous voice and bright appearance. On the project, she sang songs of her own composition, and after the final she received a contract with producer Igor Matvienko. Together with another project participant, Anna Kulikova, they created the KuBa group, which broke up 4 years later.

Sasha became a solo artist, but the girl has not yet released a single hit. Not so long ago, the singer took part in the Main Stage project, however, she has not yet managed to get her former popularity.

10. Angina (Nadezhda Igoshina), "Star Factory - 4"

This lighter girl, remembered for her hit "Who cares", dramatically changed not only her image, but also her profession. In 2015, she graduated from the Herman Sidakov School of Drama and became a sought-after serious actress. Nadezhda plays in the theater of the documentary play "Teatr.doc", and also starred in films and TV series ("Moscow, I love you!", "Moment", "Kitchen", "Wait for me"). Married, has a son.

Confess right away, do you remember the songs that these singers once performed? Or did you think throughout the article: “Who are all these people?”
