Murat Nasyrov(at birth Murat Ismailovich Nasyrov) (December 13, 1969, Alma-Ata - January 19, 2007, Moscow) - pop singer and composer.
Biography
Murat was the youngest child in a large Uighur family in the city of Alma-Ata. He is Uighur by nationality. Despite living in the city, the family was a very faithful Muslim (his father was the imam of the main mosque in Alma-Ata). In the wake of Turkic nationalism that swept Kazakhstan in the early 90s, Murat's family reacted negatively to his attempts to leave for Moscow, sing in Russian, and also live with a native of Estonia and have two children from her.
Musical career
After serving in the army, in 1991 Nasyrov entered the Gnessin School of Music for a vocal class.
At the All-Union Television Competition for Young Performers "Yalta-91" he won first place with Alla Pugacheva's song "The Half-Taught Magician". Nasyrov became popular in the late 1990s thanks to his adaptation of the song "Tic, tic, tac" (Bate forte o tambor) by the Brazilian group Carrapicho - "The Boy Wants to Tambov".
Criticism
In general, Murat Nasyrov was more of a musician than an outstanding singer. His work, as well as mainly Russian pop music of the early and mid-90s, was mainly imitative of Western stars (for example, Enrique Iglesias). After the gradual fading of popularity in the wake of the music of the new time, and of better quality, his popularity faded even more. Neither the scandalous PR romance with Alena Apina, nor attempts to promote the dubious singing data of their cohabitant helped. The tours stopped, and Murat more and more had to just perform in nightclubs and at private parties for 150,000-250,000 rubles. But he dreamed of something else. His popularity was, of course, great in his native Kazakhstan.
Circumstances of death
On the night of January 19-20, 2007, at the age of 37, Nasyrov committed suicide by jumping, according to the preliminary version, in a state of narcotic (according to some sources, alcohol) intoxication from the balcony of his Moscow apartment, located on the 5th floor of building No. 15, building 1 along Vuchetich street. In the first reports, the media spread the wrong information that he threw himself from the balcony, holding the icon in his hands. However, later it turned out that he had his own portrait in his hands.
According to the cohabitant, Natalia Boyko, the death was due to an accident. Buried in the city of Alma-Ata.
A few days later, the results of an autopsy performed at the Botkin hospital were made public: no traces of drugs or alcohol were found. The official version is suicide in a state of depression.

In the same year, the musician accepts Alla Pugacheva's proposal for cooperation with the Star Factory-5. At the end of the program, Murat performs the hit "Someone Forgives" along with the participant.

Two children were soon born in the family - daughter Leah (born in 1996) and son Akim (born in 2000).

There are several versions - from suicide, drug poisoning to a banal accident. The widow and friends of Murat lean towards the latter version. The funeral of the "sunny boy" was held in Alma-Ata. The body of the singer was laid to rest next to the grave of his father in the cemetery "Dawn of the East".

“I was born, like my friends“ a “Studios”, in Alma-Ata, in a family of ordinary people - Murat himself said - however, I am not a Kazakh, but an Uighur by nationality. I was the fifth child in the family - I have two brothers and two sisters, and I was the latest. All the children were gifted and no less talented than I, although I am the only one who went on stage. And all this is thanks to my father. Now he is 75 years old, he reads the Koran. The voice of "He is of indescribable beauty, he sings folk songs, plays various instruments. His father is so highly developed musically that it was passed on to all the children. In any case, the vocal gift is for sure: we all sing well ... "
Having signed a contract with Iratov, Nasyrov continued to release hit after hit: “Someone will forgive”, “I am you”, “Southern Night” - video clips were shot for all these songs. But Nasyrov's main hit was still the song "The Boy Wants to Tambov". And since Apina's most popular composition was called "Electric Train", the program of Nasyrov and Apina got its original name - "Electric Train to Tambov". Soon their duet number "Moonlight Nights" appeared, and in the fall of 1997 - the program of the same name. On April 1 and 2, 1998, the artists successfully showed it in a concert program at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. And soon followed the premiere of Nasyrov's next album - "My Story".
At 9 months old, Murat was sent to a nursery, where the gifted boy learned to sing before he spoke. Later at school, Murat continued to show his talents - he was a soloist in the school choir in the vocal group, studied "excellent" in mathematics and the exact sciences, and "good" in the humanities. Murat's older brother had a giant Bryansk reel-to-reel tape recorder with a huge number of records that Murat loved to listen to.
Murat later said: “At the age of seven, they taught me to play the guitar. I grasped everything very quickly, picked up chords and soon taught my peers myself. And thanks to his older brother, he played the Beatles from a young age. Then came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and others. I sang it all, of course. And even then, friends said: yes, you have the talent of an imitator!
Murat's versatility practically knew no bounds - he actively participated in school theater productions, was the captain of the KVN class team, the commander of the NVP, was fond of photography, having independently mastered all the basics of photography, loved painting, and he especially liked to draw portraits. Murat often made friendly caricatures of his classmates, was the chairman of the editorial board of the class and an active member of the Komsomol cell in the senior classes. He often won city competitions in the exact sciences. But for all his giftedness, the behavior of such a versatile student was often recognized by teachers as unsatisfactory, and parents were periodically called to the director.
Murat also loved sports very much, was fond of boxing, freestyle wrestling, fencing, but his main passion was football, in which he played for the Alma-Ata team "Enbek" in defense and midfield.
When the wave of popularity of "Modern Talking" swept the country, Murat was a school graduate. And Nasyrov copied the songs of the group so skillfully that his acquaintances, having heard him sing, said that with such a voice he could become a superstar. Then, after graduating from school in 1987, Murat tried to enter a pop school, but did not fit in age, and got a job as a loader in the central department store of Alma-Ata. In the autumn of 1987, Murat was called up for urgent military service in Ashgabat, where his active musical activity began.
In the army, having served half a year in the communications battalion in training, Murat got into the soldier's ensemble "Time", which soon gained popularity both among military units and among the civilian public. The ensemble performed a varied repertoire - from patriotic songs to works by Michael Jackson, success accompanied each of his performances, and then Murat first began to write his own songs and perform them at concerts. They began to recognize him in the city, take autographs, and Murat firmly decided after the service to go to Moscow to enter a music school in order to later make a career as a popular performer.
After being discharged from the army, having stayed at home for only a couple of weeks, Murat went to Moscow. The parents did not want their youngest son to leave the house again after a long separation. Mom was crying and did not want to let go of Murat, and the father wisely kept silent, not making any attempts either to support or hinder the choice of his son.
Murat said: “They said goodbye to me in Alma-Ata with tears in their eyes: the last child in the family, the most beloved. But I firmly decided that I was created only for the stage.
Once in Moscow in January 1990, Murat became a member of the Novy Port group, based at the music center of Moscow State University. In 1990, the group became a laureate at the Live Sound festival, organized by Vladimir Kuzmin at MDM, and Nasyrov received a diploma as the best vocalist. In the same year, Murat entered the Gnessin Music College at the vocal pop-jazz department. But life in the capital was far from easy.
Murat said: “From a wealthy family, where I didn’t have to think about where to get a piece of bread, I came to a completely “hungry” city. Before entering Gnesinka, he simply lived from hand to mouth, somehow worked part-time to rent a room. Thank you, friends and acquaintances helped out - they invited me to visit, watered and fed.
Student life has become one of the brightest impressions in the life of Murat. In 1991, the first triumph took place in his life - he won the Yalta-91 competition for young performers, where he impressed the jury, which included Igor Krutoy, Laima Vaikule, Vladimir Matetsky and Yaak Yola with his bright personality and unexpected interpretation of a song from Alla's repertoire Pugacheva "The half-educated magician".
In addition, Murat sang his song "You are alone." His victory in the competition was undeniable, despite the strong lineup of participants. Nasyrov became the owner of the Grand Prix, a prize of 20,000 rubles and a 2-year contract, according to which politician Konstantin Borovoy promised to make Murat a Soviet pop star. Such a lot of prizes promised to be a good impetus for starting a solo career. But in 1992, Murat participated in the international competition "Jurmala-92", the performance at which turned into an unfortunate defeat, which significantly influenced Murat's career in show business. His two-year contract ended, the rating was falling, but Marat continued to compose music. Without dropping out of school, Murat got a job in a night pub, where he performed world and domestic hits. Working in night bars, restaurants, casinos and clubs has become not only the main source of income, but also a good daily practice. In the same period, Murat courted his classmate Natasha, with whom they later started a family, and in 1996 their daughter Leah was born.
Murat said: “Then I thought that you can have your own audience without chasing popularity - and got a job singing in a tavern. It was hard work. But many people liked what I was doing, and they began to invite me to other places.”
In 1993 and 1994, Nasyrov performed Russian versions of songs for the screensavers of the Disney animated series Black Cloak and DuckTales. And in 1995, Murat brought his own phonograms to the Soyuz studio. The producers liked the singer's voice and after a while the song "Step" became a radio hit. When the Soyuz studio was approached by the poet Sergey Kharin with the idea to cover the then-fashionable song “Tic Tic Tac” by the Brazilian band Carrapicho, the studio’s producers approved this idea and began to select performers for the project. Like other singers, Nasyrov was also offered to sing "The Boy Wants to Tambov" - the Russian version of "Tic tic tac". Murat agreed rather out of curiosity and politeness. But soon he was informed that his version was the best, and Murat Nasyrov had a hit that immediately made him famous. The song stayed on the first positions of the music charts for almost 4 weeks. Soon, the "Union" published the first album of Nasyrov, called "Someone will forgive."
Nasyrov was often invited to concerts and shown on television. In April 1997, he performed at the gala concert "Surprise for Alla Pugacheva", where he sang "The Half-Taught Magician". After that, the producer of the Soyuz studio and the husband of Alena Apina, Alexander Iratov, offered Murat a job with Apina in one program in which each of them sang their songs.
In August 1998, the cooperation between Nasyrov and Iratov ceased, and Murat entered into an agreement with the Mediastar company, starting work with a young producer Arman Davletyarov.In 1999, Nasyrov began to sing in English. And in October 2000, Murat's son Akim was born. In the same 2000, Nasyrov is fond of Latin American rhythms that have come into fashion, and releases his third album, All this was not with me. Two years later, a much less “Latin” and in many ways more intimate record “Wake Me Up” followed, the release of which was helped by Arman Davletyarov. The first composition of the album is dedicated to Nasyrov's son Akim, and the track "Alina" is dedicated to his beloved niece Alina. On the disc there was a duet of the singer with his wife Natasha - they performed the song "Mimosa". Murat performed all these songs live at the presentation. Grigory Leps, Katya Lel and the A-Studio group congratulated Murat on the release of the album. And producer Yuri Aizenshpis introduced Murat to his new ward - Dima Bilan.
In 2004, Murat Nasyrov completed work on the Uighur album "Kaldim Yalguz" filled with national color. The decision to record just such an album was rather risky for Murat Nasyrov, since it was difficult to guess how his many fans would react to an unexpected reincarnation. Murat decided to dedicate his new record to his father, who had died a goal earlier.
Murat said: “My father, Ismail Sufi Nasyrov, is a man who lived by pure faith in Allah, lived for the sake of his family, gave people love and benefactor, he sang of his ancient Uighur people, rich in culture and traditions. His warm and strong voice made everyone relive every word in the song. I saw how people cried to his violin, how they danced to the dutar, but the strongest feeling was experienced when my father read Surahs (Hayats) from the Koran.
Ismail Nasyrov's voice sounds in the last composition of the "Uighur Album". “When my son was born, my father came to Moscow, and then I recorded his voice in the studio - he sang several songs a cappella. The arrangement had to be done later, when he was gone, - said Murat. “All year I shed tears creating this album…”
All the songs included in the Uighur Album are written by Nasyrov himself. He not only wrote poetry and music, but also played almost all instruments, mostly national ones. It intertwined the gentle sounds of ravap (a five-stringed plucked instrument) and Azerbaijani saz, the rhythm of dapa and the melody of hushtar; ancient Uighur traditions harmoniously combined with modern fashionable arrangements.
Murat Nasyrov hoped to interest European listeners with his work. When asked what his formula for success is, he answered: “Success, probably, can be called when a person feels in a state of a dream and goal that has come true, when he has achieved what he wanted. But this, from my point of view, is not an unambiguous concept of a successful career. After all, you yourself understand that you can achieve the desired success with your own efforts or receive such a gift from Lady Luck, but still wish for more. For example, I have been striving for what is now in my life for a long time. And I do not stop there, I want to achieve even greater success. What is happening in my life, a successful career, a beloved family is a great gift of fate. I was very lucky. Isn’t it happiness when you do what you love, and with pleasure you return home to your family.”
Despite his busyness, Murat devoted a lot of time to his children and wife. With pleasure he helped his wife Natasha around the house, cooked, played with Leah and Akim. To the question of a journalist: “What comes first for you - work or family. And do women put you to sleep? - Murat said that the family has always been and will be more important for the singer. After all, she is the main support and support in life. And his beloved women do not “lull him to sleep” at all, but, on the contrary, it is calm and comfortable next to them, they inspire and charge with positive emotions.
Dmitry Malikov spoke about Nasyrov: “He served in Ashgabat and even went AWOL one day to get to my concert. A year and a half ago we were in Khabarovsk. He photographed us there, spoke - as a keepsake ... In his work he was not completely satisfied. He approached life wisely. I had my own philosophy: never get upset and take everything that happens calmly.”
But in August 2006, Murat's friend, the guitarist of the A-Studio group, Baghlan Sadvakasov, died in a car accident. This tragic circumstance had a strong effect on Nasyrov.
Marina Khlebnikova said in an interview: “The death of Baga knocked down Murat. He was his best friend. The only thing that saved him from depression was his favorite hobby. He constantly photographed something: nature, people. We were friends for 17 years, and during all this time I never saw Murat sad. He loved his Natasha and the kids so much.”
The day before his death, Nasyrov came to a party at the Diaghilev club, where he announced his wedding from the stage, since he and Natasha Boyko had not previously been officially scheduled: “I am so happy. On March 21, I have a wedding, 120 people were invited.
But on the night of January 19-20, 2007, a tragedy happened - Nasyrov fell from the balcony of his Moscow apartment. Greta Boyko, Nasyrov's mother-in-law, said in an interview: “I got the impression that Muratik did not understand what he was doing. This is terrible…"
On January 19, Nasyrov met his wife Natalya, who had returned to Moscow. Together they came home, where the mother-in-law of the musician Greta Boyko and Nasyrov's two children, Akim and Leah, were. Murat behaved strangely, walked quickly around the apartment, called someone, jumped up and sat down, went to the window. He behaved restlessly. Later, he took his wife to the place where she had an appointment, then returned home and closed himself in his studio, equipped in an apartment. Then he went out, took his portrait, woke up the children and changed into a concert costume. He constantly tried to go out onto the balcony, but Greta Boyko did not allow him to do this. Then Nasyrov jumped out onto the landing and called the apartment of the neighbors, with whom they were friends with families. He began to shout to his neighbors that he had a vision of God and the recently deceased guitarist of the A-Studio group. Then, according to eyewitnesses, “the singer climbed onto the balcony of his apartment, hung a camera around his neck, picked up his portrait and jumped off the fifth floor. An ambulance arrived at the scene on a call from relatives and declared death from injuries incompatible with life.
“We remember him as an intellectual and a respectable family man,” Nasyrov's neighbors said. - His wife Natalya is often seen with her little son on the street. A very pleasant young woman. And Murat was met more and more in the morning when he went to work. He always says hello, always polite... He didn't look like a man who dabbled in drugs. Of course, there were conflicts in the family, and often. But these quarrels were not fatal.
Raisa Chapala, Nasyrov's former press officer, said: “We met Murat almost ten years ago. Murat made a great impression on me. Next to him is the same young beauty wife Natasha, with whom Murat fell passionately in love even at the school. He told me about the passion with which he pursued her. He told that his parents, Uighurs, Muslims, at first did not recognize their daughter-in-law, but then they fell in love with her and their granddaughter Leah. The fact that, thanks to the strict upbringing of his father, he does not know what foul language is, is indifferent to alcohol, loves music, women, good company, loves children.
Many years later, when I became Mediastar's press officer, I met Murat again, and he offered to work with him personally. He was the same sweet, kind, polite, soft, smiling guy.
During this time, different things happened to him. Murat dreamed of getting an apartment in Moscow. But the money in some construction company was gone - it was a serious blow for the young musician. Relations with the first producer did not work out well. After the duet with Alena Apina, not a single star song appeared in the singer's life. He made an attempt to record a duet with his wife and turn Natasha into a pop star Selena. After all, they graduated from the Gnessin School together, she is a professional singer. But it all ended in nothing. Murat invested in clips, participated in stellar concerts. But he remained a "boy" who "wants to go to Tambov" ...
Talking that he was high and was treated for drug addiction for a long time is just talk. Stage addiction, the thirst for fame - this is a part of the artist's personality that is not treated. And withdrawals in a state of sadness - worse than from drugs. Whatever was written in the medical report, it is obvious to me that Murat Nasyrov was poorly adapted to life in the environment where he ended up. With a good upbringing and a gentle character, without a wolf grin - there is nothing to do in show business! You know, my daughter called him Butyatik ... Blessed memory to you, Muratik!

“I was born, like my friends “a'studians”, in Alma-Ata, - said Murat Nasyrov - however, not a Kazakh, but an Uyghur by nationality, - in a family of ordinary people. Was the fifth child in the family - I have two brothers and two sisters, and I was the latest. All the children were gifted and no less talented than me, although I was the only one who went on stage. And it's all thanks to my father. Now he is 75 years old, he reads the Koran. His voice is of indescribable beauty, he sings folk songs, plays various instruments. The father is so strongly developed musically that it was passed on to all the children. In any case, the vocal gift is for sure: we all sing well ... "
Despite his innate abilities, in the sultry Alma-Ata, Murat did not even think about a career as a singer. He studied roughly at school and especially liked to “click” problems in mathematics, for a change, alternating them with experiments in physics. And he would have become a standard Soviet engineer, if not for the yard guys and, most importantly, his older brother with his giant Bryansk tape recorder.
He was not spared by his passion for sports: boxing, freestyle wrestling, fencing, but football was his favorite. He even played for the Enbek team in Alma-Ata, mainly in defense and midfield. However, at school tournaments he was always on the attack. Rooted for Kairat. I even had to serve balls at the games of my favorite team. After school, I faced a choice of who to be: either to enter the physics and mathematics, or to devote myself to art.
“I was taught to play the guitar at the age of eight. I grasped everything very quickly, picked up chords and soon taught my peers myself. And thanks to his older brother, he played the Beatles from a young age. Then came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and others. I sang it all, of course. And even then, friends said: yes, you have the talent of an imitator!
When the country was overwhelmed by "Modern Talking", Murat was already a graduate of the school. Of course, Thomas Anders could not but leave an indelible mark on the souls of schoolchildren of the perestroika era. While the girls sobbed into the pillows from a passionate love for a Western idol, Nasyrov ... "copied him" for a penny. Friends who heard me sing said that with such a voice I should become a superstar. Something went wrong in my head.” In general, thanks to the "harmful" influence of Western culture, the country has lost an average engineer, football player and "kitchen-access" guitarist. But acquired - without five minutes of the artist.
The first minute of this "five minutes" flew by ... in the army. After school, Murat went to repay his debt to the Motherland in Ashgabat. Actually, there his active musical activity began. With the first “military” tours, a sense of the stage came (and has not disappeared since then). After such a “hardening”, there was nowhere to retreat, and Murat decided to go to conquer the expanses of show business in Moscow. “They said goodbye to me in Alma-Ata with tears in their eyes: the last child in the family, the most beloved. But I firmly decided that I was created only for the stage.
After parting with his native home, Nasyrov hoped for the warm hospitality of the white stone. However... “From a wealthy family, where I didn’t have to think about where to get a piece of bread, I came to a completely “hungry” (for myself) city. Before entering Gnesinka, he simply lived from hand to mouth, somehow worked part-time to rent a room. Thank you, friends and acquaintances helped out - they invited me to visit, watered and fed. But the first bastions of Moscow - the exams for the Gnessin Institute - were taken. Murat overcame the competition of 40 people for a place and lived an unforgettable life as a Moscow student...
The next conquered Everest for him was the contest "Yalta-91". Nasyrov carefully prepared for it together with the teacher Gnesinka - and received the Grand Prix. The jury - Igor Krutoy, Vladimir Matetsky, Laima Vaikule, Yaak Yoala - turned out to be unanimous in their decision, putting the highest mark on the Kazakh boy, who was the first of all the contestants to aim at the performance of Alla Pugacheva's hit.
However, the absolute victory in the competition did not mean instant ascension to the starry Olympus. Some proposals appeared, but after a while everything fell apart. Desperate Murat decided to give up all-encompassing fame: “Then I thought that you can have your own audience without chasing popularity - and got a job singing in a tavern. It was hard work. But many people liked what I was doing, and they began to invite me to other places.” So, in one of the clubs, fellow countrymen saw each other in cigarette smoke: Murat met the A`Studio group.
Of course, the Kazakh brothers could not but help and introduced the young Alma-Ata resident to the then just beginning producer Arman Davletyarov. After several performances at show parties, Murata Nasyrova discovered the bohemia of the capital.
Widespread fame came to Murat after the song "The Boy Wants to Tambov" (arrangement of the song "Tic, tic, tac" (Bate forte o tambor) by the Brazilian group Carrapicho). In 1995, the Soyuz studio released a CD-single with the songs "Step", "It's just a dream" and "Natalie". In 1997, Murat's first big album "Someone will forgive" was released, which included 12 songs, including three from the previous single, 11 of them were written by Nasyrov. Murat found himself in the role of a performer of soft, lyrical and professionally impeccable music.
In 1996-1997, Alexander Iratov, producer of Alena Apina, worked in the concert department of the Soyuz studio. The master, appreciating the young singer, offered his participation. As a result, Murat and Alena worked in the same program. Everyone sang their own songs. Including the main hits - Nasyrov - "The boy wants to Tambov", Apina - "Electric train". Therefore, the program was called - "Electric Train to Tambov".
But soon the number-duet "Moonlight Nights" appeared. And in the fall of 1997, the program of the same name. On April 1 and 2, 1998, the artists successfully showed it in the country's main concert program at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. By that time, new hits about beautiful love appeared in Nasyrov's repertoire, the most notable of which was "You are me." And soon the premiere of the next album "My Story" followed.
In 1999, Murat Nasyrov began to sing in English. The singer's new hobby was coolly received by fans, who still asked to perform "You are me" and "The boy wants to Tambov" at concerts, but not new English-language experiments.
In 2000, Nasyrov became interested in Latin American rhythms that came into fashion and released his third album, All This Was Not With Me. Two years later, the much less "Latin" and in many ways more intimate record "Wake Me Up" followed. The first composition of the album is dedicated to Nasyrov's son Akim, and the track "Alina" is dedicated to the famous Russian athlete Alina Kabaeva.
In 2004, Murat Nasyrov completed work on the Uighur album "Kaldim Yalgus", full of national flavor. He wrote all the material for the record himself. Moreover, in the studio Murat played most of the instruments used in the album.
After this work, Nasyrov did not release a single record, although his new songs were periodically published on various collections of popular music and were among the most popular compositions in various charts.
Buried in the city of Alma-Ata.
The tragic death of 37-year-old singer Murat NASYROV, who crashed on the evening of January 19 as a result of a fall from the 5th floor, was a real shock for everyone. His wife Natalia BOYKO and director Alexander SKURIKHIN were quick to announce that it was an accident. Allegedly, Murat was adjusting a television antenna on the balcony and accidentally fell off. However, law enforcement officials concluded that the singer had committed suicide. According to them, he was in a state of drug intoxication and, before throwing himself from the balcony, shouted that he was talking with God and with his deceased friend, the guitarist of the A-Studio band, Baghlan SADVAKASOV, who died in a car accident on August 2, 2006.

Murat lived not far from me, and I arrived at his house literally half an hour after the tragedy, ”said the singer Felix Tsarikati, who had been friends with Nasyrov since their participation in the Yalta-91 contest. - The place of his fall was already fenced off with tapes, and the police did not let anyone near him. With tears in my eyes, I began to explain that this was my friend. But I got kicked out anyway. They said that Murat fell with an icon in his hands.
Indeed, some broken frames were lying next to him. But these were frames not from an icon, but from an ordinary portrait. For some reason, Murat himself was dressed in a concert costume. It all looked a little like an accident. Well, who will climb to fix the antenna in a concert suit and with a portrait in their hands ?! Yes and no, there are no antennas on that balcony where he fell from. And why does the wife insist on the version of the accident? I'm still in shock. I didn't expect this from Murat. We talked with him before the New Year. He was in absolutely normal condition. Talk about his lack of demand as an artist is complete nonsense. Yes, he rarely appeared on television. So what? He was already known and loved. He was preparing an album. On March 2, he was going to go to Alma-Ata with me and other friends with a big concert program. What they say about drugs also raises serious doubts in me. I have known him for a very long time and never noticed the slightest sign. It is strange for me to hear about his dying mystical statements. His father is an imam. And he is a Muslim himself. Maybe he was involved in some kind of sect or someone zombified? Well, he couldn't do it himself.

Oddly enough, the assumption of the possible involvement of some sectarians in what happened turned out to be by no means as absurd as it might seem at first glance.
Recently, Murat recorded a song at our studio together with Dynamite, and the guys also said that he rubbed them about some kind of visions and about communication with God, - said Alexander Tolmatsky. - In my opinion, he could pick up this crap from his producer Arman Davletyarov.
Even when we worked together at the Media Star company, Arman was a member of a sectarian-type organization. And under the threat of dismissal, he forced all the employees of our company to visit her, up to the secretary. All this was done under the auspices of team building. As the employees later complained to me, they were locked up there for several days and constantly inspired some kind of heresy. After that, people's roofs moved out. On this basis, a conflict began with Arman. As a result, he hung out with Alexandra Burataeva from Youth Unity and, having lured some of the artists from Media Star, created his own production company Musical Unity.

Whether he then continued to lead people into this sect, I do not know. But at the time of Media Star, Arman and Nasyrov were dragged there.
Unfortunately, the assumption that the singer could lose control of himself due to alcohol and drug abuse also looked quite plausible. “I can’t say that Nasyrov appeared at every party drunk or stoned, like Shura and some other artists, but I have seen him in a completely insane state,” admitted producer Alexander Valov. - I was especially shocked by one incident that happened on the ship during the celebration of the birthday of producer Vladimir Zolotarev. I don’t know what exactly Nasyrov drugged himself with then, but in the end he got to the point that he dragged the soloist of “Guests from the Future” Eva Polna onto the roof of the ship and, in front of everyone, began to have sex with her. How did they not get off this roof...
On the eve of his death, on the night of January 18-19, Murat Nasyrov attended the Russian Dance Music Awards (RDMA) at the fashionable Diaghilev club in the capital, where, according to eyewitnesses, almost all the guests were "high".
In "VIPs" some "muddy" people were spinning for the most part, - a certain dimantip reported in his Internet diary. - In the upper boxes, like a benoir at the Bolshoi Theater, some kind of a la elite was sitting - almost all under the "white", yes, yes, under the "coca". Most did not understand at all what was happening and “why is it finally written “RDMA” on all screens. They just came, as usual, to the club “to sniff out whites and drink che-thread”, and then some kind of award ... One of the nominations was supposed to be presented by Malinovskaya, but they said that she had snot ... Nasyrov presented Malinovskaya instead. Fully promoted himself. I forgot why I went on stage at all. He said that he had a wedding on March 21 (with Natalya Boyko, the singer lived in a civil marriage for 15 years. - M.F.), pushed something about wishes to all the ladies in the new year, so that they would be bought the most beautiful wedding dress. In general, everything about the high and completely off topic was broadcasting ...
