(Russia) SEREBRO - Song #1
«I didn’t invent anything on purpose”, says Maxim FADEEV. “I just wanted to do the kind of music that I like, to do something for my soul, the music I’ve always wanted to compose without investigating the market or the radio format. We’ve been preparing the project for about a year, we were doing it simply for our own pleasure. All material for the debut album is almost ready, but we are taking our time - I don’t want any compromises or emergencies. Music material, appearance of the group, behavior of the girls on stage - everything must be at such a level when I can say that I am completely satisfied. We’ve been choosing the participants of the project for quite a long time. We were looking for perfect voice qualities, chic appearance and of course charisma. At the moment I am 100 per cent satisfied with the group members. I didn’t have any plans at all to start the promotion of SEREBRO from the Eurovision Song Contest. Fate has willed that way.”
Elena TEMNIKOVA (performer)
Born in Kurgan. In 2002 took part in the national TV music project “Star Academy”
“I began taking music lessons at the age of five. I remember that my violin teacher had a gigantic size of feet, and I used to like it a lot”.
“Now I don’t have almost any time for anything but for my work. I don’t even have time to meet my friends. But I prefer to give up sleeping rather than to stop meeting with the friends. And one more thing I can’t give up doing is reading books. At the moment I’m mostly deprived of visiting beauty shops & spa and sauna which I’m actually in love with.”
I am able to forgive almost everything but for foolishness. I know for sure that never will I be able to become an average statistical wife, for not a single man could beat my temper. Probably that’s the way I will live all my life - surrounded by music and… lovers!”
“Actually there are a lot of things I dislike - technicolors, our newspapers, internet chats”.
“What are my pleasures in life? Stage, sex and cars. Also I like to be a leader and I make a cult of food”.

Marina LIZORKINA (performer)
Born in Moscow. From the age of twelve sang in Struve chorus. At the age of 16 entered the Contemporary Art University. Loves painting in her own unique style. Hobby: cars.
“If I don’t drive my car for two days, I just go crazy. I can’t pass by an ill or hungry animal. People often get themselves into troubles, but injustice towards animals touches me very deeply. I love painting in oil. The main characters are mostly humanoids from other worlds. But I must say that my drawings make very strange impression on people. Each and everyone finds something different in them - and that is great. I prefer not to divide music into different genres and styles. I prefer all kinds of music. I just hate hypocrisy and cowardice and faint-heartedness - both in men and women. But I general I love people, I love this world and have a positive look on everything that surrounds me.”
