In 2002, a new project "Star Factory" was launched on television, which immediately became megapopular. The whole country, with bated breath, followed the life and work of young talents.
The group "Roots", Irina Dubtsova, Nikita Malinin - these performers became idols of youth of zero. Now their popularity is not so high as it was before. How was their fate?
The "Roots" group is the winner of "Star Factory-1"
In 2003 - 2006 the popularity of the band "Roots", which won in the very first "Star Factory", just went off scale. Four charming guys with their sweet smiles and sentimental hits have broken more than one girl's heart. But, unfortunately, for a long time to keep on the wave of success the guys did not work. In 2010, two soloists, Pavel Artemiev and Alexander Astashenok, left the band for an acting career. In this field, Astashenok has made great strides, which has already appeared in several films.

The famous parent did not have to blush for his son: Nikita was extraordinarily talented and won, and his song "Kitten" became a hit. The clip for this song took first place in various ratings for 6 months.
However, after participating in the project, the young performer found himself in a creative impasse. According to him, fame and success have spoiled it. In addition, the producer of the third "Factory" Alexander Shulgin, according to rumors, did not engage in the promotion of their wards, so all of them, despite the grandiose talents, have not achieved much success.
However, Nikita did not despair: he himself started producing, and also continued his career in show business. At the moment he works on various musical projects and gives concerts. About his personal life 35-year-old Nikita does not like to spread, but it is known that he loves cats very much. In his Instagram are full of touching photos of small predators.
