Popular hip-hop artist L’one and a blogger with a multimillion audience Katya Klep visited Novosibirsk and revealed the secrets of their popularity.
The arrival of popular guests took place within the framework of the KFC BATTLE sports and music festival, which took place on June 25 on the Ob embankment. This project combines several directions: football and streetball, vocals, rap, dancing, blogging. A star mentor is assigned to each direction – so, the nomination in which bloggers compete is curated by Katya Klep, and the rapper competition is L’one. So what’s the secret to popularity?
Win people’s love
It seems to me that a real artist should be from the people. Let’s take Zhanna Aguzarova as an example! I love this artist very much, and her success is caused, first of all, by the people’s love. What does rap music take? All top artists came from the people. We started with Rostov, Krasnodar, Kazakhstan … Later, having won the love of the people, we moved to Moscow, and everything worked out for them.
Be charismatic
You may not have amazing vocal skills, but it is important to have charisma. Among the Novosibirsk participants there is a guy named Vysotsky. It is unlikely that his name is Vladimir, I cannot remember. So, his video impressed me a lot. He chose not the best song and sang it no better than the others, but he has such charisma! I want to look at him without stopping, he attracts attention. I think he has good prospects, and the moment with the voice and the choice of the song is a fixable thing.
Cherish the support of loved ones
On April 15, my daughter Sofiko was born, this is already the second child in our family (the couple have a three-year-old son Misha. – Approx. Woman’s Day). I am extremely happy about this, love gives romance and strength for creative growth! At one time, under the windows of my beloved, I sang songs of Alla Pugacheva, with the advent of my daughter, the romantic inside me increased exponentially.
Be above stereotypes
I have been supervising the rap direction at the festival for several years now, and you know what pleasantly surprises? Girls take part! Rap seems to be considered not a woman’s business, but nonetheless. Perhaps none of them will make it to the finals, there is too much competition, but it’s great that they don’t think in stereotypes and are fighting for a place in the sun on equal terms with the guys.
To not give up!
If you are taking part in the competition and you didn’t manage to pass further – do not be discouraged! In my life, I have filled up hundreds of different contests, but all the time I was looking for myself. Yes, I didn’t succeed, but I didn’t stop. Every time I made new videos.
Find your style
On the way to Novosibirsk, I spent 20 hours on the plane, during the flight I watched videos on the Internet, selected the guys for the next tour. I saw that someone wants to be like my presentation, someone is guided by the style of other bloggers, but still the main thing is to find your own. By the way, a lot of videos are sent, including from other countries. Novosibirsk pleased me pleasantly. And I like the people here, they are kind of “tube” – benevolent, pleasant. For the first time I was in Novosibirsk in winter, in February, if I am not mistaken, and I thought that I would die here. I saw your roads covered with ice. I glided over them … and then I was still 12 kilograms thicker! I thought that was all.
For girls – stay feminine
A girl shouldn’t say at all: “Oh, I don’t like this romance!”, Otherwise you will definitely not get a bouquet of flowers for the rest of your life. I have always been fighting in this respect, if no one shows romance to me, then I don’t need it. Then she became softer, “girly” in this matter. I realized that you need to cultivate this quality in yourself.
