Bald by nickname Mobi.
Bald by nickname Mobi.
MOBI - the musician of the newest format. And business not only that
Its album - already penultimate - "Play" has been sold
In million circulations, and hits have captivated aethers of radio stations and
Musical television channels. And not that a way of this unsightly with
To kind, the bald guy with a large head from New York in stars was, as
Is found, it is thorny and confused. Never simply Mobi strained.
AS in those days when he played that garage-punk a rave
Electronic music, and behind soul it had only a pair of trousers, vests and
One krossovki, and now when it with a head has plunged into blueses
50-60th years, and on the bank account the sum with six zero lays,
Mobi writes songs one, in a bedroom of the flat on Manhattan.
Nobody is not necessary to it only because he and itself is able dexterously
To pull samples (sound fragments) from another's smash hits. Mobi
Plays on everything and it is capable to replace the whole orchestra. Therefore
The company of musicians is not necessary to it: "I have ceased to play groups in
To the middle 80. If in group of 5 persons and at everyone on the girl-friend,
To meet it is necessary a maximum two times a week. And I work itself on
To itself of 8-9 hours per day. Also it is not necessary to listen to the another's
To the critic ". The first popularity to Mobi has come with a composition"Go",
The music stuck together from fragments to a cult serial "Twin
Peaks ", and processings popular" James Bonda's Subject ". He was
It is very surprised, that became well-known. "At us in America the bald
Musicians under 40, sitting on kitchens, cannot be in any way
", - it shared pop stars with me during interview. In it
Lives has changed nothing: "Short of in what
Fantastic hotels I stop now. At me the same
Friends, I go to the same restaurants and I buy meal in the same
Supermarket. And even I live in old apartment ".
Mobi, the pseudonym which has taken to in honour of Mobi Dika (its full name
Richard Melvin Holl, on a legend, writer Herman Melvill - it
The relative), as a matter of fact, the musician-phantom. It much that does not do.
For example, does not go in world rounds and not tusuetsja with others
Show business stars. Does not participate in street firing, as
Black rappers, also does not unroll in "Jaguar" with a leopard upholstery,
As Bono from U2, and on night clubs went, only while worked there
The DJ. It "does not glue" top models and does not communicate at all with
Girls. Once him nearly have not arrested: together with friends
Has arranged in the middle of number in hotel a sauna. It would Seem - in the
Number do that you want and with whom you want, an is not present! Gays already recognised
The musician for the, and itself Mobi admitted, that dreams to wander
Across evening New York stark naked.
On "an official legend", "Play" (in transfer with English - game) -
It graffiti on a wall of a children's playground at house Mobi. An inscription so
Has inspired the musician, that the album kept in charts whole 3
Year, and all this time of the musician awarded all possible
Musical awards. Also was for what. On this album Mobi
Has shown everything, that could: both power hip-hop, and classical
Piano, both guitar searches, and electronic melodies... In
Difference from many fashion-makers from show business, whose disks
Remind one composition in length 45 minutes, Mobi has shown miracles
Versatility.
It, the erudite and the fan of a satirical animated cartoon about a family
Simpsons, journalists adore. Even on the most foolish question to it
It is possible to respond interestingly. About the name of last album
"18" it speaks: "On him of 18 songs, and still I wanted, that the name
It was clear not only that who speaks English. In a Hebrew
This word also means "life". And after a plate
Aliens has failed to New Mexico, bodies have taken away on research in
Hangar N 18 ". And let my question not from number
Superintellectual, but it excites very many young
People.
- Be going to to Russia?
- I hope to arrive if not in it, next year. And
Now: thanks, good-bye - it is necessary to run on a business meeting.
I am late!
Dmitry HARCHENKO, London.
