Life after "Star Factory": how the fate of the stars of the first season of the reality show

Seventeen years ago, the premiere of the first season of the Russian musical show "Star Factory" took place. Every Friday, the audience watched the reporting concerts of young musicians, and then sang their hits. Today we decided to recall the brightest manufacturers, whose tours collected stadiums, and their popularity knew no bounds. Let's find out how they live today and whether viewers remember them.

Maria Alalykina

Maria Alalykina left the Fabrika group two months after its creation, having managed to star in the only video for the song "About Love"

Maria was a bright and versatile girl. She participated in beauty contests, sang and danced. As part of the popular Fabrika group, Masha performed for only two months, because she started having problems with her studies. Soon after leaving the group, Alalykina got married, gave birth to a daughter, resumed her studies and music lessons. Another change took place in the singer's life - she converted to Islam. Masha's family happiness did not last long. The husband left the girl for her best friend, and Maria was fired from her job because of wearing a headscarf. Today, the former factory owner maintains her blog dedicated to Islam and does not get in touch with journalists.

Mikhail Grebenshchikov

Among the participants of the first "Star Factory", the merry fellow Mikhail Grebenshchikov stood out for his rare love of life

Incendiary songs of the merry fellow Mikhail Grebenshchikov did not leave anyone indifferent. It was he who was the leader in the audience voting for a long time, but in the end he took third place. After the end of the project, Mikhail decided not to stop there. The musician wrote new songs, worked on television and began to engage in production activities. In recent years, little has been heard about Grebenshchikov. It is known that he worked at Alla Pugacheva's school, but then was fired. Today Mikhail is raising two daughters, dreams of falling in love again and building a strong family.

Pavel Artemiev

Today Pavel plays in performances of the Moscow Praktika theater and is the ideological leader and soloist of the Artemiev group

Pavel Artemiev with his curly hair and sweet burr is remembered even by those who were not fans of the "Star Factory". The group "Roots", the soloist of which was Pavel, took the first place in the competition, and the musician was dubbed one of the most popular participants in the project. After the victory, "Roots" gathered stadiums all over the country for many years, but Artemiev did not plan to stay in the group, so in 2010 he left the team. Today Pavel is still engaged in music, plays in the theater and acts in films. So, fans of the charming musician could see him in the TV series "Tatiana's Night".

Julia Buzhilova

Yulia Buzhilova, unlike other manufacturers, instead of cheap shocking, love scenes and constant scandals, chose the image of a mysterious and mysterious singer

The producers predicted a great future for Yulia Buzhilova, and numerous fans enthusiastically listened to her songs. Surprisingly, after the end of the project, the girl disappeared. No one has ever heard the new songs of the talented singer. It is known that Julia got married and became a mother. The girl did not pursue her solo career, but wrote songs to other artists, for example, Vike Daineko and the Fabrika group.

Alexander Astashenok

We remember Alexander Astashenok as one of the members of the popular group "Roots"

Another member of the group "Roots" left the team after the departure of Pavel Artemiev. Alexander did not connect his future with music, so he entered GITIS and began working in the theater. So, in the production "Until death do us part …" Alexander could be seen together with his friend Pavel Artemiev. Astashenok actively acts in films and works on television. So, the former manufacturer played in the film "Still Alive" and the TV series "Closed School". Today Alexander continues to study music, but writes songs not to himself, but to other performers, acting as a composer and producer.

Sati Casanova

Sati Casanova left the Fabrika group in 2010, but at the same time remained under the tutelage of Igor Matvienko in her solo career

Sati Casanova was distinguished not only by her talent, but also by her difficult character. Because of the singer's antics, conflicts often occurred in the Fabrika group. Perhaps it was for this reason that the girl left the team and took up a solo career. It is known that Sati Casanova became a vegetarian and devoted her life to spiritual practices and yoga. The singer can often be seen at social events, so it cannot be said that Sati fell out of the cage. As for the personal life of the former manufacturer, in 2017 she married an Italian photographer and played four weddings at once.

Alexander Berdnikov

Alexander Berdnikov was lucky and took first place in the Star Factory project as part of the Roots group

The spectacular gypsy guy once broke many women's hearts. Alexander remained loyal to the group "Roots" and still performs with Alexei Kabanov and Dmitry Pakulichev, who joined the team in 2010. Alexander Berdnikov is married to a gypsy Olga, with whom he has four children. It is known that the singer proposed to his future wife two months after they met, and the wedding took place according to gypsy customs.

Alexey Kabanov

Alexey Kabanov remained in the group "Roots" and today he successfully performs on many Russian stages

Alexey Kabanov sang a duet with Maria Alalykina several times, and many fans of the musicians hoped that they would have an affair, but this did not happen. Like Alexander Berdnikov, Alexey Kabanov remained in the Korni group, and today the trio continues to perform on stage. As a womanizer, Alexei often changed his friends, but in 2013 he married a modest girl Rosalia Konoyan. Soon the couple had a daughter. Kabanov's marriage was not smooth, because due to the communication of the singer with the fans of his spouse, he made scandals for him. The girl even decided to take part in the "Dom-2" project, but she quickly returned home and peace was established between the spouses.

Alexandra Savelieva

Alexandra Savelyeva not only sings on stage, but also acts as a presenter

Long-legged and blonde Sasha Savelyeva was considered by many to be the most beautiful participant in the "Star Factory". Then the girl was lucky enough to get into the popular group "Factory". In 2010, Sasha married the popular Russian actor Kirill Safronov, and in 2019 the couple had a son, Leon. At the same time, the singer announced that she was leaving the Fabrika group and would pursue a solo career.

Irina Toneva

Ira Toneva is one of the few who were lucky to get into the original composition of the Fabrika group

Ira Toneva is the only contestant who has remained faithful to the Fabrika group. The girl also managed to try herself as a movie actress, but she got episodic roles. Today Ira not only sings in the Fabrika group, but is also building a solo career in parallel. In 2017, the singer married a choreographer from Ukraine, with whom she even managed to record a joint song "Find Your Own".

Star Factory is one of the most successful projects on Russian television. The competition opened up new performers, many of whom were indeed very talented. Then the young musicians immediately became the favorites of millions of TV viewers, but their fates were different. Some managed to build a successful career, the audience lost interest in the latter, and still others abandoned their fame and returned to a quiet measured life.
