Biography:

Russia's new sex symbol and one of the only few Eastern European artists to ever achieve success outside of his home country, SERGEY started his international career as one half of Smash!!, Russia's most successful boy band.

Following in the footsteps of their Universal Music labelmates Tatu and managed by Simon Napier-Bell, who has in the 80's brought Wham! to worldwide superstardom, Smash!! have achieved immense success throughout Asia and several European markets shortly before they split up in 2005 only one week after the release of their second album.

Since then, SERGEY's solo career has been remarkably successful and has afforded him a rare opportunity to work with some of the world's top songwriters and producers including Brian Rawling, Paul Barry (Cher - Believe/Strong Enough, Enrique Iglesias, Ronan Keating, Lara Fabian), Pete Martin (Sugarbabes) and Rob Davis (Spiller - Groovejet, Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head). SERGEY's remix collaborations include such major names as Metro, Buzz Junkies, Agent X, Sec0ndSkin, Stonebridge, Kid 79 and Groove Brothers.

SERGEY is the only other artist picked by 2Point9 Management - the managers of this year's sensation Jay Sean - whose previous credits include working with Craig David. This year, SERGEY has a relevant and dynamic team behind him for the international launch in early 2009 with the new album currently being recorded in London.
