Arkhipov Roman Igorevich
Date of birth: 09.11.1984
Place of birth: Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod).
In 1991, at the age of seven, he moved with his parents to Moscow, where he lives to this day.
He graduated from Moscow school No. 534, while mastering the 11th grade program on his own, having passed the exams as an external student.
From the age of six he studied at the music school in the piano class.
After school, he dreamed of entering the law faculty at the FSB Academy, but did not pass for health reasons. He entered the Faculty of International Relations of the Moscow University for the Humanities and in June 2006 received a diploma in the specialty "Regional Studies".
During his student years, he lived and studied in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA for about a year.
Roman has been fond of rock music since childhood. Favorite bands and artists include Deep Purple, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Nazareth, White Snake, Velvet Revolvers, Guns'n'Roses, Alice Cooper, Gotthard, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Maroon 5. Of the classics, he prefers Mozart, especially the late one.
Once at the "Star Factory", Roma said that he was going to bring "heavier notes" to the project. And this applies not only to the "factory" format - Roman is convinced that rock music should finally take its rightful place on the national stage. This is what he is going to devote his creative career to.
Roman learned the intricacies of show business from the age of six, having traveled all over the country in Tatyana Ovsienko's touring group, the director of which is his father. It is not surprising that, constantly rotating in a creative environment, communicating with singers and musicians, Roma himself studied music and sang a lot from childhood.
Breaking the voice at a transitional age, studying in high school and the hassle associated with preparing to enter the university, for some time pushed the dreams of the stage into the background. But at the age of 17, during a trip to America, Roman returned to music again.
Since then, the stage has become an integral part of his life. He works as a bass player at the concerts of Tatyana Ovsienko, starred in the video "Summer" for her duet with Viktor Saltykov. Being a member of the student council of the Faculty of International Relations of Moscow State University, he met the head of the creative group Tamara Alexandrovna Rusakova and became a regular participant in university concerts.
Realizing the need to gain experience on the professional stage, Roman takes part in the casting of the Star Factory project three times. And at the beginning of 2006, luck smiled at him on this path: he was among the "manufacturers" of the sixth convocation - Viktor Drobysh's wards.
The four months spent on the project became not only a landmark, but also an unusually productive period in Roman's creative career. At first, he did not look too confident against the background of his neighbors in the Star House, many of whom had considerable stage experience and special vocal education even before joining the project. However, thanks to his talent and hard work, he managed not only not to get lost in their background, but also to make a big qualitative breakthrough both in vocal terms and in terms of emancipation on stage, opening up from a new side and gaining professionalism from concert to concert.
There are four solo songs in his “factory” piggy bank - a record that not a single participant of Factory-6 could beat, as well as duets with Vladimir Kuzmin (“Pier of Your Hope”) and Alexander Ivanov (“Dreams”), Sergey Trofimov ( “Wind in the Head”) and Oleg Gazmanov (“Rehearsal of Separation”), Valeria (“Black and White Color”) and Abraham Russo (“Through Love”), Andrei Sapunov (“The Ring”) and Alexei Belov (“Tell Me Why »); with groups "Roots" ("25th floor"), "Earthlings" ("Borsalino"), "Tokyo" ("Who am I without you"), "City 312" ("Out of Access Area") and Gotthard ("Heaven" ). In addition, in many numbers, Roman played the guitar, participated in extras and backing vocals, and also sang as part of a group that later became known as Chelsea. One of the solo songs - "Me and You" - even before the end of the project, got into the rotation of "Russian Radio" and a number of other radio stations.
No matter what Roman sang at the "Factory" - pop or chanson - he did not try to copy the manner and style of popular performers, remaining true to his idea to add "heavier notes" to the project format. However, to the greatest extent, he managed to reveal himself in rock-format numbers. Already his first rock duet with the Swiss band Gotthard for the song "Heaven" brought Roman recognition from the audience of Channel One and MTV. For eight weeks, the duo occupied the first line of the MusicBox charts, for which Roman was awarded a personalized disc. The Gotthard musicians themselves were so pleased with the result that they invited Roman to repeat their joint performance at the Tochka club, and also presented him with one of their songs (“Lift U Up”), which he performed on the factory stage as a second solo number.
After such success, the leader of the Gorky Park group, Alexei Belov, drew attention to the young rock performer, who wrote the compositions “I Will Not Forget” and “Forgive” especially for Roman. With the latter, Roman left the Star Factory just before the final. But this departure was not a defeat! “But rock is still alive!” - he said in his farewell speech, confirming that he managed to accomplish his plan - to break the pop format of the project. This is confirmed by the songs of the Gotthard group, with which it was Roman Arkhipov (and not the finalists of the project) who closed the final concert at the Olimpiysky.
After the end of the project, Roman, like other "manufacturers", signs a contract with the production center of Viktor Drobysh and goes on the Star Factory - 6 tour as a member of the Chelsea group. In addition to him, the team includes Arseny Borodin, Denis Petrov and Alexei Korzin. The group quickly gains popularity, their songs occupy the top of the charts. The fateful year of 2006 "Chelsea" is completed in the title of "best group of the year", having in their luggage the "Golden Gramophone" for the song "Alien Bride", the video for the song "The Most Beloved" and the debut album, which included their songs from the time of the "Star Factory" ”, including the first solo number of the novel “Me and you”.
Currently, the group is active in concert, working on a new album, collaborating with popular Russian performers (in particular, with Philip Kirkorov).
However, despite the success of the group, Roman still dreams of a solo career and plans to create his own rock project.
He loves to travel very much. For the first time abroad, he was in 1995 in the United Arab Emirates. This was followed by Greece (Crete), Israel (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem), Italy (Venice, Verona), Egypt, Cyprus (Aionapa), Vietnam. For about a year, Roma lived in the USA (Las Vegas), where he studied and worked part-time in a Russian restaurant. From other countries and cities, she dreams of visiting Paris and South Africa. But to the question “Where would you like to live?” replies firmly: “It’s good to have a rest abroad, go there for a short period of time, but I want to live in Moscow. Well, I basically live here.”
Studying English and Spanish.
In addition to keyboards, he plays bass guitar. According to eyewitnesses, he mastered the drum kit in one night, keeping the dacha village awake until morning.
Favorite animal is the scorpion.
Of the sports prefers tennis. If he has free time, he visits the gym. Dreams of mastering snowboarding or skiing.
Favorite colors are black, white and purple.
He prefers expensive and beautiful branded clothes, although he can turn a jacket purchased on the market into a work of hand-made art by sewing scorpions on it. He likes to combine sports and classic clothes with extravagant elements in a rocker style: a long black raincoat, leather pants, metal bracelets and rings on his hands, massive buckles, inscriptions in the rock and roll spirit. But sometimes it's just unrecognizable! Once, in his 2nd year, Roma, dressed in blue trousers, a women's jacket and with a cigar in his hands, stood in the company of two classmates in front of the Prague Embassy, holding a blue bag from one of them. Men walked past them with an exclamation: “Oooh, girls!”, To which Roma replied indignantly: “What girls!?”.
From birth, Roman is blond with curly hair and categorically does not agree to cut them! Although, there were times when the teenager Roma shaved baldly.
Likes to work in Photoshop. For a while, this hobby even turned into a job.
Roman is a very sociable person, he likes to communicate with a variety of people. He maintains friendly relations with Tatyana Ovsienko and Olga Kormukhina, Alexei Belov and Alexander Erokhin (drummer of Lube), musicians of the Gotthard and Nazareth groups, as well as with many other colleagues in the shop.
He does not like to discuss his personal life. It is only known that he is not married. As far as possible, he takes part in raising his younger brother Nikita, the German shepherd Alice, an angry cat and two squirrels.

Awards
▪ Golden Gramophone Award (with Chelsea, 2006)
The Russian stage is updated so often that it is sometimes difficult to remember an artist who was at the peak of popularity a few months ago. In such conditions, it is difficult for performers to stay afloat, because every day new names appear that are capable of great achievements.
In order to really be remembered by listeners from the good side and not to lose recognition even after leaving the top of the stage, you need to do something unusual, new and of the highest quality. At one time, such music was written by a well-known musical composition - the Chelsea group.
The group was very popular, and the words of their songs sounded in the head of almost every person. Glory came to the guys at a fairly early age, but it cannot be said that they did not deserve it. It all started with the "Star Factory" - a project that gave way to life for a considerable number of young artists, who are still popular to this day.
Then still unknown guys from the provinces gathered under the guidance of an experienced producer Viktor Drobysh, who saw the prospect in them and did not lose. It was he who came up with the idea to unite into one group of people who at first glance do not fit at all with each other, because they were all engaged in different genres of music.
Compound
The composition of the Chelsea group changed only once. The first line-up of the group included four people: Arseny Borodin (17 years old, mainly engaged in soul), Denis Petrov (21 years old, rapped), Alexei Korzin (19 years old, was fond of r "n" b music) and Roman Arkhipov (21 years old, preferred rock music). The Chelsea group assembled the first line-up precisely at the Star Factory. The combination of these young people turned out to be surprisingly successful, and they successfully performed on the project, writing several hits, with which they later went on a tour of Russia, gathering crowds of fans at their concerts.
The composition of the Chelsea group was quite diverse. Each member of the group is talented in its own way and deserves special attention. Therefore, it is worth talking about them in more detail.
Denis Petrov
The official place of birth is a small town called Mozdok. Immediately after his birth, his parents moved to Vladikavkaz, so his childhood and youth were spent there.
The future soloist of the Chelsea group studied at an ordinary gymnasium number 5 in Vladikavkaz. After graduation, he entered the university at the Faculty of Journalism. Denis was actively engaged in this profession for some time. He worked as a correspondent and wrote reports for Vesti.
One of the main hobbies in the artist's life was football. Denis was very active in it, but later he still preferred a musical career.
Speaking about musical interests, it is worth noting Denis Petrov's love for the lead singer of the legendary Queen band Freddie Mercury. The Russian artist considers the British musician the best in the history of music.
Now Denis lives in St. Petersburg, where he moved a long time ago. He is a journalist by education and in the first years of his life in the northern capital he studied at the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University.
After the collapse of the group, Denis Petrov appeared on the big stage more than once, but in a different role. A few years ago, he performed at the Comedy Battle project with his stand-up.
Roman Arkhipov
Roman was born on November 9, 1984 in a small provincial town called Gorky. However, his childhood was mostly spent in Moscow, where he moved with his parents at the age of 7.
Roman was the oldest member of the Chelsea group, at the time of the creation of the team he was 21 years old. But he has always openly stated that he is a fan of rock music and wants to perform in this particular genre. However, in the group he was the vocalist.
The first composition of the group consisted of four people, among whom was Roman. However, it was he who first left the group, after which the composition of the Chelsea group changed, and only three people remained. It was his personal decision. Despite how successful the Chelsea group was, Roman Arkhipov left the squad consciously and on a friendly note.
Arseny Borodin
Arseny was born in the city of Barnaul on December 13, 1988. His father was a fairly well-known musician, so the boy from childhood was surrounded by an atmosphere of music and creativity.
The father gave the boy to the song theater at an early age, which had a significant impact on his musical talent. Singing teachers saw great potential in him, and they did not fail.
Arseniy was the youngest member of the group. At the age of 17, when he was still at school, the future artist decides to take part in the casting for the Star Factory project, which he successfully passes and is among the participants. This marked the beginning of the musical career of Alexei Borodin.
Alexey Korzin
Date of birth - May 18, 1986. His mother insisted on his son's musical career, as his father wanted to send Alexei to the martial arts section. At an early age, the future singer goes to a music school.
As a teenager, Alexei showed his talent more than once, winning various music competitions, but the starting point of his career, like for all members of the group, was the Star Factory project.
The performer's favorite musical instrument is the piano, but he is the vocalist in the group.
Finally
Chelsea is a musical group whose composition was very diverse. This is one of the few teams that managed to achieve real success. "Chelsea" - a group whose photo composition flaunted on many posters and signs throughout Russia. Their songs were played in almost every institution, concerts were attended by thousands of people. Success does not come in vain, which means that the band members are really talented people who know how to make music at a high level.
Roman was born on November 9, 1984 in the city of Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). In 1991 he moved to Moscow with his parents. He lived in the USA for about a year, where he studied and worked part-time in a Russian restaurant.

At the age of 21, he became a member of the Star Factory-6 project, where he had the good fortune to sing a duet with the greatest rock bands such as the Scorpions, Gorky Park, Gotthard. Gotthard also helped Roman record some of his latest compositions.

Roman Arkhipov, member of the Star Factory-6, rock musician, composer. Born in 1984 in Nizhny Novgorod, he is known not only in Russia but also in the USA.
Known not only in Russia but also abroad, rock musician and simply charming guy Roman Arkhipov was born in 1984 in Nizhny Novgorod.
We can say that the guy was partly lucky from birth, because his father was directly related not only to music, but also to show business, he collaborated with Tatyana Ovsienko, acted as a concert director, administrator, and, one might say, knew the specifics of the show from the inside - business.
Childhood and a successful start
From the earliest years, his parents laid in Roman a love of music, fortunately, the soil for this was fertile. The boy showed significant progress, showed interest in other types of activity, playing sports, in particular, playing tennis. He also showed interest in languages, especially English, because a lot of songs, musical compositions of various formats are created by American musicians, and any creative person who expects to conquer solid peaks should be able to convey his creativity to a wide range of people. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that this approach was justified, because later Roman Arkhipov toured the United States, where he gained even more fans.
His hometown is Nizhny Novgorod, but in 1991 his parents decide to move to the capital, because in the metropolis there are more opportunities, prospects for his own career and for the development of his son.
Photo: Roman Arkhipov in his youth Roman successfully studied at a Moscow school, and he managed to finish the 11th grade as an external student, because the young man had big plans for his creative career, and he did not want to spend time at his desk.
From the age of 6, he also attended a music school, thanks to which he skillfully mastered playing the piano, and later on the bass guitar. When it came time to choose a future profession, the choice was not easy. Since the young man was diversified, he first decided to try his hand at the Academy, where future FSB officers are trained. A good level of knowledge, excellent physical fitness allowed him to do this, but, unfortunately, he failed to pass the medical examination. It is not known for certain what in the state of health confused the strict doctors, but the young man had to choose a different path.
Formation
All this time he was engaged in music, perhaps assuming that it would be his hobby, but the main profession would still be different. The young man chose to enter the prestigious Moscow University for the Humanities, having received the specialty "Regional Studies".
He was attracted by other countries, he wanted to expand his capabilities. Fortunately, the parents had the opportunity for this. As a result, during his student years, Roman received a luxurious opportunity to live in the USA for a whole year, learn English, learn a lot of new things for himself.
As the performer recalls, it was America that inspired him to take up music more seriously. He had all the opportunities for this, as well as time. He attended concerts of American colleagues in the shop, imbued with the spirit of American rock, which can be traced in many of his compositions. Staying in America for a year made him self-confident, he became more relaxed, formulated his goals in life. However, despite the fact that subsequently the whole life of Roman Arkhipov was closely connected with the United States, where he repeatedly visited, he never tires of emphasizing that traveling is wonderful, but it is better to live in your own country.
It is known that the musician visited not only the North American continent, but also Africa, the Asian region. He is a traveler through life, and perhaps this helps him find new sources of inspiration for creativity.
"Star Factory" - a new twist
"Star Factory" is a project consisting of several parts. This is perhaps one of the most rated projects of the early 2000s, which can only be compared in popularity with the modern show "Voice", which is based on the same principles: the search and promotion of talents.
Thousands and tens of thousands of teenagers, young people rushed to auditions at the "Star Factory" to prove themselves. Among them was Roman Arkhipov. He failed to pass the first two castings, because despite his talent, he failed to emphasize his zest, individuality and show that he is not only talented, but also different from thousands of other nuggets.
However, this gave him great experience, and on the third attempt he passed the casting, getting into the 6th convocation of the Factory, which was supervised by the famous musician, producer, composer Viktor Drobysh. In total, the stay in this project took the young talent four months, but in terms of the intensity of events and significance, these four months can be compared with the long years of hard work of musicians in an attempt to present their work to a wide circle. The "Factory" really worked wonders and once they got there, people became stars for life.
Formation of a musician
At first, he did not stand out too much against the background of other participants, many of whom had been seriously engaged in vocals for many years, had a specialized musical education. But efficiency, talent performed miracles, and very soon Romance stopped being lost against the background of professionals, he managed to occupy his niche. Fans note that Roman has learned to completely liberate himself on stage and look like a fully formed star of the highest echelon.
He successfully performed songs with Vladimir Kuzmin, Sergey Trofimov, Alexander Ivanov, Valeria, Abraham Russo, with the groups Tokyo, Earthlings, Roots, City 312, and this is not a complete list. Against the background of eminent stars, he did not get lost at all, but he looked organically, naturally, which conquered the demanding public.
Yes, the specifics of the "Star Factory" is that the performers often have to sing the repertoire assigned by the curators. For example, in the vocal piggy bank of Roman Arkhipov there are songs of the chanson and pop genre that are not quite close to him in spirit. But he performed them in his heavy manner, remaining true to musical guidelines.
It was rock performances that became the most successful, especially with the support of such performers as Gotthard, a well-known band from Switzerland. Their joint composition remained at the top of the charts for a long time, and Roman received a personalized disc for this success.
It is interesting that the Swiss musicians themselves liked the cooperation with the young talented performer, they even gave him one of their songs, which he successfully performed at one of the performances at the Factory. The musicians also invited Roman to make a joint tour.
In the project, the performer lasted almost until the very end, leaving it just before the finale. He was pleased with the results, because he managed to prove that such musical competitions look organically with pop-format performers and rock compositions. In addition, the project glorified Roman throughout the country, they began to invite him to concerts, tours to near and far abroad, and Alexei Sibilev, the leader of the cult group Gorky Park, wrote two songs especially for Roman.
Chelsea
Viktor Drobysh invited the performer on a tour and made him a member of the Chelsea group, which included three more talented musicians.
The group instantly gained wild popularity. Each of the musicians had a good voice, charisma, and together they formed an organic tandem.
The group in this composition lasted until 2011, this is another creative step in the development of a talented musician. He invariably brought rock notes to the repertoire, which made the group unique, different from other bands.
solo swimming
Roman Arkhipov never hid that he dreams of a solo career, and it happened. To do this, he moved to the United States, took on a completely new pseudonym Troy Harley. Some sources claim that he permanently resides in Los Angeles, focusing on building a career there. But in other sources, and in accordance with the thoughts expressed by Roman himself in an interview, he still considers Russia to be the best place for creativity.
In fact, the performer lives in two countries, successfully tours the United States and develops a musical career in Russia. It is known that in 2017 he created a new musical project, which he called his name "R.O.M.A.N".
He is a real generator of ideas, energy, versatile interests. Roman notes that he loves to travel very much, loves to visit Italy, Vietnam, Egypt, Israel, Greece. He mastered playing the keyboard and bass guitar, fortunately, the skills received at the music school affected. The singer jokes that he also learned how to play the drum kits, devoting a whole night to this. He played without ceasing and brought terror to the entire holiday village.
Personal life, hobbies and interests
In addition to music, the main hobbies of the performer are tennis, which he has been doing since childhood, and the study of languages: in addition to English, Spanish has also appeared in his asset. Roman likes to visit gyms, he keeps himself in good physical shape. In winter, she loves skiing and snowboarding.
Photo: Roman Arkhipov personal life Much attention is paid to the selection of wardrobe. According to him, he especially loves branded items, hand-made, creative exclusive clothes that you don’t have to buy in expensive boutiques, but can be found in small markets where people sell hand-made. His wardrobe still has a lot of clothes that are associated with rock: leather pants, black raincoats, a lot of jewelry in the form of studded rings, bracelets.
Among fans, he is associated with a blond with long hair, and the performer remains true to this image. Perhaps there is no person who would make him shave off his luxurious golden curls, they surprisingly suit him, organically fitting into the overall image.
And yet, he loves pets, calling the scorpion the most favorite animal. He has a dog, a cat and even squirrels with whom he has found a common language.
The singer knows how to intrigue the public, in particular, he does not talk about his personal life, so it is not surprising that the press with enviable constancy ascribes to him novels with famous singers and actresses. He does not confirm these relations, but he does not refute them either. It is known that he is not married, and the rest of the vicissitudes of his personal life remain a secret for a large army of admirers and admirers.
