It’s hard for the boy to even just stand on stage, he can hardly, overcoming pain, move on crutches, and he can stand only with additional support. There are almost no bones in his fingers: playing the synthesizer is also not easy for him. However, Daniil managed to maintain a sincere faith in life and craving for it, at the competition he did everything possible to perform.
Danya got into the team of Dima Bilan: the novice performer himself chose a mentor. The boy is from Sochi, and after winning the show, the mayor of the city gave him an apartment.

Spring 2016 for the young but already famous singer Sabina Mustaeva, who won the 2nd season of the Voice. Children,” began with a jazz concert she gave at the Mark Weil Ilkhom Theater on March 1. There were much more spectators eager to get to the concert than a small theater hall could accommodate, so on March 15 the jazz evening was repeated. And again, not all fans of the young talent were able to attend the concert. Yielding to the wishes of the public, on March 29, Sabina will enter the Ilkhom venue for the third time with the solo program My favorite songs, presenting her favorite songs to the public - from jazz classics to modern pop music in jazz arrangement.Meeting Navruz in the mountain restaurant Cinara "s (Chinaras), where the festival of French cuisine and music was held, Sabina sang songs in French in his program and responded to a request to give an exclusive interview to the readers of the News of Uzbekistan newspaper.
- Sabina, congratulations on a wonderful holiday, on which you give music to your fans. In the first month of spring, you give your first solo concerts in Ilkhom. What was this event for you?
- The first solo concerts are a great experience in my creative career. I am learning how to work with the audience, how to behave during the performance, how to react to the audience and follow what is happening to me with my voice. All these points are very important and I try to take them into account and improve. For me, each concert is a kind of school, but it still gives the audience energy and gives strength and self-confidence. But the concerts at Ilkhom are not just my solo performances. They are part of a large musical project, the author of the idea and the producer of which is the head of the Ilkhom Jazz Club, Saidmurat Muratov. He, like me, cannot imagine life without jazz, which has long entered the musical culture of many peoples and is becoming more and more popular in Uzbekistan every year. According to the project, jazz evenings will be held every month, where not only mature, but also young musicians will be able to show their talents. The guests of such evenings will also be jazzmen from the USA, Europe, CIS countries, who will perform in joint projects with our musicians and hold master classes. So, jazz fans are in for a lot of pleasant surprises, one of the brightest is the II International Jazz Festival, which will be attended by musicians from France and the USA, Latvia and Turkey.
- For the second year I have been listening to you with pleasure at the festival in Chinaras. Do you have to work on holidays?
Sabina with her mother Victoria Mustayeva at a party in "Chinaras"
- It is a pleasure for me to visit Chinaras, take part in a French-style festival, plunge into chanson, carnival atmosphere, learn the highlights of French cuisine and taste dishes unusual for our taste - all this, of course, is cool. I am pleased to be invited to such festivals. I came with my mother, and not only to sing, but also to enjoy the holiday together with everyone and get some experience in communication. It's so good here - people come with their families to the mountains, to nature - everyone is smiling, flowers and music are all around, the accordion sounds, multilingual speech is heard everywhere.
- Have you been performing French songs for a long time?
Perhaps the third year, but I have been listening to it for a very long time. In this genre, there are popular and well-performing singers to look up to and who give me strength. For example, Indila. The name of the singer is little known to us, although it has been heard for four years. Indila has been writing poetry since early childhood and writing the lyrics for her songs herself, and the music is created by a fairly well-known author. The Indila family has Algerian, Egyptian, Cambodian, Indian roots. But she is a real Parisian, even born in Paris, although she calls herself a "child of the world." She has very interesting vocals and I like how she works with melismatics. The first time I heard it, I just fell into a stupor - in a good way. . The composition, which I really liked, I performed in the program of the evening in Chinaras.
- What is your favorite genre?
Of course it's jazz. I was raised on it. My grandfather is a jazz musician Bulat Mustaev, he is a saxophonist. I have always been interested in listening to this music, and I have been singing since I was two years old. Now I also sing rock, moreover, classical - Queen, Scorpions, The Beatles. Pop music is temporary for me, most likely, in my life I will be with jazz. He is the foundation of my future.
- How are you doing with your studies? I heard you're doing great in two schools!
This year I am graduating from a secondary school and at the same time from the school of music and arts No. 1 named after Sadykov. She also took up ballroom dancing. I have excellent teachers. In addition, I had the good fortune to meet and work with a wonderful teacher - Valentina Sergeevna Martirosyan - thank you very much! I have been with her for five years and she has taught me a lot. The main thing for me is music. I haven't decided yet where I'm going to go. Although my parents ask where I would like to go to study. I dreamed of getting into Berkeley, a music college in Boston. It was my dream. But now the interests have changed - such an age! - and I'm still thinking about where it's better to do. Maybe it won’t work to go abroad to study - I don’t know for sure yet. I have a family that I love very much, I have sisters Amina and Yasmina, I really trust my relatives and I think they will help me make a choice and support my desires.
You will soon be sixteen - the spring of life. Do you really care about nothing but the love of music? And how can you fill a love song with feeling if you haven't felt it?
Yes, I will be 16 on June 16th. I haven't had a boyfriend yet and all these other love affairs. I'm just looking at the love song artist - what a path he had. And I think about the words. Everything is there in words, and I imagine a picture, some kind of image through which I can convey feelings. That is, I have some associations.
- That is, you still experienced love internally? But are you being ignored?
Yes, you can say that internally I understand the feeling of love. But I think it's too early to fall in love myself ... Yes, of course, I have many friends and they take care of me. They offered to meet, but I refused. Until I need it. In the first place for me, family and music is everything.
At our age, there is no concept of love. That is, you do not experience those feelings that you can feel as an adult. Teenagers are all different. Some have interests… Well, you understand. And you can't take those feelings seriously. What does it mean to date a boy? Go for a walk? You can’t grow up too early, I am categorically against early relationships and marriages. You need to live the allotted time of childhood and youth, get an education and reach the age when you can be aware of taking such a serious step. I think I will be ready for it only after 24 years. I don't think about it yet. Let my life go the way it goes. I don't want to make plans for thirty or forty years. It is more interesting to live today.
- You are a very serious girl, but a smiling person. What do you sing when you are happy or sad?
I sing everything, absolutely everything, if I'm having fun. And when I'm sad, I just listen to music. Classics - sometimes Beethoven, more often Chopin, whose music I love the most, it conveys everything that the composer put into it, what I myself feel. Even if there are no words, you can understand what the music is about.
- That is, the classics educates and nourishes you. What about jazz?
Jazz is also a drink. Jazz is everything in my life. If it wasn't for jazz, I wouldn't be the way I am.
- What do you wish your audience, who are looking forward to your next performance?
I want them to live the songs. Personally, I love to live the moments that the song is about. For example, a song about the loss of a loved one. I'm trying to put the picture in my head, to survive it, to think about it, to listen and sing. People need to listen to really good music. Pop music has moved away from the song framework, and now it is often unclear what is being sung. And you need to cultivate musical taste. What will our children be like? It is not known what they will listen to. It's terrible if they only listen to pop music. It happens and cool, but in most cases - wrong.
- Do you see yourself in any new musical project?
Not yet. Today I have all thoughts about studying. Now this is the main thing. I'm not chasing fame. Participation in the television project “Voice. Children ”it turned out as if by itself. We went there to see what kind of project, we wanted to get a new experience. But I am glad that I met people like Maxim Fadeev and other mentors.
Competition is not the most important thing in life. If you haven't been noticed, then so be it. Fate has already decided what you will be.
But before the victory in the "Voice ..." were there others? domestic and international prizes: "Grand Prix" in the competition "Gifted children" in 2011 in Tashkent, "Star Crimea" in 2012. In addition, you are the winner of the Republican competition of academic variety performance and received third place in the competition "New Wave-2013" .
- I did not refuse to participate in competitions. In addition to the ones you mentioned, I took part in the Song of Warsaw competition, it was held at a summer youth camp in Poland, and I represented Polonia of Uzbekistan at it, and won first place. Soon we will go to Latvia, where there will be a jazz competition. But not in order to get a prize and become famous. It is important for me to get a new experience of working with professionals. This is exactly what you want. There will be such people with whom I would certainly like to work. In the meantime, I am happy to perform in the Ilkhom Jazz Club project. The program is interesting, besides me, special guests participate in it: my grandfather Bulat Mustaev, saxophone, and also my teacher Valentina Martirosyan - vocals. The public welcomes us warmly.
- Otherwise it can not be. And yet - success! See you again.

A lot of time has passed since the completion of the project. What are you planning to do next?
After the victory in the project, a lot of new and interesting events took place. I go to concerts with other participants, and as a prize for winning, together with Universal, I recorded the song "Let's give the globe to children." I also participated in the LEGO project ® Friends "School of pop stars", where the guys themselves composed their own songs and came up with stage images, and I shared tips with them. Especially for the School of Pop Stars, I recorded video tutorials in which I told how to write a text, prepare for a speech, and much more. Based on the results of all stages, five winners will be selected who will star in the video for my single and will be able to perform on the big stage. It's also an interesting experience for me because it will be my very first music video.
When did you feel your popularity and do you feel it now?
Yes, I became more famous after the project. It's very nice, but now I have a big responsibility, I just can't let down my friends and fans who cheered for me in The Voice. When, after blind auditions, a huge number of positive reviews appeared, and the views of my performance increased every day, then I think that's when I realized that this is it - popularity.
What lessons have you learned for yourself while participating in the TV show?
During the project, I realized that, firstly, you need to be honest with yourself and with the viewer, all emotions and feelings should come from the heart. You have to be very hardy and hardworking, because the filming schedule is very heavy, sometimes we finished well after midnight. And the last thing is, probably, love for singing, for your favorite business. All this helped me in the TV project.
What is the most valuable advice Maxim Fadeev gave you?
Maxim Fadeev always says that you need to sing with your heart and soul. I am grateful to him for the advice, which I try to follow.
Do you communicate with other members of the "Voice"?
We communicate with all the guys, every time I look forward to a new meeting with them. The friendship that we have found is very valuable to me.
I don't want to be like anyone. I'm trying to find something of my own and be individual. There are artists who amaze with their skill, talent and diligence. Among them are many Western vocalists who have reached the world level. I love listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Beyoncé, Farrell and others.
What are your hobbies besides singing, how do you spend your free time?
I study in a regular school and, like all teenagers, I like to spend time with friends, go to the cinema, roller-skate. Sometimes, when I have inspiration, I draw. But singing and singing is my main business. I sing always and everywhere.
What can you advise future "little stars"?
I was on the set of the blind auditions for the third season of The Voice. Children" as a reporter. Of course, I wished all the guys to get together and overcome their excitement (although oh, how difficult it is!). The main thing is to show yourself real, and then the viewer will hear you.
