From the age of 14, Maxim actively begins to take part in various music competitions, for example, Teen Star and Nefertiti's Necklace, and also begins to write songs. The first were the compositions "Alien" and "Winter", which were included on the disc "My Paradise".
It is worth noting that the musical preferences of the future celebrity were very diverse. As the singer Maxim herself admits, she listened to everything - from "Spleen" to "Guests from the Future". However, the singer's preferences were also influenced by the music that her father listened to - these are The Beatles and Pink Floyd. And besides this, the girl spent a lot of time in the company of her brother and constantly listened to courtyard music.
The beginning of MakSim's career
At the age of 15, Maxim had already firmly decided that she would become a singer and began to take her first career steps. At studios in her hometown, the girl collaborates with the Pro-Z group and records her first songs Start, Alien and Passer-by. The first song becomes a number one hit in Tatarstan, played on local radio and in all clubs.And after some time it gets into the “Russian Top Ten”, although the then popular “t.A.T.u.” were declared by the authors. according to the singer herself, she wrote this song long before the group appeared.
Singer Maxim begins to engage in her own promotion. The girl records songs as part of a low-budget project and collaborates with little-known bands.
And the radio gets Maxim's single "Difficult Age", however, it does not have such success as the second one - "Tenderness". A year later, the composition "Centimeters of Breath" hits the air. Suddenly, the song becomes popular. And this despite the fact that there was no promotional company. However, despite such success, the name of the singer is still not known to the general public.
The singer decides to go to Moscow. In the capital, the girl begins to write new songs. By the way, they say that at first the singer Maxim performed in the subway.

The unexpected success of the singer Maxim
Maxim collected enough material for the album and began to look for a company that would agree to work with her.“Once I unexpectedly arrived at a dance festival in St. Petersburg and saw that the song “Difficult Age” was being sung by 15 thousand people with me. With this video, I came to the Gala Records company - it was already obvious to the management that this was perceived positively by people, ”recalls singer Maxim.
Maksim - Do you know
This is how the first album of the singer “Difficult Age” appears, the hallmarks of which were the songs “Become the Wind”, “Do You Know?” and "Let go." And the song “Tenderness” gets to the first place of the chart of the “Russian Radio “Golden Gramophone” and stays there for 9 weeks. By the way, in the first few weeks, more than 200 thousand records of the artist were bought and the album becomes platinum.

And by the end of the year, the material for the second disc, which became a diamond, is already being completely recorded. By the way, it also included two old compositions - "Alien" and "Winter". The fans perceive the first single of the album "My Paradise" with a bang, and the video becomes popular and in demand on television.
MakSim - Stamps
“Unlike “Difficult Age”, where there were only two songs about me, and the rest were all sorts of observational situations, in the new album I sing only to myself. That is, it is autobiographical. It contains all my emotions - from panicky fun to tearful sadness - over the last two years of my life, ”says Marina.
Critics noted that the new album sounds much better than the debut, moreover, more sincere and warm. However, opinions were also expressed that there were too few hits on the disc.
The artist admits that before the release of the album, she experienced the so-called “second album syndrome”. The girl was afraid that the disc would not be as successful as the first one.
For the first time, singer Maksim plans to perform at the Olimpiysky. The question is being raised in the press - will the singer gather such a huge hall. Contrary to popular belief, the site was sold out - more than 18 thousand people came to the performance.

MakSim's personal life
In mid-2008, information appears that Maxim is pregnant. Representatives of the singer do not comment on the rumors, however, the release of the song "Best Night" confirms the veracity of the assumptions. And in the video for the composition, the girl appears already with a rounded tummy. This single again storms the top of the charts, and the singer becomes the most rotated in Russia in 2008.According to unverified reports, in October 2008, Maxim on the Indonesian island of Bali marries sound engineer Alexei Lugovtsev. The singer herself comments on changes in her personal life rather reservedly. On March 8, 2009, Maxim gives birth to a daughter, whom she names Alexandra. Immediately after that, the song “I won’t give it back” appears on the radio. And again the single is waiting for success.
A few months later, the song “Lonely” from the upcoming album of the same name hits the Internet. The composition shocks fans with its content. A young mother, in particular, sings: "I'll sit at home - it's better to smoke, I'll smoke." The girl began to be accused of promoting drugs. However, the artist herself again decided to remain silent.
Six months after the birth of their daughter, Marina Abrosimova and Alexei Lugovtsev celebrated their wedding and got married. The church rite was held in the capital's church of All Saints. Singer Maxim, despite the status of a young mother and newly-made wife, continues to work actively. And already in early December 2009, the singer will present her third album "Single". Two months later, the disc topped the Russian chart.
By the way, following the results of 2010, Maksim received quite a few awards. Among them are VOIS (“All-Russian Organization of Intellectual Property”) and “Golden Phonogram” for album circulation and song rotation on the radio.
However, in 2010, the artist presented only two songs “Rain” and “My answer is Yes!”. In December of the same year, information appeared that Maxim and the father of her child were getting a divorce. The news was confirmed a couple of months later. After that, the singer said that she had no plans to release the fourth album in a row and was just writing songs.
Soon after the divorce, a new love came into the personal life of the singer MakSim - to the lead singer of the famous St. Petersburg rock band Animal Jazz Alexander Krasovitsky. They became close while working on the video and at first hid their relationship for a long time, but rumors soon appeared that Marina settled with Alexander in his Moscow apartment. The novel did not last long.
On October 29, 2014, MakSim gave birth to her second daughter, Maria, from businessman Anton Petrov. In September 2015, it became known that MakSim broke up with her second common-law husband.
"Tender May" number two
In a very short period of time, Maxim was able to become one of the most popular performers not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries. The girl developed her own unique style, and thanks to her perseverance and work, she was recognized as the most successful singer in the country in the first decade of the 21st century. 
The artist is already being called a pop princess and the best-selling performer in Russia. And many media outlets drew a parallel between Maxim and the Laskovy May group, which was insanely popular in the early 90s. This is because there are many lyrical and touching songs in the girl's work.
At the end of July, the daughter of the singer MakSim Masha will be 9 months old. The artist never showed the baby, carefully protecting her from prying eyes. StarHit was the first to take a picture of the family on a walk.
Last Tuesday, around noon, MakSim, with 6-year-old Sasha and little Masha, went for a walk in a park in the west of Moscow. The singer was brought by a driver in a white Mercedes. He helped to get and unfold the carriage and waited at the gate. For about an hour the family walked leisurely around a small pond. All this time, Masha behaved calmly, smiling broadly, looking at the birds and trees. The baby looks like both parents - her eyes, her nose she got from her dad - businessman Anton Petrov, and her blond hair, smile
- from Mom. Sitting on the veranda of a summer cafe, the singer ordered ice cream for herself and her eldest daughter, and fed the youngest porridge from a spoon. Sasha volunteered to help her mother. “She is a real older sister,” MakSim told StarHit in a recent interview. - When Masha was born, I thought that she would quickly get tired of babysitting. How! Sasha can run in the middle of the night and see if everything is all right with Mashenka. Loves her madly. Takes on hands. Kisses the legs and arms. Helps to bathe, sings lullabies to her. I spent about two hours in MakSim Park with my daughters. Passers-by said that Marina often walks here with her children - both girls love this place.
Marina loves her family for everything and despite the lack of time, she constantly visits her.
The MakSim family lives in Kazan. Parents work, and brother Maxim lives with his family and child. But let's talk about everything in order ...
Mother: Svetlana Viktorovna
Marina's mother brings up the kids in a kindergarten, where Marina and her brother Maxim spent their childhood. Marina loves her mother with all her heart and thanks her for teaching her to always be herself. However, in adolescence, Marina, like all other girls at her age, had disagreements with her mother, but the harmful Marina always won, and if not, she did it out of spite. For example, as Svetlana says, her daughter made her tattoo to spite her. “At first, her brother made a tattoo, and we talked a lot with him on this topic, scolding him for what he had done. Marina immediately stood up for her brother, and the next day she had a tattoo of this cat on her arm,” says Marina’s mother. Svetlana Viktorovna always worried that Marina did not have serious relationships and novels. And in general, according to Svetlana, Marina is not an amorous person. By the way, with regard to MakSim's career, the singer's mother always wanted Marina to become a lawyer.
Father: Sergey Orefevich
Marina's father works as an auto mechanic and has been happily married for 28 years. If we talk about character, then we can safely say that MakSim is daddy's daughter, because Marina's character is very similar to the character of her dad. Sergey says that his wife Svetlana always wanted their daughter Marina to be feminine, and her father did not worry about it and believed that growing up like a kid was not bad at all either. His son and Marina's brother, Maxim, could climb the rope anywhere at the age of three. Marina was the same. “I couldn’t sit still. And her hobbies were not girlish, ”says Sergey. Unlike Svetlana, Marina's mother, Sergey was never a strict father, so Marina always knew that if dad was at home, then you can have fun. And father MakSim always protected his daughter and never doubted that Marina would achieve a lot in the future!
Brother: Maxim Sergeevich
As a child, Marina followed her brother Maxim as if she was attached, and his friends simply called her Max. Maxim always loved and supported his sister, despite the fact that in childhood they often quarreled and did not get along with each other. When Marina was still very young, Maxim always took her to karate lessons, and then picked her up and escorted her home. Marina almost always hung out on the street only with her brother. She talked with his friends and sang along with them on the street songs with a guitar. But unlike the always cheerful and active sister, Maxim is calmer by nature. At the moment, Maxim lives with his wife and child, but never forgets about his younger sister. For example, when Marina won one of her awards, Maxim called her before everyone else and congratulated her beloved sister on her victory from the heart. By the way, Marina says that Maxim hangs posters around the apartment with the image of his sister, and also collects various articles.
First husband: Alexey Lugovtsov
Originally from the Moscow region, the city of Zhukovsky. At one time he lived and studied in St. Petersburg. When MakSim came to perform, he decided to go to a concert. I arrived early, met the director and found out that the group needed a sound director. Without hesitation, he offered himself and received a positive response. A little later, Marina and Alexey began to meet, but they did not advertise their relationship. The reason for legalizing the relationship was pregnancy, which became known a little later. The wedding process took place in Indonesia on the island of Bali in a very romantic setting. Later, the couple got married in the church. They decided not to hold “magnificent” celebrations - the wedding dress was ordered from a familiar designer Shura Tumashova, and only relatives, close friends and OK! magazine were among the guests. The wedding took place in the Church of All Saints in Krasnoselsky Lane on the last fine day of October. From the church, the newlyweds went to the Luzhkov Bridge near Bolotnaya Square, where, according to tradition, they hung a padlock on the “tree of love”, and threw the key to it into the Moscow River. We ended the day at the "Sorry, Babushka" club, where Marina and Aleksey sang songs and played the guitar."
Daughter of Alexander
March 8, 2009 at 22:49 in the capital's Family Planning Center MakSim gave birth to a daughter named Alexandra. Height - 51 cm, weight - 3 kg 100 gr. According to MakSim, she never dreamed of children, but when Sasha was born, Marina simply stuck to her and could not come off. When the singer has to go on tour, her father, Alexei Lugovtsov, looks after her daughter. MakSim's parents come to visit them once a month and also help with the baby. "They pamper her terribly!" Marina says. According to her, the girl is all in her dad. “She doesn’t like falling asleep to lullabies. On the contrary, it starts to hang out! says the young mother.
Daughter Maria
She was born on October 29, 2014. The birth went well, so the artist did not linger in a medical facility and hurried home. At one of the most popular among domestic celebrities of the Moscow maternity hospital, Marina was met by her relatives.
Singer Maxim, who is now expecting her second child, said that this pregnancy is very different from the first. Carrying her daughter Sasha five years ago, the singer toured for a long time and experienced all the pluses and minuses of her condition. The expectant mother then was very worried for any reason and constantly tugged at the attending physician with questions like "Do I need to buy an oxygen canister to breathe fresh air." Now everything goes smoothly, without anxiety.
In addition, Maxim realized that she did not take care of either herself or Sasha at all. “A little man lived in me, but she jumped, jumped around the stage, tormented her for some reason,” the artist said in an interview with OK! magazine. But the love of extreme sports still makes itself felt. The expectant mother said that the other day she drove into a ditch on an ATV, and now she is covered in bruises. When asked how the young man Maxim allowed her to get on this unreliable vehicle, she answered as follows: “Grumbling, of course, like a leaky heating pad, but he didn’t see it.”
The artist said that she basically does not want to name her current companion, but does not deny that he is a serious businessman and is far from the world of show business. Maxim says that for her he is a person from another planet, and in everything - "starting with the daily routine, where everything is clearly regulated, and ending with responsibility for every word spoken."
The singer emphasizes that now she is experiencing a feeling of calm and confidence, which she never had before. “It is such happiness to see a person nearby who is stronger than you, but who at the same time does not crush with his power, but commands you with internal forces. Every time I thank God that they still give me this feeling of unconscious, causeless happiness, ”notes Marina Maksimova.
The singer is so absorbed in her current state that she does not care if she is expecting a boy or a girl, and what her future with the child's father will be. “I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, I don’t have a sense of stability, but maybe I don’t need it now,” the artist answers the question of whether they are going to get married.
Maxim does not admit how long they are together with the father of her unborn child. However, a year ago, the artist said that her boyfriend, 41-year-old frontman of the Animal Jazz group Alexander Krasovitsky proposed to her. Now the singer assures that she already understood then that in the end she would not marry him. Maxim says that they had a relationship with Krasovitsky, like between best friends.
In the current relationship, everything is different. “I fell in love, and the feeling that for the first time ..., - says Maxim, - I suddenly caught myself thinking that I began to obey my beloved man, I became a domestic cat.”
As previously reported by StarHit, the baby will be born. The father of the future baby, businessman Anton Petrov, protects his beloved in every possible way.
Regularly singer MakSim (real name Marina Maksimova) pleases numerous subscribers with publications that she makes on her official page on the social network Instagram. The artist uploads photos and videos dedicated to the details of her public and private life.

Marina also publishes footage showing her eldest daughter Alexandra. But for some reason, the singer does not show a photo of the youngest heiress of Mary. Numerous subscribers were literally at a loss as to why, and finally Marina decided to explain her decision.
In an interview with the program "OK in touch!" Maksimova said that her father, businessman Anton Petrov, insisted on the absolute privacy of Maria's life. “I show my youngest daughter a little, because it was the wish of the pope. We respect this wish and go forward. When she herself wants and asks to appear somewhere, we will think about it. While we have adults decide,” the singer said .
Marina noted that her girls are very different. "The little daughter is completely creative, and she sings very loudly. She studies English closely, speaks the same English and Russian. She sings for the whole house, it's very fun, even the teachers laugh. Sasha is a more thoughtful girl, more serious. Well, and she feels responsible. She is a real older sister - the kind that they write about in books, "said the artist.
Despite the young age of Alexandra and Maria, Marina is already loading them with various activities. “It always seems to me that I give them too little education, although everyone who sees how much they are doing says: “Well, give the children a rest!” A person must adapt to be constantly busy, and then he does not have enough time be lazy," Marina Maksimova is sure.
We will remind, civil husband MakSim Anton Petrov married another. The businessman left the artist for the student Elizaveta Bryksina. The fact that the civil spouse of the singer has another woman became known thanks to social networks. In her account, Elizaveta Bryksina romantically wrote: "How quickly time flies ... It's been a year with you," accompanying the post with a corresponding picture. It is difficult to imagine what a shock the artist experienced when she found out that her beloved was spending evenings with another, especially considering that she was expecting a child from Anton - she was seven months pregnant.
When journalists contacted Marina to find out the details, she did not deny it. “Unfortunately, we could not become a family, what to hide. Life is unpredictable. Love passes. Let him be happy,” MakSim admitted sadly.
