“Girlfriend” is the next single to be released from Sergey’s award winning album ‘Tv Show’ and follows on from hot club track “Everytime” which reached #10 in the UK Commercial Pop Club Chart. “Girlfriend” is a funky high energy track which will establish Sergey as Russia’s answer to Mika.

Singer and actor Sergey is one of the biggest artists since Tatu to emerge from Russia. He started his career in a band called Neposedi which also contained Julia and Lena who went on to form Tatu.

In 2000 Sergey entered Moscow’s famous MKHAT theatre school where he created a boy-duet ‘Smash!!’ with childhood friend Vlad Topalov. They were immediately signed by Universal Music Russia, and became one of the brightest Russian pop-wonders in 2002-2003 with FIVE #1 hits, numerous awards and millions of copies sold in Russia, CIS and South East Asia.

Sergey went solo in 2005 alongside Grammy award winning producer Brian Rawling. This collaboration added another edge to Sergey’s music, resulting in his debut solo album ‘Don’t Be Fake’, which was released in Russia and instantly sold more than 300,000 copies which led to the prestigious Russian National Music TV Channel’s MUZ TV Award as “Best New Act” in 2006. He then went onto finish second in the Russian version of Dancing On Ice which cemented his place amongst the leading performers in his home country.

In the UK, Sergey has already made a club impact with his first single and title track from his album, ‘FAKE’, this was released via Eurosolution to UK clubs, debuting on July 30th at #28 in the Commercial Music Club Chart in Music Week, where it spent 7 weeks reaching a high of #14.
