Biography
Evgeny Ivanovich Kemerovo is a Russian singer-chansonnier, author of collections of poems. Evgeny Ivanovich Yakovlev, known under the pseudonym Kemerovo, was born in a small village where miners lived. The artist’s passport says New Town in the Kemerovo region.

Evgeny Kemerovo and his twin brother Alexander
The grandmother provided assistance in raising the boy. An elderly woman taught her grandson to play musical instruments, including piano and guitar. At the age of 14, the talented guy was noticed by representatives of amateur groups. In parallel with this, Evgeniy studied at a music school, which he graduated with honors.
After school, Kemerovo went to conquer the Smolensk Institute of Physical Education and Sports. Here Evgeniy Ivanovich studied freestyle wrestling. The artist graduated from the university as a certified specialist in 1984. In 1988, the singer ended up at the Moscow Academy of Sports, and already in 1991, fate brought Evgeni to Berlin. Abroad, Kemerovo attended the School of Arts, where he studied directing and screenwriting.
Evgeny Kemerovsky in childhood
On December 1, 1992, Evgeniy Ivanovich’s life turned upside down. Twin brother Alexander was killed in a road accident. In the USSR, the man was known as an athlete and freestyle wrestling champion. This event served as a catalyst and led to the work of Kemerovo. To develop his singing talent, Evgeniy began classes with teacher and Honored Worker of Culture of the Russian Federation N.Z. Andrianova.
Abandoned house in Lesnaya Polyana
Location: st. District.
Features: far from the center.
Lesnaya Polyana does not often appear in photographs of Kemerovo residents. But in vain. In our opinion (and that of photographers), the residential area is “untravelled” and here you can find more than one place for photography while walking along the quiet streets.
For example, an abandoned house on Okruzhnaya Street. It can look cozy or, conversely, scary. It all depends on the light and the ideas of the author-photographer. Here you can shoot both mystical subjects and love stories.

Evgeniy admits that “Kemerovsky” is not a real surname, but a pseudonym. The artist had to take it because of American fans who find it difficult to pronounce “Yakovlev.” Literally in a split second the pseudonym Kemerovo was born, which is still remembered by fans of Evgeniy’s songs and poems.

2 years after the start of his career as a musician, Kemerovo achieved unprecedented popularity in society. Evgeniy gave preference to chanson, but now he decided to try something new, so he began experimenting with rock and roll and boogie-woogie. This was expressed in the third album “Godfather”. On tour, one city replaces another.
Kemerovo writes a lot “on the table”, so by 1998 the artist had accumulated enough material for another solo album, which Evgeniy called “Above the Siberian Taiga”. The tracks “Don’t Remember Me” and “Golden Time” were present here, which became hits. As part of the presentation of the disc, the singer went on a tour of Russia.

Evgeny Kemerovo and Igor Korzh
Evgeniy Kemerovo took a time out. The break in creativity lasted for 9 years. In 2007, the artist presented the album “This is how we will live.” Igor Korzh helped Evgeniy in recording the disc. The author of the song “Unknown Ferry” decided to please the audience again a year later. Kemerovo is among the fans of the artist Vladimir Vysotsky. Evgeniy recorded a cover album called “Wolf Hunt”.
The creator of the track “Brothers, don’t shoot each other” published a collection of poems “Happiness” in 2010. The book became popular, so the editors decided to republish it.

Dam in Kirovsky district
Location: st. Folk.
Features: dirt road.
This is quite a beautiful and uncrowded place where you can realize the most daring ideas - from a photo shoot under the yellow-red autumn leaves to daring shots in the water. However, when going here by public transport, you should wear comfortable shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty: from the nearest stop to the dam you need to walk about a kilometer off-road. Even if Indian summer does visit the capital of Kuzbass, the road will run through grass, dry leaves and mud.
