Childhood and adolescence

Timur Yunusov is Timati's real name and surname. His childhood had nothing to do with show business. The boy was born in Moscow, in a very wealthy and respected family, on August 15, 1983.

Mom, Simona Yakovlevna, is Jewish by nationality. Having received an acting profession, she did not pursue a career on stage, but devoted herself entirely to children. Timur is the eldest child in the family. He has a brother, Artem, who is 3.5 years younger than him.

Father, Ildar Vakhitovich Yunusov - Tatar by nationality. According to his biography, after graduating from the Institute of Asia and Africa, he first successfully worked at the Chamber of Commerce, and then went into the investment business.

Yunusov, like many influential personalities, prefers to avoid publicity and tries to remain in the shadows. It is known that he has a successful restaurant business, investments in well-known Russian companies in the oil industry. Simona Yakovlevna is more accessible to a mass audience. She maintains her blog on one of the most popular social networks.

As a child, Timur showed an early interest in music, and his mother sent him to a music school, where he studied violin. However, the boy did not show much love for this instrument, but at the same time for 4 years he studied all the subtleties of playing the violin at the insistence of his mother, in whose family there were many musicians.

At the age of 13, Timur, while in the United States, became interested in rap, studying it directly in the African-American environment. At this time, he makes the first dragon tattoo and chooses a stage name.

In 1998 he created the group VIP77, collaborated with the then popular performer Decl, acting as an opening act and starring in his videos. When Timur graduated from high school, he entered the Higher School of Economics, but dropped out after two years, completely immersed in show business.

Start of a professional career

In 2004, a young hip-hop performer, together with friends, successfully passes the casting to the popular project "Star Factory - 4". Together with him, the participants of the new composition of the VIP77 group passed it:

• Ratmir Shishkov;
• Nastya Kochetkova;
• Dominic Joker.

Even before joining the "Star Factory" to Igor Krutoy, Timati proved to be a successful promoter of the most popular nightclubs, showing in practice his business acumen and business success.

Despite the fact that Timati did not reach the final of the "Star Factory", of all its participants, he became the only really popular and successful performer who achieved star status.

After leaving the project, the singer began touring with his group in Russia. After successful promotion on federal television in the framework of the Star Factory project, in a few months he was able to earn such fees, for which he opened the Black Club nightclub.

In 2006, the singer released his first solo album, Black Star, in which he recorded 17 musical compositions in a duet with popular singers and media personalities.

Many of Timati's solo albums were harshly criticized by the music community for being secondary to Western rap.

In 2007, a tragedy occurred in Timati's life: his comrade and colleague in the "Gang" group tragically died in a car accident, having burned down, essentially, alive in a mangled car along with his girlfriend and two friends.

Having disbanded the Banda group and starting a solo career, Timur Ildarovich Yusupov began to actively engage in business. As a result, he became the only fabulously rich Russian rapper who was able to create not only a nightclub, but also a large number of other business projects in a short time:

• a production center with the Black Star label;
• a line of fashionable clothes;
• a popular fast food chain;
• tattoo parlors;
• network of barber shops.

His famous label Black Star has released a large number of popular performers on the Russian stage:

• Egor Creed;
• Misha Mavina;
• Mota;
• Scrooge and others.

The singer successfully made his film debut, starring in one of the main roles in the comedy "Heat" and "Classmates: Call Your Luck", and he also took part in the voice acting of the cartoon "Catch the Wave".

From 2012 to 2013, the singer released two of his successful albums SWAGG and "13". In 2014, Timati received the title of Honored Artist of the Chechen Republic and became a friend of its leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

In 2017, the singer decided to expand his label by creating a football club where only young footballers play. When the singer is asked about the secret of his success, he replies that his father always taught him to achieve everything on his own.

Personal life

It is known that Timati has a rather stormy personal life. He is still not married, although he has two children from different common-law wives. It is known that the singer Alexa became his first girlfriend, to whom he took very seriously. The young performer met her at the Star Factory project.

After that, his personal life changed a lot. Timati was credited with having affairs with many beautiful girls, starting with Miss Russia 2009 and ending with Milla Jovovich.

In 2012, model Alena Shishkova, who gave birth to her daughter Alisa in 2014, became one of the singer's friends. For the sake of the child, the singer was able to maintain a warm relationship with Alena. They decided that they would jointly take part in the upbringing of the girl.

In the year of birth of his first child, Timati met the model Anastasia Reshetova, who became "Miss Russia - 2014". The young people met for three years before starting to live together.

The couple was in no hurry to formalize the relationship even after Anastasia Reshetova gave birth to a son in 2019, whom Timati named after his deceased friend Ratmir Shishkov. And on September 1 of this year, Anastasia officially announced that she and Timati are no longer a couple.

The commercial success of Timati and his biography confirm the old truth that in many ways his family makes a person. Timur Yusupov not only could rely on the financial capabilities of his father at the beginning of his career, but also learned from him how to manage his money, investing it in profitable business areas. The Black Star label he founded is a vivid example of competent promotion of a name in show business and successful business conduct.
