SNCMedia:What is the hardest thing about being a musician?

LUXOR: It's hard to turn off the phone, disconnected from the outside world, collect your thoughts under a loud sound, start writing poetry...

Yana Khurumova: The most difficult thing is to combine an artist, manager and producer. If you concentrate only on one, the other is lame, so I try to work 24/7 and do everything.

SNCMedia: What are your creative plans for the rest of the year?

LUXOR: Until September, finish the long-running EP and give it to the masses well.

Yana Khurumova: To release the first Arfasound album.

SNCMedia: What inspires you?

LUXOR: Inspiration is a word from the past. Alas, now it looks like a chore that requires time and calmness. But creativity is an indescribable high, and there will always be time for a high!

Yana Khurumova: My main inspiration is the clouds covering the mountains at dawn, giant soaring stingrays in the Barcelona Aquarium, fantastic sunsets in Ibiza, balloon flights in Dubai, breakfasts in Paris at Cafe Des Deux Moulins, a colosseum in Rome. ..

SNCMedia: If you don't live in Moscow, then where?

LUXOR: In St. Petersburg, Sochi, Thailand or London - where it's warm or very romantic...

Yana Khurumova: In Italy.

SNCMedia:What do you care about money?

LUXOR: If you have money, then you don't feel sorry for them. If I had a lot of money, I would build a shelter for dogs, it hurts that I am not indifferent to these animals.

Yana Khurumova: For education and self-development.

SNCMedia. Your favorite performer.

LUXOR: Mikhail Gorshenev ("The King and the Jester").

Yana Khurumova: Sting. My dream is to perform on the same stage with him.

SNCMedia: What is the perfect vacation like?

LUXOR: I haven't been on vacation. And on weekends, it’s ideal to sleep until noon, wake up and drink Bacardi Black, snacking on mangoes, look at the smile of your beloved and the sea.

Yana Khurumova: For me it is peace and quiet. In order to gain impressions and strength for new concerts, I go on a journey where I draw inspiration. I see happy people who speak different languages, friendly and hospitable, amazing countries with their colors and I return home filled with impressions and images for the new program.

SNCMedia: Are you afraid of competition? And how many competitors do you have?

LUXOR: No, it seems to me that every musician has his own handwriting, everyone writes and hears in his own way ... Competition is inappropriate here, I am for creativity with all my heart, I am a music lover, I am happy when I hear something cool, something like that, what I wouldn't do.

Yana Khurumova: No.

SNCMedia: What did you want to be as a child?

LUXOR: As a child, I didn't have specific idols and goals, I lived, played football, messed up and really never thought that I would really live in those moments when music plays.

Yana Khurumova: Doctor.

SNCMedia: How many languages ​​do you know?

LUXOR: Russian, English, Buryat, the last two are weak, but with people who speak them, I will find common ground and resolve the issue with understanding. I'm working on it now because I feel like a Neanderthal.

Yana Khurumova: English, German, Latin and the language of music.

SNCMedia: What annoys you the most?

LUXOR: I get annoyed by people who try to appear bigger than they are. It's probably more fun though. In general, I am very calm, and I leave everything that annoys me in the gym. Oh yes! It annoys me for 2 months to eat boiled chicken, fish, buckwheat and rice so that my stomach goes away, and then drink beer, for example, or eat a burger and everything is down the drain, but I hold on. And why am I not an ectomorph?

Yana Khurumova: The unprofessionalism and frivolity in their work is very annoying in people.

He began to train on their example and soon wrote the first texts. Only after some time did he pluck up the courage and show the work to Alagui Yegorov, who is his old friend. He appreciated them and wrote music for them.
