Biography

Sergei Trofimov was born on November 4, 1966, in Moscow to Galina Fedorovna and Vyacheslav Vladimirovich. The parents divorced three years after the birth of their son.

From 1973 until 1983 Trofimov was a chorister at the Moscow State Capella at the Gnessin School. After receiving the diploma of secondary education, Sergei entered the Moscow State Art and Cultural University and the Moscow Conservatory, specializing in theory and composition. At the age of 19 Sergei participated in the 12th World Festival of Youth and Students, which was held in 1985 in the capital of the USSR, where he received a diploma. Due to financial difficulties Sergei Trofimov worked as a musician at a restaurant.

At 21, Trofimov began his creative career, composing and performing songs in the style of rock ballads. Sergei became member of the rock band "Eroplan". From 1991 until 1993 he served as a chorister in the choir at a church in Moscow.[3][4] In 1992, Sergei began working on songs for Svetlana Vladimirskaya's album "My Boy".

Sergei's concert activity began in 1994. Initially, Trofimov came forward as the author of musical compositions for Alexander Ivanov's disk "Sinful Soul of Sorrow". For solo work, Sergei chose the creative pseudonym "Trofim". The first albums of the singer "Aristocracy of the Garbage Dump 1" and "Aristocracy of the Garbage Dump 2" were produced by Stepan Razin.

In 2008 Trofimov acted in the television series Platina.[5]
