The Yunusov family was already quite prosperous by the time their first son was born. It would seem that any child who is born to well-to-do parents will grow up as a spoiled “major,” but everything turned out wrong. The parents of the future star held somewhat conservative views on the issue of a person’s development as an individual, believing that everyone should achieve success in life on their own, as they themselves did. So, in Moscow on August 15, 1983, Timati was born into the family of Ildar Yunusov and Simona Yunusova (Chervomorskaya). The boy's nationality has since caused much controversy.
A star is born
As for his creative abilities, his parents noticed them in Timur’s early childhood. Therefore, while still a schoolboy, he also attended a music school, where he studied singing and violin. Despite the fact that the boy clearly showed success in vocals, he categorically did not want to take up the violin, but his mother, seeing the potential (plus musical roots along her line), continued to insist on mastering the voice and musical instrument. At that time, no one was interested in the question of what nationality Timati was. He was still unknown to anyone.
After receiving secondary education, he enters the Higher School of Economics, but after a short time Timur realizes that this is not his path and after 6 months he quits his studies.
Adolescence. The beginning of becoming a musician
In 1996, the then unknown person was sent to Los Angeles to see the world and, perhaps, to warm up his interest in studying. But his parents’ hopes were never fulfilled, and instead of pursuing his self-development and science, he pays more attention to hip-hop and club parties. It was this period in his life that became a turning point, when he decided exactly what he would do in the future. Therefore, after returning to the capital of Russia, he took up show business, which began with working in clubs. Moreover, these were quite well-known and popular establishments, such as “Marika”, “Most” and others.
The musician constantly visits the gym and keeps himself in good physical shape, but because of his daring character he gets into one of the brawls, where he gets hit twice in the abdomen, which now reminds him of the scars. There are rumors that this happened precisely because of the question of what nationality Timati was among some “Slavic-oriented” groups. By the way, this topic was also mentioned in one of the films where the musician played himself.
Speaking of origin, there is a lot of debate on this topic, Timati’s nationality on his father’s side is Tatar, but his mother is Jewish, and the whole intrigue is that among the latter, a person’s nationality is determined exclusively through the female line, thus, one can even say that Timur - Jew.
Musical future
Despite all the problems and difficulties, the future “star” shows himself from the best sides, and thanks to his musical education, he makes every effort to achieve success in this direction. Timur loves rap culture very much and begins to little by little write songs on his own. As the musician himself said, a talisman in the form of a large letter “T” helped him in his work.
We can say that Timati’s nationality is Uzbek, at least that’s what some sources on the Internet say. In fact, there are as many rumors about his origin as there are about his entire creative path.
Biography of Timati: nationality
The official start of his career, or more precisely, attempts to start it, can be considered 1998. It was then that Timati’s first team was created, it was called VIP77, which meant “Very Important People of the 77th District of Moscow.” There were only 7 people in the group, of whom only its founder became more or less popular. Despite the fact that all their work was well received at non-professional festivals and in some clubs, they never achieved success. However, a year before their official breakup, the group even managed to release their first album called The Album. The biography of Timati, whose nationality still arouses interest among admirers of his work, has practically no blank spots. So, in 2000, Timur first appeared on the wide screen, thanks to Decl’s video “Party”.
The year 2004 was marked by the participation of Timati, Dominic Joker and in the television project “Star Factory-4”. It was at this moment that the team was assembled, which was later named “The Gang”. The group failed to win the project then, but instead they managed to make themselves known, after which Igor Krutoy decided to take on their team. Soon the composition “Heaven is Crying” will be released into the media space. The song very quickly gained great popularity and was followed by the next hit - “New People”.
The next year (2005) gives Timati even more popularity, thanks to his video with Alexa “Where are you?” At the same time, the debut album “New People” was released. Alexa and Timati knew each other from “Factory”; the producers decided that it would be better for their image and popularity to create the illusion of love and a romantic relationship between them. Thus, in public they tried in every possible way to support their legend. In the same year, Timati starred in the movie “Male Season: The Velvet Revolution.”
Soon the whole team goes on a tour of Russia. Timur manages to participate in “Gang” and VIP77 at the same time. Naturally, their leader was Timati. The nationality of all the group members was different, but this did not at all prevent them from developing creatively and existing successfully. At the end of the tour, the Black club opens. At the same time, he quarrels with Alexa, who even begins a relationship with one of the businessmen in Donetsk for some time. But soon they were together again.
In 2006, the world saw the release of his first solo album called Black Star. His debut show “Yuppies in a Pickup Truck” is also starting. A hit was also recorded together with Alexa - “When you are near.” This composition was so popular that it immediately topped the first lines of the music charts in Russia and the CIS.
2007 began with an official statement regarding the end of the relationship between Alexa and Timati. The nationality or the harsh character of the musician contributed to this decision - to this day. Now, not burdened with a serious relationship, the young artist plunges headlong into solo projects. Moreover, active work begins not only on the musical side, but also on improving acting skills. The main role in the film “Heat”, dubbing the cartoon “Catch the Wave”, filming the videos “Don’t Go Crazy” and “Dance”.
In 2008, another composition was presented on the theme of the capital of Russia, in which Dj Smash took part - “My Moscow”. In the same year, production work was done on the video for Sergei Lazarev - Lazerboy.
In 2009, in November, the artist’s second solo album, entitled The Boss, was released. Also this year, there was a conscription into the Russian army, which included Timati. Nationality in this case did not matter at all, and the certificate issued by the doctors during the examination helped him get out of the situation; it stated that the artist was mentally unbalanced.
In 2010, the musician announced that he was going to release an English version of The Boss. But this process is delayed, and soon it is completely postponed. In the summer, the grand opening of his store with his personal design line takes place. In the same year, closer to its end, 2 more videos were released: “How much does love cost” and “Time”.
In 2011, Timati entered the arena of European nightclubs with a remix of the song Welcome to St. Tropez by DJ Antoine.
In 2012, the first English-language album by the artist SWAGG was presented.
In 2013, he took part in the election campaign of V.V. Putin and was later chosen as the ambassador of the Kazan Universiade.

Our days
At the moment, the artist is actively working with many foreign rap artists, such as Snoop Dogg and P.Diddy. But, despite this, he positions himself more as a businessman than a musician under the pseudonym Timati. The autobiography (which does not touch on nationality) nevertheless speaks of him primarily as a very talented musician who was able to make a revolution in the music of Russia.

Nevertheless, Timati and Artem’s parents continue to communicate, even though each has different families. Ildar Yunusov has lived in Switzerland for a long time and rarely comes home. However, his current wife is absolutely not against communicating with the businessman’s former family. The sons meet and keep in touch with their dad.
Timati about his parents

His family gave him a good education and helped him in any situation. Timati maintains communication with his father, and his mother, according to the rapper, helps the young father a lot with raising his daughter Alice.
The financial condition of Timati's family is great, and they can afford a lot. But from childhood, Ildar Yunusov taught his sons to be independent.
According to the artist, it is not money that creates family happiness, but love and attention to children. Now Timati’s father can be calm about his adult and accomplished sons, one of whom gave him a granddaughter.

Music sharks periodically accuse Timati of being secondary. They remind him of the compositions of Western performers. Indeed, more than once he was caught in obvious plagiarism. Moreover, its popularity, according to many critics, is the result not only of mass suggestion, but also of advertising hypnosis. Despite this, Timati managed to make money on his name. He has the right to ignore the skeptics. For his fame, in fact, is off the charts. Timati is developing and does not intend to stop there. Note, to the delight of numerous fans. What is Timati's name? And what is his nationality? You will learn about this as you read the article.
In the bosom of a happy family
What is Timati's real name? Full name: Timur Ildarovich Yunusov. He was born in multimillion-dollar Moscow at the end of the summer of 1983. It's easy to calculate how old Timati is. And you already know his name. Now it’s worth finding out some more details of his biography.
Timati grew up in the family of a famous entrepreneur. My father is Tatar by nationality, and my mother has Jewish roots. Accordingly, it is difficult to judge his nationality. The performer also has a younger brother. His name is Artem. He is 3.5 years younger than Timur. As children, the brothers often fought, since both were leaders by nature. Now Artem is helping his older brother: with enviable activity, he helps him find suitable musical compositions.
A certain creative potential was felt in Timur from an early age. He had excellent hearing. Besides, he sang quite well. It’s not for nothing that his mother once practiced playing the guitar, and his grandfather was a choir player. Therefore, it was impossible not to notice the ability of the future performer. In a word, the parents sent their son to a music school. For four years he persistently studied the violin and even reached certain heights. But he categorically did not like it.
In high school, Timati was never an excellent student. He was interested in humanities, languages, and physical education. And he was completely incapable of precise disciplines.
Crucial moment
That is why when the young man turned thirteen, his father sent him to America. He hoped that his son would at least be interested in studying there. But these expectations were not met. Since Timur became seriously interested in hip-hop culture and attended corresponding parties in American nightclubs. By and large, this was a real turning point that determined his future fate. For himself, he firmly decided that from now on his life is directly connected with show business.
Returning to the capital, Timur began his own career. He was involved in breakdancing and worked in large and famous clubs. By the way, there were some excesses at these parties. So, due to his hot character, he received a couple of stab wounds in the stomach. Fortunately, everything worked out, but the scars still remain.
First team
In the late 90s, Timati became a student at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. But he lasted only six months at the university, after which he finally focused on his musical career.
By this time he created his own musical project. It was called VIP77. The team actively participated in many festivals, but it has not yet brought the desired fame. However, the group even recorded a debut album. Let's get ahead of events: the project died in 2004, only to be revived a year later. True, this didn’t help either. After some time, the musicians themselves decided to put an end to the history of this interesting group.
At the same time, Timati met rap artist Decl. By the way, he didn’t even suspect that his new friend’s father was a famous producer. Timur helped Decl work on his solo release. He recorded his own backing vocals. In addition, he starred in a video called “Party at Decl’s House.” Unfortunately or fortunately, the paths of the young performers diverged, and this creative tandem could not develop into something more.
Star Factory
Soon, the future hip-hop star managed to audition for the casting of the TV project “Star Factory”. He was able to get the opportunity to learn from venerable teachers and perform duet compositions with famous singers.
It was then that Igor Krutoy noticed him. He decided to create a new project called “Gang”, in which Timati, of course, participated.
Alas, the group members did not become the winners of Factory-4. However, the producers apparently really liked them. In any case, the decision was made to record their debut album and shoot a video. As a result, the video creation, which was called “Heaven is Crying,” became very popular. But the disc was accepted without any fuss.
After the TV project, Timati and the “factory” participants went on a tour that lasted several months. Then the artist gained many fans. Everyone became interested in what Timati's real name was.
The beginning of a solo career
When these successful tours ended, Timati began work on his first solo album. It came out in 2006 and was called Black Star. The disc contains seventeen songs, including duets. In this regard, he was accompanied by Ksenia Sobchak, Irina Dubtsova, Alexa, the Uma2rman team and many others.
Three years later he released his second studio album. And in 2012, the third album SWAGG appeared. Note that this is the first English-language release in the artist’s career. And the invited guests were international musicians, including Laurent Wolf, Snoop Dogg, Craig David, etc.
To the surprise of the skeptics, the record became extremely popular. She became famous not only in Russia. For example, one of Timati’s songs was in first place on international iTunes. Previously, the winner was Lady Gaga herself.
Just a year later, another Russian-language record from the artist appeared on the shelves of music stores. Alas, she was unable to reach the SWAGG bar, but still topped the iTunes hit parade in the CIS and Baltic states.
Recent history
Over the past two years, Timati has continued to release new compositions and videos. In addition, during this time he recorded several songs with famous performers - Grigory Leps, Yegor Creed, A-Studio...
In 2016, a new studio album appeared, called “Olympus”. The same year he went on another tour to support the release.
And in the middle of summer 2017, Timati announced another duet - with the famous rapper Guf. Apparently, these performers intend to announce a joint project to the public. Today it’s no secret to anyone what Timati’s real name is. His fame is truly off the charts.
Entrepreneurship
Timati lives not only by music. He is also actively involved in entrepreneurship. Thus, in the 2000s, he was able to open the Black club nightclub and release several now famous performers onto the music scene. He even registered the Black Star Inc label.
In addition, he managed to launch his own line of youth clothing.
Quite recently, Timati opened his own diner under his label. They say that a second establishment will appear in the capital of Chechnya. In any case, the President of the Republic himself asked for this.
The rapper also became an actor. For example, one of the main roles in the film “Heat” went to him. Then he took part in the continuation of the Odnoklassniki film. In addition, he voiced several cartoon characters. We are talking, first of all, about “Arthur and the Minimoys” and “Catch the Wave.”
Perhaps a football team will be added to his label. In any case, back in the spring of 2017, he intended to create his own club. But, they say, his investments are not enough for a worthy team.
Non-scandalous personality
In show business, Timati is not a scandalous figure at all. Although sometimes his name still appears in the yellow media. Of course, the biggest scandal involving him was the conflict with pop singer Philip Kirkorov. This happened in 2012. Timati was then outraged by the results of the Muz-TV Prize. Almost all representatives of the domestic scene were in solidarity with the rapper.
The feud with Kirkorov ended recently. It was then that the king of the remake starred in a commercial for Timati's diner. He played the more than satisfied client, saying that everything had finally returned to its place.
Personal life
At one time, Timati admitted that he had never in his life experienced serious feelings for representatives of the opposite sex. But when he ended up at Star Factory-4, he met a young singer. Her name was Alexa. This relationship essentially began there. Although many were sure that all this was just another PR stunt. However, it was obvious that the young people spend a lot of time with each other. It was a serious romance.
But after “Factory”, the next year, the couple broke up. Alexa started communicating with an entrepreneur from Donetsk. The lovers were even planning to get married. But, they say, Timati managed to literally take his beloved woman away from under the aisle. Despite this, by 2007 the relationship had exhausted itself.
After that, he started many fleeting novels. He was seen with presenter Masha Malinovskaya, and with participant Victoria Bonya, and with the titled beauty of the Miss Russia contest, Sofia Rudyeva, etc. But none of them were confirmed.
Birth of a daughter
In 2012, Timur Yunusov met Alena Shishkova. Their meeting took place during the filming of the video. But they didn’t start dating closely right away. The fact is that Alena turned out to be a very modest lady. Therefore, the famous performer was forced to seek the appropriate location. However, after some time the lovers began to live under the same roof.
In 2014, the couple had their first child, Alice. During childbirth, Timati did not leave his beloved woman for a moment. He was even able to cut the umbilical cord. They say the rapper's daughter is blonde, like his mother. But she looks like her father.
Be that as it may, the once happy couple broke up. However, Timur takes part in the life of his daughter with enviable activity. In addition, whenever possible, he supports the mother of his child, periodically presenting her with expensive gifts. In a word, this couple was able to maintain real friendly relations.
Meanwhile, information leaked that Timati was dating model Anastasia Reshetova. Fans assure that the new chosen one will not only become the performer’s wife, but will also give him a child...
Now you know Timati’s name (full name is Timur Ildarovich Yunusov), how his life turned out, how he came to such stunning success. We can only wish him success in all his future endeavors!

However, the producers did not ignore “Gang”. They were given a unique opportunity to record a record in a professional studio and record a full-fledged video. After the project, all participants went on an all-Russian tour. Returning from it, Timati opened his first nightclub.
Career
In 2006, the public heard Timati’s first album, which was called “Black Star”. It consisted of 17 songs. Despite the fact that many appreciated the work of the aspiring artist, many accused him of plagiarism. All this time Timati devoted himself to business. The Black Star label was registered back in 2006.

A few years later, the rapper surprised the public with an English-language album. It included 21 songs. Work on this record took place over three years.
This album helped Timati achieve recognition in the foreign market. Statistical information showed that in terms of rotation level, Europe is ahead of the CIS countries, including the Russian Federation. The song “Welcome to Saint-Tropez” was recognized as the most hit.
Over the next year, the artist actively worked on the album in Russian. It was not possible to break the records of the previous record, but on the whole the Russian-speaking audience was satisfied.
In 2013, in Chechnya, Timati was awarded the honorary title “Honored Artist of Chechnya.” Until now, the performer maintains friendly relations with Ruslan Akhmadovich.

Timati opened a second fast food restaurant in Grozny at the personal request of the head of the republic.
Personal life
The artist’s personal life was very turbulent at one time. At the same time, he always said that it was difficult for him to fall in love. Timur Yunusov's first serious relationship took place at the Factory. They started dating a native of Donetsk, Alexa. The romance developing in the star's house only fueled public interest in this famous couple.
Alexa even invited her lover to star in her video for the song “Where are you.” The artist played the role of a romantic young man. A year later, the couple’s relationship ended, but resumed after a while. Timati came to Donetsk to pick up his beloved to take her to Moscow. Then the artists met for another two years. In 2007, a final point was made between them. The reason for the separation was not stated. Friends of the couple believed that they did not get along in character. In particular, Alexa loved noisy parties, and Timati preferred a homely environment.
Two years later, the celebrity was noticed in the company of model Sofia Rudneva. However, feelings for her quickly ended. Next in line was Mila Volchek.
In addition, he was seen more than once with Mila Jovovich, Mila Vovchek, and Victoria Lopyreva.

The most important woman in Timati’s life remains her little daughter. Since the star's parents are very busy, she is raised by her grandmother Simone. The child grows up to be a versatile personality.
