Sergey Vasilyevich Parkhomenko (, ; born October 8, 1976), known professionally as Seryoga (), is a Belarusian rapper and the owner of the KingRing record label.
Career
Parkhomenko was born in Gomel, Belarus. The moniker "Seryoga" derives from his first name, Sergey, and is one of the nickname forms commonly used for that name.
Seryoga released his first solo single "ÃÂðóÃÂñøûø ÃÂÃÂûÃÂ" (Ruined Laila) in the summer of 2002. In 2003, the record label "ÃÂþýþûøÃÂ" (Monolit) released the CD Maxi single of "ÃÂðóÃÂñøûø ÃÂÃÂûÃÂ" with 5 tracks in Russia and Belarus.
In February 2004, Seryoga started a show on the Ukrainian music channel ÃÂ-1. In April 2004, the record label MFG/BMG Ukraine released Seryoga's debut solo album "ÃÂþù ôòþÃÂ: ÃÂòðôÃÂñà& ÿþÃÂ
þÃÂþýÃÂ" (My neighborhood: weddings & funerals) in Ukraine. The album was simultaneously released in the Belarus by the record label Go Records. The album came out several weeks later in Russia, where it was titled "ÃÂþù ôòþÃÂ. áÿþÃÂÃÂøòýÃÂõ ÃÂðÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂúø" (My neighborhood. Sports chastushki).
His third single was "çÃÂÃÂýÃÂù ÃÂÃÂüõÃÂ" (Chyorniy Bumer, meaning Black Bimmer). The "çÃÂÃÂýÃÂù ÃÂÃÂüõÃÂ" music video was shot in the summer of 2004 by Ukrainian director Vladimir Yakimenko (Pistolet Film) and premiered on September 15, 2004, in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2005, the music video for the song "King Ring" was shot in Kyiv. The song was written for the feature film "Shadowboxing" and included on its soundtrack. In 2006, the film Day Watch came out in theaters, the sequel to Night Watch from two years earlier. The film's soundtrack featured Seryoga's song "ÃÂõû ÃÂÃÂôÃÂñàøûø ÃÂõÃÂýàâðüõÃÂûðýð" (Mel sudby ili Pesnya Tamerlana, English: "Chalk of Destiny or Timur's song") as the theme song.
In Germany, Seryoga collaborated on the song "2 Kaiser" with the German rapper Azad. Seryoga then worked with the German rapper Megaloh and also recorded the song "In Da City" with German rap group Culcha Candela. Seryoga's song King Ring was chosen by Rockstar Games to be the background music of the Third Trailer for their video game Grand Theft Auto IV, titled Move up, Ladies and is also featured in the game on its "Vladivostok FM" radio station. He was also contracted to compose a track for The Music of Grand Theft Auto IV (the music CD included with the special edition of GTA IV) entitled Liberty City: The Invasion, which is also featured on the in-game radio station.
Political position
In 2021, Seryoga has publicly declared his support to the ÿÃÂõ÷øôõýàof Belarus, Alexander Lukashenka, whom he described as âÂÂthe keeper of the [political] balance [in Belarus]âÂÂ.
Despite a large number of documented human rights abuses in Belarus in 2020âÂÂ21, Seryoga describes the place as "peaceful and orderly", with "infrastructure that works" and "a large number of people with happy faces". In response to the reaction of the network, Parkhomenko called himself a Russian "statesman", and Stalin a "great humanist".
In September 2022, he promoted the ideology of one nation opposed by the West on TV. He also denied the validity of the collapse of the USSR.
