Childhood and youth
Yuri was born on February 23, 1983 in the city of Alchevsk, in the Luhansk region of Ukraine. In 2000, Yura became seriously interested in dancing in the style of breakdancing, and in the future young man the successes he achieved in this business came in handy. It is noteworthy that he studied at the local club "Poisk", that is, "Quest" in English.After leaving school, not wanting to follow the beaten path: to the army, then to the factory, Yuri decided to move from a provincial town to Kiev. In order not to be left without bread, Yura danced on the Maidan, where he earned about 30 hryvnia for a performance - not bad money at that time.
As the producer admitted in one of his interviews, in many respects his fate was decided by a chance acquaintance with the frontman of the dance group "Force" Nikita "Bumper" Goryuk - the future soloist of the group "Quest Pistols".
Ballet "Quest"
A year after moving, he became responsible for the cast for the musical "Equator". At about the same time he met Konstantin Borovsky, a dancer of the Antishok group. Subsequently, young people created their own dance group, in which Anton Savlepov came to audition, whom Yuri himself once called a genius of breakdancing. In this composition, the team presented the "Chance" program, which gained popularity throughout Ukraine.
Age of Quest Pistols
It all started when the dancers Nikita, Kostya and Anton - expressive and charismatic people - once decided that it was time to move in a new direction. This task was hanged on the shoulders of Yuri Bardash, who came up with the thought: "Why shouldn't ballet become singers?" 
No sooner said than done: in 2007, with joint efforts, the guys found a talented girl who wrote the first lyrics and music for them, and began performing under the name Quest Pistols.
After the debut in the program "Chance" with the song "I'm tired", which in the near future conquered all Ukrainian and Russian charts, the group was rapidly gaining popularity among fans of pop music, and their first album "For You" received gold status. “I am a producer, a hunter for smart heads. One of my main tasks is to recognize talent and attract him to cooperation. I unite genius people in action, and they produce an ingenious product, ”Yura confessed.
First performance by Quest Pilsots, "Chance" program
Even the People's Artist of Ukraine Natalia Mogilevskaya took a liking to the group, who invited Quest Pistols to the national music festival "Tavria Games".
It should be noted that Bardash is one of the founders of the Ukrainian label "Lace", which shoots videos and promotes pop stars. The producer considers Kuzma Scriabin and Ivan Shapovalov to be his "mentors", who can be easily guided by. Previously, he also worked with the Nerves group,
Yuri Bardash and "Mushrooms"
In one of the most popular group of 2016-2017, Bardash acts not only as a producer: under the auspices of the "Mushrooms" project, the 33-year-old former dancer first appeared in the role of a performer.Mushrooms: how it all began
Yura first appeared in the video "Intro", after the first minute of the video. Bardage chose the image of a daring shaven-headed guy in sunglasses, squatting. In addition to Yuri, the group "Mushrooms" includes Ukrainian rappers 4atty aka Tilla and Symptom NZHN.
Due to his extensive work experience, Bardash knows how to attract an audience: "Mushrooms" is hip-hop music with uncomplicated but sarcastic lyrics. Fans who have dubbed the group a mixture of "Krovostok" and the group "Bread" believe that "Mushrooms" may well perform on some Golden Gramophone ", given the phenomenal popularity of their debut album" Home on Wheels, Part 1 "and especially the tracks" Bicycle ”and“ The Ice is Melting ”.

Personal life of Yuri Bardash
There were rumors on the Internet that Yuri Bardash had an affair with Svetlana Loboda, but the artist himself admits that, on the contrary, he, to put it mildly, did not even have a friendly relationship with the Ukrainian singer. 
Yuri Bardash is married to Ukrainian pop singer Luna, Kristina Bardash (Gerasimov's maiden name), who is released on his Kruzheva Music label. In 2012, the couple had a son, Gosha. According to fans of Mushrooms, it is the artist's son that can be seen in the video "Intro".
Yuri Bardash now
Having released their first album in November 2016, "Mushrooms" and Yuri Bardash announced that the second album, "House on Wheels, Part 2", would soon be released. 
"Moisture has risen in the club": who are "Mushrooms" and why are they so popular
Probably, only the deaf or the dead have not heard the most popular song of the past summer "Intro" by the "Mushrooms" group. Although no, perhaps even the deaf and the dead probably sang along, "Tell me, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you? Why are you lethargic? Come follow me, I'll pamper you ...". And even if you are not a fan of rap culture (as if something is bad), you will still involuntarily begin to move to all these "Ball-dancing-morning-night-ultra-rain".
Last week "Mushrooms" released a video for the new song "Cops". The song "Intro" was gaining views on YouTube exponentially, while "Cops" already have more than 1 million 700 thousand views in a week. And yes, it means that you want it or not, but this fall in your head, from any window and in any car and minibus, you will hear "We're piling bass, the cops don't like us so much."
And yet, who are the "Mushrooms"?

He is also Correspondent Raduzhny, a popular Kiev video blogger who lives in Los Angeles. The chip of his video on youtube channel"Budget Guy Ritchie" and on Instagram - short absurd sketches, where he himself plays all the roles. 
Symptom of UZHN © rap.ua
Symptom NZHN (Symptom Onjeon) has been rapping since the 90s, recorded a joint album with 4atty aka Tilla, and is now part of "Mushrooms". On account of his victory in the main Ukrainian rap battle Pitbull.
It is difficult for any musician to maintain a decent level after you break into the world of show business with a hit (I'm talking about the "Intro" track). But let's see. For some reason it seems to me that "Mushrooms" will not remain performers of one song. Now Kyivstoner is located in Kiev. Perhaps we should expect a Mushroom concert and new songs in the near future. We are waiting and "we are growing" :)
A hip-hop group that explodes the top charts for the second year in a row, possessing sarcasm and a kind of authenticity, gathering thousands of halls, offering young people a good quality, releasing clips with a multimillion audience, creating tracks spinning in headphones and acoustic systems cars to complete memorization, and all this is about the Ukrainian group - Mushrooms.
Clip "Cops"
The last couple of weeks among music connoisseurs have passed under a spellbinding formation that can truly be called the sensation of 2017, and this is all about the track "The Ice is Melting".
The Mushrooms group gained its popularity in the world in April 2016 with the release of the video "Intro". The clip was filmed without frills and in black and white colors. For several days of views on the network, he scored more than six million views. The most famous line for all was the line, which after a year we still keep repeating: "we are like mushrooms, like mushrooms, moisture in the club has risen and we are growing."
It sounds somehow different, not like all the songs offered now, perhaps this became that highlight, a push forward.
On March 10, 2017, the guys released the song "The Ice is Melting", which alarmed the Internet. “The ice is melting between us” is a phrase that has become a meme a few hours after the release. The clip itself is also distinguished by its virility, which gave us another infectious and rhythmic movement, as well as over 30 million views. The meaning of the song is a relationship, each hero of the video tells the story of his life.
The style of the track comes from the 90s, the release caused a mixed reaction in society. Some track are considered meaningless, others are genius. What do you say?

- "Home on Wheels pt. 2" - 2017
The Mushrooms project so far has only one song and a video for it, which has gained a million views in less than a month. At the same time, the participants of the project itself are not particularly known to the Russian listener, although they have weight in Ukrainian music. We have collected all the information we have about them.
4atty aka Tilla
When it comes to the Kiev rap underground, the name of Ilya Kapustin pops up, if not in the first place, then in the second. Co-founder Bridges formation, a few years ago, united the promising artists of the region (Fame, Vnuk, Makstar and others) under its banners, but due to disagreements between the locomotives of the association, 4atty and the beatmaker-MC Mono, it ceased to exist in quarrels. It was a very bright and at the same time local story with its own audience, hits, slang and ideology “The main thing is true, and the rest is fuck with him”. Even though for a large number of feats with popular rappers(Lok Dog, Slovetsky, ST, Ves and others) 4atty's music could not break through to Russia: Ukrainian street rap remained Ukrainian.
For a while, 4atty continued to make music, but without visible results and, as if, by inertia. But then the Mushrooms came.
Yuri Bardash
One of the most influential pop producers in Ukraine (and probably Russia), and long before that, a talented breaker from the Donbass city of Alchevsk. At the beginning of the 2000s, he moved to Kiev, where he created the pop smithy KRUZHEVA Music from scratch and brought out the dance group Quest Pistols Show (later - the Nerva group, even later - the singer Luna). Something about the producer instinct of Bardash is indicated at least by the fact that it was he who had the idea of recording the covers of “White Dragonfly of Love” and “Santa Lucia” by the QPS group.
Obviously, working in the field of pop hitmaking did not discourage the love for urban music that started it all. And now, at the age of 33, for the first time he tries on the role of not a behind-the-scenes leader, but an artist himself.
