Musical Journey with Factor-2
After relocating to Germany, Panchenko met Ilya Podstrelov, and the duo formed the musical group Factor-2. They aimed to connect with young audiences and named their project "Factor-2."
Factor-2's popularity soared after a collaboration with DJ Vital, and their tracks became a favorite among Russian emigrants. Upon returning to Russia, their music gained recognition in the early 2000s.
Factor-2 gained widespread success after their debut album. The song "Krasavitsa" became a radio hit, followed by the release of the album "Istorii iz Zhizni." The group released an innovative music video for the song "Otchim," offering multiple endings for viewers to choose from.
In 2006, Factor-2 was crowned "Group of the Year" by Record Awards. However, after a year, they parted ways with their producer and continued performing.
