Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Born on August 28, 1981, in Tyulkubas, Kazakhstan, Vladimir Panchenko displayed early musical talent. Blessed with exceptional vocals, he participated in choirs and showcased his abilities in school performances. However, it took him years to embrace his passion and perform on stage.

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.

Conflict and Breakup

Despite their success, tensions within Factor-2 arose, leading to a split. Ilya Podstrelov returned to Russia, while Vladimir Panchenko formed a new partnership with his brother, Denis Panchenko.

Allegations and Disputes

In 2020, Ilya Podstrelov alleged that Vladimir's brother's alleged unethical behavior contributed to his departure from Factor-2. Vladimir Panchenko countered by acknowledging a joint business loan but claimed he and his brother had repaid it after Podstrelov's absence.
