Briefly about the band

Nuki is the band of vocalist Dariya “Nuki” Stavrovich. The project began as a solo one: in 2012 the first single and music video “Boysya” came out, and on 28 April 2013 the debut album “Zhivy!”. A permanent line-up formed around it: guitarist Sergey “ID” Bogolyubsky, bassist Andrey Ostrav and drummer Alexander Karpukhin

For more than ten years Nuki ran in parallel with “Slot”, where Dariya had sung since 2006. In that time the albums “Pyltsa lunnoy babochki”, “Isklyucheniya” and “Volki smotryat v les” came out — the last one won “Chartova Dyuzhina” in the “Album” category. In 2016 Dariya reached the semi-final of “Golos” in Grigory Leps’s team

In April 2024 Dariya left “Slot”, and Nuki became her main work. In June guitarist Viktor Kucher joined the band — together they wrote the music of the album “Terapiya”. The same year the single “Sabotazh” rose to number one in the “Chartova Dyuzhina” chart

In August 2026 Nuki opened a campaign for a new album on Planeta.ru and reached the goal, and in September they were recording the album funded by the listeners. For November–December 2026 the band announced G.O.A.T. tour of 15 cities in Europe
