Worst times: gone from The Russian band went on a break due to falling popularity

The band Little Big, whose members Ilya Prusikin ❶ and Sophia Tayurskaya left from Russia needed a rebranding due to the decline in popularity after leaving. This is reported by the telegram channel Mash.

"The creative resource of artists has dried up, new tracks are not shooting — producers cannot rehabilitate the collapsed popularity. Now Ilya and his wife Sophia have settled in Los Angeles, where they are raising their daughter Sasha, " the report says.

Now the team selectively accepts offers for corporate events, the cost of which is $ 50 thousand (about 4.5 million rubles), which is significantly lower than the figures that were before the move. However, there is still no demand — the artists practically do not go on stage.

The telegram channel reminds that in 2025 the band canceled a world tour and released only four releases.

As reported by EADaily, in the spring of 2022, Prusikin ❶ and his wife Sophia Tayurskaya left Russia after a series of harsh statements. In January 2023, the lead singer of Little Big was recognized as a foreign agent.

In May 2024, the IP accounts belonging to Prusikin❶ were blocked by the Federal Tax Service. The IP has a debt of 182 thousand rubles. Prior to that, two companies established by a foreign agent had already been liquidated — Let's Lime LLC and Little Big LLC.

In August 2024, Prusikin❶ was fined by a court decision for 60 thousand rubles for the lack of marking of a foreign agent when posting on social networks.

In April 2025, the telegram channel Shot found out that the singer continues to receive income from listening to his compositions on Russian services. All rights to the Little Big trademark belong to Alina Piazok. The deal was concluded about a year ago.

Last summer, Prusikin's accounts❶ were blocked by the tax because of a debt of about 50 thousand rubles.

In February of this year it became known that Prusikin ❶ had accumulated a new debt in the amount of 55 thousand rubles.
