Chemist - the first education of a musician. He graduated from Moscow State University, and for some time he worked in the research institute.
In 1979, Efremov radically changed his familyactivity and joined the group "Time Machine", taking the place behind the drum set. He himself says that chemistry was very fond of school, he successfully studied two courses at the university, and then as "chopped off", and completely switched to music. He did not rule out that he might return to it someday.
In 1981 he starred in the movie "Soul", like other members of his group.
In 2000 he released a solo album by Valery Efremovunder the ambiguous title of "Confused story." This news was almost a sensation, but later it turned out that this is the April Fool's joke "Time Machine", as the drummer never sang, always was in the back of the instrument scene.
Love for music was permeated with the whole life of Valery. Even in school days in Mytishchi, he played in the group "Avangard" at weddings and discos. Practically any repertoire. Then Efremov Valery from 1976 to 1979 was a member of the group "Leap Year". In the "Time Machine" he moved to 1979. He liked that during the rehearsals there were no clear instructions on how to play the material, but everything was collectively invented on the go and quickly, with euphoria embodied in compositions.
June 24 in 1999 Valeria was awarded the Order of Honor for Merit in the development of musical art. The event was timed to the thirtieth anniversary of the "Time Machine".
Answering a question about whether the team will reachthe celebration of "fifty works", Valery does not agree with this wording and I am confident that the group will create as long as everyone likes it, and suddenly that, I'm ready to continue studying music myself.

A new wave of popularity came when the compositionValery Efremov joined the legendary group in 1979. "Time Machine" just experienced the collapse of the creative team. Kutikov returns to the group, bringing Ephraim with him. With the new composition there are compositions "Turn", "Crystal City", "Candle" and "Whom you wanted to surprise". In the same year, "Time Machine" is ranked among the Moscow Comedy Theater of the Roskontsert. In 1980, the group became a laureate at the All-Union rock festival called "Spring Rhythms", and was recognized by millions of listeners.
As Efremov tells us in his memoirs, the theater was for them something of a cover for the real creativity that they were engaged in, so as not to cause suspicion of the competent authorities.
In addition to musical activity, Valery Efremovfound for himself another exciting hobby - windsurfing. This sport allows him to remain alone with nature, hear it, enjoy the surrounding sounds.

Through him was the whole team, remaining faithful friends and creative allies to the present day, delighting his fans with new concerts and compositions.
