In October 2018, the founder of Russian pop-rock, Ilya Lagutenko, turned 50 years old. He lives in Los Angeles, makes films ("SOS to the sailor"), writes music and is happily married to model Anna Zhukova, with whom he has two daughters. But the musician also has a son from his first marriage - Igor Lagutenko, who will be discussed in this article.
Origin
It's hard to believe, but the birthday of the Mumiy Troll group is 1983, when its founder was only 15. And it was still quite far from the star composition "Flow away". In Vladivostok, where the Lagutenko family lived, the young musician was a rather popular personality and was very popular with the girls. Once, while fishing, he met the beautiful Elena Troinovskaya, who later became his first wife. In 1987, he was only 19 years old, the army was waiting for him, but the girl became pregnant, and the couple entered into a marriage that lasted until 2003.
Igor Lagutenko was born in 1988, on May 17th. His mother, an ichthyologist by education, turned out to be a very good wife and mother. She took care of the house and the child, while the elder Lagutenko received his higher education at the Far Eastern University, trained in China and the UK, and restored the Mumiy Troll group.
Together with her young son, she followed her husband to London, where he got a job in one of the companies. When the company went bankrupt, Ilya Igorevich began to promote his musical group, and Elena became the group's manager. For a while, little Igor, who perfectly mastered English, was sent to his parents in Vladivostok, where he studied at a Russian school.
Two years later, the boy was again taken to his place, where he continued his education. Officially, the parents divorced in 2003. The reason was the numerous betrayals of Lagutenko Sr. After the divorce, out of resentment, Elena began working as the manager of the main competitors of the Mumiy Troll team - the Brothers Grim group.
Hobbies
In an interview in 2015, Igor Lagutenko (his photo is presented in the article) shared what he had achieved by the age of 27. At that time, he was a coach and an active rugby player, as well as a music producer. Under his command there were two bands - Echotape and "Mumiy Troll". The young man organized a tour of the largest cities of Britain with his father's musical group, and the young band Echotape worked as an opening act for them. He was proud of his accomplishments, humorously saying that he lived to be his own father's boss.
Igor Lagutenko received a good education, speaks perfect English, but from the age of 12 his main passion was playing rugby. Therefore, the young man chose a college with a sports bias and a similar university faculty. At first he was among the fans of Chelsea and played a little tennis. However, the physical education teacher saw in him the makings of a rugby player and invited him to the section. First, Igor played for the school, and then for the club. In the 2010/2011 season SaracensAmateurs, in which the younger Lagutenko played, even became the winner of the Premier League.
Relationship with father
In 2018, the anniversary was celebrated not only by the founder of the Mumiy Troll group, but also by his son. Igor turned 30. All the tabloids asked Ilya Lagutenko how his heir's life is going and whether he helps him with advice. According to the answers, one can judge that Ilya Igorevich is proud of his son. So, he called his recommendations "old man", which the young man clearly does not need.
He likes that Igor Lagutenko is completely independent, but at the same time he believes that he is still looking for his own business, which will capture him entirely. That is why the guy does not yet have a family, and the elder Lagutenko has no grandchildren. It is clear from the interview that the cooperation between father and son continues. Igor promotes his father's compositions online and also in the UK, but his work is linked to other projects.
Today
Igor Ilyich Lagutenko is actively represented in social networks, unlike his father, who does not pay serious attention to this aspect of life. He actively participated in the V-Rox International festival and also produces a rising star from New Zealand. We are talking about Graham Candy, who performs his own works. Igor Lagutenko represents the interests of the 27-year-old musician who moved to Berlin in Russia, the B altic States and the UK.
Candy viewers may know by participating in the thriller "Queen of Carthage", which brought him popularity in New Zealand and beyond. I would like to hope that Lagutenko Jr. will still take his niche in the world of show business.
