Thanks to him, the whole country learned about the existence of such a talented singer as Valeria. It was he who made her a famous artist and became the father of her three children. Today you will learn the biography of Alexander Shulgin, a producer and composer. How did he start his career and what is this extraordinary person doing now?
Biography of Alexander Shulgin
The future composer was born on August 25, 1964 in the city of Irkutsk. Interest in music and poetry appeared in school years. He wrote his first poem while still a primary school student and dedicated it to his mother. After some time, he was carried away by music, and at the age of 12 he was a full-fledged member of the school ensemble. Of the instruments, he chose the guitar and began to learn to play compositions from the school repertoire. Soon the team began to supplement their repertoire with the songs "Time Machine" and "Sunday".
At the age of 14, the biography of Alexander Shulgin could be replenished with a record of the court verdict. Only saved himage. Together with the guys, he stole a megaphone in the city park. The musicians decided to use it instead of an amplifier, but their theft was discovered by the headmaster. Alexander got off with a fright, but the other participants received two years probation. This incident did not affect the love of music. In addition, the young man studied well and went to regional olympiads.
First steps in show business
At the concert of the Carnival group, Alexander had a chance to meet the musicians. They were able to discern in the modest young man the tough grip and flair of an enterprising person. Together with them, Shulgin left for Moscow, where he soon joined the Cruise team. At that time, it was strictly forbidden to perform songs and music of one's own composition, so Alexander had to bypass more than a dozen instances in order to achieve the acceptance of his group's musical program. After approval, they went to Germany, where they toured successfully for 4 years. After the team broke up, Shulgin stayed to properly study the system of show business.
Homecoming
Several projects implemented in Germany convinced Alexander that he was ready to return home and start a career in the world of music. First of all, he opened several firms and began to look for partners. He had grandiose plans - to find a talented performer or group and promote it in the West. Soon the first clients appeared - foreigners who wanted to do business in Russia. In order not to lose face in front of potential partners, the composer led themto the most prestigious bar on Taganka.
A significant acquaintance
Even then, the novice entrepreneur did not know that this evening would completely change his life. His guests noticed a thin girl who played jazz in the bar. At this moment, Alla Perfilova entered the biography and personal life of Alexander Shulgin. The young man carefully watched the young performer and after the performance approached her and offered to contact him to discuss joint work. The young provincial woman was flattered by the attention of the capital businessman, and soon they were already discussing the concept of her first album.
At that time the girl was married, so at first the relationship with Shulgin was only within the framework of professional interest. After recording her first album abroad, she returned home with the sonorous pseudonym "Valeria" and filed for divorce. In 1992, two records were recorded - "Stay with me" and "Symphony of the Taiga". Both sold well in the West, but in Russia they did not find a response in the hearts of listeners. Then there was a wedding, and soon the girl realized that she would soon become a mother.
Triumph
The birth of a daughter coincided with the release of the third album. He was given the name in honor of the newborn - "Anna". It was a high point in the biography of the composer Alexander Shulgin - four songs at once became number one hits. "Airplane", "Ordinary Affairs", "Good Morning" and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" occupy the first lines in the charts, and Valeria becomes a famous singer. In 1997, the new album "Surname, Part 1" was released and a frank video forsong "The Night is Tender". Shulgin repeated the success of "Airplane" - the video is black and white with transitions that were new for that time. But the real triumph is yet to come - in 2000, almost all the songs of the First Internet Album become hits.
Final
The first year of the new millennium becomes another success in terms of creativity - "Eyes of the Color of the Sky" becomes the best-selling album of the year, and the compositions "Tayu", "Snowstorm", "Don't lie", "You are somewhere out there" just explode the charts. In his personal life, a turning point occurs - his wife, along with three children, leaves him and files for divorce. Devastating articles appear in the press about the real essence of a brilliant producer - he beat his wife and children for 10 years. He tries to refute these rumors, but Valeria's words are believed much more. In the biography of Alexander Shulgin, unpleasant pages are revealed one after another.
From that moment the name of the composer is practically not mentioned in the press. Even his children refuse to communicate with their father. He still has a record company, where dozens of popular artists have successfully recorded their albums. He tries to produce other young singers, but fails to repeat the success. But all the songs of Valeria, which her husband wrote for her, are still hits, and the whole country sings them.
