We all love to sing songs, but few know the author of the words of their favorite works. But nevertheless, the poet and songwriter Alexander Shaganov is heard by many of our citizens, thanks to his enormous contribution to Russian art.
Childhood and family
Alexander Shaganov was born in 1965 in Moscow. His family was very far from art, none of his ancestors differed in anything creative. Yes, and Sasha himself initially grew up an ordinary child. He did not dream of becoming a great actor or a popular musician. Somewhere in the depths of his soul there was a dream to enter a literary institute, but the boy considered it impossible.
Education
After school, Alexander entered the Institute of Communications. Why go there? Just an educational institution was located next to the house, and there was a military department. What else could an ordinary boy dream about?
Few people knew that Sasha wrote poetry from early childhood. And he wanted the whole country to sing them. Only some of his schoolmate comrades knew about Alexander's addiction and gladly used his poems in their speeches.
Career
After graduating from the Institute of Communications, Alexander Shaganov worked for several years in his specialty. But even here, the future songwriter tried to be closer to the music by choosing the profession of sound engineer.
Meanwhile, God given this poetic gift more and more strengthened and demanded a way out. Alexander began to get acquainted with musicians and offer them his poems. But few people were interested in the work of an unknown sound engineer. Music in our country at that time in general was going through hard times.
But once Alexander Shaganov was lucky. He read one of his poems Vladimirskaya Rus by telephone to the leader of the Black Coffee group. The poem delighted the musician, and the song written soon on these words became a hit.
Thus began the career of songwriter Alexander Shaganov. Soon Alexander met with the Lyube group, and subsequently wrote more than a hundred songs for them. Shaganov also wrote for Zhenya Belousov, Dima Malikov and the Ivanushki-international group. Almost all the hits of these artists were written by Shaganov. His childhood dream came true - now his whole country is singing his songs.
