Biography
In 1964, on August 25, a boy, Sasha, was born in Irkutsk. Then no one could have thought that the world-famous composer, producer and businessman came into being. And there were changes in the life of Alexander quite suddenly.
A boy grew up, like all children, and at the age of three he received a music player from his grandfather. This gift was so liked by the child that he listened to records for days and hours. Probably this gift opened Sasha's interest in art, which has developed more and more over the years.
Alexander grew up in an incomplete family. His father left the family early and nothing is known about him. Mom worked at the enterprise and tried to raise her son as a worthy person. Older guys taught Alexander Shulgin to play the guitar. Studying in the 6th grade, Shulgin became a member of the school ensemble, which after 2 years already played songs composed by Alexander at school concerts. In order for the concerts to be successful, equipment was needed, which was nothing to buy. The guys played only on guitars.
Soon, after selling some home-made equipment, the ensemble gained 800 rubles. But Alexander did not see this money, as the senior comrades divided them among themselves.
Shulgin dreamed of music, so he often changed schools. He entered the IGLU, then went to NI ISTU, from it to the BSUEP. One day, nineteen-year-old Alexander was offered to go to Moscow by participants from the Carnival group, and he agreed. He began to work as a member of the then popular Cruise group, with whom he once came to Germany. A trip abroad made it possible for Shulgin to understand show business and introduced him to recording trends.
After the breakup of the Cruise group, Alexander Shulgin lived in Germany for some time, but missed his homeland and returned to Russia. The producer and musician is known to all not only for his musical talents. Around Alexander, there are constantly scandals that are so beloved by the press. Today, Shulgin is the head of the Surname companies. He took part in musical television projects "Become a Star", "Factory of Stars". He was producer T. Ovsienko, E. Sheremet, Yu. Mikhalchik, Valeria.
