Biography
In September 1955, on the 26th in the Soviet city of Leningrad, the future musician Edmund Mechislavovich Shklyarsky was born. The artist’s father was a Pole by birth, which is why Edmund communicated in his native Russian and Polish languages from childhood. From an early age, the boy had a genuine interest in music, he studied piano at school, but did not receive a diploma in music education. After several years of training, he abandoned a music school. After he became interested in playing the violin, but his academic career was cut short due to Edmund's acquaintance with rock music. Impressed by the hits heard by such groups as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, he began to master the guitar on his own.
Despite the passion for heavy music, Edmund graduated from a higher educational institution and received a full education in the specialty "Construction of Nuclear Power Plants."
