Childhood and youth
Sergei Vladimirovich Mazaev was born on December 7, 1959 in Moscow. Since childhood, little Seryozha loved the music so much that he could sit at home and play music for hours, while his friends played football on the street. However, the boy’s family was not at all against the peculiar retreat of his son, and at the age of 11 he began to master playing the saxophone and clarinet, simultaneously doing vocals. All this was against the backdrop of studying at a simple physical and mathematical school. After graduating from school, Mazaev became a student at the Musical College. Ippolitov-Ivanov (now - GMPI), where he continued to improve in playing the clarinet. After college, Sergei entered the famous Gnesinka, where, in addition to saxophone and clarinet, he mastered playing the trombone and forge.
After graduating, Sergei had to say goodbye to civilian life for some time and go to serve in the army. In the military unit where Mazaev served, they learned about the recruit’s love for music and transferred him to a music company. Since then, his service, to the envy of many, was only a joy. As part of a military orchestra, the young man performed three times in the main square of Moscow.
At some point in his life there was so much music that the young man simply “burned out”. Returning from the army, he decided to enter the economics department of one of the country's most prestigious universities - Moscow State University. Soon, old dreams returned to Sergey, and he, without a doubt, abandons his studies and goes headlong into music.
