A huge number of viewers first saw this handsome young man with a charming smile at the concert of Mikhail Zadornov in his Zadorinka. This clockwork guy was so infectiously fun and with great enthusiasm to play the piano, his fingers flew so fast on the keys, and he sang the songs in different languages in a remarkably posed voice that he wanted to listen again and again. We meet Brandon Stone, whose biography is still little known to the general public.
Children's years of the future star
Future pianist, arranger, brilliant young singer Brandon Stone (real name Besik Shpetishvili) was born in Georgia, in the city of Tbilisi, in 1980. As a very young boy, he studied music a lot, treasured and admired it very much. He really wanted to be able to play drums, but in Georgia, almost all children should master the piano. As a result, I learned everything, even playing the guitar. He was only five years old, and he was part of the vocal-instrumental ensemble "Saplings", which was known both on the territory of Georgia and the entire Soviet Union.
Brandon Stone, whose biography is still little known, went abroad with his parents when he was fifteen years old. At first, the family lived in America, and later moved to Germany, where they all live now.
USA and Germany: the path to yourself
Having moved to Germany, Brandon Stone, a biography whose personal life has been interested in admirers of his talent for several years, becomes a student at the Berlin Conservatory, which he graduates from in the piano class of the jazz department.
Harry Hinde and Joel A.Katz, who have been producing world-class stars for many years - Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Tony Braxton and others, have also become pro-talenters of young talent from Tbilisi. Brandon was lucky to record several of his first compositions in one of the most famous recording studios. And not everyone has such an opportunity. It was during this period of his life that he received his stage name “Brandon Stone”. Besik's biography began to be replenished with new facts: despite such a successful start to a career in the USA, it was in Germany that Stone earned himself the name of an arranger, singer, composer and producer.
He is sure that his soul is not yet Germanized. It has Georgian and Russian roots. Such is he, Brandon Stone. Biography, Nationality this young man began to evoke genuine interest from the very day he first appeared on the Russian stage. Moreover, in his few interviews, he talks about how he is attracted to write just minor music, according to the throwing of the soul.
Brandon as he is ...
The very first tunes of Brandon as a composer were released in the early 2000s, but the album in Russian was released only five years later, in 2005. Then the young man takes part in the “New Wave”, in Jurmala, where Tina Karol performed his song. That year she took second place and received a special prize. Stone's next album appeared only seven years later.
Brandon Stone himself, biography which now - continuous victories both in all sorts of competitions and over himself, became the leader after the first competition day, and then the winner. "New Wave" was already completed when the guy wrote two songs for Tina, which instantly became hits in Ukraine. Brandon was invited to shoot the TV show "Song of the Year." He still maintains a working relationship with Karol and plans to record her new album at the studio of his production center.
The geography of his presentations is very extensive: Riga, Paris, Brussels, Minsk, Kiev, Moscow ...
Brandon sees very little of his family, his little daughter and wife, and mostly at the table when they have breakfast, lunch or dinner. He always has a lot of work - arrangements, backing vocals, phonograms, preparing for concerts ... Therefore, he tries to spend rare free evenings with his girls, walking along the streets or parks.
Ironically important
Mikhail Zadornov saw Brandon several years ago when he took part in the New Wave contest, representing Spain. Then there was a meeting of the beautiful and the funny. According to the Russian comedian, he saw a guy who was amazingly “rinsing” the piano. Zadornova was bribed by the fact that the musician tried to express himself in the game, in music, and did not build himself a star. They spoke in English, because the comedian spoke English better than Brandon Stone, whose biography is now connected with Russia, in Russian. Zadornov suggested singing several songs in Russian together, Brandon agreed and began to intensively learn Russian according to the system of the teacher - Zadornov. The system of the latter was based on the simple fact that all languages were descended from Russian. And it worked.
Fathers and children are not a problem, but an amazing tandem
Brandon Stone - a biography whose personal life (and a pretty singer has a wife, Natalya and daughter Louise) is now of great interest to fans, learned the language in six months. And Zadornov presented him a song that was written four decades ago by Leonid Filatov and Vladimir Kachan - “Lenka”. So suddenly a wonderful tandem of fathers and children turned out: the taste and content of the older generation, and energy and performance - the young. It was decided to continue to show that fathers and children are quite capable of understanding each other, so the new duo continued to work. Besik wrote music to the verses of Yevtushenko and Gumilyov, made arrangements for Soviet and Russian folk songs. Since only he had a rumor in the duet (Zadornov once said about himself that the bear not only stepped on his ear, but also danced the quadrille there), it was he who caught the melody in Zadornov’s tunes and dressed it in notes.
Now Zadornov in his concert often presents him like this: “The“ cool ”singer and musician Brandon Stone performs. But he’s “cool” because he has Zadornov himself “on the back”.
Once the great Buddha said that at first the eastern values will lose their strength, but then they will return to people from the West. Today, when you hear European Brandon singing Russian songs, you understand that Buddha was right ...
