Even a person from a small town can become famous thanks to his talent and hard work. Alexander Zakshevsky confirms that this is true. By the age of 35, he became a recognizable chansonnier not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia. To this he went almost the entire conscious life and is not going to stop there.
short biography
Alexander Zakshevsky was born in Voznesensk - a small town in Ukraine. At home, the future singer was a Soviet synthesizer, to whom he showed interest from the first years of his life. At about 5-6 years old, he already tried to pick up the melodies of his favorite songs by ear. Somehow his father found him in this occupation. He decided to send him to a music school, as the child's craving for art was very strong.
At the entrance tests, teachers noted the talent of Alexander and took him to two departments at once. He played the piano and guitar. By the time he arrived, he already knew how to select the simplest melodies and developed a very sensitive hearing, so for some time he did an excellent job with his studies. Later, judicious Alexander refused to play the guitar and threw all his strength into studying the piano. In music school, he had another favorite subject - he was happy to attend singing lessons.
First job
Along with studying at a music school, Alexander Zakshevsky, whose biography shows how hard work can pave the way for fame, studied at Voskresensky secondary school No. 1. There, he showed himself as an active and creative person, participating in all events. Teachers and peers of Alexander were very fond of attending concerts with the participation of a young man.
By the time of graduation from the music school, Alexander was presented with a modern synthesizer. After this event, he spent hours sitting at the instrument. At the age of 15, the hero of today's story went onto the stage of a local restaurant, where he earned his first money. Alexander Zakshevsky became a very recognizable person. He began to be invited to weddings, anniversaries and other events. He did not refuse any of the offers. The young man put aside all earned money in order to fulfill his cherished dream.
Success
When a sufficient amount was accumulated, Alexander Zakshevsky bought musical equipment and created a small recording studio at home. This helped him to become not only a performer, but also to master the specialization of the arranger. At the same time, he began to compose his own songs. Having fulfilled the dream of opening his own studio, he proceeds to realize another one - to record his own disc.
In 2010, they started talking about the singer. He became successful both as an author and as a performer. At first, the musician was able to take second place at the Milky Way festival, which was dedicated to the memory of Nikolai Kravchenko. Then, six months after the first victory, he was recognized as the best chansonnier at the international festival "Russia and Ukraine - together." Almost simultaneously with this event, Alexander Zakshevsky, whose photo is presented in the article, is releasing his first solo album, "River of Life ...".
How popular is Alexander?
Due to his success, the musician was able to record the second album not at home, but at a professional studio. It was his own creative workshop “ZAK STUDIO”. It was in it that he turned from a restaurant singer into a successful and talented composer. In addition, he took up web design to independently maintain a personal website.
Additionally, the singer shot clips on his own compositions.
In 2011, he performed at several festivals at once, including participating in events held in Belarus and Russia. One of the most popular and recognizable compositions from his first records was “My Angel”, “Beloved Woman” and “Night”. These and other compositions got into rotation at once on several Ukrainian and Russian radio stations. The most popular they began to use in St. Petersburg, where they were put on the air at once three local stations.
What is the singer doing now
Recently, tracks began to appear, which are no longer in solitude performed by Alexander Zakshevsky. Friends helped write down his compositions: “Meeting” (duet with Alena Prudich), “Come on, brother” (co-creation with Evgeny Konovalov, many other songs were recorded with him), “Take a walk until the morning” (song recorded from Dmitry Romanov).
Almost every year, the singer releases a solo album, and at the end of 2016 he created the collection “New and Best Songs”, which included his hits with slightly changed arrangements. On this disc appeared some compositions performed together with other chansonniers.
In 2017, the chansonnier continued to work on new hits. He devotes all his free time to performances in the studio. Now he no longer performs other people's hits (as it was in the beginning, when the singer collected songs to record the first album), and he writes his own compositions very successfully. In addition, he continues his concert activities and delights listeners with solo performances and participation in various events. He is a frequent guest at chanson festivals and is a regular participant in national concerts.
