Zhdamirov Vladimir Nikolaevich - a famous musician, one of the creators of a separate direction of chanson. We will talk about the biography and work of this talented person in the framework of this article.
Childhood
This prominent musician was born on August 6, 1958 in the Voronezh region. He was not the only child in the family, so he grew up in a highly competitive environment, since each of the children wanted more attention and praise from his parents.
Parents surrounded the children with constant attention and care, and, despite the difficult and difficult years of deprivation, they tried to fence, to wall their childhood, showing only the good side of life. And never, never focused on the bad. As if she did not exist at all.
Only the children still could not help but see the truth. Around everything was not that bad, but not good at the same time. Gradually, life deteriorated, and the childish inquiring mind perfectly understood this. But while the family was responsible for them, until they were left on the streets, the children could take their word for mom and dad. Having matured, they set off with their own feet to plow the expanses of their immense homeland. And then the truth itself surfaced.
Youth
The youth of the guy was, to put it mildly, unsafe. In his youth there was hooliganism and constant drives to the police. The young guy lived to the fullest. For him, there was only one day, and everything except him - yes burn it all with fire, let it be lost! Several times the teenager was close to truly going to jail. But thanks to the connections of his parents, and simply incredible cosmic luck, the young man escaped the stigma “criminal” that was shameful in those days.
This could not continue anymore. Since the parents were associated with art, and the guy’s brother, not just anyone, but an honored artist in the field of dance genre, it is not surprising that Vladimir decided to forget about the criminal’s curve and narrow road and, with his father’s parting words, decided to seriously engage in music and independent creativity.
Having quickly entered the taste, the guy begins to try to record his own songs. Little by little, the ability to play the guitar and a stronger voice allow him to record the first test songs. His personal level as a musician is growing, and the guy urgently seeks to find like-minded people.
Becoming an artist
Well, then time rushed to run. It started, went, spun, spun. Home-made guitars that were made in the evenings in the courtyard, drinking alcohol. VIA, work at dances and weddings, to the noise of drunken guests and the cries of “Gorky” to the newlyweds. Vladimir tries to perform constantly, but a busy schedule gradually kills his desire to write real music. The musician’s career is limited to such small performances, and although he has a stable income and in some way fame, the man wants something more. Something else, but what, unfortunately, he does not know at all.
A new round in the biography of Vladimir Zhdamirov occurred in 1997, when he met Oleg Simonov. Oleg was only released from prison, where he wrote most of the texts for future songs. Vladimir was one of many performers to whom Oleg offered cooperation, but was the only one whose voice, charisma and dedication helped to make the right choice, which determined the fate of both for years to come. Their first joint project was called “Far Light”, and, according to many, it was he who became a turning point in the life of the authors of the project, forever changing their small world of music, showing it to the world exactly as the creators themselves saw it.
Cooperation
Relations within the team did not develop almost immediately after its foundation. No, two adults with a wealth of experience behind them did not arrange demonstrative scenes and did not quarrel over trifles, as if that was what their life consisted of. But sometimes there were real conflicts of interest. Two musicians could not decide what their young group should become in the world of music and in what direction they would move.
For this reason, the success of the group came after a rather long time, and the musicians had to make a lot of effort for this. The first songs of Vladimir Zhdamirov were not very warmly received by the public. The team, of course, attended events for money, and gave a number of concerts. But the music of Vladimir Zhdamirov and his group was of average quality, and people immediately heard this and could not enjoy the singing and playing of men in plenty.
I had to sit down and agree among themselves. The reconciliation of the two sides was long, but gradually, with the opening and the emergence of dialogue, the quality of the songs began to improve. Of course, new songs did not bring world fame, but people already began to wait for them, somehow showing the singers signs of love and attention.
The end of the work of "High Beam"
The group ended its existence in the High Beam format for several reasons. Firstly, the ideas for the songs became much less, and it seems like creative disagreements, forgotten and buried in the ground, began to appear again. The musicians did not want to go through not the most pleasant moments of creativity again and decided to finish it on a high note, remaining friends.
Secondly, it began to seem to the audience and listeners at the concerts that musicians can do much more than give out emotions and show them as the music they wrote. Letters from fans began to contain more and more hopes that musicians would make a truly chic project that would return them to the Olympus of Russian music again.
Due to these circumstances, the men made a joint decision to open a new chapter in their life. They say little about this stage, but from the words that the journalists managed to draw from them, it is clear that now, after so much time, they have no regrets.
Butyrka
Further, the musician became one of the participants in a new band called Butyrka. Vladimir Zhdamirov already definitely wanted to make chanson songs and gathered new like-minded people around him.
In 2002, the band released their first album, entitled "First Album." The disc was a stunning success. Listeners finally got something new, but among them were those who did not like the new music. But even without them, the team had an impressive fan base, and in a short time the Butyrka group became one of the most popular chanson performers in Russia.
Of course, such news could not but reflect on the creativity and goal-setting of the group. The main thing in this story is that fame was not at all accidental. Listeners finally got the desired piece of normal creativity, and the voice with the presentation of the singer also played a role. New glory.
The new album was released at the end again of 2002. The group decided to hit the iron while it was hot, and pounced on the music, like a wild dog on a person. The album of Vladimir Zhdamirov and his team again liked the public. The group has already firmly established itself in its positions. The work of Vladimir Zhdamirov and the whole team was appreciated, which means that you could relax a bit and think about what to do now with fame and with responsibility placed on their courageous shoulders. The number of corporate events, performances and just concerts doubled, if not tripled in one month. Everyone wanted to listen and watch live on the musicians and their presentation. The price tag for performances has increased, along with it, the opinion of artists about their own person has grown.
Stars
The group began to receive all kinds of national prizes and awards. Musicians abandon the writing of new songs and tour across the country with an old and proven program. They are warmly welcomed in every city, they are stars and are worthy of the warmth and fidelity of people's hearts. They always have full halls, and sometimes they play half-heartedly. But even such performances like the public.
Artists begin to attend thematic programs, expand their staff and open new vacancies. Now they are not just musicians, they are a brand, and the brand’s task is to match the level.
Problems within the team
But nothing lasts forever under the moon. The group, of course, had problems and disagreements, which they skillfully hid from the audience. But even if they can be fooled by setting out the desired for the real, then you certainly cannot fool yourself.
In December 2013, staff changes took place in the team, which will become the final chord in life, and most importantly, in the work of the once-famous group. Instead of Vladimir, a new vocalist is hired. Before this, no one informs a man of a previously adopted decision, which, in essence, is an undercover game of other participants.
A new twist in the biography - Vladimir Zhdamirov is being presented with a choice, but to the credit of the latter, he simply accepts this as a fact. Of course, it’s hard for him, of course, he doesn’t want to leave his partners. But the choice was not made by him, which means that nothing depends on him.
Vladimir collects musicians who do not want to work without him, and together they leave Butyrka, leaving this musical project behind.
After the Butyrka
After parting with the group, Vladimir was in a difficult situation. He didn’t have the right to perform his songs, he could not immediately begin to write new ones either. Studios were expensive, so to begin with, the creative association of people who left Butyrka worked somehow, only getting ready to start from scratch. Cheap corporate parties returned, the atmosphere of communication between musicians and listeners returned. He again begins to read his letters himself, again begins to answer them and is interested in the opinion of the fans. The departure of fame is beneficial to him, and soon he will record the first solo album, which begins to play and sound in the world.
Solo debut
On the first day of winter 2014, the official release of the debut solo album "Spring Fence" took place. Vladimir Zhdamirov is not upset. He continues to do what he loves - music. The song "Spring" by Vladimir Zhdamirov has become popular on the air. The tour begins, human love returns to the singer.
