The star of the Russian chanson Mikhail Krug, whose biography, unfortunately, is too short, did not dream of a great career as a musician. He simply loved music very much and could not imagine his life without it. From a young age, he began to play the guitar and sing songs of his own composition.
Mikhail Krug: biography
The detailed history of his life has already been described by many admirers of his talent, but today we will try to consider the main points of his work and life path. The future artist was born in Tver in 1962 on April 7. His song “My Sweet City” was written about these native places. The real name of the famous artist is Vorobyov. From the age of six, Mikhail was very fond of listening to the songs of Vladimir Vysotsky, and already at eleven, having learned to play the guitar, he successfully rehashed them. At fourteen, he wrote his first poems for a classmate, to whom he had warm feelings. As his relatives and childhood friends recall, Mikhail studied very poorly at school, often escaped from school and was a real bully. For some time he studied at the music school playing the button accordion, but when he became bored, dropped out of school. After eight classes of a comprehensive school, the future artist was educated as a repairman at Tver School No. 39. Then he served in the army and worked as a driving instructor in a military school.
Mikhail Krug: biography - the beginning of a musical career
After the army, Michael decided to get married. But the bride’s parents set a condition for him - to get a higher education, since their daughter is educated, and in husbands they are ready to see only an equal person to her. Mikhail enters the institute, where in 1987 he participates in a songwriting competition and wins. This was the first impetus for serious work in the field of music. Soon, Michael quits his job as an instructor and institute and gives all his energy and time to creativity. So there was a new star of the Russian chanson - Mikhail Krug. The biography of the artist contains information that by 1996, when his first concert was held, he had already released four albums. Almost all of the songs were dedicated to a girl named Marina, whom he loved with his first pure youthful love.
