Dmitry Pavlovich Vasilevsky was a kind and open person, a talented, bright composer and poet. He did not expect momentary fame, he always remained a true musician, infinitely devoted to his beloved business. How was his creative biography? Dmitry Vasilevsky for his incomplete 49 years managed to become one of the most famous artists of the author’s song. Today we will try to tell a little about his life.
Childhood and youth
March 17, 1964 in Leningrad was born the future famous Soviet and Russian author of popular songs Dmitry Vasilevsky. He studied at school 381, attended a theater studio. For a difficult teenager, classes in the studio were very useful - he stopped skipping classes, was removed from the register in the police. A few years later he was invited to the youth studio "Hippo". According to Dmitry, this was the brightest time in his life. At this time, he met Olga - his future wife.
First songs
In 1980, Dmitry Pavlovich first presented his song “Birch”, dedicated to Vladimir Vysotsky. In the same year, together with Vladimir Manuylov (now a famous musician) and with Stanislav Leikin, the rock band "Marathon" was created. Many people remember the bright rock opera Antonio and Cleopatra, such masterpieces of domestic rock as Whoever is Stronger is Right, Bloody Rain and so on.
Quite typical for a Soviet young man, his biography developed. Dmitry Vasilevsky in 1982 for two years joined the army. It could be said that this period completely fell out of the author’s work, if not for two wonderful meetings - with Anatoly Romashov and with musicians from Lithuania. With the group "Hyperbole" he wrote a small rock album.
After serving in the army, Dmitry met with his new Baltic friends, and was about to move to create in Latvia, but changed his mind because he married Olga and got a job as an assistant to the driver.
Fateful meeting
Probably nothing happens in our lives by accident. And our hero came a moment when a sharp turn made his biography. In 1985, Dmitry Vasilevsky met Anatoly Romashov again, whom he met in the army. He also worked as an assistant engineer and missed without music. Soon, the comrades united, invited other musicians and created a music group at the depot. It did not last long, so soon the singer Dmitry Vasilevsky began a solo career.
