The songs of Irina Krug are now known to many of her fans, but still more often they talk about her as the wife of Mikhail Krug. The future performer was born in the military family. As a child, she attended a theater club in the Chelyabinsk House of Culture. Her dream was a career as an actress. She did not immediately connect her life with the scene.
Childhood
At 21, Irina began working as a waitress. For two years she was an employee of one of the city restaurants. The girl got a job at this institution when her first marriage broke up. It was there that Irina met Mikhail Krug, a Russian author and singer of chanson-style songs. By that time, the girl was well acquainted with the musician's work.
The songs of the artist liked the first husband of Irina. However, she did not share such enthusiasm from the chanson of her former spouse and preferred more romantic works.
Acquaintance
Once her head, the director of the restaurant, approached Irina and said that Mikhail Krug was giving a concert in Chelyabinsk, and then his dinner would be held in their establishment. The employer asked Irina to do everything possible so that the guest ate well and was satisfied with the visit. During this dinner, Michael made the girl an unexpected offer - to become his dresser.
The future Irina Krug initially refused, saying that she has a small child and for this reason she can not go. A few months later, the director of the Circle called the girl. He made a second offer of cooperation with the artist, to which she agreed. The daughter from the first marriage did not embarrass Mikhail, and he took the girl to Tver.
A little later, the musician took responsibility for this child, and the girl began to call him dad. In 2001, Irina Krug and Mikhail officially married. Prior to this, for a year, the artist kept her at a distance.
After the death of the spouse
After the death of Michael, Irina Krug was asked to record a number of songs in memory of the famous spouse. This idea was proposed by Vladimir Bocharov, author and performer. As a result, Irina Krug's debut album appeared, which was released in 2004. This record was called "The First Autumn of Separation." There, the singer sings with Leonid Teleshov, who was a friend of the deceased spouse.
A year later, the girl was awarded the Chanson of the Year Award. She won the "Discovery of the Year" nomination. The second album, entitled “To You, My Last Love”, appeared in 2006. Vadim Tsyganov was the producer of this record, which included songs for music and verses by Mikhail Krug. The spouse did not teach Irina to sing, he did not consider her as a performer.
The couple dreamed of children and a joint calm old age. After the death of her husband, the widow found records from her trial album, which was never completed, and actively took up vocals.
