Batyrkhan Kamalovich Shukenov: biography, childhood and youthful time
He was born on May 18, 1962 in the Kazakh city of Kyzylorda. The parents of our hero were not related to music. His mom and dad received a higher economic education. Batyrkhan is the middle child in the family. He has two brothers and a sister.
At school Batyr studied well. His favorite subjects were drawing and singing. From the age of 7, the boy attended a music club. Teachers predicted a bright future for him. And I must say that they were not mistaken. At the age of 12, our hero became interested in playing the guitar. In a short time the boy mastered this tool. Then Batyr began to write the first songs about love and nature.
Student
In 1979, Shukenov Batyrkhan Kamalovich graduated from high school. Then he went to Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). He managed the first time to enter the Institute of Culture. Krupskaya. He also received a diploma from the State Conservatory in the city of Alma-Ata.
"A-studio"
In 1982, Batyr met V. Mikloshich, B. Syzdykov and B. Serkebaev. Soon the guys created the group "Arai". They performed with Rosa Rymbaeva.
In 1987, the team changed its name to A-Studio. If earlier Shukenov only played the saxophone, then in the new group he became a soloist. A couple of years later, Batyr presented his first hit, the song “Julia,” to the audience. Alla Pugacheva herself was imbued with sympathy for the new Kazakh group. She invited the guys to take part in the filming of her "Christmas Meetings." Musicians from Kazakhstan did not miss this opportunity.
In 2000, Batyr left the group and began to develop a solo career. His songs were enjoyed by thousands of people.
Personal life
Shukenov Batyrkhan Kamalovich was never a womanizer and a ladies man. If he fell in love with some girl, then he no longer noticed anyone around.
In the mid-1990s, the musician met the young beauty Katya Shelyakova. Batyr long and persistently courted the girl. And he soon proposed to her. However, the wedding had to be postponed indefinitely. The fact is that in 2000 a couple was born to a child. But he did not live even 40 days. The cause of death of the baby was an intrauterine infection. To recover, the musician decided to leave the A-Studio group.
In 2002, the biography of Shukenov was replenished with a joyful event. Catherine gave him a son, who was named Maksut. Unfortunately, family happiness did not last long. The death of the first-born negatively affected the relationship of the civil spouses. Despite having a common child, Batyr never went with Katya to the registry office.
After some time, Shukenov began an affair with the eastern beauty Aigerim. In November 2008, the couple played a wedding according to Kazakh customs. This marriage was short-lived. Batyr and Aigerim quickly cooled to each other. They divorced quickly and without problems, because they did not have children and joint property.
