Valery Miladovich Syutkin is a singer and musician, who is often called the main intellectual of the domestic show business. He - former soloist groups "Bravo" and "Syutkin and Co", as well as a number of less famous projects: "Telephone", "Architects", "Feng-o-Man". AT this moment performs with the jazz band Light Jazz.

Childhood and family

Valery Syutkin was born on March 22, 1958 in the center of Moscow, at 16/2 Podkolokolny Lane.

Already in adulthood, Valery, who was seriously interested in history and genealogy, established that his surname was of Ural origin. “In Perm, there lived such a peasant - Nikifor Syutkin. He found the largest bar of gold in this region. And my other ancestor was right hand Peter the Great in the Urals,” said the musician.

Valery's father, Milad Alexandrovich Syutkin, is an engineer from Perm, a teacher at the Military Engineering Academy named after M.V. Kuibysheva, specialist in underground military construction. O rare name Father Valery told the following: “Family legend says that my dad was born very handsome, so my mother awarded him that name.”

The mother of the future musician, Bronislava Andreevna Brzhezidskaya, was a junior researcher at a closed military research institute where Milad Syutkin taught. The ancestors of Bronislava Andreevna are Polish Jews, who later settled in the city of Balta, Odessa region. But Bronislava was born already in Moscow.

Syutkin's parents met in the classroom at dance mug. When Valery was 13 years old, the couple divorced, which was a real tragedy for the boy. The next years of childhood the boy spent under his grandmother's care.

Valery Syutkin's interest in music manifested itself in 1969. The boy saw on TV political program"Seven days", but its content left him indifferent. But the opening song gave him goosebumps. He didn't know then what they were. The Beatles, but firmly decided to learn how to play the guitar in order to play this composition himself.

Interview with Valery Syutkin: about the first steps in music

He quickly mastered the basic chords, but the guys in the yard convinced him to transfer to the drums, promising a place as a drummer in the yard band. Having collected drum kit from improvised materials - tea cans and hat boxes - he learned to play.

In the eighth grade, he, breaking every conceivable labor standards, earned his first 270 rubles as a sales assistant and bought a real drum kit. He gained experience together with the school ensemble "Excited Reality". Over time, in addition to the drums, the musician mastered the bass guitar.

"Telephone"

After graduating from school and a short period of work as an assistant cook at the restaurant "Ukraine", Syutkin joined the army. Serve Valery fell in part on Far East, where he got into the military ensemble "Flight". AT different time many subsequently famous musicians passed through this group in the process of serving in the army, for example, Alexey Glyzin.

At first, Syutkin was a musician, but once the soloist of the ensemble fell ill, and Valery was offered to replace him. It turned out that the drummer had a great voice, and he became the main soloist of Polet.

After demobilization, Valery got a job as a loader at the Belorussky railway station, and a little later he became a conductor on an international train, where he worked for a year and a half.

"Phone" - "Twist Cascade"

In parallel with the main work, Valery did not stop his musical activity. To questions about education, without which in those years it was impossible to get onto the professional stage, the singer answered that he had graduated from the Kirov School of Music. His diploma included the specialty "choir conductor".

In 1982, Syutkin met members of the then little-known Telefon group, who invited him to the team. With his assistance, "Telephone" became a professional touring ensemble. Together with the musicians of VIA "Telephone" Valery recorded the album "Ka-Ka", all the songs in which are connected by a single storyline – folk characters Suleiman Suleimanovich Kadyrov and Lev Abramovich Cascade.

In early 1985, VIA "Telephone" released the second album - "Twist Cascade". On the cover of the release, the name of Syutkin was mentioned for the first time. However, after a while the group broke up.

"Architects" and "Feng-O-Man"

After the collapse of the "Telephone" Syutkin instantly received an invitation to Yuri Davydov's rock group "Architects". I called him there a little earlier, who had transferred to the ensemble Yuri Loza, former musician VIA "Interval". The songs of Vine and Syutkin were previously brought to no one famous group all-Union popularity - Valery's hits "Bus 86", "Sleep, baby", "Time of love" were in rotation on radio and TV, and the newspaper "Moskovsky Komsomolets" included "Architects" in the top five popular bands Soviet Union.

In 1987, the "Architects" experienced a crisis. After a tour of the Ukrainian SSR, Yuri Loza left the group, as a result of which the group performed extremely unsuccessfully at Rock-Panorama-87. In 1988, the keyboard player left the band. Work on the new album "Garbage from the hut" was sluggish - it was released only in 1989 and was received coolly. Against the backdrop of all the troubles, Valery decided to end his cooperation with the "Architects".

After that, the group practically ceased to exist, putting an end to the sixth and last album "Pour" (1991), recorded with vocals by Alexander Martynov.

After parting with the "Architects", Syutkin founded his own musical project- the Feng-O-Man trio, which lasted the next two years and became part of the troupe of Mikhail Boyarsky.

The Feng-O-Man discography turned out to be meager - the only album, Grainy Caviar, was released in 1989. The trio won the Audience Choice Award at the international musical television competition "Step to Parnassus".

Bravo and Valery Syutkin

In August 1990, Valery Syutkin disbanded Feng-O-Man and moved to the Bravo rock and roll band to replace Zhanna Aguzarova at the invitation of the group leader, guitarist and composer Yevgeny Khavtan.

The first time of work in the team was marked by a debate about Syutkin's hairstyle. At that time, Valery had unbridled hair, which absolutely did not fit with the "stylish" image of the group. The controversy over Syutkin's hairstyle did not subside for quite some time, and, in the end, the frontman was forced to give in and bring his hair in line with "rock and roll standards."

Work began on recording the album "Dandies from Moscow", which was released in the same year and turned out to be quite motley. I must say that after the departure of Aguzarova, Bravo was waiting for a lull. Suddenly, the song “Vasya”, recorded jointly by Syutkin and Havtan, “shot out”. The video of the same name cost the group mere pennies, but blew up all the music charts of those years.

Group "Bravo" - "Vasya"

Some of the songs included in the new disc were recorded with Zhanna - these are the compositions “I am sad and light”, “King of the Orange Summer”, “Good evening, Moscow!”, “Fast train”, “Star Shake”. For these songs, Syutkin re-recorded the vocal parts, which were overdubbed on the finished material.

Other songs were new and were already written by Syutkin and Havtan - the iconic "Vasya", as well as "Hold on, dude" and "Girl of sixteen years old". In addition, Valery offered the team a song own composition- “I am what you need”, which later became one of the main hits of the band.

"Bravo" - "I'm what you need"

On August 25, 1990, the group successfully debuted with a new line-up on the Morning Post television project.

With the advent of Syutkin, Bravo gained unprecedented fame. The image of the group, built entirely on the attributes of the dudes subculture, suddenly provided the team with nationwide popularity. key symbol the Bravo group of that period became ties - following the release of the song "Stylish Orange Tie", which became a kind of anthem for Russian dudes.

The band's popularity peaked in 1993-1994. Bravo celebrated the decade on a grand scale with grandiose anniversary concerts, gathering crowded stadiums throughout the former USSR. With the participation of Syutkin, the team released two more albums: "Moscow Beat", "Road to the Clouds", as well as a recording of the concert "Live in Moscow". All records with the participation of Syutkin received multi-platinum status (in Russia, to achieve it, you need to sell 150 thousand copies of the album).

Valery Syutkin after Bravo

In 1995, Valery Syutkin left Bravo. The decision was affected by both the moral and physical exhaustion of the musician - the band gave a lot of concerts, maintaining the high standard of people's favorites.

But main reason became a different vision of the future of the group. Havtan realized that he no longer identifies himself with the lyrical dandy hero so beloved by the public. Syutkin also wanted to move in the same direction and further. Having met with rejection of such a position, he created his own jazz group Syutkin and Co.

Valery Syutkin - "7000 above the ground"

In the same year, the hit "7000 above the ground" from debut album new team "That's what you need" was recognized greatest hit of the year. Syutkin delighted the audience with both solo compositions and duets with Andrei Makarevich, Laima Vaikule, Muslim Magomayev.

The second wife of Syutkin was his girlfriend good friend. The singer also prefers not to advertise her name. Alas, this relationship also did not stand the test of time. The reason for this is the musician's love for opposite sex. “I allowed myself a lot then, which I don’t want to allow now,” Syutkin said. Even the son Maxim, who was born in 1987, did not turn Valery into a respectable father of the family. The wife knew about the adventures of her husband, but closed her eyes for the sake of her son and financial well-being families.

In 1992, Valery became interested in an 18-year-old Bravo dresser named Violetta. And - unexpectedly for himself - fell head over heels in love.

Syutkin filed a claim against the Lurkmore portal, where his photograph was posted in the context of the joke “Beat the woman in the ... [face]”. Moreover, his mother told Syutkin about how his photograph is distributed on the Web. Why the intelligent and peaceful Syutkin became the occasion for jokes of this nature is unknown. Perhaps it is precisely his character that is diametrically opposed to this call that is to blame here.

She is an economist, graduated from Moscow State University, and in 2014 she became the mother of little Vasilisa - now Syutkin has a granddaughter. And the second time he was married to ex girlfriend his friend ... The marriage broke up, because Syutkin was carried in all directions, including to the side ... Maxim was born in 1987, but Valery was not tied to the house. The marriage would have continued “for the sake of the son”, but Syutkin met Violetta! ..

Valery and Viola

It was 1992, Viola was eighteen years old, and she got a job as a costume designer at Bravo. It would seem that the romance of an accomplished musician with an eighteen-year-old should not have ended well, JoInfoMedia journalist Diana Lynn smiles! And he took - and developed. Viola Jr. was born two years later. Now she has already graduated from a college in Switzerland and is studying at a university in Paris. In a word, love simply blooms and smells!

It is even strange that it was in the photographs of Syutkin that they once played on the Internet, making collages with his face and the call to "Beat the woman in ... let's say, conditionally, in the face." Probably the point is that he is a gentle person, with a very happy family, because the game is in contrast! ..

And at first I worked, and then, when there were all sorts of commissions and they asked6 “Do you have an education?”, I gave them a certificate: “And here it is!” So I am a choir conductor… But I still have a lot of professions. I am a bartender, for example, I can pour drinks. I also completed cooking courses, although I hate cooking. Courses of toastmaster, driving a car, conductors of foreign communication ... "

In 1984, Valery Syutkin left the "Telephone" and moved to the group "Architects", which was gaining popularity, led by Yuri Loza. The group performed a lot of "cool" songs and acted funny on stage accordingly. V. Syutkin recalls:

“At the end of each tour, we arranged the so-called “green concerts”, where everyone, from technical staff to musicians and administrators, was kidding to the fullest. It was considered aerobatics when the viewer does not understand anything, although a colossal joke is being played out in front of his eyes in the hall. For example, you work for a whole stadium, and all the technical staff carries a huge rusty pipe back and forth. Moreover, the viewer thinks that this is how it should be, but you can no longer sing and only laugh. There were also sadistic methods. Somehow the technicians rubbed the microphone with garlic. It was impossible to approach him, I immediately began to sneeze and cry. What I've done? I called a technician and had him wipe this microphone with a damp, gasoline-soaked cloth. “Either,” I say, “replace it with a new one, or sing it yourself ...”

Rock 'n' roll is not dead, it feels great. Rock and roll is different. The one about which Boris Grebenshchikov sang (as a state of disagreement, protest) is also, of course, alive. But for me, rock and roll is music that immerses you in a state of fun, lightness, naturalness. And no "plastic" substrate - he took the guitar and played. We do not have any "device". We go out and play on any sound because we don't need mega subs, sequencers, etc. "Are you live?" - many are surprised. How else? It's like coming to the court to play tennis and putting in a stand-in instead of yourself. It means depriving yourself of this pleasure of carving a sound. Voices are heard: “Ban “plywood”, punish plywood workers! Oblige to write on posters! To the light, guys! The song requires a live performance, so that it can be played right now, or at a different pace, or maybe in general, in a different way. She needs movement. As long as there are musicians who play like this, rock and roll is alive.

Valery Syutkin about himself:

I was born on Friday, March 22, 1958 in Moscow, in a house on the corner of Yauzsky Boulevard and Podkolokolny Lane, and I do not regret it.

He began to study music in the early 70s, participating in several amateur bands at once as a bass player or drummer. He became a vocalist by accident, replacing a suddenly ill soloist. The creative task at that time was to perform songs as close as possible to the original, which were the works of the respected "Beatles", "C.C.R", "Deep Purple", "Grand Funk Railroad", "Led Zeppelin" and others. Since then, in the graph " Education" I write - listening to records and working on myself based on what I heard.

We wrote our first song with my school friend Oleg Dranitsky. It was called: "Today I will sleep in the cinema"

Among the pillows, oh Allah
The wife lies in one watch
And nods to me
And I want Bridget Bordeaux
Her and no one else
I won't sleep with my wife anymore
Bridget Bordeaux, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, -
This is what is needed
And there's nothing better to wish for
How to relax with them
I'm going to sleep at the cinema tonight...

The song did not cause an enthusiastic response from parents, but among 14-year-old peers it had some success, however, like everything that our school group "Excited Reality" did.

Focusing himself on music lessons, he selected all his professions in which he had to work on the principle of "as much free time from work as possible." Valery Syutkin worked as a cook's apprentice, a loader, a watchman, and a conductor for foreign carriages.

My job is to entertain people. And that is a rarity today. Because most of today's artists want to shine on stage, not to entertain. And I just like the process - people were in a sluggish state, and suddenly they cheered up. What is the most important thing in this profession? Quickly, accurately determine what song at what volume is needed at this moment in time, how to present it correctly, and if for some reason it failed, maybe roll it up altogether, which one to go to next and then build this chain. Therefore, a piece of paper with a repertoire never lies under my feet. I know the first song with which we will start, and then we sharply build the program ... The only thing we do not play is contemporary pop music. But they don't ask me for it.

Organized in 1979, the group "Telephone" after several years of work in the underground in 1982 became a professional team. Having released several successful magnetic albums, "Telephone" came under increased control of commissions and art. councils of the Ministry of Culture.

Since the songs Soviet composers we did not perform, we did not use keyboard instruments, and, in a line-up of 4 people, suspiciously compact for professional bands of that time, we selflessly sang our own songs. Ugliness!

After 3 years of uninterrupted battles with officials, I confused my tracks in the "Architects" group, whose leader Yuri Davydov skillfully bypassed bureaucratic reefs, even though scandalously hiding in the group besides me for some time famous Yuri Vine.

The changes of the mid-80s allowed us not only to legalize the repertoire, but also to appear on radio and TV with yesterday's criminal songs.

After a series of triumphant tours of stadiums and sports palaces. We parted in three solo directions: "Architects" (headed by Yu. Davydov), Yuri Loza and the trio "Fen-o-Man" of which I was the leader.

The large Russian POP-TRIO "Fen-o-men" as we called ourselves, had a significant contribution to the emerging domestic show business. My body subtraction was more than compensated by the physique of my colleagues Sergey Mirov and Evgeny Yakovlev. The weight of each of them went far beyond the 100 kilogram line.

As part of this trio, we traveled all over the country with the "Diapozon" orchestra as part of the troupe of Mikhail Boyarsky, worked under a contract in Holland and released the disc "Caviar Zenistaya" at the Melodiya company.

But in the summer of 1990, I received an invitation from E. Khavtan to become a partner and soloist of the Bravo group, and from 1990 to 1995 that shock five-year period took place, which allowed me to consider myself an artist not hopeless to this day. We made a whole galaxy of popular songs, but by mid-1995 we began to see the future of Bravo differently. And from that moment on, I took it upon myself to put my own name at the head of my new creative endeavors.

I don’t know who owns the words that I don’t attribute to myself, but I completely agree with them: “A genius is the person who knows that he is talented, but ... continues to work!

At the end of 1992, significant changes began to occur in the personal life of Valery Syutkin - he suddenly fell in love with the 18-year-old costume designer of the group, Violetta. The girl got into the Bravo group under the following circumstances. Once the group performed with concerts in Riga. And since at that time the musicians did without a dresser, one of the band members brought his Riga acquaintance backstage. She then successfully graduated from the Chemical Technology College and worked as a fashion model in the Riga House of Models. However, as soon as she was offered to leave the podium and go to work at Bravo, she immediately agreed. For six months, Syutkin and Viola communicated with each other as colleagues, until one day something happened.

Recalls Valery Syutkin: “We were returning from the tour. It was early in the morning, we were riding in the back seat of a taxi and, exhausted from the flight, slept while we were taken one by one to our homes. And in a dream there was a kiss! It happens! The most interesting thing is that there was no prelude to this kiss. And after that, when we woke up, we didn’t say anything to each other, we drove, got out of the car and parted ways. different sides. As if nothing had happened. A month has passed, and all this time the kiss haunted us ... "

It is worth noting that at that time Valery Syutkin was married for the second time, and in this marriage he had a son (he had a daughter from his first marriage). However family life his was far from ideal, otherwise he would not have rushed headlong into all new amorous hobbies. The singer once admitted: “I was a womanizer. I had some girls, I met here, there and somewhere else at the same time. I had to deceive, get out ... This is basically normal if a person leads the life of a womanizer and does not hide it. I then had the feeling that interesting life passes by me, and I tried to keep up with her - noisy companies, girls here and there. It was good...”

When Valery Syutkin began a relationship with Violetta, colleagues decided that this was another love affair at work their comrade. Moreover, many knew that Viola already had another young man, whom she almost married. A wedding dress was sewn, friends were invited, a restaurant was ordered, but Viola suddenly changed her mind. After that, the young man did not leave the courtship of Viola and hoped in his heart that sooner or later she would become his wife. But then suddenly the lead singer of Bravo appeared on the horizon.

Valery Syutkin recalls: “After the kiss, there was a pause ... I tried to explain to myself: is this a girl interested in me? Although she continued to behave the same way as before. Here I already took the initiative, and then everything was like in French cinema, with a flash: a crazy evening turning into a night when I realized what love is in an alloy of physiology, tenderness and charm, and could not understand with whom else I could be like this as close as with her. She just brought me, an adult, out of balance. After the epochal kiss, a week passed, and the romance began. For four months we managed to hide it...

Then we had a very serious conversation, because three or four times we tried to stop everything, and Viola said that, probably, everything goes very far and it makes no sense to ruin the knurled. I was torn into two fronts, I had to lie, but I could not, I suffered. I can’t imagine how people live in two families or when a man has a wife and a mistress all the time. I realized that I had to make a choice. Viola was right - my moral character was far from perfect, and she looked at me the way any woman looks in this situation at a man who spends time with her and then goes to the family. Disgusting! In general, plucking up courage and not leading up to the fact that everything is overgrown with rumors, I said everything myself. For the family, it was thunder, the earth parted - relations reached extremely hostile ... "

Despite the fact that Valery Syutkin left home in what he was, left a three-room apartment and a car, his wife never forgave him for betrayal. At first, she even forbade him to see the child, so Syutkin was forced to help him financially almost secretly. According to Viola, it was terribly hard for them for a couple of years ... It turned out that people are completely ill-mannered and don’t understand anything, they don’t want to be good, but they crave scandals, wanting to do bad things to a person full program. Since they did this to me, then you will receive ...

On March 12, 1993, Valery Syutkin and Viola rented a one-room apartment and started life from scratch. The only valuable thing in their household at that time was a small TV set, which they dragged around with them for three years in all rented apartments. And yet, despite the difficulties, their family continued to exist.

Valery Miladovich Syutkin - quotes

Living within your means is not a shame, it is a shame to overspend.

The crisis is the business of men.

Stronger than light, but lighter than darkness is the night at this early hour. How strange it is to dream without closing your eyes. How strange to hear in the middle of a dream a little louder than silence How the blue moon of the blue moon breathes evenly into the shadow of the window ... The stars and lanterns go out in the rays of dawn The night melts leaving me the whisper of leaves in the open window. And tomorrow it will be a long day again, but at this early hour I vaguely see only a shadow without closing my eyes. The night is leaving, it's already quite light, but dreams remain About how the leaves whisper the blues of the blue moon through the window.
