Biography

Sasha was born on June 7, 1957 in the city of Korenovsk, located in Krasnodar region. The boy's parents were far from art; their calling was completely different. My father was a military man and worked as a pilot designer, and my mother was a dentist.

From the age of seven, his parents sent their son to two schools at once, a regular general education school and a music school, where the boy learned to play the piano. Due to the father's duty, the family had to move from place to place, so they ended up in Tikhoretsk.

Thanks to the presence of hearing, Alexander, being in at a young age, began to pick out the first chords on the guitar on his own and soon became friends with this instrument.

One day, Alexander’s mother, Lyudmila Ivanovna, being a strict woman, broke Sasha’s guitar for disobedience. It was for him great tragedy, but at the same time came the realization that parents need to be obeyed. After that incident, an unpleasant incident occurred between Alexander’s parents, the head came to his son’s defense.

A difficult choice in favor of creativity

It all started on the dance floors; as a sixth-grader, Sasha gathered like-minded people of his age and together they formed a team, calling it “Stepnyaki”. This happened in Salsk. Word of mouth did its job and soon the group began to be invited to perform at discos, in parks and even on.

At a time when it was time to think about a profession, Alexander Minkov, this is the real name of the now famous singer, could not make a choice between aviation and music.

After weighing all the pros and cons, the young man entered the Stavropol Higher Military Aviation School, choosing the specialization “combat control navigator.” This happened in 1974. Despite the seemingly already made choice, the future pilot was irresistibly drawn to, and he began recruiting people for the team. After studying for two years, the guy finally realized: his love for music is stronger.

Before making the final decision, he consulted with his father and he, with sadness in his eyes, said: “aviation does not like random people" My mother took this news much more difficultly; she wanted her son to be settled in life and have a real profession.

However, it was not possible to simply leave the army. At the insistence of his father, the son had to serve another year as an ordinary soldier.

Gorky Park project

The time has come when Alexander was finally able to devote himself to his favorite business. But everything was not as simple as we would like. The young man understood that he had long since outgrown the age when he could sit on his parents’ necks. I had to earn it myself. He took on any job, and sometimes he was invited to play.

One day, an old friend called Alexander and casually mentioned that they needed a guitarist and offered to try collaborating. Without thinking twice, Alexander, who by that time already had the nickname “Marshal,” agrees to this adventure.

The guy went to Moscow with the thoughts that nothing good would come of this, so be it, at least he would get to know the capital better. From that moment it began creative biography However, there are also changes on the horizon in my personal life.

Everything that Sasha dreamed about in the depths of his soul for many years began to come true in the 80s. The team to which he was invited turned out to be the best; all the capital’s youth knew about it, literally going crazy with Western music.

After a short period of time, Sasha collaborated with Mosconcert. This was a real big push forward. Acquaintance with significant figures in show business, including Stas Namin, work in his groups “Araks” and “Flowers”, all this undoubtedly gave enormous experience to the aspiring musician.

And before this happened, the guys shot their first video clip, which was broadcast on “The Don King Show.” So oh Russian group recognized overseas and invited to perform concerts.

The guys thought their adventures in America would last a maximum of 3 months, but they lived there for five long years. Then they returned back and discovered that their songs were popular here.

The main vocalist of Gorky Park was Nikolai Noskov, but having arrived in Russia, he decides to leave the band and pursue a solo career. His place is taken by Alexander Minkov. The group works with this composition until the beginning of the 2000s, and then the project is closed.

Alexander, just like Nikolai Noskov once did, sees no further prospects for himself and is increasingly thinking about a solo career.

Today she lives in the USA. For the third time he married Natalya, and the couple had a son, Artem.

The family existed for 13 years. During this time, everything happened in their lives. The relationship was on the verge of breaking more than once. There was talk that Alexander was having an affair with Nadya Ruchka, the lead singer of the group “Brilliant”.

However, Alexander Marshal himself neither confirms nor denies this. His wife, in this situation, behaved prudently, without making a scene for her husband, believing that the lightning-fast infatuation would pass and he would return to the family again. This happened, but after some time Natasha and Alexander divorced.

Today he is in a new relationship. The chosen one is much younger than him. She became Karina Nugaeva, production editor of the Chanson radio station. Marshall met the journalist a year ago.
