Aleksandr Kogan

Alexander Kogan is a singer and composer from Dushanbe. In 2013 and 2014 he won the Golden Gramophone award. The artist has a unique talent: in addition to music, he is popular in cinema and managed to become famous on the stage.

Alexander Kogan is from Tajikistan, the city of Dushanbe. Born in 1980, April 15, zodiac sign - Aries. The family moved to Moscow when the boy was six years old. However, four years later, he had to move from the capital to the United States, where Alexander's father, Valery Kogan, worked at the UN headquarters in New York.

The future artist continued his education in California, where he studied for three years (since 1995) at the Woodside Priory local college. In 1998, Kogan attended George Mason University in Fairfax County, Virginia, and received his degree in political science. Since childhood, Alexander has been playing musical instruments (guitar and piano).

It is known that from the age of seven, Alexander Kogan knew the basics of playing the piano. In an interview for the Internet portal Ok-magazine.ru, he said that he grew up in a creative family where art was an integral part of life. The elder sister, a student of the conservatory, often studied and rehearsed at home, and little Sasha watched with interest and tried to play the piano.

For some time, a tutor studied music with him. However, Alexander admitted, the process turned out to be too laborious. The teachers insisted that the boy had no abilities. According to Kogan, from childhood he saw any melody in his own way and tried to remake it.

At the age of 14, the teenager already had sketches of author's musical works. At the age of 18, Kogan became the founder of a musical group, without which not a single student event could do without. By the way, Alexander toured a lot in American cities. Popular English-language compositions: "Baby You're An Astronaut", "Leaving Tomorrow Behind", "I Will".

Alexander Valerievich decided to connect life with creativity, while still a student and studying political science. The future artist received a diploma, but did not work in his specialty. In 2001, Kogan returned to the capital and told his parents that he was taking up a musical career closely. The family did not support Alexander's idea at first.

The creative path of Alexander Kogan began with a collaboration with Alla Borisovna Pugacheva. Having learned about his desire to make music professionally, the Prima Donna invited an old acquaintance to a recording studio. It was this period that became for Kogan the first step into the world of show business.

He performed songs under the pseudonym Christian Ako. Alexander did not make a big impression on the audience then. Although outwardly the artist is immediately remembered: tall and stately, he always looked harmoniously on stage and on the screen (height 178 cm, weight 86 kg).

Alexander wanted to establish himself in the musical field as the author of his own compositions: from text to melody. On the advice of Alla Borisovna, the singer left for the USA again to learn the craft from professionals.

In America, since 2004, the two-time Grammy winner, composer Walter Afanasyev, took up teaching Kogan. For two and a half years, Alexander worked in his studio. Later he worked with Canadian singer David Foster. Kogan's debut solo concert took place in New York.

Since 2011, joint activities with the popular Russian composer Viktor Drobysh have brought Alexander Kogan his first serious success: with the song Who Invented the World, the singer won the Golden Gramophone Award in 2013. The artist's fame has increased dramatically, and the following compositions ("Who left whom" and "I'm waiting for the call") were no less successful.

An important stage in Kogan's career was his acquaintance with Julio Iglesias in 2012 at a private concert in New York. The conversation after the performance grew into a friendly conversation, and in 2013 Julio invited Alexander to perform at the beginning of his concerts and travel through Russian and Ukrainian cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Dnepropetrovsk). Collaboration with the Spanish celebrity continued with a world tour (Ireland, Great Britain, USA, Canada, Holland, South America).

In 2013 and 2014, Alexander performed at the annual international competition "New Wave", which was held in Jurmala, and then for two years in a row in Sochi. In 2014, Kogan became a guest star at the Kremlin Gala 21st Century Ballet Stars.

Alexander Kogan began work on the first album in 2013 together with producer Viktor Drobysh. For the single "Who left whom" the singer was awarded the second "Golden Gramophone". The debut collection "I'm Waiting for a Call" was released in 2015. After the presentation of the album, Kogan went on tour in Russia. In 2016, a video for the song "Happiness" was released.

In 2013, Alexander Kogan got a cameo role in the film The Defender (directed by Boaz Yakin), and also took part in the productions of The Whirlpool of Love and Kalina Krasnaya. The performances were held at the Russian Song Theater, directed by Nadezhda Babkina.

In 2017, the singer released a joint song with the popular artist Stas Mikhailov "May God give us".

Alexander Kogan answers questions about his personal life evasively, although it is known that the singer was not married. Years of study and hard work left him absolutely no time for personal life.

Many sources discuss with interest that Kogan was not seen in the company of women: the press was not able to take a single photo, and there is not a hint of a happy family life on social networks.

In 2018, the singer released the single "My Country, My Team", which fans first heard on the air of "Autoradio". The song is dedicated to the 2018 World Cup.

It is also known that in the same year Alexander Kogan will gladly return to the theater stage in Mikhail Staritsky's play "Chasing Two Hares".
