The boy's first rhymed lines appeared in the 3rd grade. And at the age of 14, Shaganov wrote a poem, the authorship of which he was ashamed to admit. Therefore, I read it to my friends, calling it a new song, which was at the peak of the popularity of "Time Machine". With the second poem - the same story, but now it was the "song" of the "Resurrection" group, heard on the radio.

The desire to rhyme grew stronger, but Alexander Shaganov dreamed of becoming not just a poet, but a songwriter. Having decided on his dream, the young man enrolled in 5 Moscow libraries: in order to write good poetry, one must be an erudite. In high school, Shaganov met, according to him, with the same young "graphomaniac". The guys met at the Mayakovsky Museum, where they read their creations to each other.

However, after graduating from school, Sasha, who soberly assessed his capabilities, went not to enter a "bohemian" literary institute, but to an electrical engineering university, where he studied to be a telecommunications engineer. Later Shaganov admitted that the 1st year had studied conscientiously, but by the 3rd he had dropped to Cs. The youthful hobby did not disappear, the dream remained. But Alexander did not quit his studies and in 1987 he became a certified engineer.

The countdown of the poet's creative biography begins with the song "Vladimirskaya Rus", which was performed by the group "Black Coffee" in 1986. The poems belonged to Shaganov, and the music for the composition was composed by Dmitry Varshavsky. The song was liked by fans of hard rock. The debut creation was performed a year and a half before Shaganov graduated from the institute, but he wrote the poem at the age of 17. According to the poet, the first success inspired and helped to believe in strength.

After working as an engineer at Mostelefonstroy after graduation, the young author received a second gift from life - his song "Late Metro Train" sounded on the radio. Happiness was not overshadowed even by the fact that the announcer called Alexander Mikhail. Shaganov worked by profession for 8 months instead of the prescribed 3 years. Having received the calculation in "Mostelefonstroy", he plunged headlong into creativity.

When the song "Vladimirskaya Rus" became a hit and was at the top of the charts, and those who wanted to order poetry lined up to the author who had become popular, Alexander realized that it was better not to dissipate forces, but to concentrate on one project. And you need to create it from scratch.

This is how cooperation with at that time little-known group "Lube" and a student of the conservatory Dima Malikov began. And the Shaganov-Matvienko tandem presented a new hit called "Girl-girl" to Belousov, who has soared to the top of fame with a hit about a blue-eyed girl.

The prima donna of the Russian stage replenished the repertoire with the song "Christian", and Sergei Chelobanov, with whom at that time Pugacheva had an affair, sang a song about a young girl and groom on Shaganov's verses. Then there was an incident that almost ended in a scandal. The poems came to Chelobanov and Sergei Chumakov. But the music for them was written by different composers. Therefore, there are two options for one composition.

At a meeting with Pugacheva, where verses for the song "Christian" were discussed, the singer learned about Rastorguev. The author gave a couple of songs by the group to listen to. Then Alla Borisovna suggested dressing the soloist in a military tunic and invited "Lyube" to her "Christmas meetings".

The poet-songwriter created the shlyagers for Rastorguev in tandem with Igor Matvienko. The songs "Atas!", "Old Man Makhno", "Combat", "There Beyond the Mists" and "Horse" sang along with the whole country, and the concerts were held with invariable sold out. Shaganov wrote hundreds of compositions for the collective.

Some hits of "Ivanushki" ("Clouds", "Doll") are also authorship of Shaganov. The song Poor Doves, which was included in the repertoire of Evgeny Kulikov, the leader of the Kulikovo Pole group, also became a hit.

In the early 1990s, the author tried his hand as a singer. According to Shaganov, on stage he is less comfortable than at a table with a piece of paper or in a recording studio. Nevertheless, Alexander has four solo albums. He also published two collections of poetry. In 2007, fans of the star author received a surprise - an autobiographical book "I am Shaganov in Moscow".

In his youth, Alexander Shaganov was in no hurry to tie himself by marriage. The life of a star, concerts, tours, friendly gatherings until the morning and - as an obligatory attribute - alcohol did not correspond much to the concept of "family". Shaganov was left without a mother early, and his father never lived to see the release of his debut album. But the relationship of the parents stood before our eyes as a model.

The personal life of the author and the musician took shape when he turned 36. He met his future wife Katya at the age of 27, the girl wasn’t even 16. She accompanied a friend who came to meet the star after a concert at Olimpiyskiy. Shaganov drew attention to Katya, who was not trying to please, besides, a young poet.

After 9 years of courtship, the couple went to the registry office, choosing Valentine's Day for this. Soon, the wife gave birth to Shaganov's daughter Elizabeth, in whom he does not like a soul. Photos of a happy family are found on the Web.

The poet loves to relax with his family. Alexander Shaganov is also a longtime fan of the Torpedo football team and a member of the Starco star team.

In 2018, the songbook was visited by the program "When Everybody Is Home". Viewers saw the star author's family nest, heard about childhood and adolescence. Alexander pulled the veil of secrecy from those pages of his biography that fans of Shaganov's work had never heard of before.

In 2019, the young vocalist Alexander Li delighted music lovers with a touching performance of the song "Bell Ringer", lyrics to which were written by Alexander Shaganov.
