Also associated with his name are the television shows "Star Factory" and "Become a Star". Now Shulgin runs the family of companies "Familia", which operates in the media and entertainment industry.

Alexander was born in Irkutsk and while still in elementary school showed himself as a creative person. From an early age he began to write poetry, and at the age of 12 he became interested in music. At first it was connected with collecting popular audio recordings, but soon Sasha was already playing the guitar in the school ensemble.

After school, Shulgin entered the Irkutsk State Linguistic University, then transferred to the Irkutsk Technical University, from there to the Baikal State University of Economics and Law. But he could not study normally anywhere, since the young man did not part with music, and at the age of 19 he began working as a member of the Soviet rock group Cruise.

Working with this group led Alexander to Germany, where he understood modern trends in sound recording and became imbued with the show business system. Returning home, Shulgin began producing activities, and also opened a number of his own firms. In 1998 he founded the Surname company. Today this structure includes a music publishing company, a consulting company, a number of social networks and many other affiliates.

The first recordings of Alexander Shulgin coincided with the birth of the debut album of the "Cruise" group. In Germany, their most powerful CD "Kruiz" was recorded, and many live concerts took place, in which Alexander also took part.

Upon his return to Russia, the musician begins to realize himself as a composer. More than 50 of his songs became hits and charts. During the 90s, Shulgin collaborated as a songwriter with such stars as the singer Valeria and the Dream group, and also produced the Jazz album of the Alisa rock group, promoted the first discs Mumiy Troll and Ivanushek International ". Dmitry Malikov, Oleg Gazmanov, Irina Allegrova, Alexander Malinin, Irina Saltykova, Kristina Orbakaite and many other popular artists worked with him.

By the way, Zemfira's first album was released at the Utekay Zvukozapis studio, owned by Alexander Shulgin and Ilya Lagutenko. The producer also publishes concerts by Mikhail Zadornov and restores the archives of Yuri Vizbor at his own expense. In the new century, Shulgin managed to create the musical "I", to open the world to the extraordinary saxophonist Elena Sheremet, whose CDs were sold in millions of copies, especially in North America.

In 2005 Alexander writes a conceptual album "Presentation", all songs and instrumental compositions of which are dedicated to the struggle between good and evil. He then released the Triptych CD, a triple album of purely instrumental music composed as a cocktail of jazz and relaxation sounds. Shulgin's last studio work at the moment is a double CD "Fairy Tale". The first part of this work is played on the harp and cello, and the second on the piano.

In 2011, the composer presented his hometown with the anthem "Siberia, Baikal, Irkutsk", which became a gift for the 350th anniversary of Irkutsk. The recording was performed in various interpretations - from purely orchestral to choral.

In 2002, Alexander Shulgin was invited to the first reality show to support young performers "Become a Star". The result was the Other Rules group, which included the five finalists of this show. But, starting to work with this team, Shulgin switched to a new, more promising television project - "Star Factory".

For the members of the "Factory" Alexander writes more than 40 songs, creates dozens of stage images and helps many novice performers to define their own style. Under the leadership of Shulgin, Yulia Mikhalchik, Nikita Malinin and Alexander Kireev received all-Russian fame.

Alexander Shulgin met his first wife, singer Valeria, in a nightclub, where she performed solo. At first, the producer offered his professional services, but then their relationship grew into a romantic one. And this despite the fact that Valeria was then married to the musician Leonid Yaroshevsky.

Nevertheless, soon young people officially enter into marriage, and in 1993 their first-born daughter Anna was born. Later, the sons Arseny and Artem appear in the family. Although during her last pregnancy, Valeria had already filed for divorce, Shulgin managed to persuade her to stay for the sake of the baby.

But in the end, the singer and the producer still part, and with a huge scandal. The fact is that the ex-wife of Alexander began to tell reporters about all their quarrels, which dealt a serious blow to the reputation of her ex-husband. Alexander Shulgin did not try to keep in touch with the children and did not pay child support. The children reciprocated with their father. According to Valeria, when her daughter Anya found out that her father allegedly wanted to visit her, the girl fled to another room in tears.

Subsequently, Anna told reporters that she does not consider the biological dad to be her own father and does not have any kindred feelings towards Shulgin.

After Valeria, Alexander Shulgin for some time lived in a civil marriage with the singer Yulia Mikhalchik, whom he met at the "Star Factory". However, the composer broke up with his young bride and since then prefers to enjoy the life of a bachelor.

In recent years, Alexander Shulgin became interested in religious issues and in 2011 he entered the Faculty of Theology at the Orthodox St. Tikhon University for the Humanities. Subsequently, the composer also began writing music for the first public Orthodox TV channel "SPAS".

This did not prevent Alexander Shulgin from getting involved in technology and organizing the work of a venture capital firm. The composer even became a member of the expert council under the government of the Russian Federation. Shulgin's multifaceted nature is exemplarily portrayed by the producer's Instagram, where photographs in churches are interspersed with shots from the sites of technological and educational festivals.

In 2016, Alexander Shulgin became a co-producer of the short film ShahMat. Ornella Muti played the main role in the film. Shulgin also wrote music for this picture.

Today Alexander Shulgin is also known as an investor in new high-tech projects. The composer was one of the first in Russia to invest in blockchain, and also joined Elon Musk's project.

In 2016, the composer held a free lecture in Irkutsk entitled "Transformation of the Global Economy and Lifestyle 2020-2030", which he devoted to changes in society, new technological trends and the question of what professions and what kind of education will be in demand in the future.

In 2017, Shulgin spoke at the Innoprom platform “Finance for Industry 4.0”, where he presented his vision of the country's future. According to the producer, robotization will save Russia, but at the same time there will be a risk that production will be aimed at competing with foreign firms, instead of creating its own original products. Also, the investor gave a lecture about new professions that will appear and develop in 20-30 years.

In 2017, in the "Live" program, Valeria's first husband Leonid Yaroshevsky said that the singer and producer did not expect an official divorce at all, and Valeria was cheating on her then husband with Alexander Shulgin. On the same topic - about the betrayal of the singer and about Valeria's second marriage - Yaroshevsky published a book called "Valeria:" a steam locomotive "from Atkarsk". The scandalous announcement has spawned a number of talk shows.
