Alexander Sklyar was born in Moscow on March 7, 1958. He was brought up in a family of intellectuals: his father Felix Sidorovich is a scientist-physicist, his mother Irina Viktorovna is a journalist. He was the only child in the family. He studied at the school named after L.I. Milgram. In his youth, he was fond of sports - he played football, volleyball, went in for karate, received the first category in swimming. He devoted a lot of time to alpine skiing, but after being injured in training and lying with a broken leg for two months, he decided to leave the sport.

The boy showed his love for music at the age of 7, so his parents decided to help develop their son's talent and sent him to a music school.

He graduated from high school with honors, so he decided to enter MGIMO for international economic relations. He easily passed the passing mark, and in 1979 graduated from the institute and went to the DPRK as a diplomat. For five whole years, the future rock musician worked as a diplomat, first as an assistant secretary, and then as an attaché in the city of Chondin.

He devoted all his free time to music, during his student years he played the guitar, soon began to write poetry and compose music for them.

Therefore, organizing rock concerts, including for the "Center" group, Alexander himself dreamed of singing on stage and bathing in the audience's applause.

On March 4, 1986 Sklyar assembled the first line-up of his own group, which he gave the name "Va-Bank". The classic line-up of the group was formed in the summer of 1986: Alexander Sklyar, Alexei Nikitin, Igor "Egor" Nikonov, Robert "Ded" Rednikin, Alexander Malikov and Uncle Vova Rodzianko.
