Aleksey Chumakov

Today Alexey Chumakov is a well-known singer, talented composer, charming TV presenter and showman.

Not so long ago, he increased his popularity by appearing in the rating shows of the central channels "One to One", "The Secret of Success" and "Factor X" (later renamed "Factor A").

Alexey Chumakov was born in March 1981 under the zodiac sign Pisces in the pearl of Uzbekistan - sultry Samarkand. The eldest son Sergey, who at that time was 12 years old, was already growing up in the family. Mom, an Armenian by nationality, Lilia Avanesovna worked in the local clinic as a phthisiatrician. His father, Georgy Chumakov, a native of the Bulgarian city of Gabrovo, had an attitude to art. He is a graphic designer by profession. When the youngest son grew up, Chumakov Sr. headed the restoration of one of the Orthodox churches in Samarkand - the Cathedral of St. Alexy of Moscow.

Parents noticed the unexpectedly manifested vocal talent when Alyosha was 5 years old. They made a decision that the boy's abilities cannot be ruined. Therefore, they took him to one of the Samarkand music schools - to the class of percussion instruments. Chumakov later learned to play the guitar on his own.

At school, thanks to his talents, Alexei turned into a star. At all events and school discos, he sang, winning the hearts of girls. In addition, the teenager showed other abilities: he organized many events and himself led them.

At the same time, the guy did not forget about his physical shape: he attended the kickboxing and basketball sections. The growth of the young man also allowed to make progress in the sports field. Over time, Alexey stretched out to 192 cm, and his weight subsequently reached 92-93 kg.

The first arrangements for the songs, which he composed and sang himself, Alexey Chumakov began to do at the age of 11. The teenager chose one of the author's works to perform at the Samarkand competition for children and youth "Morning Star". And he won.

From a young age, the boy showed a masculine character. He started earning his first money early. For this, he was not shy about any work: he sold vegetables and fruits on the market, during the holidays as an apprentice or a handyman he worked at construction sites or painted fences at dachas.

In the mid-1990s, difficult and troubling times began in his native Uzbekistan. The Chumakovs decided to leave the country in search of a safer and more peaceful place. Parents moved with their children to Tyumen. There Alexey became a student of the vocal department of the Higher College of Arts. But a year later, the guy decided to transfer to the conductor-choral department of the Tashkent Higher College of Arts, which he successfully graduated in absentia in 1998.

These years were difficult, but eventful for the young Chumakov. He blazed the trail in his creative work - composing music for songs, writing arrangements and making money for a living. To develop, he sang in restaurants and bars. Alexey Chumakov did not consider such work shameful: on the contrary, it was an excellent school, which, as he claims, every singer must go through.

The beginning of the creative biography of Alexei Chumakov can be considered a performance at the regional competition "The Voice of Europe Plus", which was held in Kemerovo. The first victory was resounding and unconditional. Alexey managed to win in three categories at once: as the best vocalist, composer and arranger.

After that, the career of the performer quickly went up. For several years in a row he was a participant and winner of the Tyumen talent competition "Step". On these "steps" Alexey Chumakov climbed up the hill, and the piggy bank of his awards was rapidly filling up. But at the same time, the young artist had an understanding that it was not time to rest on our laurels and savor the victory. He felt that there were still many steps to go to real fame and a lot to learn.

And Alexey Chumakov studied. He acquired the skills of a make-up artist, art manager and producer. And the guy also found a sponsor in the person of businessman Stanislav Nagaev and conducted his first tour. The debut concert took place in Yekaterinburg.

The long-awaited and resounding success came to Alexei Chumakov in 2003. Samarkand singer took part in the popular "People's Artist" competition. It is noteworthy that the young man was easy-going and grabbed every chance to become a successful artist. Hearing about the casting, which was held in Perm, he immediately bought a ticket and went to win. The jury members - Anton Komolov and Larisa Dolina - immediately determined with a trained eye that they were facing a young man with considerable experience and potential. Chumakov's casting was easy.

On the TV show, the young performer reached the final and took third place. The first and second went to his competitors Alexei Goman and Alexander Panayotov. Alexey Chumakov conquered the audience with his romantic song "I'm going crazy with you." The audience liked the charming performer with a velvety timbre and oriental temperament. He earned the Europa Plus Audience Award: half of the radio listeners voted for Chumakov.

In 2006, Alexei Chumakov's debut album, Dreams of Something Bigger, appeared. The disc includes 13 songs, among which the first hit "I'm going crazy with you." After 7 years, the singer's fans waited for his second album, called Here and There.

It is noteworthy that the talent of the performer was highly appreciated not only by compatriots, but also by foreign professionals. In 2011, the Samarkand singer sang along with the American star Michael Bolton. Their joint composition "Hold On I'm Coming" caused a flurry of emotions among music lovers. Bolton spoke warmly about the young colleague, calling him "badass", which means "super-duper", "freaky".

After the end of the TV show "People's Artist" Alexei Chumakov quickly became one of the most popular TV presenters in Russia. In 2005 he was offered to sign a contract to work in the "Secret of Success" project. Alexey, together with Elena Vorobei, becomes the "face" of the show. This Russian project is an analogue of the British Factor X. Soon it gets the same name.

From that moment on, the singer, musician and presenter is a regular on television. His face flashes quite often and becomes recognizable to millions of viewers. But in 2011 Alla Borisovna Pugacheva became the chairman of the jury of the competition. The presenters also changed. Chumakov was replaced by Philip Kirkorov, who was assisted by Vladimir Zelensky. The project in honor of the Variety Prima Donna was renamed into "Factor A".

In the second season of Factor A, Alexey Chumakov returned to the project, but refused to renew the contract.

2013 turned out to be rich in events and eventful for the ascended star of Russian show business. Alexey Chumakov appeared on the TV show "One to One". He amazed the audience with his reincarnation as Stevie Wonder, Ilya Lagutenko, Boris Moiseev, Alexander Serov and Montserrat Caballe. Chumakov managed to bypass the strongest rivals on the project.

In 2016, fans of the TV show "One to One" saw Alexei again. He appeared in the new - 4th - season of the "Battle of the Seasons" project, where he brilliantly reincarnated as domestic and foreign stars. The audience saw the artist in the form of Sergei Trofimov, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Anna German and Frank Sinatra.

In May, it became known that 35-year-old Alexey Chumakov became the project leader. But the success was somewhat spoiled by rumors that the results of the competition were rigged. Many viewers believed that the victory should have gone to Ruslan Alekhno.

The offers from the TV channels followed one after another. Together with Yulia Kovalchuk, Aleksey Chumakov became the host of the entertainment project "Who is on top?", Which was broadcast on the Ukrainian channel "Yu". At the same time, he managed to lead the "Catch before midnight" program together with Timur Rodriguez.

In 2014, Aleksey Chumakov was the host of the popular show "Open, you have guests!" On the STS TV channel. And the next year he was invited to the project of the Safronov brothers "Empire of Illusions".

A talented native of Uzbekistan, he is a multifaceted person. In 2004, he wrote the first script, according to which the familiar clip-maker Kirill Kotelnikov shot the picture "Dirt" (in the first version "Alien Sunset"). This is a zombie trash movie. Unfortunately, the picture never appeared in wide distribution.

Alexei Chumakov, having discovered in himself the gift of a writer, took up writing. In 2015, he presented to fans the first book, called "In Search of Ghosts". This is a mystical short story, the writing of which Chumakov was inspired by the great Stephen King.

In March 2016, Alexey Chumakov loudly celebrated his 35th anniversary. His recital took place at the Crocus City Hall arena.

This beautiful couple met at the time when Yulia Kovalchuk shone in the "Brilliant" group. Since then, the names of the two stars have been mentioned together. This is not to say that love came to them at first sight. She was born gradually, as she recognized each other.

Julia and Alexey began to communicate more closely in the project "Dancing on Ice". It was then that their meetings became regular: Chumakov invited the girl to his concerts, she invited him to friends' parties. Both began to build their careers, as they say, "from scratch", without patronage and strong patrons. This brought the couple closer.

The personal life of Alexei Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk finally took shape in 2009. This year the musicians declared themselves a couple. But the beloved singer did not immediately lead down the aisle. It seems that he looked closely at Julia for a long time, pondering whether they could together - both with difficult characters - exist as a family.

Finally, Alexey Chumakov decided in 2013. The couple's wedding was not loud: the young people quietly signed in the registry office, and the ceremony itself was staged far from the eyes of journalists and the crowd - in Spain. Here they have their own apartment, where the couple likes to relax.

In 2014, according to the Glamor magazine, the couple were named “Couple-2014”. And in 2015, they presented their fans with a film - the romantic comedy "I Will Get Married", where they starred.

The future wife was next to her beloved in difficult moments of his life. In 2011, the artist experienced the loss of a loved one - his mother died of cirrhosis of the liver. The whole family fought for Lilia Avanesovna's recovery for 6 long years. As Alexei Chumakov later told in the studio of Lera Kudryavtseva's "Secret to a Million" program, these years he did not sleep a single night, expecting to hear the worst.

In the summer of 2017, Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov announced that they would soon become parents. At a later date, the singer took care of her health before the first birth. The lovers left Moscow for warm lands.

In October 2017, news appeared that Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth to a daughter. Later, the parents announced the name of the newborn, who was named Amelia. According to Alexei, the girl looks like his departed mother. She has dark hair and brown eyes. And the name Julia heard in a dream, being at an early stage of pregnancy. In May 2018, the girl was baptized, as the joyful parents reported from the pages on Instagram. An old friend of the young mother, singer Yulia Nachalova, arrived at the christening.

The joyful events taking place in the artist's family life also influenced his work. Together with his wife, Alexei recorded the hit "Turn on the light in me", which became so popular among the fans of the couple that Chumakov decided to launch an Internet contest of the same name.

To participate in the competition, listeners were asked to perform the song themselves and post the recorded recording on the social network with the hashtag # turning on the light. The winner received as a prize two tickets to Alexey's recital, which will take place at the Crocus City Hall on November 17, 2018. Chumakov's subscribers on Instagram and Twitter responded to participate in the karaoke contest.

In addition to the duet composition, the artist delighted the fans with a video for the song “If I Know Why”. Also, Chumakov's first book "In Search of Ghosts", read by Sergei Burunov, was published in audio format. It is known that to date, Alexey, in addition to this short story, has written two more works - the lost novel "The Color of the Last Sunset" and the mystical thriller "47".

The main musical event of the past 2017 was the release of the artist's third studio album, which was named "The Sky in Your Eyes". It includes 13 tracks, including the compositions "Heaven knows", "Call me a stranger", "Fly away" and others.

Also in early 2018, the TV series Bars, a Russian adaptation of the American crime comedy Castle, was launched. In the film, Alexei Chumakov played the main character - a talented writer who participates in solving crimes along with employees of the police investigation department.

Now one of the last projects in which Alexei Chumakov participated as a guest was Boris Korchevnikov's program "The Fate of a Man". In the studio, the singer talked about his life, creative career and family. Recalling the touching moment of the birth of his daughter, Chumakov noted that he was always next to his wife, and the birth itself took place naturally.
