Alexander Makhonin

Compositions of Mr. Creed were rarely heard in the airplay, and he himself was very skeptical about television. The artist did not like the press, and appeared on stage exclusively in black glasses and a white oriental dress.

For an extremely long time he managed to hide his real name and eye color, enveloping his person with an aura of mystery. But today the singer is known and loved by many.

Makhonin Alexander (stage name Mr. Credo) was born on November 22, 1971 in Ukraine, but as a child he moved with his family to the Urals (Yekaterinburg).

Despite the fact that the guy from a young age was passionate about music (Alexander was the leader of the Aspect group from 1988 to 1990), his parents tried to make a military man out of his negligent son. In 1992, the young man officially became a cadet of the Perm Higher Military Command and Engineering Red Banner School of Strategic Rocket Forces named after Marshal of the Soviet Union V.I. Chuikov.

The singer's creative biography begins in 1993, when he, together with Sergei Moroz, creates the "Credo" group. The collective finds its audience in the blink of an eye and from 1993 to 1994 performs at all kinds of events and concert venues.

The name of the group has absolutely nothing to do with the Latin meaning of this word. Everything is much more prosaic: Sasha's beloved girlfriend adored the Credo perfume of the Latvian brand Dzintars and often called the guy “my Mr. Credo”. Makhonin got used to the sonorous pseudonym and transferred it from everyday life to the stage, and his girlfriend became the singer's wife.

Big money was not invested in the promotion of Mr. Creed. The young man had no start-up capital, no producers, no sponsors, but he had good friends who helped to realize his lifelong dream.

The first album in the discography of the "Credo" group called "Harmony" was recorded in 1995. In the same year, the musicians took part in the filming of the pilot release of Tabakov Jr.'s musical program “Pilot”. They also took first place in the "10 points" competition and, in addition to the victory, received the "Audience Choice Award". A couple of days after the competition, the enthusiastic team shoots two videos at once for the songs "Girl Dancing" and "Girl-Night".

The breakup of the "Credo" group took place in 1996. After that, Alexander changed the concept of the image and moved from dance lyrics to an eclectic genre of music - a modern techno-rave with elements of ethno and the East. In 1996, the singles "HSH-Bola" and "Let's Lave!" Were released.

In the same year, Makhonin took part in the electoral round "Vote or Lose!" Boris Yeltsin. According to Alexander, the main incentive for performing at the concerts of the action was the financial issue. The political component of the tour worried him less in those years. The project brought together popular musicians of that time - the groups "Bravo", "Alice", "Dune", "Chaif", singers Leonid Agutin, Andrei Makarevich, Alexander Buinov, etc. In the same year, Mr. Credo as an invited guest performs at the concert "Bad Boys Blue" in the concert hall "Cosmos". Tours in the Far East and neighboring countries began in 1997.

During the recording of the scandalous album "Fantasy" (1997), the jazz singer Olesya Slukina appears in the project (her voice is used for the female parts of two of Mr. Credo's albums - "Fantasy" and "Wonderful Valley"). A native of Yekaterinburg, she graduated from the Music College named after I. Pyotr Tchaikovsky, got into the troupe of the Variety Theater. Olesya has repeatedly become a laureate of all-Russian and international music competitions in the pop vocal category. Together with Mister Credo and Olesya Slukina in those years, a small group of the musician performed at concerts - the dance couple Slava and Nadya.

The popularity of the "Fantasy" album was evidenced by the large-scale sales of official discs, the number of which reached 3 million copies. Neither Agatha Christie, nor Philip Kirkorov achieved such economic success in those years, according to Mr. Creed.

In 1997 such hits as "Mama Asia", "Lambada", "Sirota", "Technomafia", "Sneg" were also published. A year later, clips were shot for the songs "Mama Asia" and "Cosa Nostra" in the United Arab Emirates. Alexander Makhonin explains his interest in oriental themes by the fact that he, like an akyn, sings about what he sees. And in the 90s, representatives of the Caucasian and Central Asian nationalities began to massively move to Yekaterinburg from the former republics of the Soviet Union, with whom Alexander often met in an informal setting. In addition, Mister Credo has always been close to the music of Boka Bakinsky, who opened the Caucasian chanson to the listener.

Recording and release of the album "Golden Time" takes place in 1998. At the same time the national hit “Balloon” was “born”. In 1999, work began on the "Wonderful Valley" disc, and in 2002 it was released.

In 2004, the singer moved to Moscow and recorded the album "Nouveau riche". In 2005, Rano Kubaeva's feature film "Wonderful Valley" was released, the title track of which was the song of the same name by Mister Credo. The soundtrack for the film also uses fragments of the singles "Mama Asia" and "Crying Asia".

In 2005, the song "Medlyak" was included in the rotation of "Russian Radio" and stayed in the "Golden Gramophone" charts for 27 weeks. On November 25, 2006, Mister Credo is awarded for the song "White Dance", and the artist participates in the gala concert of the "Golden Gramophone" in the Kremlin, Almaty and St. Petersburg.

The foundation of the "Mister Credo" Producer Center and the record of the "SANABIS records" label took place in 2006.

The following year, the songs "KLEN", "Mimosa" were recorded and their premiere on Russian Radio, and in 2008 the album "Chocolate" was released. The musical compositions of the new disc met the demands of format music and began to enjoy success at the radio station, but in the musician's homeland and in Tatarstan, the public received them worse than the artist's first works.

In subsequent years, Alexander delighted fans of his work with the tracks "Blue Eyes", "Blue Pit" and "City of Grozny". Together with a performer named Sher-Khan, Mister Creed recorded the compositions "War", "My Angel", "Friends" and others. In 2015, the singer, who is not indifferent to the situation on the Maidan, creates the track "After Maidan" in support of the Donbass militia.

The artist deliberately did not advertise his work and self-promotion, so there were always a lot of rumors around his personality. Alexander was credited with an untimely death, later it was claimed that instead of Makhonin, another person appeared on the stage. But all these speculations turned out to be unreliable. The first time after moving to Moscow, the metropolitan public knew practically nothing about Mister Creed. Two years later, the media began to show interest in the artist. Alexander Makhonin became a guest of the programs of the First Channel, the TV channel "Russia", appeared in the studio "Comedy Club".

Very little is known about the artist's personal life, as well as about his person. The press never wrote about the novels of the eminent singer, and he himself avoids this topic in an interview, but judging by the information missing in the media, the performer has never had an affair with show business stars.

Только однажды Мистеру Кредо задали вопрос, касающейся его жизни вне сцены. В 2012 году на ток-шоу «Личное мнение» с Евгенией Скорзниковой импозантный мужчина не смог проигнорировать вопрос ведущей и слегка приоткрыл завесу тайны.

Александр подтвердил информацию о том, что у него есть сын Арсений. Мальчик родился в 1995 году. В то время артисту приходилось жить в одной квартире с родителями, женой Натальей и новорожденным.

Сына музыканта природа щедро наградила не только внешними, но и вокальными данными. В связи с чем любящий отец уже записал для юного дарования трек и в будущем планирует продвигать чадо за рубежом как европейский проект. Выбор пал на Европу по причине того, что сам Махонин обожает Германию, Чехию и Амстердам.

Now Mr. Creed with his hits "for all time" continues to tour the country and perform at all kinds of corporate parties.

Also, the performer periodically uploads new songs to the Web. So, in May 2017, a track titled "Vasya Brilliant" was published in the official group on VKontakte. The composition is dedicated to the legend of the criminal world - Vasily Babushkin. The artist duplicates information and photos from VKontakte on his official Instagram account.

Fans hope that after the break, Alexander will gather his strength and release a new album, which will be remembered by everyone for a long time. But in 2018, the artist has so far made only a new arrangement of the song "Chuyskaya Dolina".
