Alexander Minkov

Alexander Marshal is a Russian rock musician, singer, frontman of the popular musical group Gorky Park, currently a solo performer.

He has repeatedly won the Chanson of the Year, Golden Gramophone, Song of the Year and other prestigious awards.

Alexander Vitalievich Minkov is the real name of the musician Alexander Marshal, who was born in July 1957 in the southern town of Korenovsk, Krasnodar Territory. His family had nothing to do with music and art. Dad is a military pilot-instructor, mom is a dentist.

At the age of 7, the future singer began to attend 2 schools at once: general education and music. In the latter, he learned to play the piano. The future musician studied this already in Tikhoretsk, where the Minkov family moved. Sasha turned out to have an ear for music, and he himself learned to play the guitar.

The creative biography of Alexander Marshal started from playing on the dance floor when he was a sixth grader. At the school of the town of Salsk, where his father was seconded, at the age of 15, the guy created a vocal and instrumental ensemble, calling it "Stepnyaki". The musicians played successfully in the local club and park at dances, they were often invited to weddings.

The guy in his youth had 2 dreams at once, between which he was torn. Alexander Minkov dreamed of becoming, like his dad, a pilot. But at the same time, he was drawn to music with irresistible force. Who more - a pilot or a singer - he wanted to be, Sasha himself did not really know. A stately (Alexander's height is 193 cm with a weight of 93 kg), a strong and handsome young man perfectly suited both for flights and for stage.

In 1974, Alexander Minkov became a student at the Stavropol Higher Military Aviation School. The specialization he chose was called "combat control navigator."

As for the origin of the nickname Marshal, Sasha received it in his youth, as a student at the school. He has one more thing - Minor. This is how Minkov was called by friends-musicians in the 70s.

The first thing after admission, the future pilot began to create a musical group. He did everything in time: he served in the army at the same time and played in a team. But after 2 years, Alexander realized: he was still more attracted to music, it would not work further to be torn into two halves.

Parting with the army was difficult. The conversation with my father and the command of the aviation school was no less difficult. It didn't work out right away, I had to serve as a soldier for a year.

After the end of the service, Alexander Marshal took up his favorite music. But he also had to live on something, because his father refused to help his son after leaving school. The guy took on any job. He worked as a mechanic, rescue sailor, musician in a restaurant.

Alexander Marshal arrived to conquer Moscow in the early 80s. I stumbled upon an announcement that a bass player is required for a musical group. The guy took a chance and was taken. He was very lucky, because the team turned out to be the best metropolitan group that performed popular Western music. Here Alexander felt really happy, because he dreamed about it for many years.

Soon Marshal began cooperation with Mosconcert. The groups "Araks" and "Flowers" by Stas Namin immediately appeared.

The idea to create a musical group that will conquer the West came from Marshal's colleague, Alexander Belov. It was perceived ambiguously: the Marshal did not believe in the feasibility of such grandiose plans. But a group for "conquering the West" was created. It was named "Gorky Park". In 1987, Alexander, together with the musicians of the created group, went on their first tour to America.

In the fall, the debut concert of Gorky Park took place. Especially for the promotion and advertising of the Russian project, the musicians shot the first video, which was shown in The Don King Show.

At first, the Russian group planned that the tour would last no more than 3 months. As a result, Gorky Park and Alexander Marshal lived in the United States for 5 years. Upon returning to Russia, it was already a famous group, for whose concerts the stadiums of fans gathered.

Already in Russia, the main vocalist Nikolai Noskov leaves the group. Alexander Marshal was destined to take his place. Minkov worked at Gorky Park for 12 years, until the end of 1999. The singer himself motivated the departure from the collective by the fact that the group had exhausted itself. In fact, Alexander Marshal has already fully grown to a solo career.

The first solo album by Alexander Marshal is called “Maybe”. Fans of creativity were able to purchase it in 1998. The main hits of the collection were the songs "Eagle", "Downpour", "Wait, wait", "Fly away again" and "At the crossroads".

But the performer gave his first solo concert in 1999. True, it took place not in the capital, but in Krasnodar. Fans of Marshal's talent gathered in huge numbers, there was nowhere to stand in the hall. The fans gave the singer an unusually warm welcome.

Alexander Marshall's second album entitled "Where I Have Not Been" was released in the early 2000s. The presentation of the album took place at the airport in the Moscow region. The venue of the concert was dictated to Alexander by his nostalgia for the sky and his unfulfilled dream of becoming a navigator. The best songs in the collection were "Sky", "Letting go" and "Old yard".

The next album "Highlander" was composed of songs that were performed during the war, in hospitals and prisons. "Highlander" radically differed from previous collections in content and concept. I must say that Marshal devoted many of his compositions to the military theme. The military theme sounds in the albums "Dad", "The Cranes Are Flying", "Father Arseny", "Goodbye, Regiment" and others. Two more discs soon followed - "Special" and "White Ash", which were warmly received by music critics.

In 2002, Alexander Marshal, together with a young singer Ariana, recorded a modern cover of the tragic romance "I will never forget you" from the famous rock opera "Juno and Avos". For this composition in 2003, the man received the Golden Gramophone award.

In 2008, the Gorky Park group was revived. The musicians performed together at the Avtoradio festival. This was followed by performances at the opening of the Eurovision Song Contest, in the Evening Urgant program on Channel One and at the Nashestvie festival.

In 2012, Alexander Marshal presented the album "Turn around". More than half of his songs were written by the performer himself. In the same year, as part of the group, Marshal gave an anniversary concert at the Crocus City Hall, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the group.

In 2014, fans of the musician's creativity saw a video clip for the song "Vicious by You", performed in a duet with Natasha Koroleva.

In 2015, Alexander Marshal, being the son of an officer, acted as a TV presenter in the series of military programs "Army Legends" on the "Zvezda" channel. From a young age, he dreamed of a military career, which he could not realize, so he was enthusiastic about the offer to participate in this project.

In 2016, the single "Shadow", recorded together with the group "Living Water", and the song "Leti", recorded together with Lilia Meskhi, appeared. In the same year, a video was released for the song "I will remember" together with T-killah. In the same year, the artist became a laureate of the Chanson radio "Chanson of the Year" award for the composition "The Former Posesaul", which he performed with Denis Maidanov, Oleg Gazmanov, Sergei Trofimov.

In January 2017, the musician performed at the Vysotsky Foundation's annual award ceremony. On June 7, Alexander Marshal gave a recital in the Kremlin. The premiere of the song "We'll Be Back Home" and the duet "Disconnect", performed by Emin, soon followed.

Together with colleagues in the music workshop Denis Maidanov and Soso Pavliashvili, the artist performed the musical composition "Cars" on the air of the entertainment show "Saturday Evening".

The personal life of Alexander Marshal is one of his most disliked topics in interviews. The popular performer prefers not to talk about her. Little is known for certain about Alexander Minkov - he has a wife, Natalya Minkova, and a son, Artem. Natalya Vasilievna became the third wife of the Marshal.

The first marriage, according to Alexander himself, broke up due to the fact that his wife was too actively involved in all the affairs of the singer. The second marriage was more successful, in it Marshal had a daughter, Pauline, who, after the divorce, remained with her mother in the United States. And only the third wedding turned into a long and serious marriage.

The mid-2000s became the most difficult in the life of the spouses. Marshal had a short affair with Nadya Ruchka, the lead singer of the "Brilliant" group. Often the couple appeared in public, although they did not comment on the relationship. Wife Natalya tried not to notice the novel, hoping that it would end.

Soon it happened as she had foreseen: after a couple of years, Marshal's romance with Nadya Ruchka dried up. The personal life of Alexander Marshal returned to its former orbit: he preferred life in a family.

In 2015, rumors about the singer's romance on the side appeared in the press. This time, the artist's choice was a model named Julia, originally from St. Petersburg. Then Marshal did not give any comments about the relationship with the young girl. And in 2018, on the air of the "When all are at home" program, I decided to present a new muse - 24-year-old Karina Nugaeva. The girl works as a production editor at radio "Chanson", where she met the performer. The couple has been dating since mid-2017.

The relationship has gone far, since Alexander lives in the same house with his beloved and son from his third marriage, Artem. The young man followed in the footsteps of his parent and is pursuing a musical career. Only unlike his father, Artem Minkov is a rapper.

Alexander tries to keep fit. In 2018, the artist underwent a planned spinal surgery to install an implant at the site of a vertebra damaged by a hernia.

According to medical indications, the artist began to do daily gymnastics. His favorite exercise is the stance, which he does every day for 5 minutes. Marshal posted photos and videos of the exercise on his personal profile on Instagram. After being discharged from the hospital, the performer went with his new lover to the Italian resort of Forte dei Marmi.

In 2018, Marshal released a new duet composition with Mali "Live for the Alive". Also, together with Denis Maidanov and Alexander F. Sklyar, he sang the hit "Sail, or Song of Trouble" at the Moscow City Day.

Now the artist is preparing for new concerts. At the beginning of 2019, Marshal is scheduled to perform with the program "60 - normal flight" in Kaluga, Bryansk, Orel and other cities of Russia.
