Alexander Uman

Shura Bi-2 is a popular musician, who became famous for his concert performances as part of the Bi-2 group. Together with his friend Lyova, the performer reached the musical Olympus, became a legend of Russian rock in the 2000s and an idol of youth.

The real name of the artist is Alexander Uman. He is Belarusian by nationality. The boy was born on February 3, 1970 in Bobruisk. Parents had nothing to do with art, so the son's hobby for theater and musical notation was a revelation for them.

As a schoolboy, Shura attended sports sections and wrote poetry. When he was 15, the family moved to Minsk. The capital turned out to have more prospects for development, and here Sasha began to attend the Rond theater studio.

In the drama section, he made an acquaintance with the future soloist of the "Bi-2" collective Leva. At that time, relatives and friends knew him as Yegor Bortnik.

Despite the fact that the attention of the fair sex is often riveted to the frontmen of rock bands, Shura did not miss his happiness. The musician's personal life was not without a long search for the second half. Victoria Bilogan became the artist's 1st wife. It was not possible to build a full-fledged family. The performer divorced his wife.

After an unsuccessful relationship, he met with Olga Strakhovskaya and Ekaterina Dobryakova, but he could not find himself with them either. On vacation in Italy, the artist met Elizaveta Reshetnyak, and this meeting turned out to be fateful. Having made an offer to the girl, the performer found in Lisa a faithful wife and mother of two children. The couple are raising a daughter, Eve, and a son, Oliver.

For several decades, the musician has remained faithful to his usual image. He wears a long haircut, sometimes he has a beard. The attitude towards tattoos remains unchanged. Even in his youth, Shura stuffed an image of an unfastening zipper on his right hand. With age, the artist did not correct the image and does not add anything to it.

The guitarist is 170 cm tall, and his weight remains unknown. By the sign of the zodiac, the artist is Aquarius.

The activities of the theatrical studio were not to the taste of the Minsk party bureau, and the Rond circle was quickly closed. The teenagers who studied there were forced to look for a new field for realization. Some of them wrote music and lyrics. Having created their own group, the guys named it “Brothers in Arms”, but later changed the name to “The Coast of Truth”. Having reduced it, we got the famous "Bi-2". The team began to rehearse and participated in competitions, where it even turned out to be a winner.

Uncle Alexander Mikhail Karasev, a former member of the popular music project “Sunny Side” in Belarus, turned out to be the guys' unspoken mentor. The composition of the collective, formed by the former actors of the drama club, changed frequently. But Shura and Lyova remained faithful to the chosen case. The performers traveled all over the country with concerts and performances. The creation of the composition "Varvara" belongs to this period.

The collapse of the USSR unsettled not only artists, but also representatives of more prosaic professions. In 1991, Alexander decided to look for happiness abroad and left for Israel. It was not easy to find a new place. The young man changed about 15 professions, worked as a security guard and painter. Soon Leva moved to him. The men settled, began to earn money and even allowed themselves to buy cars.

In parallel, the performers continued to engage in creativity. In 1993, Shura moved to Australia, where he had relatives. The group ceased to exist for 5 years. But the artist tried to organize solo performances at the stages of Melbourne as part of the Shura B-2 Band project.

Soon Alexander became a musician of the Chiron band. Since 1997, for some time he was the author of reportage articles about concerts for the Fuzz publication, but remained in the specialized field. Following his friend, Leva moved to Australia. Friends resurrected the project and in 1998 presented the album “Sexless and Sad Love”. After him was recorded the disc "And the ship sails." The release did not take place, but the selected songs hit the air of Russian radio stations.

A new stage in the artist's creative biography started in 1999. Together with the lead singer of "Bi-2" the guitarist returned to Russia and began to give concerts. In 2000, the premiere of the film "Brother-2" took place, which brought the musicians wide fame. The soundtrack "Nobody Writes to the Colonel" has become a cult soundtrack.

Shura and Leva turned out to be a productive and close-knit duo. Almost every year, the collective released new records, appeared on the stage of major festivals. The rockers collaborated with Alexander Vasiliev, Vadim Samoilov, Renars Kaupers and Yulia Chicherina.

In 2017, the group underwent an update. After missing for a while, the performers returned with a studio album "Event Horizon", funding for which was organized through crowdfunding. The artists even allowed themselves to hold a free author's open-air called "Bi-2 Fest" in their native Bobruisk.

The audience is used to the fact that in duets all the laurels go to the soloist. Bi-2 is a special case, as Shura has the opportunity to compete on an equal footing with Lyova. Each concert program includes several songs performed by him.

The legendary hit "My Rock and Roll", for which the video was filmed, was recorded by the artist in collaboration with Yulia Chicherina. Later, the artist sang the composition in a duet with Zemfira, as well as with Diana Arbenina. The stars have become close friends and interact frequently. Tamara Gverdtsiteli honored Alexander by singing "Snow is Falling" with him. At concerts, the musician's guitar solo is assigned a separate number. In addition, he always performs with a couple of compositions as a vocalist.

Fans follow the development of Shura's personal and professional life thanks to his Instagram account, where new photos regularly appear. Alexander continues to fulfill a dream that originated in childhood. He writes poetry and music, is realized as a solo artist.

He now lives with his family in Australia on a permanent basis and has the appropriate citizenship. As part of "Bi-2" he regularly gives concerts in Russia and does not refuse interviews to journalists. Together with Lyova, he regularly becomes a guest of television programs, including "Evening Urgant".

In 2020, the premiere of the track "Three Minutes", recorded by Shura in collaboration with the performer GilZa, took place. Also there was a presentation of the new album "Bi-2" "Inferno".
