Batyrkhan Shukenov

Batyrkhan Shukenov is a singer and composer from Kazakhstan. He became famous in the 90s of the twentieth century, the founder of the "A'Studio" group.

Shukenov Batyrkhan Kamalovich was born on May 18, 1962 in the city of Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan. Batyrkhan studied at secondary school № 233 named after. Ostrovsky in his hometown. The golden time for every person is school years. It was at the Shukenov school that he began to get involved in music, which by the age of 12 became the main occupation in his life.

At first, Batyrkhan gave preference to the guitar. In 1979, the guy went to Leningrad to get musical skills, and entered the Leningrad State Institute of Culture named after I. N.K. Krupskaya. During that period, the young man mastered several musical instruments, among which was the saxophone. Shukenov lived in Leningrad for about two years. In the future, the performer recalled his studies in Leningrad more than once, calling this period of his life "a vivid process of his formation and development of musical skill."

In 1981, Shukenov entered the Kurmangazy Sagyrbaev Alma-Ata State Conservatory. Batyrkhan considered this time difficult, since it required a lot of effort in many directions. According to the musician, in those days the students were different. Shukenov noted that at the present time, having come to the conservatory, one can find empty auditoriums, but then this did not happen. The guys studied from early morning until late at night.

Once Batyrkhan Shukenov happened to meet Georgy Metaksa, a well-known jazz musician in the Soviet Union at that time. Then Batyrkhan, performing in a duet with Metaksa, discovered the world of jazz.

In 1982 Batyrkhan Shukenov met Baigali Serkebaev, Bulat Syzdykov, Vladimir Mikloshich, who invited him to become a musician of the Arai group. Shukenov, who studied saxophone, joined the accompanying group of the singer Roza Rymbaeva. It was not in vain that Batyrkhan agreed to become a member of the new team, because it turned out that this was the right decision. As a result, being a member of the Arai group, in 1983 the performer was awarded the title of laureate of the Seventh All-Union Contest of Variety Artists.

In 1985-1986 Batyrkhan Shukenov served in the Soviet Army, where he played in the 12th orchestra of the Central Asian Military District headquarters.

In 1987 Batyrkhan, together with his friends, decided that they were a bit cramped within the framework of the accompanying staff. The musicians founded their own group called "Alma-Ata". The vocalist was Shukenov, who a couple of years before had convinced his colleagues of his own vocal talent. With the release of the first album "Way without Stops" the name of the group changed to "Alma-Ata Studio". After a while, the guys renamed the band into A'Studio, which gained popularity with the hit “Julia”. This song will be called the best composition in Shukenov's musical biography.

At first, the text of the song liked Philip Kirkorov, who was already working on the recording, but then Alla Borisovna Pugacheva gave this composition to Batyrkhan Shukenov. The song performed by the "A'Studio" group made the singer famous after performing at the famous "Christmas Meetings". Soon the concerts of the band gathered crowds of fans. The soloist of the group began to be recognized, and the name of Batyrkhan Shukenov sounded louder and louder.

Later Shukenov admitted that he had completely exhausted himself as a member of A'Studio. The performer wanted to start a solo career, creating his own projects. After 13 years of joint work, Batyrkhan left the group, since it was hard to call the relationship in the team friendly, the parting went quietly and without a scandal. According to rumors, Shukenov in the group was disliked and tolerated only because he was the protégé of the Prima Donna herself, which allegedly provided A'Studio with a free takeoff to the musical Olympus. Batyrkhan later said that the guys more than once were offended that he was the face of the team, while other members of the group played a background role.

On October 26, 2002, Batyrkhan Shukenov presented his first solo album "Otan ana", which means "Motherland" in Russian. The disc includes 10 compositions, a video clip for the song "Otan ana" was also presented.

In the middle of 2007 the presentation of the DVD "Batyr Live" took place. The musician gave a concert at the Palace of the Republic. In the same year, Batyrkhan became the cultural advisor to the President of Kazakhstan.

By 2010, the fourth collection of Shukenov's songs "Caution, dear girl!" Was released. The year turned out to be eventful, and Batyrkhan managed to record another album entitled "Everything will pass", and in 2013 the presentation of the disc "Soul" took place. In total, Shukenov has released 6 albums.

Batyrkhan Shukenov's songs are still played on radio stations, and the singer's clips are gaining thousands of views on the Web. In addition to the single "Julia", which brought popularity to the performer, fans celebrate the compositions "Unloved", "Rain", "Help" and "Your steps". Shukenov as a frontman is gradually acquiring separate popularity due to his natural charm, strong vocals and love for soul, which he broadcast in songs.

In 2015, the third season of the transformation show "One to One!" Began on the Russia 1 channel, where Batyrkhan Shukenov was unexpectedly invited. The musician was absorbed in working on this project. Batyrkhan Shukenov's rivals in the show were prominent representatives of the Russian stage Nikita Malinin, Alexander Rybak, Mark Tishman, Svetlana Svetikova, Angelica Agurbash, Evelina Bledans and Marina Kravets.

In the same year, one of Shukenov's last songs, entitled "Spring will help me", was released. On April 17, 2015, during a live concert at Avtoradio, Batyrkhan Shukenov performed the famous Soviet song "Cranes". The fans admired the sensuality and sincerity of the performance, demanded more performances and concerts, but this was not destined to come true.

The personal life of Batyrkhan Shukenov was hidden behind seven seals. Little is known about Ekaterina Shelyakova, the common-law wife of the musician. Batyrkhan beautifully looked after the girl he liked, and she reciprocated. However, the couple's family life was not happy.

For a long time, the lovers could not become parents, and only a few years later Catherine became pregnant. After the birth of a son, happiness knew no bounds, but the first child of Batyrkhan and Catherine lived only 40 days. The cause of death of the baby is intrauterine infection.

This became a difficult test. According to many of the musician's acquaintances, the death of his son is the main reason why the singer left the A'Studio group in 2000.

Two years later, Batyrkhan and Catherine again became parents, their son was named Maksut. Unfortunately, the death of the first child affected the relationship, and the couple broke up. It is known that Catherine lived with her son in the United States, and Batyrkhan, despite the distance, constantly visited Maksut, maintaining warm relations with the woman.

In 2008, the musician married a young beauty Aigerim. The couple met in St. Petersburg. In Northern Palmyra, the girl then studied at one of the educational institutions. The wedding took place according to all Kazakh customs. Betashar, a Kazakh traditional rite, was held in Kyzylorda, the musician's homeland, after which the newlyweds went to worship the holy places in Turkestan.

Unfortunately, this marriage turned out to be fragile. After some time, the spouses realized that they are different people, and the general principles and interests that had previously linked the couple could no longer affect the situation.

In 2015, participation in the popular project "One to One!" became a new round of Batyrkhan's popularity in Russian show business. At the height of the show, the audience was shocked by the tragic news - on the night of April 29, Batyrkhan Shukenov died in Moscow. Soon it was announced that the founder of the A'Studio group had died of a heart attack. The famous performer was only 52 years old.

The musician's body was delivered to his homeland. Batyrkhan Shukenov was buried in Alma-Ata. Tens of thousands of people came to see their beloved musician on their last journey. Fans of Shukenov's work accompanied him with applause, singing the hit "Julia".

In 2016, a concert in memory of Batyrkhan Shukenov "Soul" took place. In Moscow, in the Crocus City Hall, friends of the famous singer, musician and composer organized an event attended by prominent representatives of show business from Russia and Kazakhstan.

The famous songs of "A'Studio", as well as Batyrkhan's solo works, including those in the Kazakh language, were performed on the stage. Singer Vladimir Presnyakov shared his memories of his friend and colleague, saying that Batyr was more than a friend to him, because the Russian musician often called him brother.

Vladimir's words were confirmed by his mother Elena Presnyakova. The soloist of the "Samotsvety" ensemble added that Batyr was the second son of her family.

People's Artist of Kazakhstan Roza Rymbaeva, who arrived in Moscow to honor the memory of Batyrkhan, noted the achievements of the singer, who left his indelible mark on the development of music in Kazakhstan and Russia. According to Roza Kuanyshevna, today young talented musicians and performers are obliged to strive for such a height.
