Yuriy Loza

Yuri Loza is a Soviet and Russian singer, composer and songwriter. Fame came to the artist as part of the "Architect" group, but the famous song "Raft" was already performed solo.

Yuri was born in Yekaterinburg into a family of employees. My father worked as a design engineer, and my mother was an accountant. Almost immediately after the birth of the baby, the parents moved to Verkhniy Tagil, and at the age of 7, Yura ended up in the then capital of Kazakhstan.

In Alma-Ata Loza first became interested in music. At the age of 13, he independently learned to play the guitar and even performed at the evenings of amateur performances as part of the ensemble of the production association "Remstroytechnika". Hobby played a decisive role in the formation of the biography of Yuri Loza. But there were still four years left before the crucial step.

At that time, the young man did not see himself as a professional performer, so he entered the geological faculty at the Kazakh State University. After two years of study, Yuri dropped out of the university, went to the army, and after demobilization he entered the Alma-Ata musical school.

Молодой человек учился на отделении ударных инструментов, но и здесь диплома не получил, так как переехал в Москву, где начал профессиональную карьеру гитариста и вокалиста. В 1983 году Юрий Лоза пытался поступить в ГИТИС, но не прошел по конкурсу. Высшее образование музыканту удалось получить только спустя двадцать лет – в 2003 году мужчина окончил Московский государственный университет экономики, статистики и информатики.

Upon arrival in Moscow, Yuri Loza played and sang in the capital's restaurants. The musician's repertoire consisted of Soviet and foreign hits. Then the singer got into the ensemble "Kaleidoscope", from which he moved to the group of Bari Alibasov "Integral". As part of the band, Loza took part in the Spring Rhythms rock festival in Tbilisi, which became a landmark in the history of Soviet rock music. The musician collaborated with Integral for 5 years, but Yuri was upset that his own songs were not included in the repertoire. Only one composition "Reserved Places" was sung at a concert and later recorded in the studio by another group VIA "Ariel".

Loza leaves the ensemble and, with the help of the musicians of the Primus group, records the first album, A Journey to Rock 'n' Roll, which was released in 1983 on magnetic tapes. In the same period, the song "Raft" was written, which later became the singer's calling card, but the composition only got on the disc in 1988. The artist included the hit in the collection "What Is Said Is Said", where the songs "Mother Writes", "Winter", "I Know How to Dream" were also collected.

After the debut album, Yuri Loza joined the Zodchie group, where Valery Syutkin, the future frontman of the Bravo rock and roll ensemble, had already performed. For four years of work in "Architects" Loza wrote about a hundred songs, many of which formed the backbone of the collective's repertoire. In 1986, Yuri released a solo studio album "Love, Love", which included the tracks "July Night", "Midnight Blues", "One Hundred Hours".

A year later, the artist gave his first solo concert and finally left the "Architects". In 1990, Loza, being the administrator of the Ryazan Philharmonic Society, delighted fans with the disc "All Life is a Road". After the release of the disc, Yuri decided to open his own recording studio, and in 1993, Yuri Loza's Studio appeared.

The songs of Yuri Loza were especially popular when the singer began his solo career. The end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s became the golden time for the artist. Musical compositions, which are a cocktail of the author's song, traditional pop and rock music, were in demand and often hit the top lines of the charts.

In addition to "Raft", it is worth highlighting such hits as "Sing, my guitar", "Winter", "I can dream", "Tosca", "In memory of Vysotsky". As mentioned above, in 1993 the singer created his own recording studio "Studio Yuri Loza". The last studio album of the artist "Reserved Places" was released in 2000. The artist presented his fans with new tracks - "Station", "Children's eyes", "There is far away." Since the early 2000s, only songbooks have been released.

The artist's video library is not rich in clips. With the exception of the videos that appeared at the beginning of the singer's creative career - "Winter", "Irresistible", "Not so", in 2003 there were clips "Moscow for you" and "A year has passed." The last video for the song "City Courtyards" appeared only in 2015.

The artist devotes the 2000s to creative searches. Yuri Loza appears in a number of cinematographic and television projects - the film "Multiplying Sadness", the sitcom "Who is the Boss in the House?" and the comedy detective Kings of the Game.

In 2009, the singer tried himself in the role of a musical playwright and wrote the play "Cultures". The performance on the text of the musician's work was shown by the Jewish Folk Music and Drama Theater "Kogelet" in 2014.

Recently, Yuri Loza began to speak with critical remarks about other musicians and significant events in the world. The artist posts reflections on pages in social networks, and also spoke openly on the air of Zakhar Prilepin's show "Salt".

Loza said that the significance of the Russian singer Zemfira has been exaggerated many times over. The musician also criticized the classics of world rock - guitar virtuoso Jimmy Hendrix and the groups "Led Zeppelin" and "Rolling Stones". Yuri Eduardovich accused British musicians of unprofessionalism, saying that they did not even know how to tune their own guitars.

Lohse also added that "Mick Jagger never hit a single note, and Keith Richards, as he did not know how to play then, does not know how now."

And on Cosmonautics Day, Lohse criticized the content of the first ever radio signal to extraterrestrial civilizations, sent into space in 1962. The artist said that even if the aliens receive this message and are able to decipher, the words "Peace - Lenin - USSR" will give them absolutely nothing to understand.

The artist's personal life has developed well. The only wife of Yuri Loza was and remains Svetlana Merezhkovskaya. The wife is also a singer in the past, has released several albums of the author's song and even was a laureate at the All-Union contest of pop artists. Now a woman is more realized as a poetess. Svetlana edits and criticizes the lyrics of her husband's songs.

The son Oleg was born in the family in 1986. The boy turned out to be musically gifted, graduated from the Gnessin College and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. He currently acts as an opera singer.

Now Yuri Loza is mastering the newsmaking niche, pushing his musical career into the background. As before, the singer performs in solo and group concerts dedicated to the music of the 80s and 90s. The performer is often seen at private parties. The last time the artist visited Kamchatka on this occasion. The journalists took a photo of Yuri Loza at the airport of the peninsula, and then found out that the star of the 80s flew to a concert on the occasion of the birthday of the local oligarch, deputy Roman Granatov.

In November, Yuri Loza again surprised the subscribers of his blog. The musician spoke positively about the activities of Olga Buzova, calling the girl honest. In this Yuri Eduardovich was in solidarity with Joseph Kobzon, Slava and Philip Kirkorov. But after the performance of his son Oleg at the television competition "Success", where the opera singer was condemned by rapper Purulent and Philip Kirkorov, Loza entered into a polemic with the latter. Yuri mentioned that his son, unlike the jury members, is a practicing vocal teacher.

Yuri Loza could not leave aside the statement of Ksenia Sobchak about running for president of Russia. The singer is sure that the girl will be supported by the required number of people - 300 thousand, whose votes will allow Ksenia to get on the coveted list. The musician is sure that there will be people in the country who support the policy of the collapse of Russia and who will be interested in seeing the TV presenter in the role of president.
