Sergey Shnurov: biography

The famous musician was born on April 13, 1973. As the place of his birth, the city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) is indicated. Sergei's father and mother are ordinary people, not related to music and show business.

Our hero went to a regular school. In elementary school he studied well. But in adolescence, Sergei began to miss lessons and enter into conflicts with teachers. From his mouth often flew obscene language, that is, mate. Parents had to blush for his offspring.

The family lived modestly. Money for expensive clothes and food at the Cord was not. To help his parents a little, the teenage son went to work. He swept the streets and carried out flyers.

Student years

Sergey Shnurov was able to pull himself together and graduate from high school. He easily entered the LISA at the Faculty of Architecture. But I did not study there for long. If you think that Seryozha has put an end to education, you are mistaken. He was enrolled in the restoration lyceum, opened at the LISI. But that is not all.

"Leningrad"

At some point Sergey Shnurov realized that his vocation was music. In 1991 he created the project "Alkorepitsa". Collected by him the team worked in the genre of "hardcore rap". Then there was the group "The Ear of Van Gogh", performing in the style of techno. She did not receive a deafening success and recognition and soon broke up.

Famous and beloved by many, the group "Leningrad" was formed in January 1997. The most interesting thing is that in its promotion there was not invested a ruble. Our hero is a free man. He does not have directors, producers and contractual obligations to record companies. Someone calls "Leningrad" a rock band. Sam Schnurov does not think so. He declares that he is only engaged in art. Mat is not a goal, but a means of conveying information.

Speeches
