“That’s why I don’t want to live my life over again. I wouldn’t change a single second in it - so wisely, in a single chain, all the events of my biography are collected.

Childhood and youth

Igor Armenovich is Armenian by nationality, and was born in 1956 in Samarkand. After 4 years, the family moved to Dolgoprudny, where father Armen Vaganovich Sarukhanyan graduated from graduate school and began teaching at a technical university. Mother Rosa Ashotovna, having received two higher educations (philological and musical), worked as a teacher of Russian language and literature. In the same place, in the Moscow region, the musician's brother Vagan appeared.

Music

In 1979, Igor got a job in the Blue Bird group, then there were the Flowers and Krug groups. In the mid-80s, a young man discovers his poetic and composing talent. Sarukhanov's services are beginning to be used,. In 1984, his song "Behind a Sharp Turn" won the first prize at the Sopot Festival.

In 1985, the musician made his debut as a soloist at the festival with the composition "Moscow Space", for which he was awarded the first prize. A year later, the first album "If we are on the way" is released. The tour in support of the disc confirmed the emerging popularity of Sarukhanov - sold out reigned at the concerts.

In the 2000s, the artist explores a creative niche related to fashion design. Collections under the fashion brand Igor Sarukhanov are created based on songs and shown at Moscow Fashion Week. In 2007, Sarukhanov's team won a competition from Sberbank for the best design of a Visa Gold credit card.

Personal life

Igor found happiness in his personal life only on the sixth attempt. The wives of the pop star were the artist of the original genre Olga Tatarenko, the archaeologist Nina, the singer Angela, the writer and designer Lena Lenskaya, the ballerina Ekaterina Golubeva-Poldi.

Igor Sarukhanov: biography

The singer was popular back in Soviet times as a composer, poet and performer of his own and other people's songs from the stage. In 1997 he became the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

The singer considers Samarkand to be his hometown. There were Armenians and Azerbaijanis in his family. From the age of four, the Sarukhanov family began to live in Dolgoprudny. Mom is a teacher of Russian language and literature, father, candidate of technical sciences, got a job in one of the capital's universities. The great-grandfather on the father's side had a lot of money from the sale of grain, timber and stone, owned several plants and factories. Actively helped the hungry.

Igor could tell a lot of interesting things about his family. He himself went to school and along the way learned to play his favorite instrument - the guitar, so he enthusiastically and diligently engaged in music classes, which made teachers and parents very happy. Soon, not a single school disco was held without Igor and his guitar. Igor and the guys took fees for their performances, which the director of the school was very dissatisfied with.

Commercial activity in the Soviet Union was prohibited. They wanted to expel the entire composition of the musicians accompanying the discos at the school. But Father Sarukhanov Sr. convincingly proved to the administration of the educational institution that the funds were spent on new instruments and guitar strings. We can say that the biography of the singer began from the school bench.

Career formation, songs

Like all young people, Sarukhanov went to serve in the army. Igor's army years were spent in the Moscow Military District in the Song and Dance Ensemble. It was here that he met Stas Namin. This musician helped the future composer get a job in the famous ensemble. Sarukhanov finally decided to become a professional singer in 1979 while working in the Blue Bird ensemble.

Later, Igor left the ensemble for the Flowers group. Soon, through the efforts of the future composer, the Krug group was created, which lasted three years. This team consisted of those who had previously played in the group "Flowers".

When the poet Anatoly Monastyrev begins cooperation with the newly formed group, new songs and audience recognition appear. But soon a decree was issued in the country on the disbandment of many groups, including the Circle under this instruction. The deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper Sovetskaya Kultura, the wife of the son of Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, the poetess Tatyana Kvardakova, interceded for the musicians. A new surge of ideas and solutions occurred in 1985. Igor participated in the Moscow World Youth Festival and became its winner.
Solo tours began, and his first song album was released. The circulation sold out instantly. Igor continues to participate in various song contests and festivals, he wins well-deserved awards. The singer began to actively write songs for the A'Studio group, Nikolai Noskov, Anne Veski, Alexander Marshal. In addition, he wrote the book "Biography of Feelings". The artist's career went uphill: he received the title of Honored Artist, membership in the Union of Writers and the Union of Composers.

Igor Sarukhanov: biography of personal life

Married Igor Sarukhanov was six times. In his first marriage, he was with Olga Tatarenko. She is a circus performer, demonstrating the flexibility of her body in the “rubber woman” act. In this union, love feelings did not last long, and Igor met the archaeologist Nina, with whom he lived for five years.

For the third time, the beautiful gypsy Angela bewitched the singer. At the wedding, they walked on a gypsy scale, but also to no avail: the family broke up. For the fourth time, the singer and composer decided to start a family. This time, he chose fashion designer and designer Elena Lenskaya as his life partner. And again, the number "5" began to haunt this marriage.

The ballerina Ekaterina Golubeva-Poldi became the fifth wife after a two-year acquaintance. She composed poems that immediately went to the music of her husband, starred in his videos. The great love that broke out between the two artists did not last long.

It turned out that Igor was always looking for his companions not at all there. Happiness has always been there. Its administrator was Tatyana Kostycheva, who solved many of the performer's work problems. Once Igor Sarukhanov tried to look at Tanya differently, made an offer, in 2008 young people connected their destinies. The husband adopted Tanya's daughter from a guy who ran away, leaving the girl in an "interesting" position. Now this girl's name is Lyubov Sarukhanova.

After seven years of marriage, Tanya gave birth to a daughter, Rose. So unexpectedly, a new interesting and pleasant fact appeared in the singer's biography: at the age of 58, Igor Armenovich became a father. Now the whole family lives in a mansion, which the head of the family has been building for about twenty years. Now, in addition to a residential building, there is a guest house, a swimming pool, a bathhouse, a garden, a music studio where you can create new musical compositions.
Biography by Natsh

Singer Igor Sarukhanov shared his joy from his daughter, recently born in her sixth marriage, who became his first child.

[:rsame:]

The popular performer of the songs “Violin-Fox”, “Boat”, “I Wish You” Igor Sarukhanov became a father for the first time at the age of 58! He played in Soviet ensembles: "Blue Bird", "Colors", "Circle". He wrote songs for Alla Pugacheva, Anna Veski, the Combination group and other Soviet performers.

The long-awaited child was presented to the artist by his wife, and part-time administrator Tatyana. They got married in June 2014. Before meeting with his current wife, the musician was married five times: with plastic choreography artist Olga Tatarenko, archaeologist Nina Sarukhanova, soloist of the gypsy trio Angela, fashion designer Elena Lenskaya and ballerina Ekaterina Golubeva-Poldi. And only with the sixth wife finally found the happiness of fatherhood.

On January 24, in one of the capital's maternity hospitals, Igor Armenovich had a wonderful daughter. He fulfilled his promise from the song “My Dear Old People”: “My young old people ... And I will take your names”, he named it in honor of his mother - Rosa. Recall that Igor Sarukhanov already has a child - a daughter, Lyuba, who was born in 2008. He is not the biological father, but he is raising the girl as a true parent. In February, the musician was seized by unprecedented inspiration: a new album will soon be ready, which the singer will dedicate to the newborn.

Igor Sarukhanov / Yuri Samolygo

- All year I worked on this record, looking at my pregnant wife. And, of course, I dedicated it to the baby. The disc has the working title "Go Crazy", because you can really go crazy from such a buzz.

Igor already had the experience of fatherhood, so he is, as they say, a father "in the know."

“Before giving birth, my wife and I made a list of necessary things that I chose with great trepidation and love. He came to the maternity hospital with unprecedented enthusiasm and brought everything he needed.

When Igor was told that there would be a daughter, he began to cry.

- A powerful energy stream of light fell on me, which turned into tears of joy. I immediately drank a glass of cognac. By the way, it didn't work. I went to the hospital in a taxi and even left some items of clothing in the car. On the twelfth day, Rose began to change: beautiful features began to appear. In general, I have a wonderful princess growing up.

[:rsame:]

The artist categorically refused to attend the birth.

They offered me, but I didn't want to. This is a sacrament. During childbirth, only a woman and a doctor should be present. It is not necessary for the husband to see.

Sarukhanov does an excellent job not only with the role of a father, but also a mentor, a friend who understands how to find an approach to a child and raise an intelligent and full-fledged personality.

“All the lyalechki in envelopes, of course, grow ... I want the lyalechka to choose the right path.”

Igor Sarukhanov / personal archive of Igor Sarukhanov

- You need to talk a lot with children, read to them and give them knowledge in a dosed manner. In the process of growing up, it is necessary that children communicate with smart people, then the child will learn to succinctly formulate thoughts and avoid tongue-tied speech. If the child said something incorrectly, then you need to ask him to repeat it correctly. Of course, there is no need to swear in front of a child.

My eldest daughter Lyuba (born in 2008) is now engaged in rhythmic gymnastics, music - she sings from notes, learns languages. We try to make her grow up to be a well-rounded girl. By the age of six, Lyuba already knows how to speak, read and write well. I don't want girls to follow in my footsteps. But I will approve if they themselves sincerely want to study at the conservatory or in the specialty "Variety-Jazz Vocal". We have excellent teachers who can raise worthy musicians. In general, time will tell. In any case, I will always help Lyuba and Rosa, I will always support them.

“Without you, the cold will come and all the flowers will die ... The noisy city will empty, and dreams will fall asleep in the soul”

Igor's sixth marriage gave him full-fledged family happiness. He considers previous relationships to be wonderful experiences and interesting meetings.

- After all, each meeting does not happen by chance: we learn something new, we learn. We should thank those people who were in our lives. I am grateful to them. Tanya is my person, I feel comfortable and light with her. I wish everyone to find a loved one.

The age difference between the spouses did not stop them from embarking on the path of happiness.

Igor Sarukhanov: Happiness is not in age, but in the state of mind and readiness to accept happiness, love / personal archive of Igor Sarukhanov

- Me and Tanya did not even think about the difference in years. Happiness is not in age, but in the state of mind and readiness to accept happiness, love.

After the birth of their daughter, Igor and Tatyana are helped by their grandmother (wife's mother).

- When Tanya's mother leaves, - says Sarukhanov, - I have little idea what I will do. It is very difficult to find a suitable nanny these days. At the moment we are helping relatives. Of course, we are not going to leave the child with the nanny. We will look not so much for a nanny, but for a person on the "pickup", a teacher. Tanya takes care of the children.

Igor is immersed in pleasant chores and waits until the girl grows up a little to sing lullabies to her.

Our editors congratulate Igor Sarukhanov on a wonderful event in his life and wish that children's laughter always sounded in his house!

Igor Armenovich Sarukhanov. Born on April 6, 1956 in Samarkand (Uzbekistan). Soviet and Russian musician, singer, composer, poet. Honored Artist of the Russian Federation (1997).

Armenian by nationality.

Father - Armen Vaganovich Sarukhanyan (1930-1991), scientist, candidate of technical sciences, taught at a technical university.

The younger brother is Vagan Armenovich Sarukhanov (born 1960).

Maternal ancestors come from Goris, and paternal ancestors come from Stepanakert. My paternal great-grandfather was a wealthy man, he was engaged in grain, timber, stone processing, had several plants and factories under his control. In 1921-22, during the famine in the Volga region, he sent there compositions of grain from his factories. During the mass repressions, in order to avoid arrest and execution, he destroyed all documents and renounced his own property.

When Igor was four years old, the family from Samarkand moved to Moscow, where his father defended his dissertation.

In Dolgoprudny he graduated from music school No. 1 in the class of classical guitar.

While still a teenager, he began performing at dances and discos, earning money, because of which he had problems at school. He recalled: “I have been studying music since childhood, and from the sixth grade I already created an ensemble. We performed not only at school holidays, but also at rest evenings in our native Dolgoprudny near Moscow. However, once the director wanted ... to expel us from school. that we received money for our performances. It turns out that we were conducting commercial activities, which in Soviet times was absolutely impossible to do! My dad came to help us out. He went to the director and explained to him: yes, we took the money. But the money was needed for the purchase new instruments, strings for old guitars, because the strings wear out quickly."

He served in the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Moscow Military District, where he met Stas Namin. Thanks to the latter, after demobilization in 1979, he got into the Blue Bird ensemble. Then he worked in the VIA "Flowers", with which he performed until 1981.

In 1981, Igor Sarukhanov founded his group "A circle". The line-up was formed from the former musicians of Stas Namin's group "Flowers" - in addition to Igor Sarukhanov (guitar, vocals), Alexander Slizunov (keyboards), Vladimir Vasiliev (bass, vocals) and Mikhail Fainzilberg (drums) were included. Their very first song - "Kara-Kum" - became the hallmark of the group.

The young team was taken under guardianship by the poet Anatoly Monastyrev, after which the group begins an active successful touring life. However, in August 1982, the USSR Ministry of Culture issued an order to disband a number of supergroups, in the same order the musicians of the Circle were forbidden by name to work together. The group was saved from immediate reprisals only by the intercession of the deputy editor-in-chief of the Sovetskaya Kultura newspaper, the poetess Tatyana Kvardakova, the wife of Igor Yuryevich Andropov, the son of the then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov. She personally met with the Deputy Minister of Culture, the popular actor Georgy Ivanov, and convinced him to cancel the order. However, the entire second half of 1982 and part of 1983, the group sat without concerts.

The Krug group broke up in 1984 due to personal relationships within the team.

In 1984, at the festival in Sopot, he was awarded the first prize as the author of the song "Behind a sharp turn."

Since 1985, Sarukhanov began a solo career. He declared himself at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow, where he won the first prize in the competition for the best song about Moscow - "Moscow Space".

In 1986, the first giant disc of the singer "If we are on the way" was released. From that moment on, he began to actively tour, received the title of laureate of the Bratislava Lira festival.

Many of his songs became hits - “Green Eyes”, “My Dear Old Men”, “Behind a Sharp Turn”, “Boat”, etc.
