Biography
Aslan Sananovich Huseynov was born on September 22, 1975 in the Caucasus, in the city of Makhachkala. The boy spent his childhood on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Aslan's parents are from Derbent, a city in the south of Dagestan, and his grandfather has Iranian roots. His mother worked as a mathematics teacher at school, so the boy made progress in technical sciences from his youth.
While still a schoolboy, he became interested in music. With his family, Aslan often attended concerts and other creative events. His parents put him in a music school in his hometown, where he learned to play folk Caucasian instruments, including the tar, an Azerbaijani string instrument. Aslan was lucky - the famous musician Zafar Kuliev became his teacher. The young man took part in competitions for playing the tar, where he always won prizes, went to Russian festivals of folk music.
Immediately after that, he entered the music school at the vocal department. I was engaged in dancing for a year, but I could not reveal my creative potential through choreography. The young man tried to get all-round development: he tried himself in martial arts and in swimming.
In 1993 he entered the Dagestan State University at the Faculty of Economics. As a student, he took part in various vocal competitions, performed at city concerts and festivals. At the same time, he began to write his own songs. The young man graduated from the university with honors, wrote and defended his dissertation and received the title of candidate of economic sciences. However, Aslan did not work by profession - instead, he decided to devote his life to art.
Member of the Dagestan KVN
In 1997, the TV show "The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful" (KVN) gained great popularity. Aslan joined the university team “Makhachkala vagrants”, which was founded in 1996 by fellow students Andrey Galanov and Shaban Muslimov.
They created a new style of KVN with traditional Caucasian dances and songs. When the "Tramps" broke up, some of the participants united in the "Kinsa" gang - among them was Aslan Huseynov. In the group, he was the lead singer, and also wrote lyrics and music. In 2002, the group disbanded.
Aslan Huseynov's creativity
At the same time, Huseynov began writing songs for other Dagestani performers. Soon his name gained significant popularity - such pop stars as Dima Bilan and Irakli began to order texts from Huseynov.
Most notable works:
- "Most Favorite" for singer Jasmine;
- Run for Nastya Zadorozhnaya;
- “Take a step” for the performer Irakli;
- “Become for Me” for Dima Bilan;
- Soundtrack to the movie "Love in the Big City 2".
Aslan Huseynov writes songs not only in Russian, but also in Azerbaijani, which he speaks perfectly - the artist's maternal relatives are from Baku. He often visits the capital of Azerbaijan - he visits his relatives and gives concerts. In addition, he recorded several duets with Baku musicians.
The musician's discography contains a couple of compositions in other foreign languages: English, Farsi and Turkish.
Solo career
In 2007, the singer was invited to the TV show STS Lights a Superstar. To do this, he had to move to Moscow. This project brought fame to the artist. Immediately after finishing work on the program, Aslan Huseynov took up a solo project.
The first song written and performed personally by Aslan is “Where are you”. She quickly took the first lines in the charts of Russian radio and DFM radio stations. Major music channels began broadcasting a video for the song throughout the country and even beyond its borders - in Germany and Azerbaijan. Huseynov also released an English version of the hit. This opened the way for the song to foreign radio stations.
With this composition Huseynov was nominated for the Golden Gramophone award
Aslan's next work - the song “We'll start all over again” - also hit the DFM radio. In 2011, two hits of Aslan came out at once: "My God" and "I Know, I Know". Now the singer works at corporate parties, anniversaries and weddings in Moscow. Every year, the artist goes on a tour to the Baltic countries and neighboring countries. Next year she plans to hold a creative evening and invite Dagestani and Russian artists who will perform songs written by Guseinov.
The artist rarely performs with a phonogram, but he has a positive attitude towards its use. In an interview for the magazine "Aksakal" he justifies such a performance: the audience, according to Huseynov, first of all evaluate the song, not the vocals, and it is difficult to set up a high-quality sound at concert venues in Russia.
The singer often takes part in charity events and organizes his own. One of Aslan's last concerts was dedicated to helping sick children - half of the proceeds from ticket sales were sent to a charitable foundation.
Among the new works of Aslan Huseynov are such popular compositions as "I will not forget you" and "We will start everything anew."
Personal life
He is married to Samira Hasanova. The couple have two children. The actor prefers not to talk about his personal life on social networks. There are no photos of his wife and children on Aslan Huseynov's Instagram page. In an interview for one of the magazines, the singer admits that he has always been a decent husband and never had affairs on the side.
