Career and personal life
Life circumstances pushed Yuri Kalashnikov to creativity, and after a couple of years chanson became his way of life. With the help of this genre, he has the opportunity to express his opinion, thinking and show spiritual qualities. The singer himself admits that thanks to Sergey Korzhukov's song "Lesopoval" (he grew up on this song), he has become more attached to chanson. He was also inspired by such singers as Rosenbaum, Vysotsky and Nagovitsyn. Unfortunately, Yuri has no plans to perform on stage. The reason for this was the lack of people who would be involved in organizing concerts, and the author himself does not have time.
Not so long ago, the singer signed an agreement with Irina Krug and Yuri Shatunov for the joint performance of new songs. A clip with a joint performance is expected very soon. Kalashnikov believes that there is no glamor in chanson, and the performers know what they are singing about, including Yuri himself. He always compared Chanson to a wolf, this genre is just as proud, bold and lonely. The songs of this style are soulful and some based on real events.
In his songs, no one will find passages with humor. The performer himself admits that he is prone to lyric notes. In his opinion, for the words that are performed in the song, you need to answer and be responsible for every word. The song "Silence and Peace" very accurately reveals the character and views on the life of the singer. Most of the songs are written as a result of different experiences. Yuri frankly admitted that he is a sensitive person and his mood can radically change because of the people who surround him, all this is reflected in his work. It is worth noting that the singer coped with the problems himself, and yet, his wife and son constantly support him.
In 2009, Yuri Kalashnikov's first album, entitled “Life-Wheel”, was released, and after the release, with small steps, Yuri became recognizable in the chanson.
