Alexander Alekseevich Pryanikov was born in Orenburg in 1969 into a family of two musicians. His mother, Faina Pryanikova, was a pianist-accompanist, and his father, Alexei Pryanikov, worked as a trumpet teacher at the Moscow Theater. After high school and the army, Pryanikov graduated from the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music (Gnesinka) and left for the United States to stage musicals on Broadway.
Carier start
In 1995, Alexander passed the casting and became the presenter on the Muz-TV channel, which gave him popularity. After he conquered the Muz-TV audience, Pryanikov went to conquer radio. So he soon became the program director at "Russian Radio". In parallel with this, he worked as a presenter of many events of those years.

Since 2006, Pryanikov has collaborated with the private television company "Author's Television", which is the oldest independent production television company in Russia. In 2005, the morning talk show "Well done" starts - Pryanikov leads it together with Larsen.
Further, Alexander becomes the host of "Blah-blah Show". It was launched on REN-TV in 2007. Despite the fact that the program had a humorous focus, its rating was rather low, and by the end of 2007 the show was closed by the general director of the channel, since, in his opinion, the reputation of the entire REN-TV suffered from the show.
After finishing work on "Blah-Blah Show", Pryanikov goes into a sports program about rugby.
