Biography
Valery Syutkin was born in Moscow in 1958 into a family of choreographers. Since childhood, he grew up very musical and was a real music lover. Valery especially liked the work of the Beatles. He began to get involved in playing percussion instruments and soon bought real drums with the money he had saved. So Valery got into the school rock group "Excited Reality", which was very popular, and Syutkin himself, in addition to drums, mastered playing the bass guitar.
Valery Syutkin began to sing completely unexpectedly. While serving in the army, he played in the military ensemble "Flight" and once replaced a sick soloist. The performance was so successful that Syutkin continued to sing on an ongoing basis. In 1978, Valery returned to Moscow and for some time remained a simple worker, until he got into the "Telephone" team. The group gradually became famous and recorded several albums.
After 1985, the collective was renamed "Zodchie", which continued its successful musical work. However, in 1988, Syutkin left the group and joined the Feng-o-Man trio.
