The famous Soviet song contains words that the song helps us to build and live. Even in the darkest mood, a reasonable person will not argue with this thesis. In every country, in every nation, performers are born who leave a memory of themselves for many years. Jean Arutyunovich Tatlyan is one of such talented singers.
early years
In the myths of Ancient Greece, you can find many examples of how Vestals predicted the fate of a particular person. In the biography of Jean Tatlyan, there are both joyful and sad stories. Life collisions no one predicted for him. According to official figures, the famous singer was born on August 1, 1943 in the Greek town of Thessaloniki. After a long wandering, a family of Armenian refugees moved here, fleeing threats and persecution. It should be noted that in this place no one gave guarantees for the preservation of their health and life.
Jean was the third child in the family. Father at that time was already more than fifty years old. From an early age, the boy demonstrated musical and vocal abilities. His mother took him to a local music school. However, some time later, in 1947, the family returned to the Soviet Union and Jean was unable to complete his education. At home, the situation was not easy and the former refugees had to change their place of residence several times. In 1956, his parents settled in Sukhumi, and the teenager entered the local variety and circus school.
It is within the walls of this educational institution that the professional career of a singer begins. The vocal abilities of Jean were immediately noticed by experts. The responsible persons asked how the young man lives and invited him to the jazz orchestra. I must say that Tatlyan willingly responded to all incoming proposals, while diligently looking for his niche as a performer. Love for music and vocals interspersed with the desire for independence and creative freedom.
Way to success
In the early 60s, Tatlyan moved to Leningrad and went to work at the local philharmonic society. He manages to create his own ensemble, with which the singer successfully performs at prestigious venues and tours the country. The songs "Autumn Light" and "Street Lights" became real hits that sounded from "every iron". It would seem that the career of a popular artist is developing as it should. However, in 1971, Jean Tatlyan gave up all his affairs in the Union and went to Paris. Emigration did not scare him, and he began performing wherever he could.
Soviet citizens who came to France, pray to listen to songs performed by Tatlyan in restaurants and cabarets. The famous singer quickly adapted to a civilized foreign land. The language barrier was overcome in a matter of weeks. In total, Jean knows five foreign languages well, not counting Russian. After the collapse of the USSR, the singer came on tour to Russia several times. We greeted him with great joy. At the beginning of the 21st century, Tatlyan decided to return to his native land forever.
The singer settled in St. Petersburg. As far as possible, he is engaged in concert activities. Very little is known about Jean's personal life. At one time he was known as an avid ladies' man. But as they say, steep hills were rolled up. Today he lives in marriage. Husband and wife do not advertise their relationship. History is silent about whether the singer has children.
