Some experts argue that Soviet pop songs remain a source of inspiration for contemporary performers. Vyacheslav Malezhik refers to himself as one of the older generation of singers and composers. He was brought up in a classic style.
Childhood and youth
Hobbies of an early age often have an impact on the future fate of a person. Vyacheslav Efimovich Malezhik became a famous performer thanks to his solo performances. The future Honored Artist of Russia was born on February 17, 1947 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in Moscow. My father worked as a driver in a trucking company. Mother taught mathematics at school. People from theatrical or musical gatherings did not meet in the circle of relatives and acquaintances. At the same time, from a young age, the boy demonstrated vocal and musical abilities.
When the age approached, Vyacheslav was enrolled in two schools at once - general education and music. Exact sciences - mathematics and physics - were easy for him. After the first year of study in the music school, the future maestro already played the button accordion famously. On summer evenings, a neighbor, Uncle Misha, asked him to sing a song about bright days, "when he served as a coachman at the post office." And Slava got satisfaction from well-deserved applause. Then followed "Lonely accordion", "On the Volga wide, on the far arrow", "Migratory birds are flying."
Creative career
Having received a certificate of maturity, Malezhik easily entered the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers. In this case, he was guided by a simple everyday logic - you need to have a demanded specialty in your hands. Vyacheslav received a diploma of a mechanical engineer, but he did not have to work in his specialty. His student years allowed him to reveal his talent to a large extent. Already in the first year, he became a member of the institute's vocal and instrumental ensemble "Guys". He was accepted as a guitarist and vocalist.
Taking part in concerts and touring trips, Malezhik did not stop composing musical compositions based on the poems of poets with whom he communicated in the daily hustle and bustle. For almost ten years, Vyacheslav performed in the famous group "Flame". During this period, he recorded his first song "Two Hundred Years". The singer's solo career began in 1986. It was in that year that the first solo album entitled "The Sacvoyage" was released, which sold 2 million copies across the country.
Recognition and privacy
For his great contribution to the development of musical art, Vyacheslav Malezhik was awarded the honorary title "Honored Artist of the Russian Federation". Over the years of active work, he has released more than thirty solo albums.
The personal life of the performer and composer has developed well. In 1977, he married a girl named Tanya. The husband and wife raised and raised two sons. At the moment, they have grandchildren in their house on a regular basis. In 2017, Vyacheslav Efimovich suffered a stroke. Fortunately, the illness was overcome.
