Alexey Bryantsev is one of the most popular Russian chansonniers in Russia. The velvet voice of the singer enchants not only the representatives of the weaker, but also the stronger sex.
Alexey Bryantsev is often compared with the legendary Mikhail Krug. Despite some similarities, Bryantsev is original.
Over the years of being on stage, he managed to find an individual style of performance. Comparisons with the Circle are inappropriate, although they flatter the young chansonnier.
Childhood and youth of Alexei Bryantsev
Alexey Bryantsev was born on February 19, 1984 in the provincial city of Voronezh. He began to be interested in music since childhood.
It is known that little Lyosha attended a music school, where he not only learned musical notation, but also got acquainted with the basics of vocals.
Music did not pursue Lyosha. At school, he studied "average", and then he did not dream that he would perform on stage. After receiving a certificate, Alexey became a student at the Voronezh Polytechnic Institute, choosing the profession of an oil and gas engineer.
In those years, Bryantsev tried himself as an entrepreneur. In parallel with his studies, the young man opened a fast food cafe.
Alexei was pleased. The cafe gave a good profit, but over the years it began to “fade out”. It is interesting that the institution is still working, and the mother of the star is in charge of the cafe.
After graduating from a higher educational institution, the young man had prospects to further develop the business, but Lyosha went in a completely opposite direction.
Bryantsev suddenly realized that he missed music. Without thinking twice, Alexey went to the audition, where quite good prospects opened up for him.
Creative path and music Alexey Bryantsev
The audition took place not with anyone, but with the famous namesake of Alexei - Alexei Bryantsev Sr. The fact is that Bryantsev Sr. is a producer, as well as a songwriter of the "yard romance" style.
To understand that Bryantsev Sr. is talented, it is enough to listen to a few tracks of the Butyrka group. This team is the brainchild of Bryantsev Sr.
In some media there is information that Bryantsev Jr. and Bryantsev Sr. are distant relatives. But the men never commented on these "rumors".
Bryantsev Sr. appreciated Alexei's vocal abilities. Despite the fact that a young man was standing in front of the producer, he sang with the voice of an adult man.
Comparison with the Circle
He also noted that the guy sings like Krug. Bryantsev Sr. understood that such a “voice similarity” could be beneficial - this is one of the options for attracting fans.
The comparison was very flattering to the young man, because at that time he did not have much authority. But on the other hand, after the death of the Circle, so many performers imitated his manner of performance, and this connected all the chansonniers into a single whole.
Lacked originality and individuality. Alexei did not want to become one of these faceless performers. So he decided to create his own and unique style.
Bryantsev Sr. heard about what his ward wants. The producer set about creating a repertoire for the young singer. Soon chanson fans enjoyed the musical composition "Hi, baby!" performed by Alexey Bryantsev.
Initially, according to the intention of the producer, Alexei was supposed to perform this track with a woman. Bryantsev Sr. wanted to sing a duet with Elena Kasyanova (a popular chanson performer), but circumstances turned out a little differently.
By a happy coincidence, Alexey Bryantsev performed “Hi, baby” with the ex-wife of the deceased Mikhail Krug, Irina Krug. From that moment began the professional career of Alexei Bryantsev.
The fans of chanson liked the debut musical composition. Alexey Bryantsev literally woke up popular.
His rating also increased due to the fact that he performed in a duet with the popular chansonnier Irina Krug. "Hey Baby" is not the last collaboration between the performers.

This event was held in Kyiv, in the Palace of Arts "Ukraine". In an interview, Alexey Bryantsev admitted that he was very worried before going on stage, he could not calm down.
After he pulled himself together, the man went on stage. The audience greeted the chansonnier with a standing ovation.
