Childhood and youth years of the artist Alexei Makarevich
Alexey Lazarevich Makarevich was born in the very heart of Russia - Moscow. The artist's date of birth is November 13, 1954. By the way, it should be mentioned that Alexei is the cousin of the same Andrei Makarevich, who became famous as the frontman of the Time Machine group.
Alexei's parents were far from creativity. Mom - devoted herself to the natural sciences, and the head of the family was listed as an engineer at a scientific institute. It should also be mentioned that for some time Alexei bore the name of his father - Meerovich. However, later, he considered the mother's surname more sonorous. Later he was known as Makarevich.
Alexei was a positive character. In the class, he was the undoubted leader and authority. Makarevich pleased his parents with good grades in his diary. After receiving a matriculation certificate, he entered the capital's architectural institute.
For the first few years, the young man caught the pleasure of studying and the fact that he made a choice in favor of an architectural institute. However, after some time, he was drawn into creativity. From that moment on, Alexei is fond of music and is thinking seriously about mastering some of the instruments.
Alexey Makarevich: creative path
In the early 70s, he founded the first musical project. His brainchild was called "Danger Zone". In the mid-70s of the last century, Makarevich renamed the band, and the musicians began to perform under the banner of "Kuznetsky Most".
At the end of the 70s, another group appeared on the musical arena, which attracted the attention of the Soviet public. We are talking about the Resurrection team. As a musician, Alexei Makarevich was taken into the team.
The guys did not have professional equipment, but there was a great desire to create and make cool tracks. The musicians gathered at Makarevich's apartment to rehearse. Soon, Alexey composed a couple of compositions for the group, which eventually became part of the debut LP.
The participants of the "Resurrection" were incredibly lucky. The fact is that during this period of time the Olympics were just taking place. For musicians, this meant only one thing - easing censorship and loosening the grip. As a result, the band members released musical works that were incredibly warmly welcomed by music lovers.
Despite the fact that the guys became popular in a short period of time, the “fans” soon learned about the dissolution of the group. Alex commented on leaving. He said that he did not regret that he left the project, because there was no place for his self-realization and development.
In the early 90s, Makarevich's career again takes an unexpected turn. In the Children's Variety Theater, at one of the events, the adopted daughter of the musician, Anastasia, performs, along with her girlfriends. Alexey managed to see the potential in girls. He immediately realized that the girls would be able to “blind” a promising youth group.
Producer group "Lyceum"
In 1991, he "put together" a team, which was called "Lyceum". The group included his adopted daughter and girlfriends. The members of the romantic group were not alike, and the only thing that united them was their passionate love for music.
Aleksey Makarevich was responsible for the development of the girls' team from beginning to end. He not only analyzed the musical component, but also followed the stage image of the wards.
In the year the Lyceum was founded, the girls appeared on the Morning Star rating program. They pleased the fans of their work with the performance of a piece of music from the repertoire of the cult group ABBA. After participating in the TV program, they woke up famous.
By the way, the members of the group “borrowed” the first tracks for their repertoire from the Resurrection team. Almost every year, "Lyceum" replenished the discography. Alexei Makarevich managed to grow real stars out of his wards. The band's tracks were especially popular in 1995-2000.
Alexei Makarevich: details of the artist's personal life
Despite the fact that Alexei Makarevich was a public person and could well use his position, he was married only once. Valeria Vernaldovna Kapralova managed to win his heart.
The woman had a daughter from her first marriage, but this did not frighten Alexei. In this woman, he managed to see his soul mate. He also adopted Valeria's daughter, Anastasia. Actually, Nastya's own dad did not take part in her upbringing. The girl perceived her stepfather as her own father. She bears his last name.
In 1987, the couple had a daughter, who was named Varvara. Varya is listed as a member of the Grandmother Sugar group. She, like her father, chose a creative profession for herself. She has a high school diploma. She is a linguist by profession.
Alexey and Valeria have been trying to save the family for 20 years. But, it soon became known that one of the strongest couples was getting divorced. Lera said that now that the children have grown up, she feels abandoned and lonely. Apparently, their marriage in recent years rested only on the general upbringing of children.
