Irina Bogushevskaya, singer, poetess and composer, who is not usually compared with anyone else. Her music and songs are very special. That is why her work is given a special place in show business. Plus, she makes her own music. She is remembered by listeners for her soulful voice and the deep meaning of lyrical songs. And the instrumental accompaniment gives a special atmosphere and unique charm to her performances.
Love for music since childhood
Irina Aleksandrovna Bogushevskaya is a native Muscovite. She was born in 1965. But she spent almost all her childhood years abroad. Due to the work of her father (he was a sought-after translator for the government), the family moved to Baghdad when the girl was three years old. Then for some time little Ira and her family lived in Hungary. They returned to Moscow only when the girl graduated from school.
Love for creativity manifested itself in Irina Bogushevskaya from an early age. Even at preschool age, the girl composed poems and recited them at family holidays. And she simply adored when her mother read poetry aloud or sang. The little artist has always tried to imitate, and she did it well. Irina's voice was clear and sonorous. From the first time she could repeat any melody, exactly hitting the notes. Noticing her daughter's talent and her passion for vocals, her parents enrolled her in classes with the famous music teacher Irina Malakhova.
Irina Bogushevskaya: the singer's road to a dream
In high school, Irina clearly knew that she wanted to become an actress. She even secretly read monologues from her parents, preparing for the entrance exam. But, despite the fact that love and mutual understanding reigned in the family, the parents were still against it. They planned a completely different future for their daughter, with a solid education and a serious career.
The girl did not argue with her parents. In 1987 she entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Philosophy. All five years of the university she was an excellent student and in 1992 she received a red diploma. But he was more likely to reassure his parents. In fact, boring philosophical treatises and office work were of little interest to her. In parallel with her studies at the university, the girl attended various song and poetry competitions, studied in a theater group and worked as a radio host, and sang in local clubs in the evenings.
It was especially difficult in the early 90s. Unemployment and total lack of money did not bypass the teachers of philosophy (and Irina was just one of them). It was during these years that the girl was kept afloat by her musical talent. Even Bogushevskaya's parents were convinced that the "comic" profession of the singer is much more in demand for the "right" ones and can generate income even at such a time.
The beginning of a musical career
Concerts and frequent performances in the life of Irina Bogushevskaya began with the student bench. Even then, the girl was known in Moscow as a talented singer with an extraordinary manner of performance. But for the girl herself, everything seemed rather chaotic. There was no persistence. She sang solo, as well as in the compositions of various well-known groups at that time. Her university friends A. Kortnev and V. Pelsh, and part-time founders and frontmen of the "Accident" group, often invited her to work together. But the guys not only sang. They played in performances, wrote musical accompaniment to them. Their theatrical performances were so popular that the troupe toured throughout the Union.
In 1993 Bogushevskaya won the song contest named after. A. Mironova. New creative horizons opened up before the girl. But an accident changes the course of the singer's life story. In the same year, a terrible car accident occurs with the participation of Irina. It took her two long years to restore not only her voice, but her health in general.

Those present, as well as viewers, liked the songs and the manner of performance so much that the artist was asked to perform in several more programs. Television has done its job - fans of Irina Bogushevskaya's work have increased significantly. Plus, new and necessary acquaintances were made.
