Childhood and youth of Alexei Zavgorodny
He was born in the very heart of Ukraine - the city of Kyiv, in 1989. It is known that he has a twin sister, whose name is Lisa. The girl was born 10 minutes earlier than Lesha himself. Zavgorodny still maintains a warm family relationship with his sister.
Alexey was born in a creative family, so it is not surprising that from an early age he began to be interested in music. It is known that his grandfather led the national academic choir named after Georgy Verevka. Mom used to dance in ballet, and dad was the director there. The atmosphere that prevailed in the Zagorodny's house had a positive impact on the development of both Lyosha and his sister Elizabeth.
Lyosha's mother wanted her son to do choreography. He did not upset his mother, but at the same time asked to enroll him in vocal and acting lessons. The positive managed to study well at school, and after classes at the educational institution, he hurried to circles.
Soon Zavgorodniy entered the prestigious Kyiv Children's Academy of Arts. Alexey loved to attend classes. The children were teachers and teachers, and even the kids were allowed to play on the stage with the students.
After leaving school, Lyosha went to the UK. There he studied at business colleges. Zavgorodny also wanted to get an acting education, but after a little thought, he decided to implement his plan already in Kyiv. Upon arrival home, he graduated from the Faculty of Management of the University of Culture and Arts.

Lyosha was brought up on the right music. Parents allowed their children to use a tape recorder, so the music of the legendary Michael Jackson. Interestingly, the positive even collected his records.
The idols of his youth were: Alisha keyes и Justin Timberlake. He "overwritten" the records of the stars to holes, and constantly followed the news in their creative biography.
Soon Positive "put together" his first rap duet. Seeing a performance on TV Potapa with colleagues, Lyosha wanted to become like him and join the crowd of popular celebrities. Actually, during this period of time, he took a creative pseudonym for himself, which millions of music lovers know today. Then the team included Yugo and File.
Beginning performers record a track and send it to Potap. He listened to the composition, expressing the opinion that it was "damp". Nevertheless, the rapper gave the guys a recording studio so that they could record their debut LP. From this moment, the professional activity of the Positive begins.
Potap's new project, which included Positive, was called NewZCool. The first performance of the team took place in 2005 at the Black Sea Games.
After that, the musicians came to grips with writing their debut LP. In 2006, the group's discography was opened by the album School, Bones, Rap. Alexey is still sure that he would not have been able to achieve such popularity if Potapenko had not taken up the promotion.
Popularity of the artist Positive
The peak of popularity came almost immediately after the release of the soundtrack "After". Around the same period of time, the group, together with the singers from the Queen$ group Newzcool, released the top track “Lake of Tears”.
At the time of the creation of the Potap and Nastya duet, Positive took the place of the backing vocalist. Together with the team, he traveled to every corner of Ukraine, the Russian Federation and the United States of America. The work done gave him invaluable experience. He was great on stage.
2010 opened a completely different page for Lesha in his creative biography. It was then that he became part of the duo "Time is up". The idea of creating a Ukrainian team belongs to Potap and Irina Gorova. The producer admitted that the idea to create a duet suddenly appeared at the airport and they, together with Gorova, decided to develop it further.
Potapenko immediately realized that in the Vremya i Steklo group, he wants to see a duet of a guy and a pretty girl. The company Positive was charming Nadezhda Dorofeeva. The musicians looked great together.
The duet almost immediately managed to show that they would steer on the Ukrainian stage. Those compositions that the guys released became a real top. "Time and Glass" was adored not only by the Ukrainian, but also by the Russian public.
Positive: New tracks and projects
In 2011, the presentation of the composition “So the card fell out” took place, which enveloped the duet in the close attention of fans and music critics. In addition, no less popular compositions of the group sounded on all radio stations - “Love Point No”, “Silver Sea”, “Tile”.
A couple of years later, Lyosha joined Potap, Fedorov, Kameneev, Storozhik and Bezkrovny. Positive became part of a new project BRAINS. Now Alexei's fans also followed the work of the new group.
The group's repertoire did not stop. The guys constantly pleased the fans with the release of bright tracks. For example, in 2016, the presentation of the video clip “Probably because” took place. It is noteworthy that in a month the work gained more than 6 million views on a major YouTube video hottie.
In 2017, "Time and Glass" released another song that became a hit. We are talking about the track "Name 505". Interestingly, this is one of the duo's most viewed clips.
The duet's concerts were held on a grand scale. It is interesting that many children were present at the performance of the group. Lyosha is very happy that the group's work is of interest to the younger generation, and hints that the compositions "Time and Glass" carry a good beginning.
In 2019, Pozitiv and Nadezhda Dorofeeva presented a new VISLOVO program to fans. Then it became known that the team really ran out of time. "Time and Glass" put an end to the group's creative biography.
Details of the artist's personal life Positive
When Positive began to sing in a duet with Dorofeeva, the journalists immediately attributed the novel to their colleagues. Lesha commented on this situation:
“As a rule, when a guy and a girl work in a team, they are immediately credited with a novel. It's normal that fans want to see more than a working relationship between co-stars."
The gossip was dispelled when it became known to journalists that Dorofeeva was married to Vladimir Gudkov, and Alexei was married. The positive added fuel to the fire, saying that if feelings arise between him and Dorofeeva, then marriages are not an obstacle to relationships.
The singer's wife's name is Anna Andriychuk. Young people met back in 2006. Then the singer was just a member of the New'Z'cool team. Then Anna was in a relationship with another guy, so Lyosha stepped aside and did not get into a relationship.
The relationship between Positive and Anna began a little later. Despite all the swagger of the artist on stage, in family life he leads the most modestly. By the way, it was this shyness that prevented Pozitiv from confessing his love to a girl, so he did it just on a postcard.
Wedding and “romance on the side”
Soon the couple got married. This solemn event took place in 2013. Interestingly, for the sake of the wedding, Alexei even shaved his mustache. The positive said that Anna primarily appreciates him for his human qualities, and not his status.
As Anya admitted, she was very worried that an affair might arise between her husband and Nadezhda Dorofeeva. She controlled Lyosha and kept his partner at arm's length. The situation worsened after Potap had an affair with Kamensky behind his wife's back. Positive dispelled all the fears of the wife. Interestingly, Dorofeeva and Anna began to communicate well.
The family dreams of children and a big house. The positive said that he had already reached the material level in which he could afford a large family. The only thing I wanted a little more was free time. Such a positive attitude of the artist could not work out with information about the divorce of a married couple.
Anna and Lyosha divorced in 2020. Perhaps the couple broke up due to the fact that Positive began to devote a lot of time to a certain Anastasia Nikiforova.
Music is not Alexei's only love. The guy loves sports and tries to lead a healthy lifestyle. He is registered in almost all social networks and it is there that the latest news from the creative and personal life of the artist appears.
Alexey Zavgorodniy at the present time
In 2020, Pozitiv's discography included 10 studio albums. Fans of the singer's work were waiting for the next LP, but suddenly they found out that "Time and Glass" had broken up.
Nadezhda Dorofeeva and Positive assured that the team did not break up because of conflicts. She and Nadezhda are on excellent friendly terms. "End Credits" is the duo's final performance. It took place in September 2020.
In the same year, it became known that Alexei became a member of the Dancing with the Stars show on the 1 + 1 channel. The musician was paired with the talented Yulia Sakhnevich.
