Sasha Chest is a Russian singer and songwriter. Alexander began his musical activity with competitions in battles. Later, the young man became part of the "For the Regiment" group.
The peak of popularity fell on 2015. This year, the performer became part of the Black Star label, and in the spring of 2017 he signed a contract with the creative association Gazgolder.
Childhood and youth of Alexander Morozov
Sasha Chest is a creative pseudonym under which the name of Alexander Morozov is hidden. The young man was born on July 19, 1987 in the provincial town of Kedrovy, which is located in the Tomsk region.
Since childhood, Sasha was fond of music and was constantly in search of himself. The young man was imbued with rap culture, realizing that this is exactly what he needs. During his school years, Morozov began to write songs and lyrics for them.
Alexander was a frequent guest of local rap battles, where the participants competed in who could read the text that was invented “on the go” better. In his teenage years in the town of Kedrovy Morozov was already a fairly well-known personality.
At the same time, Roman Kozlov, who performed under the pseudonym Capella, drew attention to the young Morozov. Roman was a soloist of the "For the Regiment" band.
Kozlov offered Sasha a place "under the sun". So for Sasha Chest the door to the wonderful world of music and rap culture was opened. The rappers quickly found a common language and were on the same wavelength. Sasha had a lot of accumulated material, which, in fact, was included in the debut album “Forever.
The music video clips of the Za Polk group were played on local TV channels in the Tomsk region.
In the winter of 2009, Sasha Chest became the winner of the 14th Independent Battle. In this battle, he "made" the then little-known rapper Oxxxymiron. It was a success that only increased Chest's popularity.
Creative career and music of Sasha Chest
As part of the Za Polk group, Sasha Chest took part in the recording of the debut album and several video clips. The band has become a local favorite. In the Tomsk region, the work of the guys was admired.
Alexander Morozov was cramped in his city. He understood that there were no prospects here. In 2010, he made an important decision - Chest left the "stuffy" provincial town and moved to Moscow.
Capital life has benefited Sasha. Here he realized all his creative plans - he participated in battles, wrote songs and music for them. Soon, the rest of the members of the Za Polk group also moved to the capital.
The boys have joined forces again. But soon the team broke up. Views on music and the further development of the group differed for each member. From that moment on, Sasha Chest began his solo career.
In 2015, Sasha met the talented and popular rapper Timati. Timur liked Chest's charisma and the way the tracks were presented, so he invited him to join the Black Star label.
Alexander did not ponder Timati's proposal for a long time, giving a positive answer. Since 2015, Chest began to actively replenish his discography with solo albums, shoot video clips and tour the Russian Federation.
In the same 2015, the rapper presented the track "Seven Words". Later, a video clip was shot for the song, which gained a record number of views. In 2016, fans were in for a surprise from Sasha, Timati, Scrooge and Mot in the form of the musical composition "Into the Chips".
Sasha Chest, during his collaboration with the Russian label Black Star, managed to perform in a duet with Kristina Si and rapper L'One - these are some of the rapper's most striking performances.
Already in 2016, Chest left the Timati label. The real reasons remained behind the scenes. Many said that Sasha is an unprofitable performer, since his repertoire cannot be called rich.
The singer met 2016 like a free bird. Many prophesied "death" for him, as a singer. But despite the negative, Chest gathered his strength and presented a collection of tracks. The performer Mezza helped him work on the record.
In 2017, on his Instagram page, Sasha Chest announced that from now on he is collaborating with Vasily Vakulenko (Basta)'s label Gazgolder.
The debut track presented by the rapper pleased the ears of music lovers. We are talking about the composition "Cold", which Chest recorded together with Era Cannes.
In the summer, the singer could be seen at the #Gazgolder LIVE music festival. A few months later, Chest spoke about what he was preparing for a new album for fans.
The presentation of the album was not long in coming. And the musical composition "House" was so pleased with its melody and lightness that music lovers had only one desire - to listen to the entire collection of tracks.
The video clip is fully consistent with the content of the musical composition - the shooting took place in Sakhalin, the audience could enjoy the picturesque places. In addition, Chest managed to record several songs with Anna Dvoretskaya, a participant in the Voice of the Streets show.
Like any artist and public figure, Sasha Chest has fans and detractors. Haters often pour dirt on Chest - they "lower" the work of a young man, saying that the "provincial" and his tracks are of no interest to anyone.
Alexander tries not to respond to insults. But if the haters go too far, he blocks the pages of his ill-wishers.
Personal life of Sasha Chest
Alexander is well known to many, and that is why, in his opinion, you should not open your personal life. Over the years of his popularity, the young man has never named the name of his beloved.
Chest is registered in almost all social networks, and the most interesting thing is that he shares only working moments there. Journalists know only that Chest has no wife and children.
Since the “year of glory” (since 2015), Chest has noticeably matured. The young man is in excellent physical shape. And by the way, the rapper says that for a good figure, you don’t need a gym, but constant rehearsals and performances on stage.
Sasha Chest today

In 2019, Chest took part in the Songs 2 Season program, which was broadcast on the Russian TV channel TNT. Alexander got into the Basta team.
In 2019, the rapper presented the musical composition "Dead" to fans of his work. Chest is still a frequent guest of battles, where he "smashes" rivals with a powerful rhyme.
