Slava Marlow (the real name of the artist is Vyacheslav Marlov) is one of the most popular and outrageous beatmaker singers in Russia and the post-Soviet countries. The young star is known not only as a performer, but also as a talented composer, sound engineer and producer. Also, many know him as a creative and "advanced" blogger.
Childhood and youth of the star Slava Marlow
Slava Marlov was born on October 27, 1999. And it’s not even strange that according to the sign of the zodiac, he is Scorpio. Despite the complex nature, such people are very hardworking and creative. Since my parents loved music, a variety of tunes always sounded in the house - from reggae to classics.
Growing up in such an environment, the boy listened from early childhood, chose his favorite styles and directions, sang different motives and from his school years became a real music lover. Mom, seeing how much her son is fond of music, immediately enrolled the child in a music school. Here Marlow learned to play the saxophone and piano.
Slava's family did not differ in significant financial condition, and the teenager dreamed of a normal computer for a long time. It is impossible to write modern high-quality music without good technique, and the young musician made a compromise. He agreed with his parents that they would buy him an expensive computer, and he promised to finish school without bad grades.
The guy kept his promise and as a result received a long-awaited gift. Now the path to creating music, new goals and opportunities was open. And Marlow plunged into this exciting process with his head.
Student life of the artist Slava Marlow
When graduating from school, the future artist planned to enter a university in his hometown, but it’s good that the plans did not materialize. No one knows if Slava's musical career would have developed if he had not ended up in St. Petersburg.
And everything happened corny - the best friend persuaded the young man to enter St. Petersburg. And within a few months, the young man began to study screen art at St. Petersburg University, planning to eventually become a film and television producer. The guy studied not so that he had a diploma or “for show”. He was interested in this sector of show business. And thanks to the educational process, Slava wanted to get even more useful information.
So it cannot be said that Marlow did nothing during his student years. This period became a solid foundation for subsequent creative activity.
First successes in the world of music
2016 was a landmark year for Slava Marlowe. He created his own YouTube channel and posted his first videos there - “Donat”, and then “King of Snapchat”. After some time, the first album, Our Day of Acquaintance, was released. But this was only the beginning of the journey. At the university, he successfully performed in St. Petersburg as part of the Malchugeng group.
He wrote songs and music for his team, often working in tandem with Nikita Kadnikov. But the guy wanted precisely his fame, and not as a member of the group. And he decided - in 2019, the debut solo album Opening was released under the creative pseudonym Manny.
Collaboration with Alisher Morgenstern
This artist played an important role in the life and creative work of Slava Marlow. Thanks to the release of the album Morgenstern "Legendary Dust", for which Slava recorded beats and came up with lyrics, the artist's life changed.
Together with the glory of Morgenstern, Slava Marlow himself rose to his starry Olympus. Songs from the album took the lead in viewing on social networks. Now, in parallel with his solo career and other projects, Marlow does not stop working with Morgenstern.
But today Slava already feels like a full-fledged unit of the show business world, having its own target audience, millions of "fans", mega-popularity and financial independence. Despite their young age, stars of the first magnitude dream of working with the artist.
Slava Marlow's work today
A year ago, an artist from St. Petersburg decided to move to Moscow. During the first months of activity in the capital, where there were many stars even without him, Marlow managed to earn more than 1 million just for beat-making courses. And in a year, the young man created his own production school, where popular modern stars often act as lecturers.
The artist's innovation breaks records on the YouTube channel. He was the first to use the "chip" - to post not the finished video of the new clip, but the process of its creation. As it turned out, fans of his work really like it, and the videos instantly gain millions of views.
The star has her own approach to music and production, and it is very different from the standard techniques and methods. As the musician himself says, do not be afraid to experiment and try something new that goes beyond formats and beliefs. This is the success of any business, not just music.
In the latest works of the musician, the voice (vocal) was in the background, making it as quiet as possible. And the sound of beats, on the contrary, increased. It turned out original and immediately liked the listener.
How Slava Marlow lives
Everyone has a stereotype that modern rappers and beatmakers must be brutal, a little rude and outrageous. But none of these descriptions fit Glory. Despite his popularity, in life he is very calm, well-mannered and shy.
Huge earnings do not spoil this person, he does not like pathos. In public, he prefers to bring his talent not by word, but by deed. On the show with Ivan Urgant, he talked a little, behaved bewildered. But live composed a song.
The star prefers to remain silent about her personal life, believing that happiness loves silence. He appears in public on his own. And even the Instagram page does not provide additional information about the second half, there is only a creative theme.
Now Marlow is working on joint projects with Timati, Eldzhey and Morgenstern, planning to continue to delight and surprise his fans with new works in the future.
