Childhood and youth of Soso Pavliashvili
Soso Pavliashvili was born on the territory of Georgia, in Tbilisi. He was brought up partly by creative people. For example, his father was a famous architect.
Mom loved to sing, but decided to devote herself to her family. It is customary in Georgian families that a woman should be responsible for the well-being of her home, so the mother gave herself to this path.
Soso's love for music began at an early age. The boy could not yet read, count and write, but he had already asked his parents to buy him a musical instrument.
The parents were sympathetic to the request of the child, so at the age of five, Soso became a student of the music school. The boy began to learn the violin.
Little Pavliashvili independently chose the instrument on which he would like to learn how to play. Hard work and the desire to learn to play the violin quickly bore fruit.
Soon Soso began performing at regional republican competitions and festivals.
