Today he is a successful musician and songwriter. In addition, he already has the title of Honored Artist of Russia. The artist often received awards for his work. Everyone knows this singer, especially the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity.
How were your childhood days?
Stas's father is Vladimir, and his mother has a gentle and melodic name - Lyudmila. My father worked as a helicopter pilot while my mother worked as a nurse.
The guy had more than one son in the family, he also had a brother who was born in 1962. My brother's name was Valery. The Stas family did not live prosperously, but they did not live in poverty either. At first, the family lived in an apartment, but later decided to move to a private house.
Everyone spoke well of Stas. He is said to have been a bit chubby but very kind as a child. When he was little, he often ran to meet his mother from work. He did not have a soul in her. When Stas went to the 5th grade, he wanted to go on a diet. But willpower did not give him the opportunity to lose weight in this way.
Therefore, the teenager decided to go in for sports. He played various sports, but he did not like any of them. The only thing he liked was tennis. The guy loved doing it. After graduating from school, Stas earned a second adult category. From this achievement he was very happy.
How did Stas Mikhailov “look for himself”?
Stas was heard about as a musician in his hometown of Sochi. He first performed when he was 15 years old. He decided to take part in a song contest. Then he managed to take 2nd place.
The guy was very happy about it. Then Stas performed in ensembles. When Stas graduated from school, he entered a school in Minsk, which specialized in civil aviation.
The boy wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. But soon Mikhailov realized that this was not his profession, and he headed back home.
At this time, Stas had not yet thought about becoming a famous singer. The guy needed money, and he got a job as a loader. The work seemed shameful to him. Every day, many of his acquaintances saw him pulling a huge cart. And Mikhailov was very shy. When the working day ended, the guy with his tool went to bars and restaurants for a nightly income.
Soon the guy went to serve in the army. Then Stas already had a driver's license, and he was the commander's chauffeur in the army. When Mikhailov returned from the army, he decided to make money on slot machines.
Stas was lucky, he managed to live very richly. The guy managed to live comfortably in his favorite sunny city. Although Stas played a lot, he did not manage to become a gambler. After all, life has turned everything upside down.
The first tragedy of Stas Mikhailov
Stas loved his brother very much. And his brother Valery always supported the guy. The brother never left Stas in fights, and he also taught the guy to play the guitar. Brother Valery also became a helicopter pilot, like his father. One unfortunate day, the brother crashed. Mikhailov was very worried. Soon he dedicated several songs to his beloved brother, among which were the songs "Helicopter" and "Brother".
Brother Valery died when Stas was 20 years old. When he was told that the helicopter with his brother had exploded, he did not believe it. When the rescuers began searching, Stas did not stand aside, and also helped to search for the body of his brother. Unfortunately, in what was left after the explosion, it was impossible to recognize the brother. In addition, the rescuers and the expert did not establish why the helicopter exploded.
When brother Valery was buried in a closed coffin, Stas could not believe that this was really happening. After all, how will he now live without his friend, protector and mentor.
Stas Mikhailov: career
After the death of his brother, Stas has changed a lot in life. He thought a lot about the meaning of his existence and eventually decided to enter the Tambov Institute of Culture. But the guy never finished it.
Young Mikhailov returned back to his hometown and tried to become popular in restaurants. Also at this time, Stas decided to try his hand at commerce, while working in a recording studio.
When the guy turned 23, he decided to leave for Moscow to conquer this huge city. It was in 1992 that the young and ambitious Stas wrote the first song "Candle".
He was accepted to work at the Moscow Variety Theatre. At 28, Stas managed to work and write songs that no one needed then. Sometimes the guy participated in concerts, competitions and festivals. In 1994, Mikhailov managed to win the audience award at the Star Storm festival.
When Mikhailov was 28 years old, he left Moscow and moved to St. Petersburg. He dreamed of finishing work on the first album "Candle". At this time, Stas shot a video for one of his songs. The artist thought that his album would make a splash, but he was not noticed.
The second attempt by Stas Mikhailov
After such a failure, the guy returned to Sochi again. After living a little time in his hometown, the guy again decided to conquer the capital of Russia. And this time, Stas succeeded.
When he once again performed in a small restaurant, Vladimir Melnik noticed him. This man was a businessman, he offered the artist a successful cooperation. Of course, young Mikhailov could not refuse such a tempting offer.
When Stas Mikhailov turned 35, he became very popular. This happened after the song "Without You" was released on the radio. In 2004, the man recorded the third album, Call Signs for Love. And this time he was also successful. After that, the singer shot videos for compositions and actively performed at concerts and festivals.
At the age of 37, Mikhailov was already able to assemble a full hall in the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall. It was this hall that was the largest in St. Petersburg. Already in 2006, Mikhailov had a large army of "fans". The man managed to win such trust of fans with a simple and understandable theme of songs, charisma, light romance. It was all this in every song of the artist.
Mikhailov was very glad that he managed to conquer everyone. Now he was not going to stop and released new albums almost every year. According to the artist, all his songs are a piece of the soul and life experience.
Stas Mikhailov: the subtleties of personal life
Mikhailov had three wives. With his last wife, namely Inna Ponomareva, the artist met when he was 37 years old. His wife was also engaged in creativity and was the soloist of the famous New Gems group.
Talking about his wife, Mikhailov says that he practically “did not run after her”, but everything turned out by itself. It was just that there was sympathy between the couple, which led to the fact that they got married. When the future spouses first met, Stas Mikhailov was still not very popular. Inna, on the contrary, was wealthy, she even lived in England for some time.
Five years after they met, Stas and Inna legalized their relationship. A man arranged the perfect holiday for his beloved. The guests were only relatives and friends. The couple were raising six children. Interestingly, of these six, only two are in common.
With his first wife (Irina), Stas even got married in the church. But, unfortunately, their relationship ended. Irina could not stand that there were a lot of fans around Stas. In the name of parting with his first wife, Mikhailov dedicated a song to her.
The second wife was civil, her name was Natalya Zotova. Relations with this woman did not last long. When she became pregnant, the artist left her, did not even give money.
Today Mikhailov does not see his life without traveling. The charismatic man was almost everywhere. He loves to visit his friends who live in Montenegro and Italy. The artist says that he does not know how to use gadgets and computers.
Our days as a famous artist
Today, the singer is also working and building his career. He gives concerts and tours around the world. We are happy to see him everywhere. Women especially appreciate his work for its romanticism.
Stas's fees are very large. For life, a man has absolutely everything. He can afford to buy both a yacht and a plane. Despite the fact that at first his solo career did not work out, the artist nevertheless managed to achieve what he so badly wanted.
In 2013, the comedy "Understudy" was released, in which Alexander Revva made a parody of the singer. In this funny and entertaining film, the main character was Mikhail Stasov.
The artist, of course, was very indignant and went to court. Four years later, journalists said that Mikhailov even applied to the European Court. But the artist said that these were just rumors, because they had already settled this conflict three years ago.
