Until a certain point, he didn’t even think about a career as a musician. He devoted a lot of time to martial arts and dreamed of a career as a professional athlete. But soon his life became much brighter. He became acquainted with the musical genre "rock". The parents gave their son a tape recorder. He began to earn the respect of tracks by legendary foreign bands Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Then he developed a desire to learn to play the guitar. He inherited the musical instrument from his older brother, who had just gone off to the army. After receiving his high school diploma, Ivanov Jr. also went into the army. Surprisingly, he paid his debt to his homeland on German territory. Here he founded his first musical group. The band members played rock skillfully. In the tank forces he was also fortunate enough to meet Nikolai Safonov. Later, the guys would create the legendary group "Rondo". In the meantime, the guys served in the army and regularly performed at celebrations. Even then, Alexander Ivanov realized that he wanted to dedicate his life to music.

In his new team, he picked up the microphone. The singer then changed several more rock bands before he managed to find a comfortable place. In the mid-80s, Ivanov created a new project. His brainchild was named "Crater". The newly formed group also included Sasha Ryzhov and Firsov. At first, the guys were content with performing at group concert events. In addition, "Krater" toured the Soviet Union. Soon the guys took part in the World Youth Festival. After this, the singer announced to the musicians that he intended to leave the group. He joined the rock group "Monitor". At this time, the members of the presented group gathered entire stadiums of fans. Ivanov was confident that by joining the Monitor team he would gain popularity. The busy touring schedule provided Alexander with a good foundation, which was useful for the development of his future career.

Along with Alexander, another member, Evgeny Rubanov, joined the team.

In 1987, a small revolution took place in the group. The fact is that Alexander Ivanov remained dissatisfied with the work of the Rondo organizer throughout the entire period. That's why he suggests that the musicians separate from the frontman. At the same time, the musicians continued to perform under the old sign. Mikhail Litvin (the organizer of "Rondo"), after the antics of his protégés, decided to assemble new musicians into the group. Unfortunately, he was unable to achieve his former glory, and at the end of the 80s he emigrated abroad.
