Vadim Mulerman is a famous pop singer who performed the compositions "Lada" and "A coward does not play hockey", which have become very popular. They turned into real hits, which to this day do not lose their relevance. Vadim received the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR and Honored Artist of Ukraine.
Vadim Mulerman: Childhood and youth
The future performer Vadim was born in 1938 in Kharkov. His parents were Jews. From an early age, the boy was found to have a voice and other inclinations that made it possible to become a talented singer.
After adolescence and transition, Mulerman became the owner of a lyrical and incredible sounding baritone. This led to the fact that the guy entered the Kharkov Conservatory in the vocal department. A little time passed, and he decided to transfer to Leningrad.
Even having gone to the army, he did not leave music, as he served in the ensemble of the military district of Kyiv.
The guy was offered to connect his life with opera, but he was forced to give up his career as an opera singer. Since his father was seriously ill and needed money for his treatment. Variety activities became the only direction for Mulerman. After the army, he was able to enter GITIS, which he successfully completed and received a diploma in the specialty "Director".
Musical career
Becoming a singer happened in 1963. Then Mulerman worked in orchestras under the direction of Leonid Utyosov, Anatoly Kroll and Murad Kazhlaev. However, he did not become popular immediately, and glory had to wait three years. In 1966, the All-Union Competition of Variety Artists took place, where the guy sang the song "The Lame King". At this competition, the main rival for Mulerman was Iosif Kobzon.
Many of the songs turned into real hits. He decided to give one of the legendary songs “These Eyes Opposite” to Valery Obodzinsky.
The singer's concert program also included Jewish songs, such as "Tum-Balalaika". However, in 1971, his Jewishness played a negative role. Therefore, Mulerman was no longer invited to television and radio. This was due to the fact that the head of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company forbade showing the work of Jewish artists. He cited bad relations with Israel as the main reason.
The return of the artist Vadim Mulerman
However, Vadim Mulerman did not give up and was able to return to creativity after a while, starting to give concerts. However, he was still not invited to television and radio. This went on for 20 years. In 1991, the performer was forced to emigrate to the United States.
But after the move, he did not forget about his relatives. For example, he took his sick brother to America and paid for his expensive treatment. There was money, because at that time Vadim worked not only as a singer, but also as a taxi driver. He was also one of the employees of the social center.
True, the treatment did not work, and a few years later his brother died. However, this did not force the singer to return to his homeland. He stayed in the USA, developed the talents of gifted children, even created a special center in Florida.
For the first time after emigrating to Russia, Vadim arrived only in 1996 for a solo concert. He celebrated his 60th birthday in New York, where he also gave a solo concert. And in 2000, he and pop artists took part in the international festival "Stars of Our Century".
In 2004, Mulerman moved to Kharkov, where he was offered a job in the local administration. He agreed and began to actively develop the cultural direction. Thanks to this, a theater was opened in the city. In addition, the artist did not refuse touring activities, and also released a disc with 23 songs.
