To the top of the musical Olympus. The secret of success largely lies in the unique voice of soloist Alexander Shoua. The artist submits to many instruments in the arsenal of musicians - a man can play the guitar, drums, piano, keys. The talent is multifaceted: Shaw is also the author of the music and lyrics of the lion's share of the singles that come from his lips.
Childhood and youth
Sasha was born in the Abkhazian town of Ochamchira into a musical family. My father was excellent at playing the drums and guitar, my uncle sang well and was also a virtuoso with many musical instruments. From the age of four, the boy was attracted like a magnet by a piano standing in his parents' house.
And at the age of 9, Alexander was already shining with his peers in the local Anban children's ensemble. The teachers of the group taught the wards to professionally play the guitar and drums.
A little later, to gain new knowledge, Sasha went to the Sukhum school, enrolling in the pop department. But plans and life at home were destroyed by the outbreak of a military conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia. Parents decided to move to the Russian capital, where they had to start life from the beginning. The financial situation of the family left much to be desired, Alexander also had to earn a living. The young man changed a lot of professions, even worked as a loader in a store.
Music
In the biography of Show, positive changes began after meeting the musician from the Aramis group. The team invited the talented Alexander to join their ranks, where he tried his hand as a keyboardist, arranger and backing vocalist. Earnings have increased significantly, allowing relatives to no longer need anything.
Song by Arthur Best and Alexander Shoua "I'll steal her"Once, during a noisy youth party, Sasha was met by a representative of one of the leading recording companies in Europe, PolyGram. The musician received a tempting offer - to move to Cologne. Shaw agreed and in the coming years he "turned on" the people in a nightclub, and also performed his own songs at the Globus concert venue. It quickly became popular here and won the love of the regulars of these establishments.
However, the role of a club performer did not suit the talented musician; over time, this occupation outgrew, I already wanted more. Alexander decided to return to Moscow to create his own project. With a future colleague in a musical project, the paths crossed back in 1999. And in 2002, after leaving Germany, Shoua found a girl and offered to make the Nepara pop duet together.
The name was born painfully: they went through a lot of options - they quarreled, put up, swore again. The idea was thrown by the producer Oleg Nekrasov. The man casually threw that the guys were a little like a duet, "not a couple at all."
Alexander took care of creating music and lyrics, and a year later the guys presented their debut album, Another Family. The group instantly became famous, the duet was expected in every corner of Russia, and was invited abroad. Alexander and Victoria plunged into a rich touring life.
The song "God invented you" duet "Nepara"The following records "All over again" and "Doomed / Betrothed", released in 2006 and 2009, also relished the army of fans. The singles “Another reason”, “Cry and look”, “They have known each other for a long time” turned into hits immediately after the premiere.
After the release of the last album, Nepara still lasted three years. Ambitious and hardworking (according to the zodiac sign Capricorn) Alexander Shoua dreamed of a solo career, so he boldly set off on a solo voyage. The singer created a beautiful composition "The Sun Above My Head", which managed to get to the top of the radio charts. He also shot colorful clips, the videos were invariably included in the selection of music TV shows.
Alexander Shoua's song "Your voice"However, Shoua could not stand it alone for a long time. Already in 2013, the young man met with Victoria and offered to reunite. The singer seemed to be waiting for this moment - she agreed without hesitation. The duet again sparkled on the stages, delighting fans with new songs. The first single was "A Thousand Dreams".
However, Alexander Shoua managed to solo in parallel. Especially warmly, the fans received the song "Remember". And in 2016, the musician presented his debut solo album "Your Voice", on the creation of which he worked during the period of the group's collapse. The disc included 16 songs.

Alexander Shoua is widely known as one of the "Nepara", participation in this duet turned out to be an important milestone, both in the creative biography and in the personal life of the singer and musician. But this is not the first and not the last step in his career.
Alexander was born in the Abkhazian resort town of Ochamchira on December 26, 1973. Adult life began with a move to Moscow, but it was not plans to conquer the capital that brought him here. The family was forced to leave their home due to the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. In the capital, at first, he had to earn a living by no means creative work.
A short but strong 19-year-old guy grabbed any job, for some time he was a loader in a grocery store.
Alexander on stageA fateful meeting with the bass guitarist of the Aramis group soon followed. It turned out that Shoua was “both a Swiss and a reaper, and a player on the pipe” - as part of this group, he acted as a backing vocalist, played keyboards and arranged songs. Thus began his professional musical career, the foundation for which was laid in his childhood.
Childhood
Perhaps Shoua owes his vocal abilities to his origin, many Abkhazians naturally have sonorous voices. But the environment played an equally important role in the formation of the future singer. Sasha was born and grew up in a musical family, his father played the drums, his uncle played the bass guitar, both sang.

Although he failed to complete his education, his knowledge and skills came in handy during the period of cooperation with the Aramis group and in building a future career.
Career

I had to leave their native places as a result of the military conflict that broke out in Abkhazia and Georgia. The Shaw family went to Moscow. It was difficult, because everything had to start over. Alexander Shoua had to work in many places, including as a loader in stores. After some time, he met one of the musicians of the Aramis group. From that moment on, his family did not need anything. Sasha perfectly applied his talent and professional musical education.
At one of the parties, Shoua met a representative of the large European studio Polygram. After a short communication, Alexander was invited to Europe and for several years turned on the audience in nightclubs. He became a favorite of visitors, and his songs on the stage of the German concert venue "Globe" delighted pretentious European music lovers.
Life and work in Cologne bored our hero. He no longer "fit" in the role of a club singer, the opportunities demanded more. To fulfill his wish, he returned to Moscow. In 1999, fate gave a meeting with the singer Victoria Talyshinskaya, who has an incredibly beautiful voice. The meeting ended with the creation of a duet that will captivate millions of listeners with unique compositions. The duet instantly became famous. Solemn and festive concerts could not do without the charming couple "Nepara". Tours did not stop, trips around Russia and abroad took all the time.
The next album was released in 2006 and completely repeated the success of the first. The next stage in the growth of popularity was 2009, when the new disc "Betrothed" saw the light of day. Three years later, the duo broke up, no one called the reason. Perhaps friction began between the singers, as is usually the case among creatively gifted individuals. Alexander himself admitted that he could not work in a duet for a long time, the soul requires a solo career. The singer strove for professional growth, wanted to please the audience with his voice and perform his own compositions.
After spending several years on stage alone, Alexander felt that he lacked a partner. In 2013, he decided to reunite with Talyshinskaya, and the duo found a new life. In 2014, the song "A Thousand Dreams" was performed, followed by a video. The group began to acquire a rich repertoire, not only famous composers wrote for it, but Alexander Shoua himself. The time has come for the next step of fame, the tour began. The return of the duet was noted not only by grateful listeners, but also by representatives of show business.
The creative union and its hits were awarded Ru. TV, Fashion People Awards. The poets Gutseriev, musicians Zolotarev, Molochnik worked on the texts of the compositions. Working in tandem with Victoria, Alexander Vyacheslavovich continued his solo career. Soon a disc was released, which has 16 songs by Alexander, and each of them sounds like for the first time, delighting with freshness and incredible play of melodies.
Personal life
For a long time, Alexander Shoua was closely associated with his stage partner Victoria. The yellow press wrote about their relationship, but never presented any evidence, except for their joint work. As if in response, the couple presented the songs “They have known each other for a long time”, “Another reason”, etc.
Only after the collapse of the duet did Victoria make frank confessions. There was a romantic relationship between them, but everything was kept secret. Perhaps because of creative collaboration, the relationship began to deteriorate. It came to serious conflicts, but the duet was obliged to perform on stage as if nothing had happened and express only deep feelings.
So they parted ways. Before meeting with Victoria, Sasha had an official marriage in which her daughter Maya was born. Alexander Shoua met a lawyer named Natalya, the couple registered the union and live happily. Alexander and Natalya tried not to advertise their personal lives, and even after the birth of their daughter, the couple did not show the baby to the public for a long time. Finally, almost a year after her birth, Natalya posted her photo on the social network. It turned out that the girl was named Taisia. Now happy photos of the family and dad and daughter appear on the singer's Instagram much more often.
