Biography

Alexander Lezhnev

Was born in 1988 in the city of Slavyansk, then the Ukrainian SSR, in a family of engineers.

Learning music began around 2001 in his hometown. These were private lessons. The teacher came home and taught the accordion. Some skills of playing the guitar and clarinet were obtained from him. This was followed by admission to the local music school in the piano class.

About a year later there was a move to Kharkov in connection with entering a special music school (HSSMS) in the double bass class. In the same place, I began to take optional composition lessons, and the last 3 years of study changed my specialty to “music theory”. At this time, begins active participation in various concerts, festivals and competitions as a composer. The greatest competitive achievement during the school period is the second place in the Gavrilin International Competition “Я - композитор”, held in 2005 in St. Petersburg.

At one of the festivals, namely “В гостях у Айвазовского” in Feodossiya, I had the honor of meeting the famous Ukrainian composer Miroslav Skorik. He also entered a little later in 2007 at the Lvov National Music Academy of M.Lysenko at the Faculty of Theoretical Composition in the specialty "Composer".

Years of study were marked by composing music in different genres, for different compositions. In terms of sounding contrary to modern trends, this almost always was melodic and tonal music, although sometimes there were discordant elements characteristic of modern academic music, which were rather an ornament, and not the basis.In 2012 he graduated from the Music Academy and moved to Kiev. Immediately began pop musical activity in the Vivienne Mort as a pianist. During the collaboration, Vivienne Mort released several studio albums and singles, toured with solo programs in Ukraine and the neighboring countries, took part in all major festivals in Ukraine. Cooperation continues to the present.
