The boy’s family was very ordinary, like many Soviet families, for example, his father, Sergei Panayotov, worked all his life as a builder, and his beloved mother, Irina Panayotova, was a cook who worked in the public catering system.

Sister - Ekaterina Panayotova - was born in 1980, she was an active and musical girl, the baby studied piano, so the instrument was passed on to her younger brother. The girl adored Soviet and Russian pop performers and tried to imitate Natasha Koroleva.

Panayotov constantly calls his sister, but does not want to live next to her, considering that he is the most beloved person when he is at a respectful distance.

Little Sasha sang everywhere: on the street, in kindergarten and on the playground; his parents took these songs for granted. However, strangers advised sending the baby to a music school and teaching him to sing professionally. At the age of ten, the boy took an entrance exam in vocals and sang a Mariah Carey song much better than the original, which amazed all the members of the commission.

At the age of nine, Sasha performed with school scene with the hit of that time “Beautiful is Far Away,” which caused great delight among schoolchildren and teachers, but the music teacher pointedly gave him a B in her subject. The guy was composing own songs and tried to create music group for which I purchased musical instruments, collecting scrap metal and waste paper.

Panayotov participated in music competitions " Morning star", "Become a Star", "Zorepad", "Voice", receiving first prizes and the patronage of Bogdan Stupka and Grigory Leps himself. Mom did not want to let her son go into the music field; she believed that he would earn much more at the factory.

Personal life of Alexander Panayotov

The personal life of Alexander Panayotov is not considered on the Internet, because the guy tries to keep it in the strictest confidence. Few of the guy’s fans believe that a charismatic, handsome and talented young man does not have a girlfriend; most likely, he changes them like gloves.

Sasha experienced love for the first time back in kindergarten when during quiet time he sang songs to her. A year later, the pretty little girl was transferred to senior group, and Panayotov felt the bitterness of loss for the first time.

At school, the guy was also not deprived of the attention of the girls who ran after him with junior classes, but his first kiss was given to him by a classmate in the ninth grade. Sasha was a comedian, he sang beautifully, so he was real soul company and was constantly surrounded beautiful girls, but not a single one promised a serious relationship.

Sister Panayotova provided a lot of interesting data in her interview; she said that the guy was always the center of women’s attention. There was talk about Alexander's affair with his PR director Katya Koreneva, who lived in the same hotel room on tour, went to parties and visited Sasha's relatives.
Then data appeared that young people have friendly and rather brotherly-sisterly relationships. After that they started talking about love affair Panayotova with one of the soloists of the Assorted group. At the same time specific name is not named, so this information may well turn out to be an ordinary fake.

The guy did not comment on these rumors, but said that he was incredibly far from a monogamous relationship and legal marriage. By the way, photographs constantly appear on the Internet where Panayotov hugs and kisses unknown girls, we hasten to say that these beauties are fans from his official fan club or ordinary passers-by, rushing to take a photo with the star or get her autograph.

Family of Alexander Panayotov

The family of Alexander Panayotov is his most terrible secret, since a young man talks about loved ones differently every time. One of the legends about the origin of the young and ambitious singer is that his father was rich and famous person, who has weight in the field of show business, who helped his son break into this field.
There is a lot of interesting information about the guy’s nationality, because according to official data he is Ukrainian, but this is not so. There is evidence that there were Greeks in his family, so the surname sounds like Panayot or Panagiot and means saint or most holy.

There is also evidence that the ancestors of the young singer were Bulgarians, representatives eastern peoples or even Jews. By the way, in the UK, Alexander has a rather musical and famous relative, George Michael, since his real name is Georgis Kyriakos Panayiotou, and he has Jewish roots.

The guy, of course, is very intelligent and incredibly well-mannered, but this is the merit of his parents, who, in fact, are simple workers. Apart from his parents and immediate relatives, Panayotov has no one in his family, although perhaps a wife and children will soon appear in it.

Children of Alexander Panayotov

The children of Alexander Panayotov are also completely absent, because there is no beloved and only girl who is ready to give them to them. Alexander, by the way, constantly claims in interviews that he is too young to have children.

Panayotov actively tours and makes a career in show business, because he believes that children should grow up in a family where they are loved and can be provided with everything they need. To do this, dad and mom simply have to achieve something in life so that their children can look up to them and be proud of them, and also try to achieve the same heights and even more.

Wife of Alexander Panayotov

The wife of Alexander Panayotov either does not exist at all, or she is carefully hidden. By at least, information constantly appears on the Internet that a guy is getting married or living in a civil marriage with some beauty from the world of show business.

At the same time, Panayotov declares with full responsibility that he is not yet married, his heart is open to new relationships. That's just time to build love relationship The guy doesn’t have enough at all, because his busy work schedule doesn’t allow it.

The most interesting thing is that evil tongues began to talk about unconventional sexual orientation young man. Panayotov just laughs at these rumors and boasts that he had a lot of girls, but he doesn’t name names for ethical reasons.

Childhood and youth

The future golden voice was born on July 1, 1984 in the city of Zaporozhye, Ukraine. Alexander liked to sing since childhood, and his desire was noticed by his parents - at the age of 10, Sasha began attending music school No. 2 in the city of Zaporozhye, taking a piano class with a jazz bias. His first vocal teacher was an honored cultural worker, a teacher at a youth vocal studio. popular music“Youth”, Vladimir Artemyev. At the introductory audition, Sasha performed the then very popular, soulful composition of Mariah Carey “Without you” and amazed everyone present with the power of his voice and talent.

First public speaking Panayotov took place on June 1, 1997 in the central city square of Zaporozhye, on big concert, dedicated to the Day child protection. Despite the excitement, Alexander performed brilliantly, surprising the audience with his strong and bright voice. Even then, a great future was predicted for the sweet-voiced guy.

Despite the obvious prerogative direction in his life, in childhood and youth Alexander was torn between studies, musical career(like most young musicians, he dreamed of creating his own group more than he generally thought about the possibility solo career) and forced earnings. Together with his friends, he collected scrap metal and, surprisingly, spent the money very wisely - he purchased simple recording equipment to write his own music and songs.

First steps in a musical career

Alexander’s teachers, and the Young Man himself, understood perfectly well that such talent could not be constrained by the confines of one city, region or country. After a couple of years of active performances at local venues, where Panayotov performed not only covers, but also songs own composition (« Summer rain" and "Ringed Bird"), the future artist has a desire to try his hand at various music competitions. His first appearance at events of this nature was the Zaporozhye “Morning Star”, and then the Zorepad festival in Gulyai-Polye, where Alexander was awarded the Grand Prix and received his first prize.

From that moment on, Panayotov “went beyond the limits” musical life Zaporozhye region, demonstrating their talent first on the scale of Ukraine, then in the neighboring countries. In 2000 he received the bronze prize of the famous “ Slavic Bazaar» in Kyiv. Also the first prize of the Azov Sails, as well as the Grand Prix of the Black Sea Games festival. The jury of the latter included the honored sound engineer Oleg Stupka, who later took Alexander under his wing.

After graduating from secondary and music schools (with honors) Panayotov entered the Kiev State College of Variety and Circus Arts in the department of pop vocals, but did not graduate because he actively participated in various music competitions, was passionate about it and did not attend college much. Realizing that the time has come for decisive action, Alexander decides on perhaps the most important step in his life - he decided to take a risk and try to conquer Moscow. A city of great opportunities, where, given a favorable set of circumstances, one can reveal oneself to the maximum, beckoned the young artist.

The show for which he was selected was called “Become a Star,” which, along with “Star Factory,” became the pioneer of entertaining reality shows in the musical format. Despite the fact that Alexander made it to the top ten finalists, he failed to win the competition and become part of the “Other Rules” team. Perhaps this is for the better, since the “Group” itself, after the release of its debut album, disappeared into the domestic media space.

"People's Artist" - new perspectives

After the end of the competition, Panayotov was forced to return to Kyiv, where he continued his studies at the Kiev National University of Culture and Arts. He also created the group "Alliance", which quickly became a favorite of the Kyiv nightclub audience. But ideas about conquest musical Olympus Alexander did not give up, and a year later he again takes a risky step - he sets out to conquer the public and the jury of the new music competition “People’s Artist”, aired on the Russia channel. It should be noted that the young man was very critical of what his first attempt to conquer Moscow was like. He absolutely did not like the way he looked on the screen and he decided not only to hone his vocal skills, but also to work on appearance. He managed to lose more than 20 kilograms in 4 months, and this despite the fact that he grew up next to an excellent cook - his mother.

At the People's Artist show, Alexander looked completely different

Despite the fact that Alexander was seen as the undisputed favorite of the show, he took second place, and Alexey Goman was on the top step of the podium. But the lack of a high-profile victory on his record did not prevent Panayotov from impressing the show’s producers, Kim Breitburg and Evgeny Fridland. After the show, a seven-year contract was signed with their production center “FBI-Music”, and their further collaboration resulted in two full-length albums: “Lady of the Rain” (2006) and “Formula of Love” (2010). The show itself brought the singer not only respect from the public and popularity, but also the opportunity to sing with pop stars. One of the best numbers was Alexander’s performance with the magnificent Larisa Dolina with the composition “Moon Melody”, which, by the way, they still perform with pleasure at various concerts and events.

Life after "People's Artist"

Despite having a magnificent voice and talent, after the “People’s Artist” show, Alexander Panayotov could not become a first-tier star. He successfully toured with the project participants, and after tour was able to focus on solo work and writing material for the release of his own album. In addition to his own songs, the album includes duets with Larisa Dolina and colleagues in the People’s Artist project Alexei Chumakov (season 1) and Ruslan Alekhno (season 2).

In parallel with the work on the album, Alexander begins attempts to conquer a new height for himself - to become the country’s representative at the international Eurovision competition. But the evil fate of “second place” haunts the singer here too. In 2005, he lost first place to Natalia Podolskaya (took 15th place at Eurovision), in 2008 he became second after Dima Bilan (took 2nd place at Eurovision), and in 2009 he tried to become a representative of Ukraine, but took second there too place. All this time, Alexander did not stand still, but was in search - creatively, musically, in search of himself. He experimented with his repertoire and appearance, gaining an army of devoted, but still few, fans.

Alexander Panayotov now

After the expiration of the contract with FBI-Music in March 2011, Alexander decided that he was ready to try to become an independent artist. He set off on a free voyage through the country's media space. Firstly, he continued to tour extensively throughout the CIS countries, performing mainly his songs from the albums “Lady of the Rain” and “Formula of Love”, and, at the same time, he was collecting material for a new, third album. The result of creative quests was the release of the album “Alpha and Omega” in 2013.

Album cover “Alpha and Omega”

Despite the fact that the album consists of only 10 tracks, fans of Panayotov’s work were endlessly happy with the new material. They noted that Alexander had grown a lot musically, providing the public with more mature, interesting and quality products. After the release of his new album, the singer hatched a plan for a grand show in which he could demonstrate not only his increased vocal skills, but also his talents as a director and stage director. July 5, 2014 in a chic concert hall“Mir” Alexander presented the show “All in”, dedicated to his 30th anniversary.

In addition to the fact that he himself acted as the producer and director of the show, he is also the author of most of the compositions performed in the show. The singer’s guests were his colleague in “People’s Artist” Alexey Chumakov, Larisa Dolina, Vladimir Presnyakov, Yulia Nachalova, Margarita Pozoyan, Georgy Melikishvili. The show was warmly received by the public, and tickets for it were sold out long before the performance date.

At the same time, Alexander presented an experimental musical product - a joint track with the famous video blogger Sasha Spielberg “I Promise”. A few months later a video clip was presented for this composition. At the same time, the tracks “Sami” and “Telephone” were released.

2016 and the show “The Voice”

2016 was a turning point in Alexander’s career. At the beginning of the year, he presents his new track “Invincible” as well as a video for it. A participant in the “Voice” project, the beautiful Alexandra Belyakova, starred in the video with Panayotov. The video and song were warmly received by fans. Despite the fact that many have noticed a slight similarity musical composition with Adelle’s song “Hello”, the atmosphere, quality of performance and Alexander’s enchanting voice were called by many commentators the best of his career.

But the real bomb was Alexander’s appearance at the blind auditions for the fifth season of the show “The Voice,” where all the mentors immediately recognized him and turned to him. This made Panayotov worry a lot and make difficult choices. After Alexander appeared on the show, the audience was immediately divided into two camps. Some argue that artists like him have no right to come to the project and, perhaps, deprive one of the unknown newcomers of a star chance. Others fully supported Alexander, rightly noting that for some reason talents of this level are not represented on our stage. And a show of this level could be the impetus for Alexander’s career to take off. new round. Let's watch together Panayotov's first performance within the project, which, by the way, became the most watched of all the blind auditions:

All four mentors expressed support for the singer, however, Alexander chose to join Leps’ team. Many see a financial interest in this. Well, this cannot be ruled out, the singer has been on the fringes for too long Russian show business. Perhaps collaboration with is a real chance to make a mega-talented performer a real star. At the moment, Alexander has successfully reached the semi-finals of the competition, supported by his mentor and a growing army of fans. At the performances in the quarterfinals, the lyrical composition by Grigory Leps “Why do you need me” was performed. Alexander was able to once again surprise both the audience and his mentors by singing the song purely and without using his usual melismas. At the same time, his timbre went to the very top and to the lower register, which was unusual and difficult for a tenor.

Personal life

Unfortunately, Alexander does not like to talk about his personal life. In his interviews, he willingly shares stories about first love, first kiss, and youthful crushes. But at the same time he gently avoids answering questions about whether his heart is occupied now. In none of the social networks you will not find a photograph that could shed light on the state of affairs on the singer’s love front. He is not married and has no children, and most of the photos on Instagram where he can be seen with girls are captioned in the spirit of “this is a colleague/friend.” It is known that he communicates closely with his manager Ekaterina Koreneva, with whom he flies joint vacation and spends a lot of time together.

Alexander Panayotov 2017

As soon as the hype surrounding the finale of the show “The Voice” on Channel One subsided, Alexander’s mentor Grigory Leps began immediately implementing his promise “Come to me, you won’t regret it!” Immediately after “The Voice,” one could see Panayotov in the ageless “Guess the Melody.” Together with other participants of “The Voice”, Alexander first appeared on Channel One. In addition to participating in the game itself, he performed a duet with Tatyana Shamanina new song. By the way, Alexander wrote the text himself.

Alexander himself said that in the winter of 2016 he almost died in an accident and it was this accident that prompted him to come to the “Voice” show.

"In my case, the impetus was car accident, after which they do not survive. I was driving after Yulia Nachalova’s birthday - in winter, it was night. I was sitting in the back seat, not wearing a seat belt. A second - and a blow to the forehead. The car that crashed into us skidded. I remember smoke, airbags, and I fell into the front seat. God saved me - I didn’t suffer much, but at that moment everything turned upside down inside me. It was a small death. I realized how short life is, how much time I lose because of some kind of pride, that I urgently need to act,” the singer said.

I accepted the defeat with dignity: “I am, let’s say, a gambling person: I got a taste for it, and of course, I wanted to win. But I tried my best not to be upset by the loss. I am already an adult, so I can understand the laws of the genre and accept defeat with dignity. But for me it’s not a loss in any case, because we have the best team mentors, the main thing is that the music wins, and the rest is secondary.”
