My favorite singer Alain Sviridov. Her voice - extraordinary strength, emotion and at the same time the warmth and wisdom. I like her style of singing, the songs themselves, but even more inspiring resistance singer before life's difficulties.As a child, Allen used to solve all questions itself. She was friends with the boys, and fought with them, often equal. In memory left a scar on his temple, received at the rink; the scar on his hand, because it was sealed by the blood oath of eternal friendship and devotion, as well as the scar on his leg - the result of the flight from the fence that served as a future singer circus rope. Allen was born in Minsk, who always seemed to her the center of the universe and where she received her musical education. She was bathed in an atmosphere of love: her adored great-grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, husband, son, friends. In Minsk Alena it was all, and most importantly - a good, warm, good home. But once my character has decided to radically change their lives - in search of vocation she was in Moscow,In the first years of his life in Moscow Alain elected disastrous for yourself tactics behavior. It is still anybody and never knew of her work has not been seen or heard, and she was trying to get acquainted with all, to draw attention to themselves. But it had no effect: Moscow appreciates a man already completed and filed the case adequately. Losers do not like here, and newcomers just do not pay attention. Then Sviridov crossed out for themselves the beautiful bustling Moscow life, social events and parties in nightclubs. She went into hiding, and set to work. For work seven days a week, without relaxation, without rest. She rented an apartment in the most provincial areas of Moscow and all the money went solely on songwriting. And after two years of hard work Alain again appears before the order surprised Moscow elite that sees a completely new, stylish, ironic, and no one is copying the singer. Her first song, her "Pink Flamingos" if out of my favorite fairy tales of Lewis Carroll. I was pleased to learn that Lewis Carroll - one of the favorite authors of my favorite singer.Moscow musical elite took Allen into their circle fairly quickly. And since, by its nature, it is not prone to gossip, intrigues, tricks and pushing their heads, moreover, she always kept a few to pull away, as if all, but by itself, then the attitude towards it from the beau monde developed a decent, according to the principle " do not judge others - and not be judged. " This quality in the character Sviridova I like very much, and that I want to be like her.I do not like gossip, I do not like to discuss the person behind him. Of course, if you speak the truth openly, in the face, many are offended, considering their shortcomings are not subject to discussion or criticism.
