By his success, the band is half owed leader and founder Baigali Serkubaev, a man with a conservative education, who was inherited by a passion for music. At the dawn of education, Baigali Group worked in the ensemble "Arai" under the leadership of Tasca Okapov, and the star of the Soviet and Kazakh pop Rosbaeva solved in it.
The history of the creation of the group was not easy, the musicians had to pass, not through one change of composition. After the collapse of the original team, Serkubaev gathered a new one: Drummer Tahir Ibrahimov, Vyokalist Nadzhib Wildhanov, guitarist Sergey Diamond, virtuoso saxophonist Batyrkhan Shukenov and bassist Vladimir Mikloshich. Ibrahimova soon changed Signan Abdulin, Diamond went to America, the Bulat of Syzdykov came to his place.
The "A-Studio" leader responds about Mikloshich as a nearest friend, which is next to the first days and with whom it is divided by the most hidden experiences. According to Baigali, the musician has tranquility - yoga and on a personal example teaches philosophically to perceive complex situations.
In addition, Vladimir graduated with honors from the Polytechnic Institute and in the Group solves issues related to software and equipment. Even the musical studio of the group is created due to the hands of a guitarist. A record, editing, mixing music is also kept on the microchetic.
In 1983, the ensemble became the laureate of the All-Union Festrade Artist Competition. Together with the Rymbaoy guys, 3 albums recorded. But over time, the team has grown out the accompaniment framework and in 1987 went to independent swimming under the new title - Al-Ata, which later changed to Al-Ata Studio. A year later, the group released the first album "The Way without stopping", Shukenov becomes the frontman of the team after the surfacing.
In 1989, Bulat Syzdykov went to his own project "Musicola". The liberated place was taken by Baglan Sadvakasov. In addition to the game on an acoustic guitar, the bug, as the name of the musician friends, wrote music for the group. In particular, for the albums "Soldier of Love", "Unloved", "Living Collection", "such cases", "sinful passion".
The guitarist died in a car accident in 2006. The tragic event was reflected in the repertoire of the team - in memory of each other and colleague was recorded the song "Angel". At one time Bogan replaced the son of Tamerlan. Then he went to England for her studies, and Fedor Damov came to the group. Periodically at concerts to the team join the musicians Andrei Kosinsky, Sergey Qumin and Yevgeny Dalsky. At the same time, at the suggestion of Alla, the Pugacheva name of the group is reduced to A-Studio.
In 2000, colorful Batyrhan, the group's face, gone to make a solo career. According to Serkubaev, such a step of the Solist questioned the existence of "A-Studio". Saved the situation British producer Greg Walsh, familiar to the musical world at work with Tina Turner and Pink Floyd, with which the group began to cooperate in the 90s and leave abroad. During the tour in America, the guys got acquainted with Polina Griffis.
As Mikloshich recalled, "a woman appeared on the ship." With the arrival of Polina, the Style "A-Studio" moved towards dance music, because the soloist was understood in the tendencies of the club life. The group covered a new wave of popularity, the songs won the leadership positions in charts, the clips were in the rotation of European channels.
However, after 3 years, the team turned into a male again, this time in Vladimir Mikloshich, Baigali Serkubaev and Banghan Sadvakasov. Griffis got acquainted with the soloist of the Nevergreen group, recorded a song and video with him and also decided to perform solo.
Helped again the case. From the familiar producer Baigali received a disc with songs performed by Keti Topuria. The 17-year-old Georgian teenager was invited to the meeting, and in 2005 he left the next album - "fly away", on which the voice of a new soloist sounded with an inimitable challenge. Things in the style of rock were added to the dance melodies, more drive appeared at concerts.
Sercubaev with a smile recalled in an interview that the girl was constantly joked in the team over the Georgian focus of the girl, but then she began to speak Russian better. The men's part of the team belongs to Keta as a younger sister. According to the group leader, Topuria is a cheerful man, charming, strong and very musical.
No comes from soloists in the group are not responding badly. On the contrary, Baigali calls each individual tool that helped in different periods of the existence of the team to convey musical ideas. Thanks to the Batyr, works in the genres of Funk, Ethnic and Jazz appeared in the repertoire. Polina shook the "A-Studio", brought the team to the next level. Keti gave a new composition a strong voice, heavier sound and added the gloss, no wonder they received the Fashion TV People Awards Award as the most stylish team.
According to the team leader, everyone has the right to choose. And only positive moments are remembered: records of songs, shooting rollers, work in the studio, joint photos. According to Keti, the care of each participant is always a loss and a "hard broom." Understanding that everything that is being done is for the better, comes with time.
After the concerts, the whole team has dinner together, laughs and having fun. As Serkubaev says, "the bones of someone are vaccinated and jumped over each other." However, non-working time each spends on its own discretion, with family and friends, because relaxing from each other is useful.

Baigali in a conversation with a journalist "Matryushki" said that she divides the musical life of the group for 3 periods, by names of songs: "Julia", S.O.S. And "fly away."

He fell to the top of the charts in England, was popular in the United States.The Great Musical Mom "A-Studio" is called the Primaudonna of the Russian pop by Alla Pugachev.
