The artist was not tired of shocking the audience than he gave both the love of one part of it and the disapproval and mockery of the other.Childhood and youth
Singer Alexander Medvedev was born on May 20, 1975 in Novosibirsk. The boy grew up with the mother of Svetlana, the younger brother Mikhail and Grandma of Mikhailovna, who, according to the artist, was Gypsy blood.
Sasha has always been sure that his brother loved more, and eventually found a lot of confirmations. For example, the musician told that at the age of 9, he got into an orphanage, from where the grandmother had been taken from him. And about the fact that his father to him is not normal, the young man found out, receiving a passport, where the mother asked him to record another patronymic.
As it turned out, his native father, Vladimir Shapkin, lived near the house of Medvedev, but did not show the initiative in order to meet and chat with his son. Svetlana began to meet with 20-year-old Vladimir, just returned from the army, at age 17. The girl became pregnant, but the young man did not consider it necessary to marry, and on the contrary, removed. After a time, Nikolai Dudchenko became his spouse, from which the second son was born. But this family did not exist long.
Having become popular, Shura always tried to mainly support his mother, even if due to conflicts I had to transfer money not directly, but through my brother or daughter-in-law.
Shura has no musical education. And study at school ended for him already in the 7th grade. The boy was expelled with a certificate of incomplete secondary education.
He began his career in the singer early - at 13 years old. The first scene of Sasha was the Novosibirsk restaurant "Rus", where his grandmother worked. An unusual artist immediately nicknamed a yellow suitcase. Apparently, it was associated with a shocking view of the guy: he went out to perform in a black jacket with fringe, lacquered shoes on a high platform and a black coat to heels.
According to the artist, the grandmother instracted him. Faith Mikhailovna worked as a cook and the art had an indirect attitude - sang in front of a mirror romances, having to go into unthinkable outfits. She also taught the grandson macrame and embroidery. At one time, in addition to music, Medvedev in his native Novosibirsk conducted courses of needlework, which visited women of all ages. This lesson pushed the future artist to get the profession of the Florist designer.

Seeing the children, the audience was surprised at how they were like an artist, but the DNA test determined that Shura spoke the truth.
According to the artist, his personal life consciously hid a lot from a curious eye, and the novel with Liza lasted for a long time. Even after public applications, Shura continued to hide the romantic relationship from the press.
About another part of life a musician tells a little more willingly. Shura does not hide that he has a protracted conflict with his mother. In 2013, the case even reached the court.
