Alice mon husband. Biography of Alice Mon

Alisa Mon (Svetlana Vladimirovna Bezuh, born 1964) - once popular Soviet and Russian pop singer, poet, composer, whose songs "Plantain" and "Diamond" became popular hits. The discography of the singer is represented by nine albums, the last of which was released in 2005. Today, Alice's creative life takes place mainly in clubs and corporate venues. She does not hide her desire to return to the clip again and is ready to make every effort for this.

Childhood and youth

Alisa Mon was born on August 15, 1964 in the city of Slyudyanka, Irkutsk Region. The future star spent all her childhood on the shores of Lake Baikal, graduating from the usual high school. Even then, the girl amazed teachers with her voice, but no one could imagine what this talent would result in.

Alice was always an active member of the Komsomol, she studied well, and in high school she began to compose music and poetry. She even created a school ensemble, which most often performed the repertoire of her beloved Karel Gott. She always liked to play the piano and compose something.

Parents did not particularly direct these abilities in the right direction, so Alice, having perfect pitch, does not even have an average music education. Although she is not at all offended by them, since mom and dad have always remained reliable support and support. In addition, the girl was different strong character and could always take care of herself. She had excellent physical data, so she was often invited to participate in sports competitions.

And it all started so well

At the age of 19, Alice moved to Novosibirsk in order to study at the pop department of the local music school. But she could not finish it because of the verdict "incompetence" issued by her teachers. But the aspiring singer made good money performing jazz in restaurants. “At one time I worked in a tavern .. where money poured out of all pockets”- recalls the singer. Along with this, Alice had a short experience of studying at medical, polytechnical and pedagogical institutes, and everywhere she quickly realized that this was not her occupation.

From 1986 to 1989, Alisa was a soloist of the Labyrinth group, created by her ex-husband S. Muravyov at the Novosibirsk Philharmonic. In 1987, her debut solo album “Take My Heart” was released, one of whose songs “Plantain Grass” became a real hit of the late Perestroika. Recently, the singer admitted that initially this song was not intended for her, but for Ekaterina Semenova. But she, having heard the pilot performance of Mon, refused to take her to work with the words: "I'd rather not sing".

She came up with her pseudonym on the eve of recording the record at the Melodiya company, then she really liked the name Alice, which was used as the first part of the stage name. The second half was born a little later, when the girl gave a radio interview. Then it was required to give a surname, and she named Mon - a derivative of Mona Lisa. From the combination of these spirit parts, Alice Mon was born.

Alice Mon's debut on television took place in 1987 in the program "Morning Mail", where she performed the song "I Promise". In the same year, the singer took part in the festival "Song-87", receiving a prize audience sympathy. After that, you could safely go on tour. They traveled with the "Labyrinth" group around the country, and new popular songs "Hello and Goodbye", "Warm Me" and a number of others appeared in Alice's repertoire.

In 1991, Mon became a diploma student music competition"Midnight Sun", held in Finland. The following year she participated in international festival"Step to Parnassus". Soon the move to Moscow took place, but relations with her husband, because of his desire to completely control Alice's work, began to gradually go wrong. At some point, she realized that she could not live without freedom, and left in the early 90s with her son for small homeland. She left the child to her parents in Slyudyanka, and she herself moved to Angarsk away from the gossip and gossip associated with the divorce. Here she got a job at the local Energetik House of Culture as an artistic director.

Return to the capital

It was in Angarsk that Alice wrote a new hit "Diamond". One local entrepreneur helped her return to Moscow, who was surprised why the recent star vegetates in Siberia. He gave the necessary amount for shooting and promotion of the video.

Returning to Moscow after a long absence, the singer looked at this city in a new way. Not from the car window, following the instructions of the producer, but freely, without any restrictions. On the other hand, no one really expected Alice here and did not believe in her miraculous return. Even at the Soyuz studio, where he was brought for promotion new material, were skeptical about the possibility of achieving national fame.

Contrary to doubts, the song "Diamond" gained great popularity, winning the hearts of a vast country. In 2001, two CD-collections "Dance with me" and "Dive with me" were released, but they did not allow them to achieve the success that they had previously.

Personal life

Both Alice's husbands are associated with the Labyrinth group. The first was the guitarist of this band Vasily Marinin. The second husband of the singer was the composer and producer Sergei Muravyov. She admits that she was madly in love with her husband, but could not endure his tyrannical attacks for a long time. After the birth of his son Sergei, he increasingly began to force Alice to perform only his material. Timid attempts to persuade her husband to perform his own songs were not successful at first. Once, the singer nevertheless managed to convince her to sing her compositions, both of which were attended by a loved one - “Give me back the joy” and “I'm not a doll”. But this caused an ambiguous reaction from Sergei.

Today, Alice does not build far-reaching plans for her personal life and dreams of one thing - to become a grandmother as soon as possible. The singer ironically described the relationship with the opposite sex with the following phrase: “As soon as I start looking at a man as a husband, everything starts to change for the worse”.

Among Alice's favorite hobbies is sewing. Friends, having learned about her talent, ask all the time to sew something. She also loves Chinese and Japanese cuisine, especially spicy dishes. IN free time she is not averse to wandering around the shops, while not experiencing much excitement and passion for this.

Alice Mon today

In 2015, the singer experienced two terrible shocks - first her grandmother died, and after her dad passed away. Alice's mother is very worried about what happened, and her beloved daughter tries to support her in everything. Despite hard times, the singer presented her new song"Stop, taxi!", which threatens to become a real hit. Mon tries to control himself, so he amazes the audience with a wonderful figure and beautiful appearance.

Now the singer is actively touring and does not hide that she is ready to make a similar breakthrough, which was 20-25 years ago with Plantain and Almaz. She is offended when she is called a retro singer and firmly refused to participate in the You Are a Superstar project. True, Mon complains about the way ordered for her to the central television channels, without which it will be difficult to achieve true popular love. Sometimes Alice Mon is quite reasonably compared with E. Piaf in the sense that she presents each of her songs as a mini-performance in the likeness of the great French singer.

She is still gladly invited to corporate and festive events to many corners and villages of our boundless country. A few years ago, Alice received higher education, graduated from the Moscow University of Culture and Arts with a degree in film director mass events. Now she is trying to position herself in this direction, primarily putting her own numbers.

Sixteen years ago, the whole country sang lines from Alice Mon's song: "Diamond of your precious eyes." But then Alice suddenly disappeared from the TV screens. Many believed that the artist emigrated to America, others were sure that the star returned to her homeland, to Siberia.

However, all this time she lived in Moscow and actively toured. IN exclusive interview Alice told about new creative success, a difficult period that has come in the life of her son, and also about why she is not going to get married.

Alice Mon correspondents "Only Stars" met at one of the national concerts. Over the years, Alice has not changed at all: the same cheerful and radiant. Behind the scenes, the singer was in great demand: it seems that not only the public, but also her colleagues missed her. Alice did not refuse anyone: she signed autographs, took pictures and confessed: in her creative life again came the white stripe.

“Last summer I spent in Moscow, in a frenzy and in traffic jams,” the singer immediately admitted. “Although, again, I got excited. I don't like to stand in traffic jams, so I prefer to take the subway. Many are surprised, but I like it. Because traffic jams then remain blood clots in my soul for a long time. Besides, I don't like to be late.

– Alice, during our last meeting you talked about subfebrile temperature (an increase in body temperature for a long time in the range of 37.5–38 ° C. – Ed.), which you suddenly had. Did you find the reason?

- You know, I just stopped measuring it. I realized that the artist always fixes the temperature at the moment when he has a lull in his work. And when the artist is busy, then he doesn’t care about the temperature. It seems to me that the more talented the artist, the higher the temperature becomes. I'm kidding, of course. But I used to treat everything with humor. Especially in Lately I had a chic and divine opportunity to forget about it. But I always stand up for health, if there is health, there will be everything else.

- If you go back to the last meeting, then you told us about your son, who recently got married. Does he plan to make you a grandmother yet?

- No. But soon I, probably, will be married to my son. Along the way, they get divorced. In any case, this is how things stand today. I don’t want to get into their relationship, because during this time the daughter-in-law has become a kindred person for me. I realized this in the last two weeks especially sharply. Now I know that she is dear to me, my beloved girl. Almost a daughter, because she calls me mom, and I'm her daughter. Very hard!

Are you trying to reconcile them?

- No, I don't climb at all. The main thing is not to harm. Well, to help, when asked, is probably also sacred. But to climb with the initiative is wrong. I am also an ancient girl, so I understand perfectly well that it is better to just be an observer. Although I cannot stand aside, because these are really close and dear people for me. I don’t know what will come of it and how they will taxi with their love, but I hope that everything will be fine. They have fatal love, that's the point. Although what is there to be surprised: they are both personalities, both are beautiful, both are talented and both are ... mine!

What does it mean " fatal love»?

“This is love that is mainly based on sexual relationships. But these sexual relationships are so strong that I see a burning light in the eyes of both Dasha and Serezha even now, when they are in strong contrasts. But they look at each other as if they are about to take and attack. But for now, they keep their distance.

It's understandable with children. How are things in your personal life? Are you not going to get married?

- I'm just going to be a grandmother. I want to be my granddaughter's grandmother. Although I don't know when that will happen. But this is my dream. As God wills, so be it.

- Wait, have you really put an end to your personal life?

- No, just once for me the wedding was significant. And now, when next year I hit fifty kopecks, it somehow doesn’t matter to me anymore. I think the most important thing right now is
do what I need to do in this life. I gave birth to a son, built a house, now I need to grow a tree. And the tree is my work. My tree, I believe, has not yet given the fruits that I would like. But I hope that things will change soon. This summer I recorded a lot of new songs. I got good team, a team of male fans who root for me with all their hearts and want everything to start again for me.

- Wait, what a stalemate when distributors say that Alice Mon has enough performances, whether she is shown on TV or not!

- It's true. But I had a certain stagnation in terms of the release of my work to the general public. And now everything seems to be getting better. That tree of which I spoke should bear fruit soon. Now it has already given flowers. New songs will be released soon, I will declare myself to the world and show my new material. I am looking forward to this event very much. I recently worked in Astrakhan. We were brought to the Philharmonic: we had to perform and immediately fly back.

When the concert started, these were people who were waiting for the buffet to begin. In 15 minutes they were already my viewers, and in thirty minutes they were people new Alice Mon. After the speech, the people who organized the performance called me for five minutes to talk. They told me: "Alice, your new repertoire is even stronger than the previous one." Such words are worth a lot! People are dilettantes good sense this word! In two weeks I will start shooting the first video, in total it is planned to shoot two videos.

- Now many stars declare themselves not only with the help of creativity, but also by participating in all kinds of shows that are so popular on television today. Why can't you be seen, for example, skating?

- I am terribly afraid of any injuries and everything connected with them. A year ago, I, a person who thinks well, went rollerblading with friends. She drove at breakneck speed. But as soon as I stopped, I was immediately driven around, I fell out of the blue and got such an abrasion that I had for a year. But sometimes I have to appear in public in dresses and transparent tights. If it happens that it interferes with my work, then I better not. I'd rather find another way to release my energy if there is nowhere to put it.

Let's talk about psychics. Now programs with their participation are very popular. Have you ever asked them for help?

- Yes. There was an incomprehensible period in my life when I did not know how to live on. I returned from Moscow to my homeland, to Siberia. And one day, fate pushed me into a girl who is a great guesser. I decided to find out what the future holds for me. She predicted everything to me: that I would return to Moscow, that I would have my own apartment. When she told me this, I didn't even believe it. Because I did not plan to return to Moscow at all. And you see, it all happened. I returned, I got my Almaz, I bought an apartment and returned to work again. All these years I have been touring tirelessly, recording new songs. And every time I saw: the audience misses me.

The audience is bored, but do you often have a bad mood yourself? Are you facing depression?

“God, five minutes ago I was depressed until you came over. I can't be alone and sad. If I get up and nothing happens around, I already have depression. I don't like when there is no movement. As soon as an event begins, everything immediately passes. Until they called me and got the wrong number. It annoys a lot of people, but it doesn't bother me at all. At this moment, I have neither anger nor irritation! And I think it's right!

An excerpt characterizing Mon, Alisa Vladimirovna

“Thank you, monsignor, for your concern. But I don't have vain hopes, hoping to get out of here... He will never let me go... Not my poor daughter. I live to destroy it. He should not have a place among people.
– It is a pity that I did not recognize you earlier, Isidora. Perhaps we could become good friends. Now goodbye. You can't stay here. Dad will definitely come to wish me "good luck." You don't need to meet him here. Save your daughter, Madonna... And don't give up to Caraffe. God be with you!
“Which God are you talking about, monsignor?” I asked sadly.
- Surely, not about the one to whom Caraffa prays! .. - Morone smiled in parting.
I stood still for a moment, trying to remember in my soul the image of this wonderful person, and waving goodbye, went out into the corridor.
The sky opened up with a flurry of anxiety, panic and fear!.. Where was my brave, lonely girl now?! What prompted her to leave Meteora?.. For some reason, Anna did not answer my insistent calls, although I knew that she could hear me. This instilled even greater anxiety, and I only held out with the last of my strength so as not to succumb to the panic that burned my soul, because I knew that Caraffa would certainly take advantage of any of my weaknesses. And then I'll have to lose before even starting to resist...
Having retired to “my” chambers, I “licked” old wounds, not even hoping that they would ever heal, but simply trying to be as strong and calm as possible in case of any opportunity to start a war with Caraffa ... It makes no sense to hope for a miracle it was, because I knew perfectly well that in our case no miracles were foreseen ... Everything that happens, I will have to do only myself.
Inaction killed, making me feel forgotten, helpless and unnecessary by everyone... And although I knew perfectly well that I was wrong, the worm of "black doubt" successfully gnawed at the inflamed brain, leaving a bright trace of uncertainty and regrets there...
I did not regret that I was at Karaffa myself ... But I was terribly afraid for Anna. And also, I still could not forgive myself for the death of my father and Girolamo, my beloved and best people in the world for me ... Will I ever be able to avenge them? .. Isn't everyone right when they say that Caraffa cannot be defeated ? That I won't destroy it, but just die stupidly myself?.. Was the North really right in inviting me to go to Meteora? And did the hope to destroy the Pope all this time lived only in me alone?! ..
And one more thing... I felt that I was very tired... Inhumanly, terribly tired... Sometimes it even seemed - wouldn't it really be better to go to Meteora?.. After all, someone went there?.. And why They didn't care that people were dying around them. It was important for them to LEARN, to receive the secret KNOWLEDGE, since they considered themselves exceptionally gifted ... But, on the other hand, if they really were so “exceptional”, then how could they forget the simplest, but in my opinion, our commandment is very important - do not go to rest while others need your help ... How could they close up so easily without even looking around, without trying to help others? .. How did they calm their souls? ..
Of course, my “indignant” thoughts did not concern the children in Meteora in any way ... This war was not their war, it concerned only adults ... And the kids still had to go long and hard along the path of knowledge in order to be able to protect your home, your family and all good people living on our strange, incomprehensible Earth.

I have always loved freedom and valued the right of free choice of each individual. But there were moments in life when our personal freedom was not worth millions of lives of other good people...
