The songs of Irina Krug are now known to many of her fans, but still more often they talk about her as the wife of Mikhail Krug. The future performer was born into a military family. As a child, she attended a theater group in the Chelyabinsk House of Culture. Her dream was to be an actress. She connected her life with the stage far from immediately.

Childhood

At the age of 21, Irina started working as a waitress. For two years she was an employee of one of the city's restaurants. The girl got a job in this institution when her first marriage broke up. It was there that Irina met Mikhail Krug, a Russian author and performer of songs in the chanson style. By that time, the girl was well acquainted with the work of the musician.

The artist's songs were liked by Irina's first husband. At the same time, she did not share such enthusiasm for the ex-husband's chanson and preferred more romantic works.

Introduction

Once her head, the director of the restaurant, approached Irina and said that Mikhail Krug was givingconcert in Chelyabinsk, and then his dinner will be held in their institution. The employer asked Irina to do everything possible so that the guest ate well and was satisfied with the visit. During this dinner, Mikhail made an unexpected offer to the girl - to become his dresser.

The future Irina Krug initially refused, saying that she had a small child and for this reason she could not go. A few months later, the director of the Circle called the girl. He made a second proposal for cooperation with the artist, to which she agreed. Mikhail was not embarrassed by the daughter from his first marriage, and he took the girl to Tver.

A little later, the musician took responsibility for this child, and the girl began to call him dad. In 2001, Irina Krug and Mikhail officially married. Before that, for a year, the artist kept her at a distance.

After the death of her husband

Irina Krug after the death of Mikhail was offered to record a number of songs in memory of the famous spouse. This idea was proposed by Vladimir Bocharov, author and performer. As a result, Irina Krug's debut album appeared, which was released in 2004. This record was called "The First Autumn of Separation". There, the performer sings with Leonid Teleshov, who was a friend of her late husband.

A year later, the girl was awarded the Chanson of the Year award. She won in the nomination "Discovery of the Year". The second album, en titled "To You, My Last Love", appeared in 2006. Vadim Tsyganov was the producer of this disc, which included songs to music and lyrics by Mikhail Krug. The husband did not teach Irina to sing, he did not consider her as a performer.

The couple dreamed of children and a peaceful old age together. After the death of her husband, the widow found recordings from her trial album, which was never completed, and actively took up vocals.
