Family

In 1962, on November 16, Igor Kornelyuk was born. The family in which the future composer was born had nothing to do with musical art. Parents - Evgeny Kasyanovich and Nina Afanasyevna - were engineers. However, the artist's grandmother, Maria Demyanovna, played the seven-string guitar and sang romances. And when guests gathered in the house, drinking songs were sung in chorus at the table. Often asked to sing and Igor. The professor of the Belarusian Conservatory recommended that parents send their son to study at a music school. At the age of 6, Igor began to learn to play the piano.

In adolescence, the first love came to Igor. But the girl did not reciprocate his feelings, and this fact was so tragic for him that he fell ill. And after his recovery, he had a need to write music to express feelings. Igor Evgenievich says that he is very grateful to Lyuba, who rejected his feelings and thereby helped him become a composer. It all started with writing naive songs about unhappy love to poems by great poets.

But he paid little attention to his studies, as he combined it with work in rock ensembles.

Igor listened to the words of the teacher and left.

Student years

Kornelyuk wrote complex music, close to the classics. And he began to write hit pop songs on a dare. Alexander Morozov, a songwriter, studied on the same course with him. And it was he who told I. Kornelyuk that he would not be able to write simple songs that all the people would sing like he did. Two composers bet on cognac. Soon Igor Evgenievich wrote several songs. They immediately became popular - this is "Darling" and "Ballet Ticket".
