The leader of the Chaif rock band, which does not age over the years, Vladimir Shakhrin is not only a talented musician, but also a caring husband, father and already grandfather. He admits that he regrets a little about how little attention he paid to his daughters in childhood. Hopes to catch up with her granddaughters and grandson.

Biography and personal life

The singer was born in the summer in the city of Sverdlovsk in 1959. He graduated from school there, where he met the future member of the group - Begunov.

In 1978, Vladimir was taken to serve in the border troops. Shakhrov married in 1980 the beautiful girl Elena. He met her while studying at a construction college. Vladimir Shakhrin, whose personal life is connected with one woman, in the late eighties was more busy with music than with his family. He himself complains that at this time he remembers everything about the group, but not so much about his daughters. Only that he took them on sleds to the garden and ran to the dairy kitchen for food for them. It should be noted that this is a lot, especially for a rock musician.

After Vladimir graduated from a technical school, he worked as an installer at a construction site for eight years. Allthe skills acquired during study and work came in handy: a lot of things were done in the house by the skillful hands of the owner. And in Soviet times, such a profession as an installer made it possible for the family to get an apartment and live separately from their parents.

Musician's family

Wife Elena gave birth to her husband's two daughters: Julia and Daria. And on the fiftieth birthday of their dad, they gave two granddaughters - Alice and Victoria (with a difference of five months). In 2014, the eldest daughter gave birth to another grandson and thus diluted the girl's kingdom. The boy was named Maxim.

All the upbringing of daughters in the late eighties came down to the fact that dad came from tour, gave everyone gifts and left again to travel around the cities. Now the father is making up for lost time and spending more time with his daughters and grandchildren. True, in 2015, Chaif, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the group, arranged a tour around the country with tours.

For their daughters' weddings, their parents gave them an apartment, located next to the Shakhrins' private house. In their opinion, for family happiness it is necessary to live separately from parents. But almost every week everyone gathers at the big table with the family.

Recently, the leader of the Chaif group bought the Sherlock quest game franchise in Yekaterinburg. Officially, the eldest daughter took over the management of the project. Players will be asked to complete a series of quests and exit the room.

Grandfather and grandchildren

Grandfather enjoys playing with his grandson, including musical instruments. She sings children's songs to him. He kindly complains about having to repeat the same song over and over.repeatedly. For his granddaughters, he is not just a grandfather, but also a good friend. Often girls leave messages on the phone to a kind grandfather. They ask him to come, because no one plays better with them.

Shakhrin's wife: 40 years together

Vladimir's wife has nothing to do with music. She is not only a housewife, on which the whole house rests. Elena realizes herself as an architect. The woman created a couple of projects of houses and apartments. In difficult times for the family (in the 80s), she sewed children's overalls for sale and thus practically supported the whole family alone. Currently, she also sews, but for herself and friends.

Daughters with grandchildren regularly visit their parents' country house. Everyone lives in Yekaterinburg, and no one is going to move to Moscow for permanent residence. In 35 years of married life, there have been no serious scandals with leaving home. Vladimir Shakhrin describes the secret of a long relationship simply. First, there must be a desire to live with your beloved all your life. Secondly, when a family has already been created, a man should have a firm understanding that he needs to take care of his wife and do everything to make her feel good. To get out of a quarrel, the musician advises not to go into it and not to kindle a conflict. Another option is to distract your beloved with an unexpected joke or quietly move on to another topic.

A little about life principles

Fans of the Chaif group, and just people who follow music, are interested in knowing the secretssuccess and the principles by which Vladimir Shakhrin lives. He is a truly sunny person, easy to communicate with, and, it seems, does not suffer from star fever at all. One gets the feeling that the person is absolutely non-conflict, and nothing in life worries him. However, in one of the interviews, he spoke about the fact that only crazy people are satisfied with everything. Both in the creative team and in the family there are disagreements and disputes. The main thing is to get out of them with dignity and not push them to the limit.

The musician considers himself a happy person, because he has everything for this: family, grandchildren, favorite work.

Living within your means - that's the saying that Vladimir Shakhrin heard from his father. The family should be above all fees. The rocker doesn't need endless trips around the country."Better than necessary - not necessary" - worldly wisdom, which is written in the rider of the group. And now in the life of the leader of the Chaif group, everything is so good that there is no need to dream of more, Vladimir Shakhrin admits. The photos clearly demonstrate the idyll and love that reign in the family.

Creativity of the Chaif group

Lyrics with deep meaning, and the sound is always of high quality - that's what the fans love the band for. For all the time, the group included the best musicians of the country, but two remained unchanged: Shakhrin and Begunov. The story began with ordinary apartment houses in the early eighties and continues to this day, but with concerts all over Russia.

For the first time, the musicians made a loud statement with their creativity in 1986 at a rock festival in Sverdlovsk, after which they were invited toperformance in Leningrad. The first vinyl with the name "Do not worry" was released by the group in 1990. In the early 90s, "Chayf" is gaining its popularity. Such famous compositions as "Let everything be as you want", "Orange mood" are released.

Since 1994, the team has been participating in festivals and combined rock concerts: "Maxidrome", "Invasion", "Old New Rock". The last one takes place in Yekaterinburg every year on January 13th. Shakhrin acts as the host - Santa Claus.

The band played shows in London. One of them, acoustic, was played live on the radio in Seva Novgorodtsev's broadcast on the BBC.

In 2000 and 2005, for their anniversaries, the group assembles the full Olimpiysky SCC. In 2014, Chaif suspended their concert activities in preparation for their 30th anniversary. But the musicians nevertheless made an exception and performed in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Tula.

In February 2015, a big tour of Russia began in honor of the thirtieth anniversary - "Chayf. Born in Sverdlovsk".
