But the artist still considers his solo career a priority - he has prepared for release a solo disc with sixteen songs of his own composition.

Musical creativity occupied great place in Alexander's life since childhood. He was born in musical family and at the age of nine he already became a children's pianist music group"Anban", and at thirteen he entered Sukhumskoe School of Music to the pop department. His path to popularity began with work in the groups “Aramis” and “Vostok”, and after meeting Victoria Talyshinskaya in 1999, they organized the duet “Nepara”, which lasted thirteen years. Despite the fact that the group's creativity then music critics was received without enthusiasm, her songs became very popular.

Alexander Shoua is widely known as one of “Nepara”; participation in this duet turned out to be an important milestone, both in the creative biography and in the personal life of the singer and musician. But this is not the first and not the last step in his career.

Alexander was born in the Abkhaz resort town of Ochamchira on December 26, 1973. Adulthood began with a move to Moscow, but it was not plans to conquer the capital that brought him here. The family was forced to leave native home because of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. In the capital, at first he had to earn his bread not by creative work.

A short but strong 19-year-old guy grabbed any job, for some time he was a loader in a grocery store.

Soon followed fateful meeting with the bass guitarist of the Aramis group. It turned out that Showa is “a Swede, a reaper, and a trumpet player” - as part of this group, he performed as a backing vocalist, played keyboards and arranged songs. Thus began his professional musical career, the foundation for which was laid in his childhood.

Childhood

Perhaps Shoua owes his vocal abilities to his origin; many Abkhazians naturally have sonorous voices. But the environment played no less a role in the development of the future singer. Sasha was born and grew up in a musical family, his father played drums, his uncle played bass guitar, and both sang.

The boy, who spent a lot of time at their rehearsals, gained experience and was interested in music since childhood.

Already at 9 he performed in children's group"ANBAN" as a pianist. And at the age of 13 he entered the pop department of a music school in the capital of Abkhazia. Although it was not possible to complete my education, my knowledge and skills were useful during the period of cooperation with the Aramis group and when building a future career.

Career

While performing in clubs with the Aramis group, Showa met a representative of the large European recording company PolyGram and signed a contract with her. For several years, the young musician performed in nightclubs in Germany. In the late 90s, he returned to Moscow and soon met Victoria Talyshinskaya. A couple of years later they came up with the idea of ​​creating a duet.

The duet "Nepara" existed for 10 years, in 2012 Alexander began solo career, recorded an album that was released only in 2016.

The first notable composition in the singer’s solo career was the song “The Sun Above My Head.”

About a year and a half after the collapse of Nepara, Shoua and Talyshinskaya decided to reunite. Now Alexander himself and other composers write music for their songs. In parallel with his performances as part of a duet, the singer continues his solo career, gives concerts and conducts master classes for aspiring musicians.

Over the years musical career Alexander Shoua recorded 3 albums as part of “Nepara” and one solo album, “Your Voice”. The duo's songs were also included in 3 collections.

The singer has a dozen and a half videos, in most of them he sang and starred with Victoria.

Showa's work has been highly praised:

• On January 6, 2014 he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of South Ossetia;
• On November 21, 2017, the singer was awarded the same title in his native Abkhazia.

Group "Nepara"

The brightest pages of Alexander Shoua’s creative biography are associated with his participation in the duet “Nepara”.

The group toured Russia and foreign countries, drawing full houses at concerts.

By 2012, Showa began to feel that he was cramped within the framework of the duet, and for the sake of professional growth he began a solo career. But the initiative to reunite also came from him, and Victoria happily agreed.
