vladimir-mazurThe future musician was born in 1964, on August 3 in the Vinnitsa region, in the village of Mikhailovka.

In his memoirs, Mazur says that he comes from a musical family. Vladimir is the youngest of the three brothers, and they all play the guitar. These musical abilities of the sons are largely due to their father, who mastered many instruments and was the leader of the brass band. No wonder music always sounded in their house.

Even in early childhood, Vladimir mastered the button accordion. He learned to play this instrument without even knowing musical notation and without attending music school. The younger brother himself picked up the songs.

But playing the button accordion later helped him, when Vladimir was invited to the local ensemble to work on keyboards.

And he began to master the guitar in the ninth grade. Since then, the musician practically does not part with this instrument. The guitar was also a military companion of a soldier when he was drafted into the army in 1982. After completing the course of a young fighter, Mazur is sent to Afghanistan. That was in 1983.

So there were circumstances that Vladimir Mazur began his career in a military setting. As he recalls, the song brightened up the difficult everyday life, allowing at least for a short while not to think about the war.

Fellow soldiers said that the musical ballad of Mazur "Anxiety" raises their morale, and that after it is not scary to die.

Vladimir himself also repeatedly went on to perform dangerous combat missions. After one of them he was injured, as a result of which the doctors assigned him a third group of disability.

The former "Afghan" has many medals, military insignia.

The musician was able to find himself in civilian life. After serving in the Army, he worked as a physical education teacher at the Electromechanical College of Kiev. Then he taught physical education at the Engineering College of Saransk.

Since 1989, the bard began to actively tour, engage in concert and creative activities. Vladimir also does a lot of public work.

From 1999 to 2002, he worked in the rehabilitation center "Rus", even developed a social program for the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities through leisure and cultural activities.
