Sergey ‘Chizh’ Chigrakov (band front-man and also an author of almost every song) was born on 2nd February, 1961 in Dzerzhinsk. Started to play in local bands with his elder brother at the age of 14, substituting some of their members. Then he graduates from music school and college. His work in group named “GPD” (“Gruppa Prodlennogo Dnya” - “Afterschool Group”) became a real “amateur” experience. Musicians played hard-rock that was very popular at that time. Chigrakov moves from Dzerzhinsk to Harkov is summer, 1989 - he was invited to work as guest guitarist in the same-name band (“GPD”). Soon “GPD” of Harkov falls in two parts, and Chizh joins party named “Raznie Lyudi” (“Different People”). They record some albums with that label, among them there was “Bugi-Harkov” (“Boogie-Harkov”), completely consisted of Chizh’s songs. Album became wide-spread only some years later, but future hits were already created by the time of its publication: “Hochu Chayu” (“Want some tea”), “Dorogusha” (“Deary”), “Assol”. Because of his work with “Raznie Lyudi” Chizh was noticed by the whole rock community.

In 1993 Chizh gets invite from Igor Berezcov and Andrey Burlaka to record his own disc. With some moral support of Boris Grebenschikov (guru of russian rock) he comes to St. Petersburg. Here he records his solo album, named simply “Chizh” (“Siskin”) - it was published in vynil under label of “OsoAviaHim” (“Obschestvo Sodeistvia Oborone, Aviacionnomu i Himicheskomu stroitelstvu” - “Defence, Avia and Chemical Construction Supporting Society”).

    "Буги-Харьков", "Чиж", "Comeback", "Гайдном буду!", "Капель", "Про слонов", "Имена" - это альбомы, где Чиж выступает сольно, поэтому писать во всех тегах "Чиж & Co" не надо.

    Альбомы "Чиж", "Любимые песни Лукича" и "Гайдном буду" записаны без ...& Co. Не буду менять теги для этих пластинок.

    Чиж & Co — верный тег для этого исполнителя. Если текущий исполнитель появляется в ваших чартах, пожалуйста, исправьте теги в своих аудиофайлах.
