On the screen, he hides his “I” under the mask of a jester. But only a very inattentive viewer will not guess that a smart and bright person is hiding under it. He is popular and in demand, but at the same time he did not become a slave to success. And it seems that he has yet to find the main thing in life. Alexander Pushnoy leafs through an album with family photos and comments on the most important.

“I am a father. I will cease to be only when I myself cease to exist. Probably, I can call myself a “musician” – better in quotation marks, so that later I would not be called a non-musician. But to die for the sake of this profession, to cross out my life, my family in order to become a musician, is not for me. I’m probably a good person. It’s very hard for me to offend people. In creative matters, I am quite tough, I can argue, yell, defend my own. But life is soft. Especially when it comes to the issue of “negotiating a salary”. I don’t associate myself completely with TV because it’s a temporary story. And what I will be in 50 years, I have no idea. In this sense, I am a fatalist. My reasoning is this: you should do what brings pleasure, and understand why you need it, and then see if you can make money here. “I’m looking for the exact sound” “I made my first bass guitar myself: sawed out the board and attached to it a neutral neck, which I took at school. And now I have a Gibson Les Paul Classic. The longer I live with her, the more she means to me. I have been looking for a sound for a long time, I don’t know if I found it, but I’m definitely moving in this direction. I understand that the shades of sound that I catch are up to the audience. But for me it is a special and very important color of life.”
