Arthur Shmygin, aka rapper Luxor, was born in Buryatia in the city of Ulan-Ude on December 26, 1990. His father was a military man, and therefore he grew up in accordance with strict rules and discipline. The rise was at 8 am, and before 12 at night it was necessary to go to bed.
But his father always welcomed Arthur's passion for music. It seemed to him that it would be better if his son spent time in creativity, rather than get in touch with bad company, which would lead him to problems.
Growing up
At school age, Shmygin went in for sports. He did not think that he would become a rapper, since he was not particularly interested in music. Only after graduation, he became a student at VSSTU, specializing in real estate appraiser and discovered the work of rap singers: "50 CENT" and "Eminem".
He began to train on their example and soon wrote the first texts. Only after some time did he pluck up the courage and showed the work to Alaguy Egorov, who is his old friend. He appreciated them and wrote music to them.
In childhood, Arthur played football and did not think about being like someone. He managed to live here and now, not thinking about the future. He is fluent in Buryat, Russian and English.
Career
Arthur Shmygin and Alaguy recorded their debut album in six months. Only then they realized that it was not worth releasing it in circulation. The second attempt was more successful. More than 200 copies of the album were published, which were bought in 1 day.
Luxor performed in clubs at this time. In 2015, his track on the network "You are under the influence" became very popular. Following this, he released several more songs and history repeated itself. In 2015, the video clip "My Brother" was released.
4 days later he released the track "Impulse" with Alaguy and presented the track "XXX" and shot a video for it. The year was very fruitful, Luxor continued to delight fans with his work, shot videos and released songs.
Today Luxor is still in demand. He presented a video for the tracks "LUV" in 2017, as well as "Big Carnage", published the video "Goddess", released the songs "Outro" and "Networks".
In early 2018, Luxor presented a work with Alaguy "Fashion", "Balenciaga", in March presented the tracks "Brunetka" and "Vesel and Drunk". Now Luxor is busy working on the EP, which was supposed to come out much earlier, but Arthur delayed a little.
He calls the most difficult thing in his work - the ability to turn off the phone, forget about the world around him and gather his thoughts to write new poems. He draws his inspiration from creativity, admitting that for him this activity brings incredible pleasure.
Personal life
It is known that Arthur is married to a girl named Alexandra. Their wedding took place on August 19, 2017. He does not often give interviews, and he does not particularly like to share news from his personal life, but once noted that he was very lucky, since next to him is the love of his life.
Alexandra accepts him for who he is, turning a blind eye to financial problems, because a lot of money has to be invested in development in creativity.
Hobbies and interesting facts
- Arthur believes that when he earns money in such an amount that he realizes that there is already enough of it, he will build a shelter for dogs, as he has always been not indifferent to them.
- He considers the leader of the group "King and Jester" M. Gorshenev to be his favorite performer.
- He prefers to spend his time in a relaxed manner. He sleeps until lunchtime.
- He presents his ideal vacation with his wife at the sea with a glass of Bacardi Black and mango.
- Arthur admits that he tries to stay away from people who pretend to be more than they really are. He never understood those who play someone else's role, giving up their own "I".
The lead singer of the rap group from Buryatia Luxor Arthur Shmygin seems to be gaining momentum in the world of music at the federal level. Not so long ago he released new videos for the songs "Goddess" and "Luv". At the end of June, Artur gave an interview to the fashionable Russian edition of SNC media. And the other day the rapper announced that his track "Luv" has now appeared in the rotation of the radio station Love radio.
SNC's questions are answered by representatives of two different directions in music: the Russian rap artist LUXOR (Arthur Shmygin) and the harpist and head of the Arfasound music project Yana Khurumova. Feel the difference.
SNCMedia:What is the hardest part of being a musician?
LUXOR: It's hard to turn off your phone, disconnect from the outside world, collect your thoughts under a loud sound, start writing poetry ...
Yana Khurumova: The most difficult thing is to combine an artist, manager and producer. If you concentrate on only one thing, the other is lame, so I try to work 24/7 and keep up with everything.
SNCMedia: What are your creative plans for the rest of the year?
LUXOR: Finish the long-running EP by September and give it to the masses well.
Yana Khurumova: To release the first Arfasound album.
SNCMedia: What inspires you?
LUXOR: Inspiration is a word from the past. Alas, now it looks like a chore that requires time and peace of mind. But creativity is an indescribable thrill, and there will always be time for a thrill!
Yana Hurumova: My main inspiration is the clouds that envelop the mountains at dawn, these are giant soaring rays in the Barcelona aquarium, these are fantastic sunsets in Ibiza, these are hot air balloon flights in Dubai, breakfasts in Paris at Cafe Des Deux Moulins, the Colosseum in Rome. ..
SNCMedia: If you do not live in Moscow, then where?
LUXOR: In St. Petersburg, Sochi, Thailand or London - where it is warm or very romantic ...
Yana Khurumova: In Italy.
SNCMedia:What do you care about money for?
LUXOR: If you have money, then you don't mind. If I had a lot of money, I would build a shelter for dogs, I'm too partial to these animals.
Yana Khurumova: For education and self-development.
SNCMedia. Your favorite performer.
LUXOR: Mikhail Gorshenev (The King and the Fool).
Yana Khurumova: Sting. My dream is to perform with him on the same stage.
SNCMedia: What is the perfect vacation like?
LUXOR: I haven't been on vacation. And on weekends, it's ideal to sleep before lunch, wake up and drink Bacardi Black, eat mango, look at the smile of your beloved and at the sea.
Yana Khurumova: For me it is peace and quiet. In order to gain impressions and strength for new concerts, I go on a journey where I draw inspiration. I see happy people speaking different languages, friendly and hospitable, amazing countries with their flavor, and I return home filled with impressions and images for a new program.
SNCMedia: Are you afraid of competition? And how many competitors do you have?
LUXOR: No, it seems to me that every musician has his own handwriting, everyone writes and hears in their own way ... Competition is inappropriate here, I am for creativity with all my heart, I am a music lover, I am happy when I hear something cool, something like that, whatever I do.
Yana Khurumova: No.
SNCMedia: Who did you want to be as a kid?
LUXOR: As a child, I did not have specific idols and goals, I lived, played football, played dirty and in fact I would never have thought that I would really live in those minutes when the music is playing.
Yana Khurumova: A doctor.
SNCMedia: How many languages do you know?
LUXOR: Russian, English, Buryat, the last two are weak, but with people who know them, I will find common ground and resolve the issue with understanding. I am working on it now because I feel like a Neanderthal.
Yana Hurumova: English, German, Latin and the language of music.
SNCMedia: What annoys you a lot?
LUXOR: I am annoyed by people who try to seem bigger than they are. Although, perhaps, it is more fun. In general, I am very calm, and everything that annoys me I leave in the gym. Oh yes! It annoys me 2 months to eat boiled chicken, fish, buckwheat and rice so that the stomach goes away, and then drink beer, for example, or eat a burger and all down the drain, but I hold on. And why am I not an ectomorph?
Yana Khurumova: It is very annoying in people to be unprofessional and frivolous in their business.

Luxor photo Luxor rapper
Arthur Shmygin, this is the name of the Russian rap artist gaining popularity, performing under the stage name Luxor, was born on December 26, 1990, in the city of Ulan-Ude, Republic of Buryatia, Russia. Practically from the very birth, the boy was taught discipline. Since the father of the future musician was a military man, life was scheduled by the minute. Exactly at 8.00 we rise, at 00.00 we go out.
But, despite all his severity, his father treated all his son's undertakings positively, pointing out that it is better to make music than to walk through the doorways with bad company.
Arthur was fond of sports at school, and he could hardly have imagined that one day music would become for him something more than just turn on the player and put on headphones.
Luxor before it became famous
In 2006, the future rapper successfully passed his school exams and entered the VSSTU, a real estate appraiser by profession. Arthur became interested in hip-hop culture when he was 17 years old, after getting acquainted with the work of such famous musicians as "", "Eminem" and others. While training on the works of Western performers, the young man writes his first texts. Only after a lapse of time, he decided to show his work to a childhood friend - Alaguy Egorov. The composer liked the lyrics, he wrote music for them. This is how the first tracks were recorded.

Only once, in one of his few interviews, he said that he had found the love of his life, a girl who accepts him for who he is, regardless of his financial situation and career growth. But warm words were spoken in 2009. It is possible that a lot has changed over the years.

LUXOR FUN AND DRUNK From childhood, the young man was accustomed to discipline and dedication, as he grew up in a military family. At the age of 17, an interest in rap music appeared. Such popular rap singers as "Eminem" and "50cent" inspire the young man to his own creativity. But it was not immediately decided on a musical career, after graduating from school, Arthur even enters the university with a degree in real estate appraiser. Only years later, Arthur decides to show the lyrics to his close friend, Alaguy Egorov. The composer appreciated his friend's work and began to write music for lyrics. This is how co-creation begins.
First steps in creativity
Thanks to the purposefulness of the young man, the work process is rapidly gaining momentum. Already, for the first, some six months, an album is being recorded, but after listening, a decision is made not to release it. This fact does not in the least affect the young man's fuse, and later the first disc in 200 copies was released. All discs are being sold at a breakneck speed!
Arthur gives performances in various clubs and at one of his performances gathers more than two thousand spectators. The first song "Under the influence" appears on the Internet on April 4, 2015. The work continues to boil, in the same year a number of fruits of the joint creativity of this team are released:
- "Running away"
- "I would go to her"
- "Wings"
- "Pulse"
- "Don't be fooled"
- "VIP".
There are releases on video clips: "My brother", "XXX", "Asian". In 2016, a video clip for the song "Save Baikal" was released. He gets fame thanks to the video "Demons".
Personal life
Arthur prefers to keep the details of his personal life secret. And only in one of his interviews in 2009, he admitted that he had met a girl who understands him. But since that time, many things have changed. We can only make assumptions, since no information on this issue was announced in the press.
Modern sound
At the Bolshoi Rap festival in Moscow, Luxor performed on the same stage with Russian rap artists such as Kasta, 25/17, Noize Mc, ST and others. It seems that the work of a talented performer is gaining momentum in Russian show business. More than one album has already been released and its own corporate style has finally been formed. The track "LUV" appeared in rotation on Love radio. It is distinguished by a laconic style, combining lyrics and brutal presentation.
A number of tracks have been released recently:
- "Great massacre"
- "Goddess"
- "Networks"
- "Aromas"
- "Fashionable"
- "Brunette"
- "Merry and drunk" and others.
In his interviews, Arthur says that creativity is an indescribable thrill for him and the main thing here is not to copy anyone, but to remain himself. Rivalry for a musician does not exist, since everyone has their own individual style, everyone puts a piece of themselves, their thoughts into creativity. The success of everyone, according to him, is in self-expression. He respects the creativity and success of his colleagues.
In his interview to "A Minute from Life" he says that he does not think that he has talent and that this is just painstaking, daily work. When asked about the possibility of a duet with any performer, the rapper replies that he would like to record a remix of the song "Snow" by Philip Kirkorov and is a longtime admirer of the talent of the late Mikhail Gorshenyov, the lead singer of the "King and Jester" group. At the moment, Arthur is working on the release of the EP, which is slightly delayed. Also, according to Arthur, he is looking for new, more original ideas for his video clips, as he considers all his latest clips to be a little of the same type.

There is no reliable information about the young man's parents, it is only known that the father held a military position, which greatly affected the boy's childhood. At home there was an atmosphere of severity and discipline, every day of the young man was scheduled by the minute, like in a real army.
The influence of his father left a strong imprint on his character and life, in one interview he said that he was infinitely grateful to him for a good moral upbringing and instilling a sense of justice. Despite the severity, the dad of our hero was democratic about his every serious step, he did not mind when the guy chose a musical career.
It often happens that the son of a military man follows in his footsteps and devotes his life to defending his homeland, but this did not happen to Arthur. The guy did not plan to wear a military uniform and grew up as a pacifist. During his studies in high school, our hero was actively involved in sports and tried to participate in every event in the life of the educational institution, went to training camps and competitions.

Gradually, the guy gets to know the famous foreign performers "50 Cent", "Eminem", which greatly inspire and motivate him. It was from this moment that he began to write poetry and lyrics, using foreign musicians as an example.
Arthur can no longer hold creativity in himself, he needed a splash, so he shows his work to a friend from an educational institution with similar tastes.
A friend's name was Alaguy Egorov, he really liked the work of Arthur, after that he comes up with a backing track for the poems he wrote. Thus, the first compositions of the young duo appear. At that time, it was only a passing hobby, and none of them imagined that it would result in something more.
Gradually, young people have new tracks that begin to like not only them, but also those around them. As a result, they take seriously the creative activity that leads them to high popularity. Currently, Luxor is a well-known and sought-after performer who has a busy touring schedule and many high-quality releases.

Arthur's songs and duets
So, let's go back to the past when our hero, together with a friend, recorded his first track. From this moment his professional career begins. Thoughts and new texts began to flow like a river, not even a year had passed since the guys released their first collection. But after listening to the compositions several times, they thought that the material was too raw and should not be put on sale. Therefore, the album appeared abruptly and also suddenly disappeared. It was a wonderful experience that pushed them to work harder and develop themselves.
Soon after the unsuccessful release, they released a new disc, this time they were all satisfied. After that, our hero releases it in 200 copies on media. According to Arthur, further events shocked him, the collections were sold out in just one day, there was not a single free disc left. Moreover, they were sold only in one place. At that moment, he realized that they had a serious chance to declare themselves.
They did not stop at recording musical compositions, followed by constant concerts in their hometown of Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk. The audience was delighted with the rising star, as a result, the rumor about them began to spread at a breakneck speed in their native places. Particularly memorable for Arthur was the concert in the club called "Panorama". That evening he gathered more than two thousand listeners in the hall. Success was guaranteed.
