Юрий Шатунов

On September 6, 1973, Yuri Shatunov, a Russian singer and former member of the Laskovy May group, was born. He lost his mother early and was taken to the upbringing of his aunt, but not for long: soon the boy ended up in an orphanage, and then in a boarding school.

In 1986, Yuri met the head of the music club of the Orenburg boarding school, who helped him record his first songs.

And so the group "Tender May" was formed. But soon the line-up underwent changes: Sergey Serkov and Vyacheslav Ponomarev joined the guys. Then the group starts performing in discos and gradually its popularity grows.

In 1988, thanks to the efforts of Andrei Razin, the composition of the group was renewed again, and now it will exist in this form until 1992, until Shatunov decides to pursue a solo career.

In the same 1992, his first solo album was recorded under the ironic title "That is the end of May", but then the name changed to "You Know". The album went on sale in 1993.
