Alexey Fyodorovich Vishnya is a musician, vocalist, poet, songwriter and sound engineer.
Alexey Vishnya was born in Leningrad. His parents from the late 1950s to the early 1960s worked in Latin America, from where they brought an extensive collection of records, and later encouraged their son's passion for music by buying him equipment.
At the age of 12, Vishnya became interested in cinema, as a result of which he enrolled in courses for projectionists and photojournalists at the House of Technology and Career Guidance, while attending an acoustics and sound recording circle, whose teacher was Andrei Tropillo in the spring of 1980. He made his debut as an independent sound engineer under the supervision of Tropillo at the turn of the 80s. He assisted Tropillo and Boris Grebenshchikov on the recording of the album 45.
