For many years, Pozitiv (Aleksii Zavgorodniy) was a member of many Ukrainian bands, but the greatest popularity came to him in a duet with Nadeya Dorofeeva – “Vremya i Steklo”. Interesting fact – today, May 19, the singer celebrates his 37th birthday.
On this occasion, Channel 24 offers to learn some facts from the musician's life and track how Oleksiy Zavgorodny has changed over the years.
Let's start with the fact that Oleksiy was born into a creative family. His father was a theater director, his mother was a ballerina, and his grandfather directed the Ukrainian choir named after Hryhoriy Veryovka. Therefore, it will not be news to anyone that this influenced Zavhorodny's future.

Over the years of the duo's existence, the styles of both members changed. This most affected their hairstyles and clothing style. After 10 years of existence, Nadia and Alexei announced their breakup. Each of the artists went their own way.
Pozitiv was also part of the Moзgi project (formerly Mozgi), and then started a solo project under the name POSITIFF. Several successful songs appeared in his repertoire, and his image shifted to a more lyrical, yet sophisticated one.

Personal life
Anna Andriychuk became Pozitiv's first wife. Oleksiy fell in love with the girl in his teens. Finally, in 2013, the couple played a wedding.

But in 2021, the couple announced their divorce. In addition, before this statement, the couple had not lived together for several years.
Later it became known that the singer is in a relationship with dancer Yulia Sakhnevych. As is known, the lovers are already married. In December 2024, the couple became parents for the first time.
Fatherhood suits Alexei very well. The photo and video clearly show how the musician treats his daughter and wife tenderly. The positive is no longer the rebellious young man, but an adult man who has decided to take serious steps in his life.
