Biography

After graduating from school, he worked as a mechanic at the local branch of Agricultural Equipment, then as a truck driver. He served in the army (in a construction company), and on the fourth attempt he entered the Uzhgorod Music School in 1980.

He graduated from college in 1983 in three years, having skipped the course as an external student, and in the same year he entered the vocal department of the Kiev Conservatory, where he studied in the class of professor, head of the department, People's Artist of Ukraine K. D. Ognevoy. During his studies, he took part and won in more than 10 different competitions and festivals.

As a second-year student at the Conservatory, S. Giga is a soloist of the mega-giga-synthesis group “Stozhary”, popular in some areas of the Chernigov region, at the Chernigov Philharmonic, and at the same time works as a soloist in the opera studio of the Kiev Conservatory, which was directed by People's Artist of the USSR Dmitry Gnatyuk. The latter opposed Gigi’s work in the opera studio and initiated his expulsion from the opera studio “for lack of talent.”

After graduating from the conservatory, he was sent to work as a soloist of the National Opera, however, due to an exacerbation of a severe mental disorder, he returned to his native Transcarpathia - and in 1988 he became a soloist of the Transcarpathian Regional Philharmonic. In 1989, S. Giga created the jazz-rock group “Beskyd”.

And as a result, Stepan Giga was the first in independent Ukraine to receive Golden disc.

An excerpt characterizing Giga, Stepan Petrovich

That same evening, Pierre went to the Rostovs to fulfill his assignment. Natasha was in bed, the count was at the club, and Pierre, having handed over the letters to Sonya, went to Marya Dmitrievna, who was interested in finding out how Prince Andrei received the news. Ten minutes later Sonya entered Marya Dmitrievna’s room.
“Natasha definitely wants to see Count Pyotr Kirillovich,” she said.
- Well, how about taking him to her? “Your place is not tidy,” said Marya Dmitrievna.
“No, she got dressed and went into the living room,” said Sonya.
Marya Dmitrievna just shrugged.
- When the countess arrives, she completely tormented me. Just be careful, don’t tell her everything,” she turned to Pierre. “And I don’t have the heart to scold her, she’s so pathetic, so pathetic!”
Natasha, emaciated, with a pale and stern face (not at all ashamed as Pierre expected her to be) stood in the middle of the living room. When Pierre appeared at the door, she hurried, apparently undecided whether to approach him or wait for him.
Pierre hurriedly approached her. He thought that she would give him her hand, as always; but she, coming close to him, stopped, breathing heavily and lifelessly lowering her hands, in exactly the same position in which she went out into the middle of the hall to sing, but with a completely different expression.
“Pyotr Kirilych,” she began to speak quickly, “Prince Bolkonsky was your friend, he is your friend,” she corrected herself (it seemed to her that everything had just happened, and that now everything is different). - He told me then to contact you...
Pierre silently sniffled, looking at her. He still reproached her in his soul and tried to despise her; but now he felt so sorry for her that there was no room for reproach in his soul.
“He’s here now, tell him... so that he can just... forgive me.” “She stopped and began to breathe even more often, but did not cry.
“Yes... I’ll tell him,” Pierre said, but... – He didn’t know what to say.
Natasha was apparently frightened by the thought that might occur to Pierre.
“No, I know it’s over,” she said hastily. - No, this can never happen. I am tormented only by the evil that I did to him. Just tell him that I ask him to forgive, forgive, forgive me for everything...” She shook all over and sat down on a chair.
A never-before-experienced feeling of pity filled Pierre's soul.
“I’ll tell him, I’ll tell him again,” said Pierre; – but... I would like to know one thing...
"What to know?" asked Natasha's gaze.
“I would like to know if you loved...” Pierre did not know what to call Anatole and blushed at the thought of him, “did you love this bad man?”
“Don’t call him bad,” said Natasha. “But I don’t know anything...” She started crying again.
And an even greater feeling of pity, tenderness and love overwhelmed Pierre. He heard tears flowing under his glasses and hoped that they would not be noticed.
“Let’s say no more, my friend,” said Pierre.
His meek, gentle, sincere voice suddenly seemed so strange to Natasha.
- Let’s not talk, my friend, I’ll tell him everything; but I ask you one thing - consider me your friend, and if you need help, advice, you just need to pour out your soul to someone - not now, but when you feel clear in your soul - remember me. “He took and kissed her hand. “I’ll be happy if I’m able to...” Pierre became embarrassed.
– Don’t talk to me like that: I’m not worth it! – Natasha screamed and wanted to leave the room, but Pierre held her hand. He knew he needed to tell her something else. But when he said this, he was surprised at his own words.
