The biography of Andrei Gubin is quite interesting. He hails from Ufa, was born on April 30, 1974. According to the passport, the real name is Andrey Klementev. The surname Gubin Andrey took at age 16, this is the name of his stepfather. At the age of 8, little Andrei and his family moved to Moscow.
The beginning of the creative path
As a child, he was engaged in chess, and drawing, and football. He was even accepted into the youth football team of Moscow. But when Andrei broke his leg, his football career ended. Friendship with journalism also did not work out. Andrei Gubin interviewed Makarevich, then outlined it on paper. The result did not impress the young man at all, and he forever decided to quit journalism. But his songs became hits. By the way, the hit "Tramp Boy" was written in the 7th grade by schoolboy Andrei Gubin.
The first album was released when Gubin was 15 years old. Of course, his circulation was very small, only 200 copies. The album was called "I'm Homeless." It was an unprofessional disc with teenager songs with a guitar. Then 2 more non-professional albums came out: "Ave Maria" and "Prince and Princess".
Andrei Gubin entered the Vocal School at the Gnesinsky College, but was expelled from the first year due to frequent absenteeism. Andrei never received a musical education. On television, he first appeared in the program "Under 16 and older." The next time he sang a song in the television show "Glance". Of great importance in the career of Andrei, as a singer, was Leonid Agutin. There was a competition "Slavitich-94", where Andrei Gubin took part.
His biography continues with the participation of Agutin. He drew attention to a young, talented guy and helped him release his first professional album. It was called the same as the first song - "The Tramp Boy". The album was a crazy success, sold a huge circulation. As they say, Gubin woke up famous. None of the subsequent albums managed to repeat such a grand success. In 1998, at the age of 24, Gubin released another studio album - "Only You."
Successful tours began throughout the country, and beyond, in Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. 2 years later, in 2000, the next album was released - "It was, but it's gone." In 2001 - "The Best". But Gubin stopped touring. 2002 was the last year in which his album - Always With You - was released. Then there were various works as an arranger, songwriter and even producer. The last song that the author sang was "Tenderness" (in 2009). Since then, Gubin has not performed and has not recorded new songs. The reason for this is a rare serious illness, the name of which is left-sided prosopalgia. With this disease, the singer experiences severe pain in the facial muscles.
Which celebrity did Andrei Gubin work with?
His biography would not be complete without important people in his life. He wrote a song for Jeanne Friske "La la la la", which brought fame to her as a solo artist. He also wrote lyrics for Olga Orlova, Mike Mironenko, Julia Beretta, performed together with the group "Paints", Alexandra Balakireva.
What is Andrey Gubin doing now?
Favorite of the public of the 90s, his songs sounded from every kiosk. In recent years, they completely forgot about him. Andrey Gubin - his biography is very bright. Where is he now and what does he do? He lives in Moscow, then leaves for a long time to travel to other countries, to Germany, Canada, Thailand, Egypt and even Tibet. Now Gubin is far from show business, although he does not stop writing. Singer Andrei Gubin told why he is not in public. He explained that he looks bad now, and therefore does not speak. If he gets in shape, he will sing, until he is ready. He writes poetry and music all the time, but for himself, for training. Today the race of the 1990s lives a reclusive life, does not speak, does not give interviews. But recently, the yellow press spoke about him again. The fact is that new photos of the star appeared on which he looks much older than his years. In a man with numerous wrinkles and long hair, it’s hard to recognize a perky boy. The thing is a serious illness, because of which it is difficult for the singer to speak, not to sing. But Gubin (his photo is rarely seen now) is actively involved in sports, does not abuse alcohol, lives in harmony with himself.
Family of Andrei Gubin
The mother of the singer Svetlana was a housewife, was engaged in raising children - Andrei and his younger sister Nastya. She was a very beautiful woman, the singer inherited facial features from her. Andrey’s relationship with his mother has always been very warm and friendly. For him, mother was the ideal of a woman. He loved to come to her and get into quiet home comfort and complete reliability. The death of his mother in 2012, Andrei was very hard.
The singer’s father is Victor. In fact, this is his stepfather, but Andrei always treated him like his own father. For the scene, the guy chose his last name - Gubin. Victor worked as a researcher, moonlighting as a drawing. Their relationship was complicated. From 9 to 25 years they were in a state of undeclared war. As Gubin admitted, his father constantly sculpted something out of him - either a chess player, then a tennis player, then an artist, or a journalist. Although, of course, it is impossible not to recognize his role in the fate of the artist. After all, it was his father who bought him the first guitar, put forward to various competitions and recorded his first albums, becoming his producer. Only in 1998, when after the crisis, my father went bankrupt, did relations with Andrei normalize. Then Viktor Viktorovich saw in his son not only a boy accustomed to a beautiful life, but also a man, a real man, who would be with his family at a difficult moment.
Andrey’s sister is Nastya. She studied at a music school for 4 years, but then she finally became convinced that this was not hers and left. I decided to study at VGIK in the economic department, to be in show business, but on the other hand, behind the scenes. Nastya explains this by saying that she is too modest a person. With a brother in good relations, they often see each other, but everyone has their own life, like all independent people.
Personal life
The lull is now not only in the career of the singer, but also in his personal life. He is 41 years old, but he has never been married and has no children either. In the 1990s, fans simply didn’t give a pretty talented young man an aisle. He was never deprived of female attention, but his personal life did not work out, and now Andrei Gubin is single. His biography, his personal life did not always develop smoothly. He admitted that he always wanted a family, there was no thought to remain in bachelors. His wife, he saw a girl who could become a mother to his children. And there were three such girls. But relations with them did not work out. For a while, Gubin had a love relationship with Julia Beretta, for whom he also became a producer. After parting with her, their relationship remained friendly.
