Popular singer Andrei Gubin almost completely stopped his stage activities, which deeply upset his fans. He is indifferent to social life. His appearances in public are so rare that any participation of Gubin in rating television programs becomes a significant event. Admirers of the singer's talent hope for his return to show business. The performer's dance and lyrical hits still attract the attention of listeners.

Biography facts

Andrei Gubin's real name is Klementyev. The singer was born in Ufa on April 30, 1974. The mother of the future composer Svetlana Viktorovna was a housewife. Stepfather, Viktor Viktorovich, worked as a researcher at the Research Institute of Oil and Gas Complexes. As a hobby, he drew cartoons for magazines, including the famous "Crocodile". Victor was able to find an approach to his adopted son. As a result, they developed a warm relationship. Andrey always called his stepfather dad and took his last name Gubin. Svetlana and Victor had a daughter in 1980, whom her parents named Anastasia.

early years

When the family moved from Ufa to Moscow, Andrey turned 8 years old. The adoptive father went into business. Due to difficulties with registration in the capital, parents had to often change rented apartments. The boy impressed his stepfather so much with his success at school that he decided to transfer the child directly to fourth grade after second grade.

Unfortunately, the parents' expectations were not met. Andrei found it difficult to cope with the program; mathematics was especially difficult for him. In addition, numerous moves and associated school changes negatively affected the boy’s emotional state and his ability to adapt socially. The child, experiencing stress from a constant change of environment, did not have time to become part of the new class or make friends.

As a child, Andrei was fond of chess. He continued this hobby into adulthood. While studying at school, Gubin was seriously involved in football. As a result of hard work, the boy was offered a place in the Moscow team. A broken leg made Gubin forget about his football career forever. The boy was painfully worried about having to give up playing football. Fortunately, he managed to switch to music lessons.

The dream of becoming a singer was hampered by a speech impediment - a strong burr, which is incompatible with professional performance of songs. The mother supported her son’s desire for a stage career and found good specialists. Soon the boy's speech became clear, he pronounced all the sounds correctly.

The singer's musical career is closely connected with his stepfather

, it was to him that Andrei dedicated his first poem. It so happened that Andrei received his first guitar as a gift from his adoptive father. While going through the chords, the future singer and composer realized that he could compose not only poetry, but also melodies.

As a teenager, Andrei was free-thinking and wrote songs on political topics. The teenager was not afraid to express his opinion in class, which negatively affected his grades in a number of subjects.

At the age of 15, Gubin tried his hand at journalism and writing. In 1989, the guy was a correspondent for the program “Under 16 and Over.” An unsuccessful interview with Andrei Makarevich for the young man led to his refusal to further advance in the profession.

Having received a school certificate with several bad marks, Andrei entered the Gnessin School. Studying seemed uninteresting to the young man. He was expelled for systematic absences from his first year. As a result, the singer did not receive a professional musical education. The biography of Andrei Gubin indicates that the lack of a diploma from a music school did not become an obstacle to his success on stage.

At this time, his stepfather's efforts brought results; he became a successful businessman. Viktor Viktorovich took the position of president of the commodity trading exchange and acquired ownership of several recording studios. Now nothing prevented Andrey from starting a musical career and devoting all his time to creative work.

Personal life

Secular languages ​​attribute to the performer numerous affairs with his protégés, colleagues and fans. The composer himself often said in interviews that he was unable to build a strong and lasting connection with anyone. According to the singer, he had serious relationships with three women:

1. The first girl with whom Andrei was ready to start a family was Lisa Sautina. The singer dedicated the hit “Liza” to her, which brought him popularity. The young people met on the subway, quickly became close and began to live together. The couple broke up due to the singer's busy touring schedule. The girl went abroad and got married there.
2. Andrei Gubin's relationship with his common-law wife Lyudmila Kobevko lasted a year and a half. Lucy was part of the Caramel group. Gubin became the group's producer. Kobevko was for some time a member of the ballet troupe with which Andrei worked.
3. Participating in the “Nineties” program on TVC, Gubin said that a tender feeling for Anastasia Starygina, the daughter of the famous actor Igor Starygin, remained in his heart forever. The girl starred in the video “Lisa”. She made such a deep impression on the singer that Andrei did not dare to attract attention to himself and court her.

The composer has never entered into an official marriage and has no children. Currently, the singer is not in a permanent relationship. The personal life of Andrei Gubin has not yet developed. The musician's younger sister is married, has a son and supports her older brother.

In 2021, a young man Maxim Kvasnyuk announced that he is the son of Andrei. Since the guy is actively pursuing a musical career, Gubin’s fans were quick to accuse Maxim of wanting to promote himself at the expense of the name of a famous person.

The young artist denied all accusations, claiming that he did not expect any help from Gubin. The problem was resolved thanks to a DNA test on Lera Kudryavtseva’s show “The Million Dollar Question.” It turned out that there is no family connection between the men.

Creative path

The song that made Andrei Gubin famous was the composition “Tramp Boy”. The young man performed it on the then popular program for teenagers “Under sixteen and older.”

The artist’s first album was called “I’m a Homeless Man.” It was published in a small edition of two hundred copies. The following unofficial collections were called "Ave Maria" and "Prince and Princess". For fans of Andrei Gubin's songs, these records are of exceptional value.

At the peak of popularity

Gubin's real fame came from his participation in the Slavutich-94 competition. It was there that a significant meeting with Leonid Agutin took place for Andrey’s musical career. After the young artist’s brilliant performance, Leonid offered him help in arranging songs and recording an album.

In 1996, Gubin released his first studio album

"Tramp Boy" The young performer became famous throughout the country. A crowd of fans followed their idol on tours and filming videos.

The next album was released in 2002 under the title “Only You”. With new songs, the singer traveled through major cities of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The second album raised the young man to a new wave of popularity. All compositions became hits and remained at the top of Russian music parades for a long time. Andrey easily gathered full houses of spectators.

Wide public recognition did not rid the composer of the complexes associated with his short stature (166 cm). “Star Factory-4” participant Anton Zatsepin performed Igor Nikolaev’s song “Only Gubin is shorter.” Andrey could not perceive the composition as a joke; his feelings were greatly hurt. At first, the young man wanted to sue Channel One and Anton Zatsepin, but then he challenged the author of the song to a duel. Gubin rented a hall to “fight” the offender hand-to-hand, but Igor Nikolaev refused to sort things out in any way.

In 1999, Gubin went to Canada to record an album in English. The attempt was unsuccessful. The foreign country turned out to be too calm and boring for the singer. Without writing a single English-language composition, Andrei returned to Russia.

Returning to his homeland, Gubin released another hit, “I Dream of You.” The song was enthusiastically received by the performer's fans and occupied the top of the charts for a long time.

Gubin’s third professional album was released under the title “It Was, But It’s Gone.” Admirers of the singer's talent highly appreciated the new songs of their idol, but music critics recognized the disc's compositions as weak and passable. Andrey was acutely sensitive to harsh statements and worked on the next album for almost two years.

In 2002, the professional album “Always with You” confirmed the singer’s star status. Gubin continued to write songs and shoot videos for them. Two years later, he released the collection “Time of the Romantics,” which included the best compositions of past years.

Working with other musicians in 2003-2004 turned out to be successful. The track “I’m always with you,” recorded together with Olga Orlova, took its rightful place in Gubin’s work. The hit “Those Who Love,” created by the composer with the group “Kraski,” enjoyed deserved popularity.

In 2007, the song “Lena” was released, but it did not receive recognition. Health problems and an unsettled personal life led to creative stagnation. In 2008, one of the last collections, The best+DVD, was released, which did not contain new compositions. Artist discography:

1. "The Boy Is a Tramp" (1995).
2. "Only You" (1998).
3. “It was, but it’s gone” (2000).
4. “Always with you” (2002).

The list of collector's editions and collections of the artist is more impressive. Today it includes:

1. The Best (2001).
2. VIP (2002).
3. "Platinum Collection" (2003).
4. “The Best - Time for Romantics” (2004).

Interrupted flight

In 2004, the singer was diagnosed with left-sided prosopalgia. This term refers to all pain that occurs in the facial area. The young man began to experience regular attacks of headaches and painful spasms of the facial muscles. The cause of the disease was constant mental stress.

The death of his father in 2007 was a heavy loss for the composer, which plunged Andrei into the abyss of depression. The next blow for Gubin was the closure of Ekaterina Gordon’s show in 2010, which the singer produced. From that moment on, he became officially unemployed. In 2012, the musician’s mother passed away, which provoked new attacks of depression. The composer returned to his hometown.

The pain in the facial area intensified. A full examination led to a disappointing result. Doctors claimed that the nature of the disease was psychosomatic and therefore difficult to treat. Now Andrei, like some pop stars (Levkin, Laima Vaikule, Joseph Kobzon and others), was forced to fight a terrible illness. Fate presented Gubin with a test. Having started a successful musical career in his youth, the singer was unable to continue it due to a serious illness.

Life circumstances pushed the composer to alcohol abuse. To get rid of addiction, Gubin had to undergo treatment in clinics of the appropriate profile. The composer visited Thailand and traveled to holy places to restore peace of mind.

In 2012, the artist took part in Andrei Malakhov’s “Let Them Talk” program, in which he spoke about his life. The singer does not give up and bravely fights nervous system disease and depression. Sports help - cycling and working out in the gym. A long-time passion for chess helps keep the intellect in working order.

Now Andrey leads a rather secluded and modest lifestyle, using income from song copyrights and savings. In an interview with StarHit magazine, the composer complained of loneliness. Attempts to build strong relationships have so far been unsuccessful.

In 2021, news about Gubin’s possible return to show business spread across the Internet. Producer Taras Vashchyshyn said that the composer is recording a new disc in Ufa. The singer does not plan to participate in concerts. The implementation of creative plans is hampered by the state of severe depression that constantly haunts Gubin.
