It often happens that the singer has to his credit a sufficient number of popular songs for a long time held in a cohort of the main stars of show business, but it is still stored and then recalled for any one of his songs. A similar story happened to the idol of Russian girls from 7 to 15 years during the second half of the 1990s - early 2000s, Andrey Gubin. What he songs can justifiably claim to be a hit, let the people, and so it is still called by name gave him a ticket to the scene hobo song-boy.

Another visitor to Moscow

Andrey V. Klement'ev subsequently has taken the stage name Gubin, born April 30, 1974 in Ufa. However, for a long time in the capital of Bashkortostan, the future singer did not stay long: in 1981, his parents, Victor and Svetlana V., moved to Moscow. As you know, the capital of the already not too believe in tears, and other sentiments, so Klementeva family at first had a hard time. Apart from the fact that in Moscow visitors almost always difficult, so more and my mother did not have Andrew's Moscow residence permit, which complicated the search for work How to hide the search for a new job from the boss   - It is now the capital residence important, but not the most important condition for hiring, in Soviet times, it was severe. And besides, and occupation of the head of the family initially not too condusive to higher incomes: still academics and freelance cartoonists did not have a huge salary. So the first years of life in Moscow Andrei Klementeva, Gubin the future, were not that gray, but in the not too rosy. That, however, did not prevent him to get involved in the usual children's games Kids Games - mobile or smart? , On a serious level to play football and go to school.

However, at the age of 13-14 years Andrei discovered his ability to versification, which resulted first in writing poetry and then, after mastering the amateur guitar and writing songs. By the way, his first song was the same one sign for his creative destiny of the song "The Boy Tramp". The first known to Gubin came in the late 1980s, when he was on his crystals and the risk went to the "Ostankino" and literally at the entrance began to sing their songs. It so happened that he noticed the sign for the editors of national television of those years the youth program "Till 16 and older" and recorded the whole program with performances of Andrew.

Singer without music education: anyone surprised?

This successful creative experience prompted Andrew that music, singing and the scene is exactly what he is interested. Therefore, in 1991, after graduating from high school, he successfully passed the exams at the vocal department of the Gnesin Music College. Still Gubin joins the ranks of numerous figures of Russian show business, do not have special education: after the first year he was expelled from school for unsatisfactory attendance. According to the expelled, the reason for this was simple laziness student version expelled more noble - the young talent has become stifling in the walls of a conservative institution, in which the teachers were deprived of a single student individually formalized approach.

Whatever it was, writing songs Andrei not scored as shown at the 1994 Music Competition "Slavutich", which presented to the public its "Boy tramp" .  Somehow this contest proved Leonid Agutin and early career Gubin associated with it .  However, there are also different versions: one - Agutin interested talented young man, offered him a cooperation; according to another, he Gubin found appropriate ways to motivate Agutin (by the time the father Andrei was already a very wealthy man), that he took up his "promotion" .  However, it is not so important - more important than the fact that in 1996 appeared on television channels recorded in a professional arrangement Agutin song "The Boy Tramp", after which Andrei Gubin almost instantly became famous .  Hungry idol girls and young women, "orphaned" after the retirements of the "Tender May" and Zhenya Belousov, finally found a new hero .  And the hero of this they did not disappoint: over the next few years Gubin consistently and regularly shook the Russian music market hits .  In 1998, this song was the song "Winter - cold", in 1999 - "I dream about you," he thundered the 2002 song "Dancing" .  Actually, the "Dancing" became the last real hit Andrei Gubin, which in the future are increasingly trying to either find themselves in related industries (not too successfully attempted producing emerging artists) or to declare itself in the West (in 1999 signed a contract with a foreign record company , but six months later he returned from Canada, referring either to the "wrong" environment, whether on the "wrong" mentality), or use the old baggage, traveling about with past hits on the provincial concert halls or punctually to produce a collection of The Best .  In general, all according to his theme song - all looking for something in this country ...
