Artik and Asti group personal life. Asti and Artik talked about their personal, behind-the-scenes life

Anna Dzyuba (stage name Asti) is a Ukrainian talented singer, part of the duet Artik & Asti.

Singer Asti: biography of a popular performer

Anna was born on June 24, 1990 in the city of Cherkassy, Ukraine. The future celebrity spent his childhood there. The singer’s family still lives there to this day. Before plunging into the world of show business, the girl tried herself in several areas. She worked as a lawyer and was a makeup artist.

In interviews, she said more than once that in her life she never thought that stage and songs were her calling. But despite this, as a child Anna loved to sing and tried in every possible way to perform at various events. She was not afraid of the stage and felt quite confident on it. But this didn’t happen to seriously think about a singer’s career.

Way to success

The musical career of singer Asti began with meeting Artik; now he is the producer and author of their joint duet called Artik & Asti.

He searched for Anya for a long time, since he accidentally heard her voice on the Internet. One evening Artik called her and suggested that she try to record one song and see what happens. After a couple of recordings, they suddenly realized that they were “in tune”, and then it all began. Anna arrived in Moscow for the first time in 2013, at that time she was incredibly scared, because the city was large and unfamiliar and the people were so strangers. But the girl felt that changes were coming and, upon arriving in Moscow, she realized that the city had accepted her.

The singer gained popularity with the release of the composition and video for it in 2011, “My Last Hope,” which was shown on all channels and played on all radio broadcasts. The video for this song has collected about a million views on YouTube. Listeners instantly fell in love with the performer for her unusual deep and sensual voice.

Their duo released three albums, these are:

in 2013 “#ParadiseOneForTwo”;
in 2015 “Here and Now”;
in 2017 "number 1".

The singer's personal life

Singer Asti tries not to talk about her personal life, so we know little. But judging by photos from social networks, she is dating a young man and is very happy. In addition, Anya communicates well with her boyfriend’s mother, as evidenced by their pictures together. Singer Asti values in men, first of all, a sense of humor, courage and understanding of how to behave with a beloved.

Business

Every day, Asti receives questions from fans about her style and appearance - hair styling, makeup, manicure and clothing. Therefore, the girl decided to open her own beauty salon to not only tell, but also show how to create a chic image.

On September 9, at the SATRAPEZO restaurant there was a party in honor of the opening of the singer Asti’s new salon, which was attended by celebrity guests such as Ella, Danya, Basil and Loya and others.

Asti (Asti, real name Anna Dzyuba) is a successful singer of the duo Artik & Asti.

Asti (Anna) was born on June 24, 1990, in the city of Cherkasy in Ukraine. Anya spent her childhood in the city of Cherkassy, on the banks of the Dnieper. To this day, this is where Anya’s family lives.

Anna tried herself in different professions, was an assistant lawyer, and a makeup artist. In her interviews, Anya admits that she never thought about becoming a singer.

Here's what Asti says about how her childhood went:

“I loved music since childhood, sang at all possible events, I liked the audience, I liked the stage. But I could never imagine this as real, I didn’t think seriously about a career as a singer. So one fine evening Artik called me and it all started "It was from that moment. We tried to record a couple of test songs together and "sang together" so to speak."

Asti first came to Moscow in 2013. Then Anna was even scared, since for her it was a new, big, unfamiliar city.

“I was used to living in my pink little world, I was absolutely comfortable there, but at some point, I felt that this was a definite step forward, this was something interesting in life. I felt with my feminine intuition that something was waiting for me... something big and special. When my friend and I were talking about Moscow, she told me that I would immediately understand, as soon as I took my first step in this city, whether Moscow accepted me or not. Be it a train station or an airport. And when I took the first step, I immediately felt an incredible surge of energy, I felt the metropolis."

Asti gained fame as a singer after the song “My Last Hope” was released into rotation in November 2011.

“Back then I couldn’t even think that my career would be somehow connected with show business, because I was living the ordinary life of an ordinary person in a small town and one day my phone rang, it was Artik. It happened so unexpectedly, I was nervous then walked around the room in circles. He looked for me for a very long time, found out my number, through unknown acquaintances, found me through the 10th generation. By the way, I still don’t know the details of these stories, Artik will be able to explain how he did it (laughs) But if he needs something, it seems to me that he will get it out of the ground."

The singer says.

It is worth noting that at concerts Anya always sings to minus, that is, live.

At the moment, Asti is completely absorbed in work. Asti's voice is incredibly recognizable not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in many cities and countries.

Personal life of singer Asti (Asti, Anna Dzyuba)

Very little is known about the personal life of singer Asti. But despite this, it is known that Asti (Anna) is dating a young man.

Anya communicates well with her boyfriend’s mother, as evidenced by the photographs on the blog.

“Every family loves in its own way. Each love is unique. When you give love, you always receive a hundred times more love in return)) Only mine is not enough,” writes Anya.

Relationship between Artik and Asti

The duet was received positively by the public from the very beginning. But rumors began to circulate that Artyom and Anna were dating. There are only friendly relations between them and cooperation.

Artyom has a wife whose name is Ramina, with whom they got engaged in 2016. He also has a son, Ethan, and Artem is happily married.

Wikipedia talks about the life and work of the duo, what their real names are, what nationality Artem is, how old he was when he started his creative career, and Artem and Anna also have active accounts on Instagram.

The personal life of a singer, and in the life of a smiling girl Anna Dzyuba, "hidden behind seven locks." But for the first time in a long time, Woman.ru magazine was able to talk with Anya on frank topics “without cuts.”

In the photo: singer Asti (Asti, Anna Dzyuba) in childhood

The group Artik & Asti, which includes Artem Umrikhin and Anna Dzyuba, loudly announced itself in 2011 with the release of the song “My Last Hope”. Over the past six years, the guys have become one of the most popular artists in Russia, and their songs are among the most played.

Artem is not only a soloist, but also the founder of the group, he decides what and how to sing. But Anna became his “other half” on stage absolutely by accident - by pure luck. Woman.ru talked to the modern “Cinderella” and found out how she coped with the onslaught of fame, who is her authority and what will happen to the group when she goes on maternity leave.

Perhaps the name Anna Dziuba is unlikely to mean anything to many. Another thing is Asti! The name of the popular group Artik & Asti has been on everyone's lips for a long time. It is not surprising that Anna, who is the lead singer of the duet, has long called herself Asti. In addition to working in a super successful team, the singer opened the “Beauty Bureau from Anna Asti”, where our meeting took place. Without an ounce of makeup on her face, with a mop of loose hair and in a voluminous hoodie, she looked like a teenager, but during the conversation she revealed herself as a strong-willed, confident, attractive girl in an adult way. By the way, during our interview, satisfied visitors to the Beauty Bureau more than once approached the singer with words of gratitude not only for the high-quality services of the salon, but also for the sincerity and openness of Anya herself, which was only confirmed by our conversation. Our heroine came to the meeting not alone, but with a Sphynx kitten.

“I'm a cat person. I took this cat as a gift for a friend, I have the same one at home. But I’ve already become so attached that I don’t think the kitten will reach my friends,”

Anya shared with us, laughing.

Ani-Asti's journey into the world of show business began with the most ordinary phone call. In 2010, Artem Umrikhin (at that time he had been involved in music for many years) decided to create a group, and for this he needed a vocalist. The singer accidentally came across a recording of Anna Dzyuba’s song on the Internet, after which he found her phone number and offered cooperation. This is how the group Artik & Asti appeared...

Woman.ru: Anya, today you are a popular singer, but your career as an artist began quite by accident. At what point did you realize the extent of your popularity?

Asti: I think I still haven't realized it. I can’t even believe that I was so lucky. Maybe that's why I don't have star power. I remain a simple girl. The way my fans know me is 100% me. When I'm on stage, I open up completely because everything comes from the heart. 40 minutes pass - I got my buzz, exchanged energy and left.

Woman.ru: You and Artem have been working in tandem for many years. Are you quarreling?

Asti: No, he and I are absolutely on the same wavelength. We have never had such quarrels that we would become hysterical, slam doors, leave... Sometimes there are screams, but this is all because I am a girl working in an exclusively male team. “In our team, I created a family atmosphere so that we would always be together, support each other, and be friends. Therefore, if we quarrel, we quickly make up.” In all seven years of our cooperation, I only gave up twice. There was a moment when, due to the hellish schedule, my nerves gave way. I started to be capricious and said some nonsense. The next day Artik talked to me as if nothing had happened. He understood that I just needed to talk it out. He is generally a balanced person; it seems to me that it is simply impossible to piss him off. Therefore, the last word is always his. At the same time, what’s nice is that Artik doesn’t act like a boss. It seems to me that he is the only person I listen to in my life. I don't listen to anyone anymore, not even my parents. We have been together for many years - Artik helped me adapt to a new life, because in Moscow I was completely alone, we went through many difficulties together. Over the years, Artik has become a dear and close person to me, a brother who taught me everything.

Woman.ru: How did the dream of becoming an artist appear?

Asti: It seems to me that almost every girl dreams of this. I grew up in a musical family and from childhood I was an artistic, active child. My older sister and I almost every day made up some kind of games, organized concerts, and fashion shows.

Asti: I don’t know... It’s just that when you’ve lived alone in a big city for a long enough time, you’ve been able to rise up, you’ve done something worthwhile, you no longer depend on anyone. I have always been an obedient child, but character is character. I am firm, strong, stubborn, especially now. Character is still formed over the years and depends on what kind of people you communicate with, what problems arise and how you solve them. “When Artik called me, I was honestly shocked. By that time, my hands had already given up, I didn’t want anything and mentally resigned myself to the fact that I would cook borscht and do housework. I was sure that one gets into show business with the help of money or connections, which I did not have. Or through bed, which didn’t suit me.” Artik’s call was real luck, I never thought of missing this chance, so I had to change my life. And when I left, who helped me? Nobody, all by myself! For the first six months, I practically didn’t leave the house, except to go to the store. I had no friends or acquaintances here. And, of course, when you grow up in such conditions (and in seven years I have grown a lot), then who will you listen to? That's right: only yourself. When people today try to tell me how to live, what to do, I say: “Where have you been for 27 years of my life? You weren't there, but I managed somehow. I can handle it now.” I only listen to successful people. Listening to losers is a bad idea.

Woman.ru: I can assume that you don’t care much about criticism on Instagram either.

Asti: The first time I cried so much! How offended I was... At 21, I was a plump girl - I had just left my parents. And they photographed me all the time so that I turned out to have a square face, as if I had four chins. I was worried that I was fat, although at that time I weighed five kilograms less than now. And so I began to lose weight, then gain weight. The media wrote that I was “fat.” And I just have this facial structure, I can’t do anything about it, but you can’t prove it to people. And when you are not confident in yourself, such criticism completely unsettles you. “Literally a couple of years ago I told myself: “You are who you are, and you can’t do anything about it. But you can work on yourself, or you can whine. That's all". Moreover, you first need to work on yourself from within. I changed externally only when I began to feel better internally. Many noted that I had become more feminine, charming, and mature.” When you are confident in yourself, it is impossible to unsettle you, push you off your intended path, interfere with or offend. Artists must understand that on the one hand they will tell you that you are great, and on the other hand, that you are mediocrity. Everyone only likes a hundred dollar bill!

Woman.ru: Aren’t you afraid that such confidence can develop into self-confidence?

Asti: I hope everyone sees that I am a simple, open person. At a certain point I had to make a choice what kind of person I should be, because it wasn’t easy. At first, I didn’t know what to do at all - I was taught how to behave on stage, how to dress. Anya Sedokova helped create my first looks and took me to her stylists. I was generally “green” - a girl from a small town. Then, gradually, they began to give me freedom, and today I myself choose how to dress, how to move on stage, and communicate with fans. And if I don’t want something, I won’t do it - fortunately, I’m not 16 years old anymore. “I had to become self-confident somewhere, because that was the only way I could remain myself. Previously, I was afraid to move, the microphone was shaking in my hands, I thought that the audience was staring at me and looking for flaws. And today I have an inner core, thanks to which I stand firmly on my feet and don’t feel like a rag.” The main thing is that, no matter what, I remain a man of heart. But with brains. I like to think and poke around inside myself.

Woman.ru: Can you name three of your qualities that you are especially proud of?

Asti: I think this is, first of all, kindness, openness and determination. At the same time, I’m probably even too open - I immediately trust everyone, love everyone. But crowds scare me - I don’t like it when my personal space is invaded.

Woman.ru: At 27 years old, you are already the owner of your own beauty salon...

Asti: Just the owner of a beauty salon. For me this is absolutely not the limit, it even seems to me that at my age I could have accomplished much more, so sometimes I reproach myself for missing so many years without thinking about development. Today I have a lot of plans and aspirations. I never stop dreaming and believing. I think I will succeed.

Woman.ru: Tell us about your dreams.

Asti: Naturally, I want to get my brainchild, a beauty salon, off the ground. I have invested a lot of effort and money here, but there are still many shortcomings that need to be addressed in the near future. Plus a career - songs, videos, filming, a new album. In addition, on October 28 we will have a big concert in Moscow. “And, of course, I dream of a family, children. I would like to do it as soon as possible, but for now it’s impossible.”

Woman.ru: Why?

Asti: For now, my career takes up all my time and energy. And I don’t want to get pregnant and then have my child grow up without a mother. I’m not ready to give up my career right now to plunge into motherhood. I want a family, but at the moment I’m experiencing an incredible rise in my career and I can’t just take it, leave everything and say: “I’m joining the family.” An artist cannot afford this - you have to release a new track every one and a half to two months. And if you missed at least six months - that’s it, you’re gone, you’ve been caught up and surpassed. Today in show business there are a huge number of artists and groups; new products come out almost every day, many of which become hits, so you can’t yawn. “Artik and I have been on stage for seven years now, and only recently has our group begun to gain momentum. I would be a complete fool if I now let years of effort, labor and nerves go down the drain. There will be no group without me." They used to tell me: “You are 27 years old, soon 30 - you urgently need to get married and have children.” And I was terribly tense about this, telling myself: “We have to hurry.” And then it dawned on me that there is no point in marrying just anyone and then getting divorced, and your child growing up without a father. Or endure endless scandals. Today I know for sure: if something is not in your life, it means the time has not come yet. Anna Asti

Woman.ru: You are now in a relationship, but you prefer not to talk about it. Why?

Asti: Yes, I'm in a relationship and absolutely happy. I don’t shout about it because I finally realized that happiness loves silence, that you need to listen to someone less and trust your heart more. Don't rush time - yours will come to you. “I’m so happy that I don’t want to share it with anyone. This is so personal, intimate... People always try to get in, give advice, express their opinion, but I don’t need it.” I used to, like many Instagram girls, post on social networks both photos with bouquets and posts about how happy I am. But today I know that when you really feel good, you want to keep it in your cozy little world, and not run around and talk about it left and right. At some point, emotions overwhelmed me, and I really wanted to talk about my happiness, but then I was let go (smiles).

Woman.ru: Probably because of your work you see each other very rarely.

Asti: Of course, this bothers us, I miss you very much, I always want to be held in my arms, to be hugged, to be pitied, I am drawn to go home. But we are never bored. Relationships do not like routine, everyday life - very often this is why many couples break up. You start getting angry at each other over little things, pissing each other off with little things, and everything falls apart. We miss each other so much that we enjoy every minute together. It is very difficult when you are together all the time, you have common interests, you talk about the same thing - you simply have nothing to surprise each other with. But if you live in different worlds, you have different careers, you are interested in different things, you spend a lot of time apart from each other, then you will always be interested in being with your soulmate. Of course, I’m sad without him, but what a joy it is to return home after two days and, having missed him, hug, kiss, and share news.

Woman.ru: Returning to dreams of a family: are you planning to go on maternity leave after the birth of your child or will you rather return to work?

Asti: I will be an active mother. My sister has two children, I was even present at the birth, her babies grew up before my eyes, and I know everything about raising children. I also know about postpartum depression. So for it not to exist, you need to be distracted by something. “Sometimes there comes a time for everyone when you want to lie for days without getting out of bed, stare at one point and suffer. The surest way to avoid this is to do something, and then you simply won’t have time for depression.”

Woman.ru: Formulate your motto for life.

Asti: The phrase is spinning in my head: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” I think it describes me exactly. I'm emotional, I need everything at once. I can't be stopped. I want to breathe deeply, I want to do as much as possible, this life is not enough for me. I’m 27 years old, but it always seems to me that I didn’t have time to do so much, didn’t see, missed, didn’t recognize. I would be infinitely happy if there were more than 24 hours in a day, but that’s what life is for, that’s what time is for, so that we learn to appreciate every moment.
