ARTIK & ASTI about relationships. Spicy details of the creative tandem Artik&Asti Anya from the group Artik and Asti
Childhood and adolescence
Anya was born on June 24, 1990 in the Ukrainian town of Cherkassy, picturesquely located on the banks of the Dnieper. The girl loves her small homeland– here the soul becomes comfortable.
Growing up in creative family the girl was imbued with the magic of music from the cradle. Together with her older sister, she constantly invented various skits, which she willingly demonstrated to her parents and neighbors, and organized impromptu performances and fashion shows. At school, Anya did not miss a single musical event, participated in concerts with pleasure, and the cassettes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, which belonged to her sister, were heard to death.
She always liked the stage and the attention of the public, so already in her teens she seriously decided to become a singer. True, the girl did not know how she could achieve success in show business; it seemed to her that this would require money and connections, which she did not have then. Therefore, after graduating from school, she looked for herself in other professions, managing to work as a makeup artist and even as an assistant lawyer. At the same time, I recorded my first demo tapes and posted them on the Internet.
Singer career
It is unknown how Anna’s life would have turned out if one late evening a telephone call had not unexpectedly sounded in her apartment. She received a call from young producer Artem Umrikhin, who was looking for a soloist for his new project. By that time, he was already well known in the musical community: he collaborated with Anna Sedokova, Ivan Dorn, Dzhigan and other famous performers.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.
Having stumbled upon Anna’s tracks on the Internet, Artem immediately realized that she was exactly what he needed. The young singer’s phone number was given to him by the creator of the group “Mushrooms” Yuri Bardash. Artik immediately offered cooperation to the girl and soon the guys recorded their first joint song in a Kyiv recording studio. This is how it arose duet Artik& Asti, who a year later loudly announced himself with the track “My Last Hope”. The video for this song was viewed by about one and a half million people in a month.Artik&Asti – My last hope (the group’s first video)
Soon the duo moved to Moscow, where the young performers began a completely different life, consisting of intense studio work, intense concert activity and frequent tours.
It was not easy for Anya to immediately adapt to such a rhythm, but Artem was always nearby, who became not only a stage partner, but also a faithful comrade-in-arms, best friend and adviser. In addition, the indescribable emotions from going on stage, the energy auditorium and the feeling of a dream finally coming true more than compensated for all the difficulties.
The girl recalled that at the beginning of her career she was a rather plump person. She was greatly hurt by articles in the tabloids, where she was reproached for being overweight, and comments from subscribers who called her openly fat. Yoga, meditation and stretching helped the singer lose weight.
In 2013, the deut’s first album “RayOneNaTwoih” was released, and six months later Artik and Asti were nominated for an award from the Russian Music Box channel (category “Best Promotion”). The second album “Here and Now” became one of the most popular of 2015 according to Yandex.Music. And the video for the song “You Can Do Anything,” based on the movie “50 Shades of Grey,” main role in which Agnia Ditkovskite performed, brought several more prestigious awards to the young musicians.
Artik&Asti – You can do anything
In 2016, the group received two nominations for the RU.TV award (“Best Start” and “Best Role in a Video”) and a nomination for the Muz-TV award (“Breakthrough of the Year”). In the summer of the same year, the musicians released the single “I am yours” (the lead composition from the upcoming album), a little later the video was released, which, as always, could boast of excellent camera work, but many listeners decided that the video looked more like an action movie and was not suitable to a romantic song.
In the spring of 2017, the third album of the duet “Number 1” was released, which, like the previous ones, aroused the keenest interest of the public.
Asti's personal life
Unlike many popular people, Anna tries not to advertise her personal life. She had a loved one, he was not from the artistic sphere and due to the nature of her activity, the singer did not see him as often as she would like. Perhaps because of this, their relationship was doomed, and in 2018 Anna experienced a painful separation.
But the beauty was not alone for long. Soon she had a new young man. In July 2019, when Asti began showing off her engagement ring in fresh photos, the telegram channel “Only Nobody” managed to declassify the name of her lover. The man of her heart is Stanislav Yurkin, he (at the time of the beginning of their relationship) was 40 years old, behind him is his first marriage, in which his daughter Varya was born. He also has nothing to do with the stage, he owns his own bar.
When deciding matters of the heart, it can be useful to resort to the experience of others. After all, someone’s relationship has already gone through stages that are just ahead of you. We decided to talk about concepts such as love and betrayal with Artik and Anya from the ARTIK & ASTI group in order to hear two opinions at once - male and female.
Artik about responsibility in relationships
Living together this is a very serious step. If people decide to live together, it is the same as if they decided to get married. For a very long time, some people call themselves simply “a guy and a girl,” although they live together and lead a common life. I don't think this is very correct.
Some people need to take a closer look at each other however, it is better not to delay this. I know for sure that if I invite a girl to live with me, then I will already consider her my wife.
It's hard to say why people cheat and why they forgive cheaters. I know for sure that I would not forgive the betrayal of my beloved woman. Regarding male infidelity, you need to ask the ladies, but it seems to me that if a man cheats, he puts an end to the relationship.
Male infidelity can be dictated by instincts after all, you can go and cheat on your wife with some other woman, but at the same time love your spouse, and never remember about that other one again. This doesn’t sound very good, but perhaps men can cheat to satisfy some of their desires, and still love with all their hearts.
I'm totally against it so that people disperse after the first problems appear. And I also believe that a lot depends on the woman here, because she is the core of the family, she is the one who can preserve the hearth. Today, women cease to understand how important their role is in the family, and therefore they are not afraid for the relationship and do not strive to preserve it.
A man must make efforts to save his family but the woman still plays a huge, perhaps even primary role in this.
Anya about why it is important to always be frank
They say love lasts three years In any case, it turned out something like this for me. Only it is not love that lives for three years, but passion and magic. Then everything gets better, returns to normal, and you get used to it, although this space is no longer there.
Love is always a lot of work between two people, because if you live with each other, spend a lot of time together, the problems do not become fewer; on the contrary, there are more and more skeletons in the closets and you have to either fight or put up with them.
In any case, accept and cope together. The main thing is to trust each other and open up to the maximum.
If you have a worthwhile, albeit slightly faded, relationship any steps leading to saving them are always justified and necessary. At least you will know that you did everything in your power. If, despite this, you separated, then, as they say, it was not fate.
I don’t believe that love passes or dies, it develops into mutual respect and understanding. But if, after all, there is nothing left, we must remember: any person deserves the right to be loved and experience such a magical feeling as love. For example, for me, as a girl, loving is even more important than being loved. Therefore, if you don’t feel it, run and look for your happiness.
After conducting surveys of friends and reading hundreds of pages about them, we were still unable to sort out the juiciest ones. Their image moves and is driven into the ribbed sole. She is yin, he is yang. And there is no way to separate them. Who are they really? Artik&Asti plays a thousand roles in their composition. The beginning of the way. The Artik&Asti group is blowing up the musical Olympus of our show business and remains unnoticed. And only NightOut became available, what remains behind the scenes.
- Who is Artik? Who is Asti? With the name change, did life take a different direction?
Artik: Artik is practically my middle name. My real name is Artem. At first, my friends simply called me Art, an abbreviation of my name. Later this grew into Artik.
Asti: This is still the real us, Asti is just a stage name. And my life completely changed because I achieved my cherished dream.
- Tell us about your musical start?
Artik: I started getting interested in music at the age of 11. Then for the first time I heard a neighbor’s guy recite the lyrics of the group Bachelor Party and I really liked it, and I began to get involved in rap music. Later I got a computer and the first thing I did was buy a program for writing music. This is how my first songs appeared.
Asti: I loved music since childhood, I 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 from that moment. We tried to record a couple of test songs together and “sang along” so to speak.
Artik, when did the revaluation of musical creativity happen? Finding a female voice
Artik: I've always worked with female vocalists. I really love beautiful voices and melodic songs. A revaluation of creativity occurred in 2011, when I decided to create my own production project. That's how I found Asti.
- Asti, how did the capital greet you?
Asti: Amazing!) It was, of course, difficult at first to change your little world to the completely opposite one. But if it’s “yours,” then everything works out for the best. I immediately felt the energy big city, which still inspires and energizes me.
- Asti, I know that your idol in pop music is Whitney Houston. Do you want to achieve such heights?
Asti: Of course! But I always look at life very realistically, and I believe that few people in the whole world can achieve such heights as she does. She is luxurious, unique and incredibly talented; such people are born with a special purpose.
- Which people inspire you in world show business?
Artik: Jay Z, Kanye West, Drake, Rihanna, Pharell, Beyonce and many others.
Asti: Oh, there are a lot of them! Well, for example: Beyonce, Jessie J, Sam Smith, Jessie ware, nicki minaj and many others)) these people inspire and serve as an example for me, not only because I like their songs, but also because they work hard on themselves, with their shows, and of course with their music. An artist is basically a “picture” and music, but in order for it to be interesting you need to put in a lot of effort.
- Artik, you combine so many roles (producer, composer), haven’t you thought about stopping at just one?
Artik: All these roles are very closely interconnected and do not interfere with each other, but rather complement each other. But as I get older, I delve deeper and deeper into producing.
- If you had not become artists, what profession would you have chosen?
Artik: I chose this profession as a child and have been pursuing it all my life. So I can't even imagine. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. I have a higher legal education, but I would not be able to work in this field.
Asti: I’m a very versatile person, I’m interested in everything!) I don’t know if I would become a flight attendant!
- You quickly rose to the Olympus of show business, what difficulties did you encounter?
Artik: Everyone has the same difficulties in our show business. Our radio stations and television channels do not like to support young performers and often judge very subjectively. But that's their right. People love our songs, and this is the most important thing.
- Have you ever had any doubts about “what mom would think and what dad would think”?
Artik: I don't do anything to make me doubt this!)
Asti: This is not doubt, but respect for parents. These words never leave me because I always remember those I love. But I quickly became independent and matured in relation to my actions and decisions, so very few people can influence them.
- With the advent of popularity, you lose your head and whims appear, are you susceptible to this?
Artik: We all people. But most likely these are not whims, but simply new standards. This is normal for any developing person.
Asti: I won’t say that these are whims, perhaps I am becoming more demanding, but this does not always happen. As for the whims, you’d better ask my concert manager))) it seems to me that he sometimes wants to kill me for my temper. But this also only happens in moments of fatigue and difficult concert schedules, when nerves are at their limit, but I’m still the only girl in our team - everyone understands me.
- How do you manage to go into the shadows, because you are in plain sight, everyone is probably pointing fingers?
Artik: So far we've been lucky with this. A very large number of people know our songs, but don’t know us by sight, because... We are a relatively new team.
Asti: Come on, we don’t live in a zoo)) sometimes people recognize us, sometimes they don’t, and so far I’m very happy about this, because I can have fun when I live an ordinary life.
- The phrase “we are just friends” implies a deep subtext. And no one believes in this friendship, why?
Artik: Why doesn't anyone believe? Everyone believes and knows!
Asti: Because people want to believe that everything is not so simple. We don’t see any subtext in this, others are looking, to each his own.
- What’s between you?
Artik: First of all, friendly relations. But of course we are united by work!
Asti: We are not only friends, but also partners. And in general, Art is like an older brother to me. I often consult with him and always take into account his opinion, he has done a lot for me, and I will always be grateful for that.
- Your personal life is under seven seals. Open the curtain.
Artik: There is no curtain! There’s just nothing to tell!)
Asti: That's why it's personal, to remain so. When I have some special news, I will definitely share it with you.
- Asti, you are getting smaller every day. The pursuit of immeasurable model parameters?
Asti: In no case! I love beautiful shapes, I love to eat. Of course, it is necessary to look after your figure, but I am for health, and not for exhaustion for the sake of losing weight. It’s just that sometimes there are moments when I lose weight on my own, without grueling diets. I, like any girl, naturally like it. Slimness always suits you.
- “Here and now” - when is the release of your exciting product?
Artik: On January 20, the album has already appeared on iTunes, and the most ardent admirers of our work can already pre-order and be the first to hear our creation! The full release is scheduled for February 13th!
- What are your life priorities: music, family, money, personal relationships?
Artik: Of course, family is the most important thing in life! You cannot separate priorities between work and family! These are completely different things! And this is completely normal when a person has both work and family!
Asti: No matter how it sounds, nothing and no one can give me more pleasure than music. Then family and personal relationships, for which there is a catastrophic lack of either strength or time... And the last place is taken by money; it cannot buy happiness.
- Everyone is called a star and has the right to shine, don’t you agree?
Artik: we are all free people!
Asti: Well, if everyone didn’t mark themselves with a star, then yes.
- Would you be able to formulate the ideology that Artik promotes and grow?
Artik: We promote love!
Asti: We promote love and kindness, sincerity and feelings.
