Stas Kostyushkin Biography photo

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. In his youth he was a member of the famous duo "Tea together", is currently building a solo career. He considers himself the first bodybuilder of the Russian stage. Married for the third time. The father of the three sons - Martin, Bogdan and Miron's childhood and the family of a boy born in the summer of the year in Odessa, in the family of Mikhail and Nadezhda Kostyushkin, the parents called Stanislav.

Father, Mikhail Iosifovich, the famous jazz saxophonist and composer, a year after the birth of his son received an invitation from David Goloshchekin to the Leningrad instrumental ensemble of jazz music, and the family moved to the city on the Neva. Parents of Stas Kostyushkin, as well as grandfather, the hero of the war at a new place of residence, mother, Nadezhda Arkadyevna, former Leningrad fashion model, learning that the fashion magazine needs children for a photo shoot, led a five -year Stasik to shoot.

The boy posed in a yellow shirt and black and white children's shorts with straps, the bib of which was decorated with an image of a funny animal. Stas Kostyushkin in childhood in the summer, mother and son went to Odessa, where they traded watermelons in the market. Although all the members of the Kostyushkin family looked from a needle, sometimes there was no food at home, so any penny was by the way.

According to the artist’s memoirs, once his mother hid under the counter, seeing that Mikhail Zhvanetsky was heading for them, with whom she once worked in a joint show. And Little Stasik sold to the famous humorist Arbuz. In truth, I fell in love with Odessa Odessa recently. As a child, she seemed to me a real hell, because they brought me there in August, when none of the children was, I had no one to communicate from my peers, only my mother, grandfather and grandmother.

Childhood, to be honest, I remember infrequently, I am not one of those people who love this life segment. Meanwhile, the father left the Goloshchekin ensemble and became a participant and soloist of the orchestra Joseph Weinstein, and in the early eighties he began to teach at the Musorgsky Music Music School. In parallel with this, he created a jazz quartet “Arsov” and acted as an author of a number of creative projects.

Mikhail Iosifovich is called a musician with an impeccable taste in the interpretation of jazz classics and subtly sensing the specifics of modern jazz. It is not surprising that from the infancy, Stas joined Jam-Seeshens who took place in their house. Once the musicians dedicated the baby “Ah you, Puna-Karapuna” the child somewhat reminiscent of the colleagues of the father of a black boy, and he was nicknamed Puna.

Stas grew up in the creative atmosphere of school years, Kostyushkin does not like to remember, because he studied badly and was a kind of outcast. The class to the fifth he was “cowardly and slobber” and could not stand up for himself, but at the age of 14 he came to the judo section, and since then sport has occupied an important place in his life. And serious classes of singing and music soon made him a soloist of the school choir.

Teachers discovered the deposit of the future opera singer in Kostyushkin. But at that time the boy was much more interesting to achieve success in sports, he enthusiastically engaged in judo, leaving the game on the piano on the “later”. Soon Stas was completely carried away by the theater and seriously thought about the career of a dramatic actor. But the case in the form of Anastasia Barteneva, well aware of Kostyushkin’s singing talent, turned it on a different path.

And the sixteen -year -old young man who drew to the Russian State Institute of stage arts turned into a conservatory. The youth Professor Vocal appreciated the beautiful dramatic baritone of the young man and said that he would certainly come, but the next year, since the hormonal background at sixteen was still unstable. But for a whole year, Kostyushkin seemed to be eternity, and he entered the vocal department of the music school, at the course of the famous teacher Ivan Melentyev, where he studied with Anna Netrebko.

The teachers admired by the voice of Stas after graduating from the first year contrary to the rules recommended him to the Conservatory of Leningrad. He entered the preparatory course. The future seemed brilliant. And again, the case, this time is negligent, intervened in the fate of the young man. In parallel with training, Kostyushkin regularly went in for sports, in particular judo.

He trained seriously and did not pay attention to the fact that he fell face down, breaking his nose. Only after years, Stas realized that he had broken a nasal partition in training and she shifted. Then it had the most tragic consequences for his voice: the beauty of Temra and the “ringing” disappeared. My hero. Stas Kostyushkin, a new teacher, could send a sortone to a phoniature doctor who would have managed to correct the problem, but instead forced the young man to force his voice, which destroyed the unrenaded voice apparatus.

Kostyushkin was recognized as security forces and expelled from the conservatory. The young man was not too upset, even delighted that he was freed from tedious classes. But the desire to become famous and regain his voice directed Stas to Holland, where he studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory for a year.The Dutch teachers of the vocal helped to restore their voice and, having arrived at his homeland, Kostyushkin got a job at the Musical Children's Theater "Zapodyl".

There he soon began to play the main roles and found his first grateful spectators. In the first meeting, it turned out that Denis loves Jazzman Mikhail Kostyushkin, and Stas really like Ilya Oleinikov from the “town”, which turned out to be Denis's Pope. They found many other common interests. Denis Klyaver and Stas Kostyushkin in his youth, the guys decided to create their own creative duet.

On the "Song of the Year - 96" the duet performed the composition "Cheremukha". The producer of the duet at that time was Igor Kurekhin, who organized the recording of the first studio album “Tea of ​​Two” under the name “I will not forget ...”. Laima Vaikule and “Tea Together” - “Dushka” guys, inspired by the first success, began to actively participate as musical performers in various competitions.

The contest "Yalta - Moscow - Transit" brought the duet the highest award in the year, and a year later the guys took the audience sympathies home. The Group of Tea of ​​the Minor in E on talented guys drew attention to Chansonnier Mikhail Shufutinsky and invited them to his tour in the country. Having earned the first serious money, as well as borrowing 25 thousand dollars, in the year Stas and Denis lifted their first video clip.

The song “I will not forget” was chosen for the video. Tea alone-I won’t forget the guys later recalled that the public did not like the first video, and some musical critic even accused them of non-traditional sexual orientation. But the fans of “Tea Two” and today are nostalgic, reviewing the first clip, the concept of which at that time was a real masterpiece of the level of the Kar Maine team.

The next huge breakthrough in the work of “Tea Two” was cooperation with Laima Vaikul. She offered a duet for two years and Kostyushkin and Klyaver went with pop-diva to two-year tour. As the guys later said, it was thanks to Vaikula that they learned to "make a show in small costs." Their first solo concert in St. Petersburg took place. In addition, in two years, the duet released three new albums, the songs from which sounded throughout the country.

In the year it was a “fellow traveler”, in a “sake” disc, and in “zero” the light saw the album “non -native”. The first year of the new millennium was marked by the group with a new theatrical show “Kino” with special effects, with which they traveled not only Russia, but also the CIS countries. A year later, the guys presented the track “My affectionate”, for which they were awarded the Golden Gramophone Award, and then an album with the same name was released.

Tea alone - my affectionate, up to a year, “tea together” released five more albums, each of which invariably enjoyed success with fans of the duet’s work. These were: “Ten thousand words about love”, “Morning tea party” and “evening tea drinking”, and then “Sorry ...” and “White Dress”. One of the first Kostyushkin and Klyaver released the Cave-Versia disc.

In the year, the guys decided to open the production center "Tea of ​​the two of the Production", with which performers such as Tanya Bulanova, Jasmine, Zara collaborated. Stas, in parallel with concerts and work on a new joint album, released in the year, decided to create his own solo project. Denis decided to go to his free “voyage”. In the year, “tea together” broke up there is no unequivocal opinion about the reasons why “tea together” broke up.

If you believe the insiders, Stas’s wife convinced her husband that it was better for him to build a solo career, after which the small claims accumulated by the guys during the years of joint work poured out. Another reason for the collapse is the death of Father Denis in November of the year: Ilya Oleinikov burned down from cancer in six months. His death greatly influenced Klyaver.

Kostyushkin himself in one of the interviews said: I do not make drama from the fact that we together lasted almost 18 years, and then parted. On the contrary, we can say, I was the initiator of this and risked great, because the first tomatoes could fly into me: I decided to perform not what we sang in a duet. And Denis said: "I like everything, I will continue." Now he sings about love for girls, and I - about the love of gadgets: “Fire, not Vifaya” and so on.

The solo career is still a member of the “Tea of ​​Two”, Stas, on the advice of Nikolai Tsiscaridze, decided to seriously engage in vocals, for which he underwent the operation, after which the problems with the nasopharyncy that tormented him for many years were successfully resolved. He began to stubbornly engage and nevertheless graduated from the vocal department of the conservatory named after Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

The outstanding teacher Irina Bozhedomova, whom Kostyushkin considers his savior, helped him in this. Original arrangements to them were written by Stas. The name of the team is a tribute to the artist to his grandfather, military journalist Joseph Schulman. The group’s performances were the second department after the performances of “Tea Two” in the first.

In the year, Kostyushkin finally left a duet with Klyaver and presented his fans with a new solo A-Dessa project. A-Dessa-the eccentricity and shocking has become karadocen has become the hallmark of the new pop group.The songs "Fire" "Faya", "Woman, I do not dance! Together with Boris Moiseev, Kostyushkin released the clip “I am a bald”, and then appeared naked in a parody video for the musical group “Mushrooms”, and then presented his compositions “I have everything exactly”, “Grandma”, “Op!

Anapa ”,“ Facts ”. An interview with Stas Kostyushkin in parallel with his childhood friend Boris Kopylov engaged in business: in St. Petersburg and Moscow, the Da Pudra Cafe network opened, and friends also established the release of tea. The puffy Stas Kostyushkina Kostyushkin also began to appear in a wide variety of television projects. Stas tried his strength in a comedic cinema: he played the role of a policeman in the Thai Voyage of Stepanych and “Spanish Voyage Stepanych” where Denis Klyaver’s father played the main role, and also played Camoo in several series.

He gained interesting experience in the English -language picture of Alexei Zalevsky “Joking”, where he played a crazy director of the theater. In the year in the sitcom, "girls do not give up" played himself. In the same year, Kostyushkin introduced the public a new hit “I will steal”, which first checked on the son of Miron, who learned the words of the song and performed it with enthusiasm of the house.
