Much to the regret of the million-strong army of fans, Andrei Klementyev (Gubin) suddenly disappeared from the world of show business. Only a couple of years ago, he reappeared on TV screens, but this meeting did not give pleasure to his admirers - emaciated, aged, seeking help and sympathy. What happened to Andrey? Will he again delight his fans and just music lovers with new hits?
Childhood and adolescence of the future star - Andrei Klementyev (Gubin)
Andrey was born at the end of April 1977 in Ufa, in the family of a researcher and a housewife. The boy's childhood cannot be called cloudless. When he was 8 years old, the family moved to Moscow, but they did not have a permanent residence permit. Parents and Andrey often had to change rented apartments, there were financial difficulties. As a child, the boy tried to help his mom and dad - he drew cartoons, which were accepted and published in the satirical magazine Krokodil.
In addition, due to constant moving and school changes, Andrei simply did not have time to make friends, he had problems with academic performance. Passion for sports - football - also ended in failure. Andrey showed excellent results, even got into the national team of the capital, but a broken leg crossed out his sports career.
When it became clear that sports were over, Andrei Klementyev (Gubin) switched to music. She became a real salvation, an outlet for the young man.
Music in the life of Andrey Klementyev (Gubin)
Andrei's dream was the stage, but the innate burr was in the way, the young man was shy, squeezed. The parents decided to support him, found a good speech therapist, and the obstacle was corrected by the age of 15.
Andrey had a lot of poetic blanks that lay "in the table". He wrote his first musical composition to his own poetry at the age of 15. A kind of impetus for this step was the guitar, donated by his father for his birthday.
The debut of the first song by Andrei Klementyev (Gubin) entitled "Tramp Boy" took place on the program "Up to 16 and Older", where he got quite by accident. The composition "fired", immediately became a hit, sounded on the air of radio stations.
After graduating from high school with a certificate in which there were a huge number of twos, Andrei entered Gnesinka. But there, too, the study did not go into the right direction - the classes seemed to the young man to be a routine, he wanted active development. As a result, Andrey dropped out of school.
Discography of Andrey Klementyev (Gubin)
At that time, the financial position of the Klementyev family was reliable, his father earned quite a lot, owned his own business. This allowed Andrey to get involved in creativity.
For 14 years of active work, Andrei has released more than 30 hit songs, which occupied the first lines in the ratings of popular songs. He performed on the stage of the best concert halls and toured a lot. He has released several studio song albums, collectibles and music editions. The best ones are:
- "Tramp Boy"
- "By your side"
- "Only you",
- "Open the door"
- "It was, but it's gone"

- "Always with you" and others.
In the same period of his life, Andrei decided to change his surname. Klementyev is the name of his biological father, whom Andrei did not know and never saw. Gubin is the name of his stepfather, who raised Andrei, gave him the opportunity to become successful and famous, whom the young man considered his father. So Andrei Klementyev became Gubin.
Personal life of Andrey Gubin (Klementyev)
This side of the life of the idol of millions has always remained "dark" for fans. Andrei rarely spoke with reporters about personal matters, only after an illness did he decide to talk about how his relationship with the opposite sex developed, whether he was married and whether he has children.
It would seem that an attractive and successful singer, composer should have many novels, but Andrei was complex about his appearance, short stature, it was difficult for him to open up in relationships with girls. According to Andrey himself, there were only three women in his life:
- Lisa Sautina,
- Lyudmila Kobevko,
- Anastasia Starygina.
Andrey met his first love Lisa Sautina in the subway. Feelings were so strong, and on both sides, that it was going to the wedding. But the busy touring schedule ruined the relationship. Lisa went to America, where she got married.
Lyudmila Kobevko is a member of the once popular musical group Caramel, which was produced by Andrey for some time. Gubin (Klementyev) lived with her in a civil marriage for almost 2 years. But this relationship did not work out either.
Nastya Starygina is the subject of Andrei's adoration, and to this day. She starred in his video for the song "Lisa". The relationship was limited to courtship and passionate declarations of love on the part of Andrei. It is not known whether there was an affair between them, whether Anastasia responded to the courtship of the famous singer.
Andrey Gubin (Klementyev) has no children. In 2017, a young man said that he was the son of a singer, but this statement was denied by a DNA test.
How Andrei Gubin (Klementyev) lives now
