The future of Angelica Agurbash, it seems, was predetermined in childhood, when the girl sang various popular songs to her parents for days on end, imagining herself to be an accomplished artist. To date, this popular singer has over 300 songs and a dozen video clips in her arsenal.
Childhood and youth
Angelica Anatolyevna Agurbash was born on May 17, 1970 in Minsk. The girl was the only child in the family. Lika's parents by their kind of activity are not in any way connected with art, however, their daughter was a very active child and her love for creativity appeared very early in her. Already at the age of 6, the girl sang at home in front of her parents, imagining that she was on stage in front of thousands of fans.
Then Angelica was sent to a music school, where she did not miss a single lesson. Moreover, in addition to general education and music schools, she managed to attend a theater studio and dance as part of the "Vyazanka" collective.
Hard work and boundless talent allowed Lika to make her film debut at the age of 14. One day the girl was heading home after class, but then an unfamiliar woman caught up with her, who introduced herself as an assistant director. She invited the schoolgirl to take part in the filming of one film. Agurbash agreed, but after meeting with the director of the film, instead of playing in the crowd, she was approved for the role of a minor character. The tape was named "Exam for the director". However, looking at the script handed to her, Lika realized that she would play the main role in the film.
At the age of 17, the girl continues to trample her creative path and goes for higher education to the local theater and art institute (now BGAI), where she was enrolled in the acting department. But before completing her first year, the girl took an academic leave.
Career
Having suspended her studies, she wasted no time. In 1988, Angelica, unexpectedly for her entourage, entered the beauty contest "Minsk Beauty". There were a lot of applicants for the victory in the national competition. And despite the fact that from childhood Agurbash grew up as a very attractive girl, neither Lika herself nor any of her relatives expected such a turn of events - the young beauty received the crown of the winner. At that moment, she realized that she simply had to conquer the stage.
After a furore at the competition, she gladly agrees to a role in a comedy called "I Don't Understand". In 1989, the first tour appeared in her life, on which she went in the company of the future mastodons of satire - Mikhail Zadornov and Semyon Altov. On tour, Vasily Rainchik, artistic director of the Verasy creative team, draws attention to her. The aspiring artist was asked to become a part of the Belarusian ensemble, to which she gave her consent without hesitation. In the meantime, the girl is recovering at the university, but she realizes that she simply won't be able to devote time to her studies while her career is going uphill. Thus, after studying for 3 years, she takes the documents from the university. It was 1990.
In the same year, Lika is selected for the next beauty contest called "Miss-photo of the USSR", where she bypasses all her rivals and is awarded the crown of the winner. This success brings Agurbash a lot of job offers in cinema, photography, music. Moreover, most of the proposals came from abroad.
In 1993, Angelica appeared in the title role in the movie "About her, but without her" and in a TV story called "The Naked King". And in 1994 she had the honor to perform in one of the nightclubs in Milan.
A year later, the girl decides to develop her solo career and leaves the Verasy ensemble. By that time, Angelica was already working on her own songs. The debut album of Agurbash was released in 1995, but the artist became truly famous with the release in 1997 of the second disc "A Night Without Sleep".
The discography of the Belarusian singer has 13 albums, the last of which was released in 2018.
Personal life
The first husband of Angelica Agurbash was the Belarusian filmmaker Igor Linev. The couple had a daughter in 1988, however, the marriage did not last more than two years.
Then the singer met bodybuilder Valery Bizyuk, with whom she lived in a civil marriage for 6 years. In 1997, the couple had a son.
The longest was the union with Nikolai Agurbash, which lasted almost 12 years. In 2001, Angelica and Nikolai became husband and wife, and after 2 years, the woman became a mother for the third time - another son was born.
