Singer and composer of the Russian chanson direction, this is how we know Andrei Klimnyuk. Time will tell to what extent his work exactly matches the mood of people, but no doubt, sincere songs sounding from the bottom of their hearts will not leave anyone indifferent.
The author and performer of his songs is Andrei Konstantinovich Klimnyuk, whose songs we still listen to with bated breath.
Childhood, adolescence, military service
Andrey Klimnyuk was born on September 27, 1964 in the small town of Minusinsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory. Then there was a move with his father, a serviceman, to Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk, where the family will remain permanently.
Since 1978, Andrei began to take a great interest in playing the guitar. However, the future famous performer of Russian chanson songs did not aspire to receive professional musical education.
As only a 14-year-old boy, he began to write poetry imitating his idol Arkady Severny. So, in 1991 he wrote songs for the film "White Crow".
After completing his studies at the Novosibirsk Higher Military School, Andrei in the period from 1986 to 1989 completed military service in Afghanistan. In the future, along with songs of the prison theme, the military theme will become one of the main themes of creativity.
It is worth noting that Andrei Konstantinovich Klimnyuk was awarded the Medal For Courage in 1988, the Order of the Red Star, in 2007 he was awarded the Order of the Union of Cossack Formations of the Russian Federation “For Services to the Fatherland and the Cossacks,” III degree.
Upon completion of military service, he continued to engage in musical creativity, releasing in 1999 his debut album "Volyushka". The song "April" becomes famous.
Creativity of a musician-performer, writer
In the period 1999 - 2017 releases 31 solo albums. Musical work brings satisfaction, but despite its popularity as a songwriter, in 2006 he publishes a collection of poems "From places of deprivation …", in 2015 the book "My Afghan - Notes of a trench officer" is published, supplemented and republished in 2017.
The concerts bring love and respect to the audience not only of our country, but also of Germany, as well as of the soldiers in Chechnya.
Personal life
Was not known to the general public. As he said in an interview, they wrote the lyrics from a female person, and he invited his wife Olga to perform them. The success of the songs exceeded all expectations. In 2004, the first album was released, and in 2007, two albums. The spouse is a songwriter and musician, his wife is a performer, this tandem made it possible to realize the conceived projects, and the career of a musician-performer could acquire new horizons. But how does a man live who, through songs, poems, music, gives a part of himself to people?
The songs went through the heart and one day it could not stand it. Andrey Klimnyuk's life ended on 22.03. 2018 at the age of 54.
There are many artists performing in the genre of Russian chanson, but they are not more attractive to themselves with their frank, sincere conversation with the listener.
