Andrey Belyaev singer. Anton Belyaev became a father for the first time

Ther Maitz band leader Anton Belyaev became a father for the first time. His wife Julia gave the musician their first child. About this “StarHit” said the representatives of the artist. The star of the show "Voice" and his wife have already chosen a name for the child - they named him Semyon.

The boy was born yesterday, May 22. The mother and newborn baby are now doing well and are preparing to go home. Fans of the artist are in a hurry to congratulate him on such a significant event in his life.

Specially for the birth of his son, Belyaev presented a lullaby - the song Undercover.

“Semyon Antonych ... you can Simon. Bec - 3680 Height - 53. Born 24 hours. Healthy. Mom is fine too. I wrote him a lullaby and it turned into a charity project, ”the artist admitted in a microblog.

Long before the birth, Julia and Anton declassified the sex of the baby - they did not hide that they were expecting a son. The artist's wife had a premonition that she would become the mother of the boy. “Gender was found out - there will be a micro-Anton. By the way, I felt for a long time that I was expecting a boy. And for some reason our relatives also said: “We think you will have a son,” Yulia said.

The Belyaevs understood that the birth of a baby would radically change their lives. The musician admitted that he would probably become more responsible and mature.

Despite the fact that the couple knew the gender of the baby, they could not agree in advance on choosing a name for the boy. Julia said that she wanted to name her son some extravagant name, and Anton was more inclined towards "classic" options. The couple decided that it would be much better to decide after the birth of the heir. They assumed that the best decision would be taken spontaneously.

“Meet our little seed: Semyon Antonovich Belyaev, he is Simon, they are Shimon. 24 hours of hardcore and the baby is with us. Weight - 3680. Height - 53. We receive a lot of congratulations, I don’t have time to answer, but we see everything, thank you very much, this is a real waterfall of love! - Julia thanked the fans for the congratulations.

While waiting for the child, Belyaev tried to surround his wife with maximum comfort and care. The couple pondered for a long time where it would be better for their child to be born. Some advised Julia to choose one of the maternity hospitals in Miami, as many famous mothers did. Friends also recommended clinics in Mexico, Spain or the Maldives. Despite the many options, Julia was more inclined to stay in Russia. The wife of Therr Maitz, the lead singer of the group, assumed that the weather would be fine in Moscow in the spring, and therefore wanted to stay in the capital.

On September 18, 1979, the future singer and musician, Anton Vadimovich Belyaev, was born in the port city of Magadan. The parents of the famous singer are intelligent people who have nothing to do with the musical stage.

Alfina Sergeevna Belyaeva (Konishcheva) is the mother of the producer, a computer literacy teacher at a secondary school. Vadim Borisovich Belyaev is the father of the future artist, an electronics engineer at a computer center. Lilia Vadimovna Belyaeva is Anton's elder sister, a bibliographer by education.

The creative path of a musician begins in early childhood. At the age of three, he played on his mother's pots, at the age of five, his parents enroll the boy in a piano class at music school No1, in the process of learning, the future artist takes part in music competitions, winning prizes.

School and student years

While studying in high school, Anton is simultaneously studying at the jazz music studio of Yevgeny Chernorog. In 1993, the boy is already freely performing jazz compositions. Having finished nine classes, Belyaev continues to try to get a classical musical education and enters the local music school in the piano group, but his rebellious nature does not allow him to finish his studies and he is expelled.

1995 a negligent schoolboy successfully performs with concerts as part of the Magadan Jazz Orchestra. During the same period, Anton recorded his first compositions at a professional recording studio.

After graduating from high school, in 1997, Belyaev moved to Khabarovsk and applied to the Khabarovsk State Institute of Culture and Arts, where he successfully entered the faculty of jazz music. A bully who barely graduated from high school receives an increased scholarship for academic excellence. The hired nature of the artist does not just allow him to study well. Anton simultaneously begins to look for a job as a musician and finds it in one of the Khabarovsk clubs.

New life

Having received a diploma of higher education in 2002, an unknown artist begins his musical career.

Becoming the administrator of the Rus nightclub, in 2004 Belyaev found like-minded people and created his own musical group. In the same period, he begins his first, serious steps as a composer, creating the repertoire of the future group.

At the age of 27, the artist, having moved to live in Moscow, successfully writes arrangements for compositions for a number of well-known Russian pop singers. Elka, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, the front man of the Nogu Svelo group - Maxim Pokrovsky, Polina Gagarina - these are just a few eminent artists with whom Belyaev works during this period of his creative activity.

But, the active nature of the musician cannot satisfy good fees for arrangements. And Anton creates his own musical group "Therr Maitz", with whom he begins to tour the capital's nightclubs. The group is gaining popularity in the Moscow underground, the number of admirers and admirers is increasing. But this is not enough for a talented composer and musician.

Glory

In 2013, the second part of the musical project "Voice" begins and Belyaev decides to take part in a competition with talented performers from all over the country.

As his debut composition in the show, the Artist chose the well-known song of the American singer Chris Isaac - "Wicked Game". Anton Vadimovich performed the chosen work so masterfully that the question of his further participation in the show was not even discussed.

Together with his creative director, Leonid Agutin, Belyaev reached the semifinals of the Voice-2 show competition. It is not surprising that after his first performance, the singer woke up as a famous musician throughout the country.

Krylatskoye, Igor Matvienko's studio, Tuesday, six o'clock in the evening. A large rehearsal room that looks like a club loft: graphite bricks, glossy floors, a wooden podium with a white backdrop on which M.A.M.A. is written in large letters.

Therr Maitz is rehearsing on the podium - one of the most sought-after Russian bands of the last two years, real heroes of creative work. These two years the musicians live at an accelerated pace. Yesterday they returned from a tour of Eastern Siberia, in two days they will have to close the many-thousand-strong Usadba Jazz festival in Tsaritsyno. There are only two rehearsals, time is running out - Therr Maitz musicians run through the concert set list at high speed, without wasting time on unnecessary movements and words. “It needs a mix of code here,” throws a man in dark glasses, a smart brown Maison Margiela shirt, designer sweatpants and soft moccasins, sitting at the keyboards in the center of the podium. This is Anton Belyaev, face, voice, musical brain and the iron hand of the group - it is he who confidently rules the Therr Maitz car that has picked up speed.

Russia found out about a group with an incomprehensible name and an English-language repertoire in 2013. After Anton Belyaev charmed the jury and the audience of the second season of the TV show "Voice", appearing in the original image of a hooligan pianist - with a hoarse timbre, frisky and strong fingers, an athletic figure, a short haircut, a cool spectacle frame and a toy talisman donkey. By this time, Anton Belyaev was already well known and appreciated in Moscow show business - he was a sought-after producer who worked with famous artists, and his group Therr Maitz, which arose back in 2004 in Khabarovsk and re-assembled in Moscow in 2010, confidently She performed in metropolitan clubs and at small festivals. Things were gradually going uphill, but a breakthrough was needed. Therefore, the energetic Belyaev ventured to go on television - in the show "Voice", where he had long been invited by producers who lured interesting contestants. “I was very nervous before the first shooting,” Belyaev recalls, sitting during a rehearsal break in the bar area of ​​the studio, decorated with a balalaika and accordion, and hastily devouring a toast with scrambled eggs. – Because even though I had an inner confidence in what I was worth, and recognition among professionals, but I was at the zero point. It was necessary that some uncles and aunts appreciated me. While sitting with his back to me. And if they didn’t turn around, then all my micro-merits in Moscow could crumble. People who respected what I was doing would say: "Well, you're screwed!"

Things were gradually going uphill, but a breakthrough was needed. Therefore, the energetic Belyaev ventured to go on television - in the show "Voice".

They turned around without waiting for the second verse of Wicked Game - all four members of the jury of the "Voice", from Dima Bilan to Alexander Gradsky, and the applicant faced the problem of choosing a mentor. Anton Belyaev, who played the piano from the age of five, was fond of jazz from the age of 13 and could not stand the Russian stage, went to Leonid Agutin, whom he respects as a musician who reformatted our pop music.

The impact of the brash and charismatic leader Therr Maitz on The Voice was immediate. “The first broadcast ended at half past eleven at night. And at half past one they called me - and the next day we were already doing the first event thanks to the Voice. And that's it! We've been doing it all the time since then!" laughs Anton, on whose fingers massive silver rings gleam. The orders that fell on the group put the musicians before a choice: stick to their songs, which are unusual for the mass listener, or adapt to what is considered to be popular taste. Belyaev again decided to take a chance: “The first fear that was fed by everyone around me was that your music is cool, but nobody needs it for hell. Stop singing in English. Make songs for "Russian Radio" - and do not get out."

The phenomenon of Anton Belyaev is that he is perhaps the first Russian star after Zemfira, who was ignited by our television, while his pro-Western music sprouted on jazz, funk and electronica of the 1990s. We call this kind of music “non-format”. Perhaps, like Leonid Agutin, Belyaev will be able to change the status quo. “All that has changed for us since Golos is the number of entries,” says Belyaev, whose group now charges up to two million rubles for speaking at private events. We don't need to explain anything to anyone. Now they are calling us. We work the same as before, and the people are the same. Only our resources have expanded, and now we can do things that we are interested in on a larger scale. ”

After a couple of broadcasts on “First”, Therr Maitz, who had not changed themselves, were already giving about forty concerts a month (“there was greed”), and Belyaev also had to act in “Voice”. It was a survival race, so the leader Therr Maitz was even glad that he left the show in the semi-finals. “All this, damn it, is not funny,” Anton smiles in response to a request to tell a joke from the tour. - It's when you don't go anywhere, you think that tours are fun. And it's just a job that you can't get rid of. It became boring on tour: you can’t throw the telly out the window - there is no time for rocker antics. And swearing on Instagram is no longer allowed, because children read.

After a couple of broadcasts on “First”, Therr Maitz was already giving about forty concerts a month, and Belyaev also had to act in “Voice”.

Belyaev knows how to swear - the adolescence spent in the harsh Magadan affects. Although Anton shone with his abilities at piano competitions, he failed to completely shield himself from a dysfunctional environment. However, his clear charm of a bully, which captivates many girls, is not borrowed - in Magadan, a gifted guy almost ran away from the instrument into the street. “From 12 to 17 years old, I had a strange period when I thought that I could be a gang leader or something like that. I had ambitions, I wanted to achieve something as quickly as possible. Then it seemed that in such a simple way - by a hooligan - they are realized faster. Of course, driving to the park with the boys, shaking random passers-by and selling cannabis is easier than playing the piano. Mom pulled me out of various troubles. And then at the age of 17 she was sent to Khabarovsk. I had to live on my own. I had to work - I had to survive. Work distracted me. The brain has switched.

Work is all that the life of the leader of the highly professional Therr Maitz gang consists of today. Family life is also difficult to separate from professional life - wife Julia is part-time director of Therr Maitz. Anton Belyaev no longer allows forty concerts a month, but the band's schedule is booked months in advance. This autumn, Therr Maitz will have their first concert in London. They will start with a small club of five hundred people, but they want to expand their presence abroad and have already hired an English company to promote. In parallel, they are going to record new songs, which will be released as singles and then formed into a new album by Therr Maitz. What will he be like? “Whatever. For example, only a cello with a piano,” Anton Belyaev smiles mischievously. “If that happens, we won’t make excuses. I've worried so much all my life about what I'm doing and how others will perceive it, that now I don't care at all. I realized that I would never think about it again.”

More recently, Russian musician Anton Belyaev and his band Therr Maitz were known and loved only in a narrow circle of like-minded people. Now the whole country knows about them. Their music inspires to something new and unusual, awakens to creativity. Thanks to participation in the national project "Voice", Anton Belyaev and Therr Maitz have become popular favorites. In this article, we will take a closer look at the leader of the group.

Artist roots

The parents of a successful musician, producer and TV presenter are far from the world of show business. Anton's father, Vadim Borisovich Belyaev, was born on December 4, 1946 in the city of Saratov, and worked almost all his life in a computer center as an electronics engineer. The artist's mother, Alfina Sergeevna Belyaeva (maiden name Konishcheva), was born on January 30, 1949, in the village of Zharbulak in Kazakhstan. She studied at the Geological College, and also received a diploma of graduation from the Pedagogical Institute. Worked as a programmer and computer science teacher.

The future spouses met in Kazakhstan, and in 1962 they moved to Magadan with their parents. In early 1968, they got married, and already in November of the same year they had their first child - daughter Lilia, Anton's older sister. Lilia is a graduate of the Khabarovsk Institute of Culture and works as a bibliographer. On September 18, 1979, another joyful event took place in the Belyaev family - a son was born, who was named Anton.

The beginning of the creative path

Anton Belyaev has been a musical child since childhood. His first consisted of mom - pots, lids and spoons. Parents immediately noticed their son's talent, so at the age of five they took him to a music school. Apparently, he no longer had the strength to endure his kitchen concerts.

Anton really wanted to learn to play the drums, but to his regret, children from nine years old were involved in drums. He had no choice but to master the piano. Despite the fact that the boy often missed classes due to illness, he participated in almost all music competitions and even received awards for prizes.

Difficult teenager and music

Anton was a very problematic child, a real bully. His parents suffered greatly from his youthful antics. The only thing that saved him from the unfavorable influence of the street was music.

When the future artist was thirteen, he met Evgeny Chernonog, the owner of a jazz studio, who invited the young man to his classes. Already at the age of fourteen, Belyaev played jazz compositions with famous Magadan musicians, and at sixteen he became part of a youth jazz orchestra.

From the English gymnasium No. 17, where Anton studied, he was expelled. He had to finish the ninth grade at school number 29. He did not see the point in studying further, so he decided to enter the Magadan Musical College in the piano department. But even there he did not last long - he was expelled for absenteeism.

Life in Khabarovsk

In 1997, Anton finally received a certificate of secondary education at the Magadan gymnasium No. 30, and then thanks to his heartfelt piano playing, which was so admired by local teachers. After that, at the insistence of his mother, Anton went to Khabarovsk, where he entered the pop-jazz department of the KhGIIK.

At first, the guy was easy to study, he even received an increased scholarship. Nevertheless, he saw no point in wiping his pants in the classroom, so he got a job almost immediately. Anton Belyaev, whose biography is filled with extraordinary actions and decisions, went to work as a musician in one of the clubs in Khabarovsk to the detriment of his studies.

The beginning of a producer's career

In 2004, Anton was appointed to the position of art director of the Rus club. There, the musician gathered talented guys into one team. Dmitry Pavlov (guitar), Maxim Bondarenko (bass), Evgeny Kozhin (drums), Konstantin Drobitko (trumpet) became its part. At the same time, Anton began to write music, which would later become the basis for the repertoire of the Therr Maitz group he created. This is how Anton Belyaev took his first steps in show business.

Moscow was already waiting for a talented musician. In 2006, Belyaev moved to the capital and began working as an arranger with such eminent Russian pop stars as Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Igor Grigoriev, Polina Gagarina, Elka, Nikolai Baskov, Maxim Pokrovsky and others. Work as an arranger brought financial results, but the artist was always attracted by high-quality music, which in Russia is classified as underground. In Moscow, the musician meets the guys whom he invites to the already formed team, and launches a project called Therr Maitz.

In 2011, Anton Belyaev's group begins active concert activity in Moscow clubs.

"Voice"

Therr Maitz had their own audience, loyal fans and connoisseurs of their work, but still the guys, and in particular their creator and frontman Anton Belyaev, wanted more. In 2013, the musical project "Voice-2" was launched. Anton Belyaev decided to go to the casting. For him, it was a good opportunity to express himself and his team, to acquaint the broad masses with high-quality and deep music.

To participate in the casting, Anton prepared a very beautiful song by Chris Isaac "Wicked Game" and was able to sing it in such a way that in the very first seconds of his performance all the judges wanted to work with him further. Anton did not expect such a turn of events, that he would have to choose among mentors. Among the four producers - Dima Bilan, Pelageya, Leonid Agutin - was the one with whom the musician wanted to work the most. He chose Leonid Agutin. Together with this mentor, Anton managed to reach the semi-finals of the competition. The audience will remember for a long time how at the New Year's concert of the First Channel two contestants of the Voice presented their number - Anton Belyaev and Oni flawlessly sang the song "Blurred lines". This number ignited the audience and brought its bright colors to the New Year's performance.

Features of the show "Voice"

Anton Vadimovich Belyaev admitted to the press that he planned to participate in the first season of The Voice and even got to the casting. But Belyaev did not go further, because he was afraid that he would lose his uniqueness, that he would be broken and he would become like all other Russian pop artists. I was also worried that a lot of people who listened to Therr Maitz would be disappointed in their idols.

Before the second season of the project, Anton reviewed all episodes in order to analyze the show for honesty and correctness. Convinced that the project was really worthwhile, he nevertheless decided to take part in it.

After the performance, the artist told the press about some of the nuances of the show that are not visible to the viewer from the TV screen. According to him, there are no random people on the Voice, the so-called amateur singers - only professional performers who want to tell the world about themselves participate in the project. All participants go through pre-casting, as a result of which only 140 people are allowed to listen to the judges. All the compositions that are performed on the first air are also not accidental - their participants are helped to choose by the mentors and vocal teachers themselves. It is also interesting that even before the first performance, all the artists get to know each other and communicate with the judges. Belyaev is sure that the viewer generally sees less than fifty percent of everything that happens on the show.

As for the atmosphere inside the project, the artist calls it very friendly. There are no those scandals and clashes that illuminate for the viewer. All this is done for intrigue and to stir up the interest of the public. In fact, all the participants are intelligent people and treat each other very well.

Relationship to fame

An attractive young man with a charming smile in an elegant suit with an amazingly beautiful voice - what else does the public need? It is not surprising that Anton Belyaev, after the broadcast of the Voice show, woke up a celebrity. He admits that he went to the project precisely for the sake of this, for the sake of the fame of his group, but did not expect such an effect. The artist is even a little upset that now he cannot just walk down the street and calmly get a haircut at the barbershop. His fans follow him everywhere.

But the main goal of the singer, producer and just a lover of quality music has been achieved - the country has become interested in his work. In April of this year, Therr Maitz's second album was released. And on May 15, their first enchanting solo concert will take place at the Arena Moscow nightclub. The musicians plan to see more than 3,500 thousand people at their performance.

Personal life

In 2012, unfortunately for the fans, Belyaev tied the knot. The wife of the artist was Markova, who comes from the city of Szekesfehervar, one of the most important settlements, Julia graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. She began her career in the publication "Evening Moscow", later worked as a correspondent and TV presenter for the channels "Muz-TV", "Channel One", "DTV", "Russian Music Box". Currently, Anton Belyaev and his wife not only live, but also work together. Julia is the director of the Therr Maitz group and part-time editor of the Europe Plus TV channel.

The musical talent of the famous performer Anton Belyaev, who feels equally good in any musical genre from trip-hol to electronics, manifested itself in early childhood. Noticing his attraction to creativity, his parents sent 5-year-old Anton to the Magadan music school No. 1. His first desire was to learn to play the drums, but he did not fit the age (he was taught to play drums from the age of 9), so he settled on the piano class.

Talking about his childhood musical idols, Anton Belyaev says that he listened to a variety of music, from Stevie Wonder to electronic bands like United Six. At the same time, he “fell in love” with each of the “idols”, that is, he completely immersed himself in their work. This probably helped him later create his own atmosphere of music - original, unique, catchy. However, the passion for idols is a thing of the past, Anton admits today, noting that he is too cynical for this. According to Belyaev, he does not believe in miracles, and in order to create something interesting, you need to look everywhere and do your job well.

At an early age, the current leader Therr Maitz was a sickly child, but despite this, he participated and won many music competitions. As a teenager, Belyaev began attending the jazz studio of Yevgeny Chernonogoy, and a year later he was already performing with a jazz band popular in the city. Later, Anton took part in the recording of well-known jazz standards together with the head of the studio, and also performs as part of a youth jazz orchestra.

After school, the musician entered the Magadan School of Music in piano, but he did not study there for long. Due to his excessive passion for jazz, Anton was expelled and he completed his studies at Magadan Gymnasium No. 30. His heartfelt piano playing helped him win the love of all the teachers of the gymnasium. Later, Anton's family changed their location and moved to Khabarovsk, where the boys entered the State Institute of Culture and Arts. During his studies, he managed not only to receive an increased scholarship, but also to perform at night in parallel.

After graduating from the university, the musician at one time worked as the art director of the Rus nightclub. It was his technical base that allowed Belyaev to start writing music, which became the basis for the work of the future Therr Maitz band. However, the artist's creative ambitions are looking for their expression, so in 2006 he comes to Moscow. Later, Anton admits that he had a desire to move to the capital from the very beginning, because in the regions there is simply no suitable field of activity for a bright jazz player. According to Belyaev, our country has a very developed history with the "center of the universe", while in relation to music this is especially clearly expressed.

The first years of his life in Moscow, the musician was engaged, in his own words, in the production of pop melodies and producing performers whom he "cannot stand." This activity allowed him to earn money and gradually penetrate the world of show business, but at some point she began to choke him. Due to the large amount of work, Belyaev even had a nervous breakdown, because he made up to 15 arrangements a month!

In 2011, the musician, together with a renewed creative team, launches the Therr Maitz project and begins to give concerts. According to the musician, there was no turning point in the popularity of the group, it was just that the group was steadily moving in the chosen direction and more and more people learned about its existence. At first, the team devoted a lot of effort to working together, understanding each other, learning how to participate partners. Approximately a year later, such contact was established, and now the musicians are directing more efforts to perfecting the concert program.

Today Anton Belyaev is also known for his participation in the 2nd season of the popular TV show "Voice". In 2013, after performing the song Wicked Game in the qualifying round, he got into the group of Leonid Agutin. During his participation in the program, Anton gained invaluable experience and became widely known and popular in Russia. In addition, many people know him as a resident of the Jazz Parking project. He believes that giving preference to his music, people buy the atmosphere, so he is happy to communicate with his audience not only during concerts, but also before and after them.
