Anna Dziuba, the soloist of the popular duet Artik & Asti, is known and loved not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in other countries. Asti is a young, successful and purposeful girl. She not only performs on stage and records new popular tracks, but also develops her own business.
Biography
Anna was born on June 24, 1990. The singer is Ukrainian by nationality. Her parents live in the city of Cherkasy, where the artist herself comes from.
Anya's childhood passed on the banks of the Dnieper. The girl grew up in a large and friendly family. Together with their sister, they often arranged concerts for relatives. Even at a young age, Anya dreamed of becoming an artist, but did not take this desire seriously. The girl believed that it was impossible to get into show business in an honest way. Despite this, she continued to sing and make videos.
After school, Anna managed to try on different professions. She worked as a make-up artist, legal assistant in a law firm. At the same time, the girl continued to dream about the stage, although she resigned herself to the fact that her desire was unattainable.
Once Anya recorded her own song, and her classmates posted a video on Youtube. Then the girl realized that her dream could become a reality.
And so it happened. One evening the fateful call rang out.
Duet Artik & Asti - history of the group
Artika's real name is Artyom Umrikhin. The singer was born in Zaporozhye in 1985. At the age of 11, Artem became interested in hip-hop and soon recorded the first compositions. In 2003, he created the Karat group. Then the young man moved to Kyiv.
By 2010, Artik became quite famous in the music scene. He collaborated with such stars as Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedokova and Ivan Dorn. By the time he met Anna, Artem was looking for a singer who could join the new duet. On the Internet, he came across a recording of Anya's song. He immediately liked the girl, and he decided to find out who she was. Artik learned Ani's phone from the soloist of the group "Mushrooms" Yuri Bardash.
Before meeting Anna personally, she already knew who Artik was, and was surprised to hear a familiar voice on the phone. The girl immediately agreed to the producer's proposal. So Anna ended up in Kyiv, where the guys recorded the first compositions as a group of Artik pres Asti. But soon Artyom shortened the name of the duet to Artik & Asti.
First they released the song "Antistress". But despite the quality work, this track did not have much success. This did not stop the guys, and soon they released a video for their second song "My Last Hope".
With this song, the path to glory began. The track became popular and got on the radio. The duo began to recognize and invite the guys to performances.
In 2013, Artik & Asti released their first album "#RayOneForTwo". And next year, the duo was already working on a new collection. The album "Here and Now" was released in 2015.
Since 2014, the guys have been appearing on the prestigious charts in Russia, Ukraine and other countries, rising to ever higher positions each time. In the same year, the duet was nominated for the "Russian MusicBox" award as "Best Promotion". Already in 2015, the album "Here and Now" became triple platinum, and Artik & Asti won the "Best Pop Project" nomination of the "Annual Music Award".
In 2016, the guys filmed a provocative video for the song "You Can Do Anything" based on the movie "50 Shades of Grey". Actress Agniya Ditkovskite and ballet dancer Aykhan Shinzhin took part in the video. This composition took several prestigious music awards at once: Golden Gramophone, Major League.
In mid-2016, the duo recorded the single "I'm Yours", and in early 2017 the guys released their third album, "Number 1". Before the release of this LP, Artik & Asti released a video for the song "Indivisible". This song has become the most popular and recognizable in the history of the group. The composition received several prestigious awards and for a long time occupied high lines in the country's music charts. "Number 1" also received the status of a platinum album. In support of the LP, the duet held a large tour of the cities of Russia.
In 2018, the duet became the "Group of the Year" according to 2 prestigious music awards at once: "MUZ-TV" and "Fashion People Awards".
The team is now experiencing the peak of popularity. They are invited to social events and festivals. The guys still have a lot of victories ahead.
Personal life
In addition to the stage, Anya leads an active social life.
In 2016, the singer opened a beauty salon, where she spends a lot of time talking with fans and helping them transform.
In the fall of 2017, Anna, together with the All in love boutique, launched her own line of underwear.
But little is known about the singer's personal life. Anna does not advertise her relationship on Instagram or other social networks. It is known that in 2015 the girl met with a young man with whom she was very close. But 2 years later, she experienced a painful breakup and threw herself into work and business.
Anna is a young and beautiful girl. It is not surprising that rumors arise around her person. Due to the lack of information about her personal life, fans often come up with non-existent facts.
Artik and Asti - did the couple have an affair
Duets, consisting of a guy and a girl, often appear on the Russian stage. At the same time, team members often have close relationships. The romantic lyrics of Artik & Asti give a lot of discussion among the fans.
For a long time, fans wondered if Anna and Artem were dating. In fact, there are no romantic relationships between young people, and together they are only on stage or on set. Also, Anna Dzyuba and Artem Umrikhin are not relatives, although the girl often admits in an interview that she treats Artik as an older brother.
Anna had a young man, a photo with whom she sometimes posted on Instagram. They recently broke up. And now Asti is looking for the man of her dreams.
During the existence of the group, Artem had a lover. They got married and recently had a son, Ethan. Artik is an exemplary father and often posts photos with his family on social media.
Anna is pregnant
Rumors about Anna's pregnancy did not arise from scratch. Fans perceived as the news about the future baby, the appeal that Asti recorded for her future daughter on the day of happiness.
Later, in an interview, the girl admitted that she would very much like a big family and many children, but now this is impossible. All her strength is taken away by work.
Since the singer broke up with her boyfriend, you should not expect an early replenishment in Anna's family. The girl spends a lot of time on tour, recording and her own business. Of course, she is trying to arrange her personal life. But Anna avoids questions about the young man, hinting only that she now has a young man.
Singer before and after plastic surgery
At the beginning of her career, Anna was a well-fed girl. Journalists unsuccessfully photographed the girl, giving her appearance additional volumes. This caused Ani a lot of complexes.
Now the girl managed to put the figure in order. With a height of 175 centimeters, her weight is barely more than 55 kilograms. She admits that she rarely goes in for sports, and yoga, stretching and meditation help to keep herself in shape.
In addition, the girl does not hide the fact that she visited plastic surgeons. Those who follow Anya's life will easily notice this in the photographs of the singer. The girl's face has undergone major changes. Anna removed Bish's lumps and did rhinoplasty. In addition, she resorted to the help of cosmetology to increase the volume of her lips. Now her face looks thinner, and her nose has become thinner and neater. Asti also enlarged her breasts.
Now the singer is not shy about cameras. And the Maxim magazine, which posted a photo of the girl, included Anna Dzyuba in the list of 100 sexiest women in Russia.
In addition to plastic surgery, the girl's body is decorated with tattoos, which can be seen in the photographs of naked Anna. Asti periodically replenishes its collection with new images. She recently decided to change the tattoo on her right arm. Now, instead of a small treble clef, the girl's hand is decorated with a whole picture, which was made by Artem Maga from the Moscow tattoo parlor Lapinio Tattoo.

Tell us how your duet came together?
Artik: I had an idea to create my own production project for a long time. Before that, I just collaborated with many artists, they attracted me as a sound producer. And then one day I felt that I was ready to develop further and found Asti!)
Asti: one evening my phone rang, I picked up the phone - Artik called! I recognized his voice on the phone because I was previously familiar with his work. At first I couldn't believe that he just picked up and called. Art suggested that I try to work together for a bit, he said he was going to the studio to write me a song. And a couple of days later we met and recorded the song "ANTISTRESS". From that moment on, we worked together, so to speak.
2. Why is the group called artik&asti?
Asti: Artik has been performing under this name for a long time, and we came up with a pseudonym for me.
Popular
Artik: because my name is Artik, and her name is Asti!
3. Artik, you have already managed to work with many artists, with whom did you remember the work the most?
Artik: It's very cool to work with everyone. I work exclusively with those with whom I share musical views and whose work I enjoy. Dzhigan, Ivan Dorn, Zhenya Milkovsky (gr. Nerva), DJ SMASH, Anna Sedokova, L "One and many others. I think these names themselves speak of their professionalism.
4. Who is your muse, songwriting inspiration?
Artik: It's not a specific person or thing. This is everything that surrounds me in general.
5. Have you had to tour Europe or America?
Artik: We have a lot of performances in Europe, especially in Germany. Although so far only for the Russian-speaking audience. But I think that in the near future we will do something in English, then perhaps new horizons will open.
Asti: In general, we are planning a lot of things, but in Europe we have been performing for a long time, we have frequent tours in Germany, we have already visited Latvia, Austria, and Lithuania, and in general there are many cities abroad outside of Europe.
6. You have traveled to many cities with tours. Where did you like it the most?
Artik: Not the word a lot! Everywhere is beautiful. Russia is a very beautiful country, with crazy nature. If we take the cities, then my favorites are Vladivostok, St. Petersburg, Kazan.
Asti: Every city is beautiful in its own way. For example, I really love touring in Haifa (Israel), Vilnius, I remember this city very well for its platform and the energy of people, at some point I even got goosebumps), and our first most singing city was Samara.
7. Do you consider your duet successful?
Artik: Success is a relative concept. I believe that in music the concept of a successful or unsuccessful artist depends on the number of concerts and the reaction of people at concerts. I can say this, last year we had about 150 concerts. I think it's a success!
Asti: Why not? We have done a lot in a year, we are known throughout Russia and in many places even abroad. Moreover, I know that this is only the beginning. Yes, for my two-year-old age, our project is definitely successful
8. Your album "Here and Now" was recently released. What is the number of this album, and why such a title?

Artik: All countries and cities are beautiful in their own way. I really love Vienna. I visit this city most of the time. It's very beautiful and peaceful there.
Asti: Yes, of course! Also, because of my job, I travel a lot. Most of all I remember Austria, the city of Vienna. We arrived there before Christmas, I have never felt such a magical atmosphere. It has beautiful architecture and very nice people.
12. Who or what is your biggest temptation? Why?
After conducting surveys of acquaintances and reading hundreds of pages about them, they could not sort out the most juicy. Their image travels and is driven into the ribbed sole. She is yin, he is yang. And there is no way to separate them. And who are they really? Artik&Asti playing a thousand roles in their compositions. The beginning of the way. The Artik&Asti group blows up the musical Olympus of our show business and goes unnoticed. And only NightOut became available, what remains behind the scenes.
- Who is Artik? Who is Asti? With the name change, life turned in a different direction?
Artik: Artik is practically my middle name. My real name is Artem. At first, my friends called me simply Art, short for my name. Later it grew into Artik.
Asti: It's still the real us, Asti is just a stage name. And my life completely changed because I achieved my cherished dream.
- Tell us about your musical start?
Artik: I started getting into music at the age of 11. Then for the first time I heard how a neighbor's guy was reciting the texts of the Malchishnik group and I really liked it, and I began to get involved in rap music. Later I got a computer and the first thing I did was buy a program for writing music. This is how my first songs appeared.
Asti: I loved music since childhood, I sang at all possible events, I liked the audience, I liked the stage. But I could never imagine it real, I didn’t think seriously about the career of a singer. So one fine evening Artik called me and it all started from that moment. We tried to record a couple of test songs together and "sang" so to speak.
Artik, when did the reassessment of musical creativity happen? Looking for a female voice
Artik: I have always worked with vocalists. I love beautiful voices and melodic songs. Creativity was re-evaluated in 2011 when I decided to create my own production project. That's how I found Asti.
- Asti, how did the capital meet you?
Asti: Amazing!) It was, of course, difficult at first to change your little world into a completely opposite one. But if it's "yours", then everything is in the best possible way. I immediately felt the energy of the big city, which still inspires and energizes me.
- Asti, I know that your idol in pop music is Whitney Houston. Do you want to achieve such heights?
Asti: Of course! But I always look at life very realistically, and I think that very few people in the whole world can achieve such heights as she does. She is luxurious, unique and insanely talented, such people are born with a special purpose.
- What people inspire in the world of show business?
Artik: Jay Z, Kanye West, Drake, Rihanna, Pharell, Beyonce and many more.
Asti: Oh, there are a lot of them! Well, for example: Beyonce, Jessie J, Sam Smith, Jessie ware, nicki minaj and many others)) these people inspire and serve as an example for me, not only because I like their songs, but also because they work hard on themselves, with their shows, and of course with their music. An artist is, in principle, a "picture" and music, but in order for it to be interesting, you need to make a lot of effort.
- Artik, you combine so many roles (producer, composer), didn’t you think to stop at one?
Artik: All these roles are very closely interconnected and do not interfere with each other, but rather complement each other. But as I get older, I get more and more into producing.
- If you did not become artists, what profession would you choose?
Artik: I chose this profession as a child and went to this all my life. So I can't even imagine. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. I have a law degree, but I would not be able to work in this area.
Asti: I am a very versatile person, everything is interesting to me!) I don’t know if I would become a flight attendant!
- You quickly took off to the Olympus of show business, what difficulties did you encounter?
Artik: Difficulties in our show business are the same for everyone. Our radio stations and TV channels do not like to support young performers and are often judged very subjectively. But this is their right. Our songs are loved by the people, and this is the most important thing.
- Doubts, "what mom would think and what dad would think" have you ever visited?
Artik: I don't do anything to make me doubt it!)
Asti: This is not doubt, but respect for parents. These words never leave me because I always remember those I love. But I quickly became independent and matured in relation to my actions and decisions, so few people can influence them at all.
- With the advent of popularity, it breaks your head and whims appear, are you prone to this?
Artik: We all people. But most likely these are not whims, but simply new standards. This is normal for any developing person.
Asti: I will not say that these are whims, maybe I am becoming more demanding, but this does not always happen. As for whims, you better ask my concert manager))) I think he sometimes wants to kill me for my temper. But this also happens only in moments of fatigue and difficult concert schedules, when the nerves are at the limit, and I'm still the only girl in our team - everyone understands me.
- How do you manage to go into the shadows, because you are in plain sight, probably showing everything with your finger?
Artik: So far we've had good luck with it. A very large number of people know our songs, but do not know us by sight, because. we are a relatively new team.
Asti: Well, you, we don’t live in a zoo)) sometimes we are recognized, sometimes not, and so far I am very happy about this, because I can enjoy it when I live a normal life.
- The phrase "we're just friends" implies a deep subtext. And no one believes in this friendship, why?
Artik: Why doesn't anyone believe? Everyone believes and knows!
Asti: Because people want to believe that everything is not so simple. We do not see any subtext in this, others are looking for, to each his own.
- And what's between you?
Artik: First of all, friendly relations. But of course, work unites us!
Asti: We are not only friends, but also partners. Anyway, Art is like an older brother to me. I often consult with him and always consider his opinion, he has done a lot for me, and I will always be grateful for that.
- Your personal life under seven seals. Open the curtain.
Artik: There is no curtain! There's just not much to say!)
Asti: That's why it is personal, to remain so. When I have some special news, I will definitely share it with you.
- Asti, you are getting smaller every day. The pursuit of immeasurable model parameters?
Asti: In no case! I love beautiful shapes, I love to eat. Of course, it is necessary to follow the figure, but I am for health, and not for exhaustion for the sake of losing weight. It’s just that sometimes there are moments when I, on my own, without exhausting diets, lose weight. I, like any girl, naturally like it. Slenderness is always in the face.
- "Here and now" - when is the release of your quivering product?
Artik: On January 20, the album has already appeared in iTunes, and the most ardent admirers of our work can already pre-order and be the first to hear our creation! The full release is set for February 13th!
- How are your priorities in life: music, family, money, personal relationships?
Artik: Of course, family is the most important thing in life! It is impossible to divide priorities between work and family! These are completely different things! And it's perfectly normal when a person has both a job and a family!
Asti: No matter how it sounds, nothing and no one can give me more pleasure than music. Then the family and personal relationships, for which there is a catastrophic lack of strength or time ... And already the last place is occupied by money, you can’t buy happiness for them.
- Everyone is called a star and has the right to shine, agree?
Artik: we are all free people!
Asti: Well, if this one didn’t mark himself with a star, then yes.
- Could you formulate the ideology that Artik promotes and grow?
Artik: We promote love!
Asti: We promote love and kindness, sincerity and feelings.
