AkStar is a popular Russian musician, blogger, and prankster. The talent of Pavel Aksenov (real name of the artist) became known thanks to social networks, since it was there that the first works of the musician appeared.
Childhood and youth AkStar
He was born in the cultural capital of Russia - St. Petersburg, on September 2, 1993. Almost nothing is known about Aksenov's childhood and youth.
Music has become the main hobby in the life of a teenager. He mastered playing the guitar and since then very rarely releases a musical instrument from his hands. A little later, he learned to play the piano. Pavel has a well-trained voice.
AkStar's creative path
At the end of January 2014, the young talent got an account on YouTube video hosting. Since then, Aksenov has been uploading covers of popular tracks to the channel. Musical works of famous bands and singers - he plays the guitar.
His channel developed and flourished until 2019. Then the musician's account was hacked. On the same day, Pavel received several messages from his dad's VKontakte page.
An anonymous user admitted that it was he who hacked the account. He offered Pavel to buy the page for a certain amount of money, but Aksyonov refused. The hacker kept his promise - he removed all content from the Akstar channel.
Pavel turned to his friend Yarik Bro for help. A day later, the channel was restored, but under the name "Yegor Ponarchuk". Some time later, the account was hacked again. When the guys re-restored the channel, it was named "Southern Sun". During the period of interruptions, several thousand followers unsubscribed from Pavel.
Bloggers decided to support Pavel and launched a peaceful action with the hashtag “#akstarzhivi”. This time, Aksyonov failed to restore the material that had accumulated on the channel. Pavel had to refill the channel with new material. After some time, Aksenov renamed the channel, and it was called AkStar.
He continued to delight fans with the release of new material. Aksyonov took up the creation of covers and the reaction of the girls in the chat-roulette to the musician. Often, collaborations with other musicians and singers appear on his channel.
In his creative biography there was a place for anti-prizes. So, according to the calculations of the analytical company BloggerBase, in the position for 2020, Aksenov’s channel took 5th place among all Russian ones in terms of the number of dislikes. Pavel collected a little less than 50 thousand diz.
His channel has several million subscribers. He leads social networks in which he shares interesting videos, photos and plans for the future.
At the end of March 2020, Aksenov presented his debut composition. We are talking about the musical work "Malvina". Pavel said that he dedicated the track to his girlfriend. Fans warmly welcomed the song.

The musician is in a relationship with the charming Christina Budnik. Like Pavel, the girl lives in St. Petersburg. She often appears in the videos of the musician. They were united by their love of music. Christina sings well and supports Pavel in his creative endeavors.
