Andrey Petrov is a popular Russian makeup artist, stylist, and more recently a singer. There are only a few tracks in the young man's musical piggy bank. In an interview with Larin, Petrov opened the veil, saying that his fans will have a full-fledged studio album in 2020.
The name of Petrov borders on a challenge to society and provocations. He does not hide his belonging to a sexual minority and in every possible way defends the LGBT community.
The childhood and youth of Andrei Petrov
Andrey Petrov was born in 1996 in a small provincial town. The young man deliberately hides his place of residence, because he is ashamed of the city in which he grew up. Petrov has repeatedly said that he was brought up in a fairly wealthy family.
In one of his interviews, Andrey said:
“I have wealthy parents. I was the only guy at school who was brought to study in a car. I always had fashionable things, and I stood out from my peers ... ”.
Andrei grew up in a conservative and strict family. Petrov studied well at school. In his teenage years, he became interested in video blogging and basketball.
Petrov always had a tense relationship with his classmates. The guy looked down on everyone, and when he tried on the “crown” on his head, he completely “shot” his former classmates with “flattering” words.
After graduation, Andrei moved to Moscow. Here he entered the prestigious Moscow University. With studies, it didn’t work out almost from the first days - Petrov did not want to study, because he plunged headlong into video blogging.
Andrei does not regret that he did not receive a higher education. He believes that success can be achieved without education. Despite the lack of a diploma, Petrov is an intelligent conversationalist. He repeatedly put his interlocutors in their place. Moreover, the young man does not cross the line - in any dispute he behaves with dignity and restraint.
Andrey Petrov's blog
Petrov's video blog is about fashion, beauty and cosmetics. Andrei interested the audience with a disturbing appearance. The young man appeared before the audience in bright makeup and with a long manicure. This Russian-language YouTube has not yet seen.
Andrey's passion for cosmetics began with the usual BB cream, which the young man used as a teenager to hide acne on his face. At the graduation party, Petrov already applied a professional foundation to give his face an even tone.
Since that time, he appeared in society exclusively with beautiful makeup on his face. In parallel with this, the young man filmed videos in which he shared the secrets of beauty and makeup. It has beauty parsing sections and colloquial mukbangs.
After the parents saw what their son was doing in the capital, they “gently” asked him to change the type of activity. Petrov responded sharply, after which communication with mom and dad stopped. Today Andrei maintains a warm relationship only with his mother.
The beauty of Andrei Petrov requires sacrifice
To attract subscribers, Petrov lay down on the surgical table. He changed the shape of his chin and enlarged his lips. With an updated appearance, he gained new fans. Andrei has about 1 million subscribers on the YouTube channel and even more subscribers on Instagram.
In addition to videos on the topic of cosmetics, Andrey often touches on important social issues. The celebrity shares her opinion on HIV testing with her audience, and also urges not to judge people for their appearance, orientation and lifestyle.
To attract new viewers to his YouTube channel, Petrov often makes videos with his friends Vlad Mirov, Anton S. and Timofey Leksikov.
In April 2018, Andrey became a member of the Makeupers program, broadcast on the Friday TV channel. Despite the lack of experience, the young man managed to reach the semi-finals, defeating Elya Bun, Mary Dove and Anna Izmailova. But in the semi-finals, Andrey messed up his make-up a little, and another participant won.
The most discussed event of 2019 was Andrey's participation in the Cannon project. This time, it was not Ksenia Hoffman who interviewed, but Petrov himself. His opponent turned out to be Volodya HHL, who spoke negatively towards gays.
In his video, Volodya called for the shooting of representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation. Petrov fully recouped on the star of the Tik-Tok resource. The video featuring Petrov and Volodya HHL gained over 5 million views.
Music by Andrey Petrov
2019 opened another one of his talents for Andrey Petrov's fans. Now the young man positions himself as a singer. True, the haters still managed to mock his flow, but Petrov “rushes” like a tank and cannot be stopped.
On December 20, 2019, the music video for Pidor premiered. Andrey Petrov "did not disappoint" the expectations of the fans. In the video, he appeared before the audience in a half-naked form, singing to music lovers about the taste of easy money.
In a few months, the video clip has gained more than 3 million views. Not everyone was enthusiastic about the track, giving the clip 70 thousand dislikes. Petrov himself was pleased with the work done.
On April 21, 2020, Petrov's musical piggy bank was replenished with a new track. We are talking about the musical composition "Aladdin". Petrov presented the song in one of the social networks while in Bali. Obviously, the composition was recorded earlier. A little later, Petrov presented the tracks to "Former" and Big Ben.
Andrey promised to present his debut album in May 2020. However, the plans of the young man have changed a little. The fact is that at the time when he went to rest in Bali, quarantine measures were introduced in Russia. Petrov did not take risks and told the fans that he would stay in another country for some time, because he felt safer there.
Andrey Petrov's personal life
Andrey Petrov, from the moment he started the video blog, said that he would never, under any circumstances, talk about his personal life. But the young man mentioned that he had two serious novels - the first was still at school, and the second - in the capital.
Petrov said that he had a relationship with an influential Moscow businessman. Until 2018, Andrei hid his orientation. A little later, the young man announced that he was gay.
In September 2019, Andrey came out by posting a video called "I'm Gay" on his blog. Later, Petrov got a video where he calls his mother and tells her that he is gay. Mom was not happy with what her son said, but she still told him that she loves.
Then Andrei spoke about the fact that he broke up with his boyfriend. The reason for the breakup was the betrayal of a partner. Andrei brought his partner to "clean water" and chose to part with him.
Andrew has no children. He dreams of moving to live in a more civilized country. Petrov does not exclude the possibility of surrogate motherhood, - he announced this at a meeting with Volodya HHL.
Andrey Petrov today
In 2020, Petrov pleased his fans with the news that he was launching his own merch. Everyone will be able to purchase clothes with interesting logos.
The new year was not without scandals. Earlier it became known that Andrei and his friends became participants in a "brawl" with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Teacher's Newspaper" Arslan Khasavov. The latter turned out to be a neighbor of the scandalous blogger.
Petrov lost several nails. The fight happened because Andrei and his friends were listening to music loudly. Soon, several commercials with the participation of Petrov and Khasaev were shown on the federal television channel of Russia.
