Despite the fact that Rudin is a well-known person, little information is provided on the network about his childhood and youth. However, the journalists managed to find out that he was in the same class with Andrei Malakhov (showman, journalist, TV presenter). By the way, celebrities still maintain friendly relations.
At school, Eugene studied well. After receiving a matriculation certificate, he headed to the cultural capital of Russia, clearly realizing that nothing was waiting for him in his homeland.
Rudin's creative path started in St. Petersburg. In this city, he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory without much effort. For several years, Eugene honed his vocal abilities. He dreamed of becoming a singer, but soon decided to try his hand at something new. Rudin stood at the DJ console.
