In 1980, the son of Stas was born in the family of singer Ilona Bronevitskaya and jazz musician Pyatras Gerulis. The boy was destined to become a famous musician, because, in addition to his parents, his grandmother Edita Piekha was also an outstanding singer.
Stas' grandfather was a Soviet composer and conductor. Great-grandmother sang in the Leningrad Chapel.
The early years of Stas Piekha
Shortly after the birth of Stas, his parents divorced. Ilona married a second time and gave birth to a daughter.
While still quite a baby, Stas often performed on stage with his star grandmother. When he was 7 years old, the grandmother took over the upbringing of her grandson and the boy began to live with her.
Despite the fact that Piekha studied at the Glinka Choir School, he left for Spain to become a hair stylist. Before gaining fame, the young man did not have time to work in his profession for long.
The Star Factory project and huge popularity
Stas Piekha gained real popularity thanks to the Star Factory project. The composition "One Star", which Drobysh wrote for the musician, instantly became a hit.
During the project, the singer performed a duet with such stage masters as Valeria, Ken Hensley and others.
Piekha did not become the winner of the fourth season of the Star Factory project, but managed to get into the top three finalists. Having received a well-deserved award - the opportunity to record a solo album, the young man set to work. Stas recorded one of the songs with his grandmother Edita.
Artist career after the project
The Star Factory project provided a good springboard for the development of Piekha as an artist. The singer became a frequent guest on various programs. In 2005, Stas took part in the reality show "The Last Hero". True, the young man could not reach the final.
Trying to experiment with style, Stas Piekha recorded a new album in 2008. In parallel, the singer often appeared at various awards and performed songs with Grigory Leps and Valeria.
From 2009 to 2011 Stas tried himself as a TV presenter and mentor of the Ukrainian show "Voice of the Country".
In 2014, the musician released his third album called "10" - that's how many years Stas Piekha performed on stage.
Stas Piekha: personal life
While still a member of the Star Factory project, the young man won the hearts of millions of girls in the country. A young, handsome, stylish guy has become a dream for many girls.
The artist always tried to keep his personal life a secret. However, fans became aware that Piekha had been dating singer Victoria Smirnova for about four years.
After parting, Stas was credited with novels with many actresses and singers. But the heart of the young man was conquered by the model Natalya Gorchakova, who gave Piekha an heir.
Two years after the wedding, the marriage broke up. Piekha does not have a soul in a child and fully provides for him. Since then, rumors about the next relationship of the musician often appear in the media. Stas prefers not to comment on gossip.
Problems with drugs and alcohol
As a child, the future artist was often left to himself. Parents were often on tour and did not control the teenager. So drugs and alcohol appeared in the life of Stas Piekha.
A young man could not appear at home for several days, and light up in a club all night long. One day, Stas took too much of the pills and ended up in a hospital bed.
Then the guy was only 14. Gradually, the young man switched from soft drugs to methadone and heroin. Fortunately, the relatives noticed that something was happening to Stas and sounded the alarm.
Few people knew that Stas felt lonely and abandoned. The young man was able not to use drugs after suffering a heart attack three times.
Piekha does not hide his drug addiction past. Moreover, he tries in every possible way to help people who find themselves in the same situation as he himself once was. Stas founded a clinic for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction. The musician has been “clean” of drugs for more than 5 years.
Stas Piekha: interesting facts about the artist
When Stas was 7 years old, he took his grandmother's surname. This is because the male gender "Piekha" broke off during the Great Patriotic War. Thus, Stas became the successor of the family.
Since Piekha is a stylist-hairdresser by education, he invents images for himself and never uses the services of other masters.
Once Stas had a big fight with his relatives, then he decided to run away from home. Unsuccessfully jumping out of the window, the musician broke his leg.
The singer's grandmother was the guardian of one of the orphanages. Piekha met his pupils and often stayed overnight with them. He admitted that he had his own bed in the orphanage.
For some time, the musician received letters from a fan in love. When it became clear from the letters that the girl was following the idol, he strengthened the security.
Having stopped using illegal drugs, Stas began to play sports. The singer rarely publishes photos from the gym, but let slip that he can push a barbell off his chest, the weight of which is more than 100 kg.
The young man not only makes music, but also writes poetry. At the moment, Piekha has already released two collections of poems.
Unlike many colleagues on the stage, Stas has a negative attitude towards plastic surgery. By his own admission, the singer would not want to meet a girl who, after visiting a surgeon, actively uses cosmetics.
