STASIK is an aspiring Ukrainian performer, actress, TV presenter, participant in the war on the territory of Donbass. She cannot be attributed to typical Ukrainian singers. The artist is favorably distinguished - strong texts and service to her country.
Short haircut, expressive and a little frightened look, sharp movements. This is how she appeared before the audience. Fans, commenting on STASIK's "entry" on the stage, say that when watching the clips they have mixed feelings - the singer repels, and at the same time, attracts.
In order to be imbued with the singer's work, you should definitely start by listening to the tracks "Koliskova for the enemy" and "Nizh". Frank songs and discussion of topical issues that are taking place in Ukraine today have attracted the attention of music lovers from all over the world.
By the way, not only the younger generation is interested in the singer's work. According to STASIK, sometimes even pensioners are present at the concerts.
Childhood and youthful years of the singer Anastasia Shevchenko
The artist's date of birth is July 14, 1993. Anastasia Shevchenko was born in Kyiv. It is known that Nastya was brought up in an ordinary middle-class family. Parents have nothing to do with creativity. So, the head of the family realized himself as a private entrepreneur, and the mother - a psychologist.
She attended one of the Kyiv schools. Creative thinking and a non-standard vision of a particular situation accompanied Anastasia from childhood and adolescence. Nastya was drawn to creativity. As a teenager, Shevchenko played in the theater "DAH".
“Performances in the theater were almost always accompanied by colorful folk songs. Without prejudice, I will say that at that time I did not know how to sing beautifully, but I gravitated towards folk art. My mistake is that I realized late that you can use the services of a vocal teacher.
In one of the interviews, Nastya admitted that she was filming and acting in films. In addition, she professionally danced the dances of the Caucasus. Shevchenko's biography is rich not only in creative achievements.
Anastasia matured early. Patriotism and devotion to her country resulted in the fact that in 2013-2014 she took part in Euromaidan. Then she went to the front, where she worked as a medical shooter. After some time, the girl was forced to return home. The girl's health failed.
The creative path of the artist
In 2016, the debut video of the singer premiered. We are talking about the work "Through Khmіl". In an interview, Nastya says that she did not have a grandiose plan to become a professional singer. At one time, Shevchenko simply had a desire to share his thoughts through music.
The debut clip was not seen by many people. For Anastasia, it cost a lot of effort to star in the video. According to the plot of the video clip, it was buried in the ground.
Around the same period of time, she writes the text of "Koliskova for the enemy", but is in no hurry to record a piece of music. When she finished writing the text, she was introduced to Alexander Manatskov (a Russian opposition composer, one of the activists of the “Putin must go” movement), who at that time was in the capital of Ukraine.
He liked what Shevchenko was doing, and he offered to write music for her text. This is how the first version of "Koliskovskaya for the enemy" appeared - in an instrumental arrangement for clarinet and cello.
From 2017 to 2018, she worked as a TV presenter on one of the Ukrainian TV channels. Shevchenko's fans could watch her in the program "Cultural Poster of a Healthy People" on the UA: Pershiy TV channel.
Works under the pseudonym STASIK
In 2019, she began releasing compositions under the pseudonym STASIK. Soon Nastya pleased the fans of her work with the premiere of the track "Nizh". An unrealistically cool track was also recorded on the track, about which literally the entire musical community of the capital of Ukraine spoke.
Anastasia herself became the author of the text, but Igor Gromadsky, the owner of the Gromadskiy Record studio, a talented arranger and sound engineer, worked on the music. Avant-garde hip-hop performed by Shevchenko was warmly received not only by fans, but also by music critics.
In the middle of summer, Shevchenko presented a video for the track "Biy z tinnyu". The idea of the video belongs to the director Anna Buryachkova. One of the stories in the video is about the overconsumption of everything, about polluting the planet with their activities.
“Today I want to talk about the battles that each of us fights on a daily basis. Fight within yourself. Local skirmishes and global wars. With yourself, with others within yourself, with the whole world, with rules, traditions, restrictions, social norms,” Shevchenko said about the new work.
Veteran of the war in the Donbas Anastasia Shevchenko did not slow down. Soon she presented a new work, which eventually became her calling card. We are talking about the track "Koliskova for the enemy". The work received a lot of positive feedback. The penetrating lines of the song "eat" into the head. The track began to be disassembled into quotes.
“You want the land, So, now you’ll get away from it, You yourself will become my land. Sleep."
Simultaneously with the release of the presented musical composition, a flash mob #myzamir began on the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, Ukrainians on Facebook organized a flash mob response with the hashtag #spy.
