Vladimir Lyovkin - a music lover is known as a former member of the popular band "Na-na". Today he positions himself as a solo singer, producer and director of exclusively state events.
Nothing was heard about the artist for a long time. After he became a member of the rating Russian show, a second "avalanche" of popularity hit Levkin. At present, the artist has opened another page of his creative biography. He meets the second flowering of his musical career.
Childhood and youth
The celebrity's date of birth is June 6, 1967. Vladimir was born in the heart of Russia. Almost immediately after the birth of the boy, the family moved to Germany. He met his childhood in the town of Potsdam.
Before going to high school, the parents enrolled their son in music. Soon he mastered playing the button accordion. Over time, the love of music only intensified. Parents tried to support Lyovkin in all endeavors.
Soon Vladimir, together with his family, moved to the territory of Russia. He honed his skills on the button accordion, and he wanted to curb another instrument - the guitar.
Lyovkin became interested in hard rock as a teenager. On the territory of the Russian Federation, this genre was familiar to advanced music lovers. A little time will pass and he will “put together” the team “Mercury Lake”. The musicians of the newly-made group rehearsed in the apartment, and household appliances served as their instruments.
After graduating from high school, he became a student at MPEI. However, Vladimir did not have time to get a higher education. He was taken into the army. In the military unit, which was located near Murmansk, he became the secretary of the Komsomol committee. The case did not prevent the development of a musical career. In the military unit, he created another project - the Horizon ensemble. In the newly minted team, he took the position of guitarist.
After demobilization, he returned to higher education. In addition, Levkin was in search of a new project. He wanted to be on stage. Having not decided on the choice, he became a student of the famous Gnesinka.
The creative path of the artist Vladimir Lyovkin
Studying did not prevent Vladimir from attending auditions. Once he came to the casting, which was conducted by the popular producer Bari Alibasov. At that time, the producer was looking for a new member for Na-Na. Lyovkin did not count on winning, but Alibasova was knocked down by the charisma and appearance of the guy. Vladimir was immediately enrolled in the pop group.
Lyovkin became the face of Na-Na. Girls went crazy over him, he was a role model for the stronger sex. The sunset of the 80s opened a completely different page in Vladimir's creative biography. He was at the height of his popularity.
"Na-Na" led by Vladimir gained popular love and recognition. The group received an unrealistic number of prestigious Ovation awards, and the band's tracks did not leave the prestigious music charts for months.
But, over time, it seemed to Lyovkin that this was not enough. He wanted to realize himself also as a director. In the mid-90s, he became a student of GITIS. For himself, he chose the directing department. Then he realized that the popularity of "Na-Na" was beginning to fall, so he decided to leave the "ship" even before the moment of its flooding.
He begins to record solo LPs and act in TV shows. At the same time, he released several collections of poems - "Parallels" and "I wish I could remain forever so young and immaculate ...". He also noted as a TV presenter of rating TV programs. Vladimir did not want to fall to the bottom, so he took on any popular projects.
At the beginning of the "zero" he joined the new team. Vyacheslav Kachin offered to create a musical project "Kedy" for the singer. In the group, Vladimir was responsible not only for vocals. He produced the team.
Members of the group "make" music in the style of punk rock. Soon the discography of "Ked" was replenished with LPs "Flomasters" and "Zapanki". Both collections received a good response from fans. The band's clips were broadcast on local TV channels. Levkin's popularity increased, and everything would be fine, but the artist's health failed him.
Health problems and creative career break
Vladimir suddenly disappeared from the stage. He did not comment on his departure. But soon Lyovkin answered the main question of journalists. The reason for leaving the stage was a disappointing diagnosis - cancer of the lymphatic system. In 2003, he underwent a major operation. A year and a half later, he appeared to his fans.
In 2009, the presentation of the artist's new solo album took place. Longplay was called "Stories from the first person." The disease changed Levkin's attitude to life. From that moment on, he takes an active part in charity events and donates funds for orphans.
In 2015, his discography was replenished with the album Life in 3-D. He also became a member of the rating show "Just Like It", which was broadcast on one of the Russian TV channels.
