The 30-year-old performer and producer of the group Artik & Asti - Artyom Umrikhin and his chosen one Ramina - pronounced their wedding vows to each other far from the noisy, chilly capital on the shores of the Baltic Sea in Riga. A magnificent celebration took place in one of the Latvian clubs in the close company of close friends of the newlyweds. Among the guests one could notice the St. Petersburg boy band Marcel, who performed their most famous hits for their lovers, and the lead singer of the group Artik & Asti. Unlike usual concerts, that evening the girl performed on stage alone, while her bandmate had fun with his new wife in the auditorium. Artik carefully hides his personal life from prying eyes, not advertising his relationship with a girl of gypsy origin in in social networks. The artist’s microblog is replete with joint photographs with his bandmate, and at social events Artik and Asti always appear together. The band colleagues were more than once accused of having an affair in the press. And the fans have already notice the striking similarities between Ramina and Asti.

The project Artik feat Asti naturally began with the solo career of the performer Artik, who successfully worked on the Russian stage in the hip-hop genre. Winner of a number of prestigious domestic musical awards, Artik managed to realize himself as a composer. It is natural that sooner or later Artik had to think about creating his own project. This time came in 2011. The singer Asti became its soloist, and Artik combined the functions of a composer, producer and vocalist.

Artik, I know that you used to do solo work. What prompted you to find a “creative partner”?

Artik: Not certainly in that way. At first I had a hip-hop group, then it ceased to exist, and there was a period of solo creativity - then I recorded a solo album. But all this time I was in search of a creative partner. And in general, I love women's voices.

Asti: That's how I came into being.

How did you meet?

Asti: I knew who Artik was. He and the group “Karata” once came to perform in our city. They were unreal stars for me! And then one day he just called me - “Hello, this is Artik!” - and offered to work together. Of course, I agreed, we recorded the song “Anti-stress”.

Anya, what is your musical background?

Asti: Well... I performed at school (laughs). Serious music career I started with Artik.

Artik: Everything related to creativity is a joy for me. But as far as management is concerned, yes, it’s a bit hard to carry everything, so I’m slowly forming my own team and entrusting administrative concerns to them.

You, as a composer and producer, have already worked with many musicians?

Artik: Yes, I worked on a joint song between Olga Buzova and T-Killah, and collaborated very closely with Dzhigan. In general, I had the opportunity to work with a lot of people - Quest Pistols, Anna Sedokova, DJ Smash, Leonid Rudenko, Ivan Dorn, Zhenya Milkovsky (group “Nerves”), Alena Omargalieva and others.

Asti, do you take part in the creation of songs?

Asti: Yes, if Artik asks. Most often, the master handles his own affairs! But when I hear his song, I still sing it a little in my own way - the result is a kind of common work. I like his songs - they are very pure, real. And they are just a pleasure to sing.

When will your album be out?

Artik: We plan to release it in September.

Have you already recorded all the material?

Artik: We have a lot of material. Therefore, we still need to decide what will be included in the album and what will not. But fans are already asking for an album, so let’s not delay it.

Not long ago your new video premiered on Geometry. Tell us about his filming, and about this work in general.

Asti: This is the long-awaited video for my favorite song “Hold Me Tight”. The video tells the story of two parallel worlds in which the characters live. The video has very beautiful views, and in general, in my opinion, interesting filming.

Artik: We were filmed in different days. My filming took place during a cold time; spring had not quite arrived yet - but the idea was to show the warmth in the video. I'm a little cold!

Asti: I was luckier. During my filming, the sun was already warm. We started early in the morning, at five, and until five in the evening - very quickly - we filmed everything. This is our fourth video with Artik.

You've been working together for a year and a half now. How do you get along as a creative couple?

Asti: No problem. We know when to speak and when to remain silent. I have crazy energy, and Artik is calm and measured - we complement each other.

Artik, when you write music, do you focus on global trends?

Artik: Yes, I think about this while working: what is relevant now, what people are interested in, how they react to the music that is out there. Although I don't listen to too much music outside of work.

Asti: And I listen to a lot of music. I grew up with music, learned to sing, imitating Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. I literally listened to their tapes. Well, as usual, deodorant in hand and in front of the mirror... And my parents helped me with music education: Dad is a drummer, mom taught me to play the guitar. Now I love Alicia Keys - I just adore her, Jessie J - she's just amazing! Rihanna, of course - there is probably not a single person who does not have at least one of her songs on their playlist.

Don’t you write songs yourself?

Asti: In fact, I wrote one for Nastya Krainova. Both the words and the music are mine. Although without Artik, of course, my debut would not have taken place.

Are you going on tour?

Asti: Yes! Our schedule is booked two months in advance. Recently we were in Germany, went on tour to Israel, to Haifa - it was very cool! We walked around Jerusalem and felt the energy of this place - it is definitely magical. And we will go to Germany again soon. We can't sit at home anymore.

Good luck in your creativity! Enjoy the summer, fall in love, listen to music, thank you.

The group “Artik & Asti” was founded in 2010 by Artyom, who is both a performer and producer of the group. Having decided to create a musical project, the young man began looking for a vocalist. I found Anna Dzyuba on the Internet, where I heard her recordings of songs, and invited her to collaborate.

Artik before fame

Umrikhin Artyom Igorevich (pseudonym – Artik) was born in Zaporozhye. As a child, he was an ordinary boy who loved to play football with his friends in the yard and listen to music on a cassette recorder. I loved listening to the songs of the group “Malchishnik”, thanks to which I became interested in hip-hop music from the age of 11.

Gradually, the young man began to write his own musical compositions (songs). In 1997, Artyom recorded his first musical works, performed with them in clubs. In 2003, he became the founder of the successful hip-hop project “Carats”.

It was then that Artyom got the pseudonym Artik, and he and the group moved to live in Kyiv. In 2004, the group’s first collection, “Platinum Music,” was released, which became very popular among a wide range of listeners.

Artyom collaborates and writes music for such performers as:, Yulia Savicheva, DJ Smash, Dima Bilan. He is the founder of the music company: Self made music.

Asti before she became famous

Anna Dzyuba (pseudonym - Asti) was born in Cherkasy into a musical family. The girl has an older sister. WITH early childhood Anna began to get involved in music and dream of the stage and career as a singer. She loved to sing and dance. The girl grew up as an active and artistic child, but obedient. Her favorite singers as a child were Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, the cassettes of which she listened to endlessly. Participated in all school events. She recorded her first songs in adolescence.

After graduating from school, the girl, believing that you can break into show business only thanks to money, goes to work as a makeup artist, and later as a legal assistant in a law firm. At the same time, Anna recorded her songs and posted them on the Internet.

Professional activity

The group recorded their first song at a Kyiv music studio and it was called “Antistress”. But the composition turned out to be unnoticeable. But thanks to the second song “My Last Hope” the group becomes famous not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia. Their video for this song on YouTube received several million views in a short period.

The group has released three albums over the eight years of its existence: album 1, “Paradise for Two,” was released on October 1, 2013; album 2, “Here and Now,” was released on February 10, 2015, which included 12 songs. The album became one of the most popular in Russia and took ninth place as the best-selling album in Russia. Album 3 – “Number 1” (April 21, 2017).

During the existence of the group, about 20 videos were recorded for songs from different albums. One of the brightest clips is the video for the song “You Can Do Anything” (February 16, 2016). The main performers in the video were dancer Aykhan Shinzhin and actress. The videography was directed by Rina Kasyura.

Interesting notes:

During its existence, the group has toured a lot not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in European countries. From 2014 to 2018, the group “Artik & Asti” was nominated for various awards, among which there were many victories in various categories:

Artyom and Anna have a relationship like brother and sister. They almost never quarrel and always support each other in everything.

Artyom is the only person for Anna whom she always listens to first. The group has a constantly busy touring schedule, their popularity and demand is growing every day.

They take part in all major concerts and successfully tour around the world. Their compositions most often occupy leading positions in all music charts.

Personal life and interesting facts

Artyom met his wife Ramina on the Internet through friends. She lived in Riga at that time, the girl has gypsy roots. Before the wedding, they communicated for two years. Before her marriage, Ramina worked as a makeup artist, stylist and hairdresser on film sets.

In 2016, in the city of Vienna, in a romantic setting, the artist proposed to his girlfriend. In the fall of 2016 they got married. On 10/09/2017 in Miami, in an elite clinic, a son was born into the family, who was named Ethan. The best vacation for an artist is traveling to other countries. For his wife, Artyom wrote a frank song “Give me your word.” Today, Artyom manages to combine family life with the active creative activities of the group.

Anna (Asti) is in a relationship with a young man. But he prefers to hide his personal relationships. Believes that happiness loves silence. Today, the girl does not plan to start a family, she is completely absorbed in her career.

In addition to participating in the group, Anna is developing and organizing her own beauty salon in Moscow. The girl is also in demand as a model in various fashion magazines. Her height is 175 cm, weight – 55 kg. Anna gets in shape with the help of stretching, tsoga and meditation.

A musical group consisting of a girl and a young man is a successful combination in terms of promotion in the music industry. He has extensive experience working with various artists, she is young and talented - sound familiar? A huge number of similar successful duets passed before the eyes of the audience. And such couples always arouse keen interest among fans: what did each of them do before, how did they meet, do they have a relationship, or are they just business partners?

This and much more interests fans of the famous Ukrainian group “Artik & Asti”. Both are young and talented, they look great next to each other, their songs are heard by many not only in Ukraine and Russia, but also abroad. Before uniting and starting a successful joint career, each of the artists went their own way. When and under what circumstances did this community arise, how did they attract the attention of the public and how are they delighting now with their creativity?

Asti

• Real name: Anna Dzyuba;
• Height and weight – presumably 175 cm and 55 kg;
• Born in Cherkassy (Ukraine) in 1990 on June 24;
• Family – not married, no children.

The girl Anya, the future star of Asti, was born and raised on the banks of the Dnieper. Anna's parents and sister still live in the city of Cherkassy, ​​and have already famous singer does not forget them, often visits them.

In the photo is Anna Dzyuba. Instagram astiselfmade.

Asti, according to her, was interested in music almost from infancy, in general she was very musical child, loved to sing and dance. Plastic, with a wonderful voice and bright appearance, as a teenager she looked at famous stars, sighed and thought: “But I can do this too, maybe better. But there are no connections, no opportunity to go to the capital... No, I probably won’t have a musical career.”

In order not to waste time after school, the girl immediately started working. She tried her hand as a makeup artist and worked in a law firm as a paralegal. But the music still beckoned, called to itself! In parallel with her work, Anna recorded songs and posted them on the Internet in demo versions. God be with them, with the money, she thought: what if a handsome prince (we read - a famous producer) accidentally hears my voice, looks at me and sees how talented I am?

The wait for a miracle lasted until 2010, when a young man called her late at night. He introduced himself: “My name is Yuri Barnash, I asked to contact you...” What happened next - a little later, first I want to know, who instructed the lead singer of the group “Mushrooms” to call the girl that evening?

Artik

• Real name: Artem Umrikhin;
• Place and year of birth – Zaporozhye (Ukraine), December 9, 1985;
• Marital status: wife Ramina, son Ethan.

The biography of the future famous producer, composer and singer began in Soviet times in the town of Zaporozhye in Ukraine. Artyom’s childhood passed like that of all his peers of those times: he went to school, played football, sometimes fought, and listened to music on a tape recorder in the evenings. A friend once gave him a cassette with songs from “Bachelor Party”. The group was really booming back then; Dolphin and Dan were simply idols for the boys of that time; they sang daring songs on topics that were then forbidden. Artem, after listening to “Bachelor Party,” really became “sick” with rap: he began to compose his own short compositions and record them on a tape recorder.

After finishing school, the young man and his friends created a group, calling it “Carats”, they immediately began performing in local clubs and gaining popularity. About a year later, the young people decided that they should try themselves in a big city, and they set off to conquer Kyiv. In 2004, their first collection “Platinum Music” instantly became popular not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia. Simultaneously with the nomination for the Ukrainian ShowBiz AWARD, the group received an invitation to collaborate from Dmitry Klimashenko, a popular singer and producer. The result of their work was the song “God Have Mercy,” which was very much to the taste of music lovers.

Artem, even when the Karaty group first appeared, took himself a sonorous and at the same time simple pseudonym - Artik. Work in the team continued successfully: in 2008, “Karats” received the nomination “Best Ukrainian rhythm and blues style group.” Artik also found time to work with other singers, which he did great: Yulia Savicheva and Dzhigan, the girls from “Hot Chocolate”, “Quest Pistols” - artists with whom he successfully collaborated.

In 2010, Artik decided to create his own musical project entirely. He began to “comb” the Internet in search of a girl who would be a “universal” candidate for working together: she required a bright appearance, a beautiful and original voice, and the ability to dance. The requirements were high, but Artem had serious ambitions - he wanted to “blow up” the world of pop music, no less. After listening to several demo versions of Anya Dziuba, he realized that this was what he needed. That’s when he asked Yura Barnash to call Anna and offer her cooperation.

Create a group

Of course, Anya knew before that “fateful” call who Artik was, and probably at the first moment of the conversation with the lead singer of “Mushrooms” it seemed to her that it was a dream - Artik himself was calling to Moscow for a joint project! Having overcome the fear of an unknown future and moving to the Russian capital, the girl got ready and set off towards her dream.

The project was called “Artik pres Asti”, and in January 2012 their first video, “Antistress”, appeared on the Internet. High-quality, incendiary music, an interesting style of performance - yes, the video was good, but for some reason it did not cause great delight among the audience, although it received a decent number of views.

Arnik decided not to retreat, he saw that his new partner was talented and also full of ambition, and in 2013 the album “#ParadiseOneForTwo” was released. It was decided to shorten the name of the project slightly to “Artik & Asti”. The main song from the album called “My Last Hope”, according to rotation data, received one and a half million views in a month - here it is, finally, real success!

Invitations to recordings and tours began, Anya-Asti was recognized on the streets and begged for an autograph, fame simply “fell” on the girl. Artik was not going to stop there, he, as an already experienced producer, knew: except for him, in musical world There are still people who produce high-quality products, they “breathe down your neck” and at any moment can overtake you in terms of success. The album “Here and Now” was released, which the public liked even more. The third collection, “Number 1,” finally cemented the duo’s popularity.

The group has received not only the attention of fans: Artik and Asti have in their “baggage” such prestigious awards as four Golden Gramophone awards and the nomination “Best Promotion” on the popular Russian musicbox channel.

One of the latest interesting creations of Artik and Asti is a collaboration with the singer Gluk’oZa and the release of their joint video clip “I Smell Only You.” After the video appeared, Glucose wrote to her fans on social media. networks that she is glad to collaborate with the talented duo and that “this is just the beginning, look forward to new works.”

Rumors around and the true state of affairs

Well, of course, when a young beautiful singer and a venerable producer start working together, they begin to have a close relationship - this is what music lovers usually think. But no, Artik and Asti are an exception to the rule!

Both of them never tire of repeating that their cooperation is based on teamwork, nothing personal. No, it’s nothing personal, but what? real friendship? In this regard, they are very close to each other, Asti says in any interview that Artem is not only a “boss” at work, he has become her older brother. Here are her other words: “He did so much for me, with his help I ended up at the top, I am grateful to him for this until the end of my life! For me, he is not just a producer and business partner - he is my main adviser in any matter, I listen to his opinion in everything.”

Anna's this moment There is no official husband; she has not yet thought about starting a family. Yes, she answers the questions of the curious, there is a guy, but she does not consider it necessary to show him to the general public.

In the photo, Artem Umrikhin with his family: his wife Ramina and son Ethan. Instagram artikselfmade.

But Artem successfully combines creative activity with personal life. Those who write Artik’s biography always mention that he is married and happily married. In 2016, during a tour in Riga, he proposed to a beauty named Ramina, and the girl agreed. A year later, his wife gave Artem a son, who was named Ethan.

Asti and Artik continue to successfully collaborate: the “Indivisible” video made a lot of noise on the Internet and immediately gained several million views. The duo is actively touring and planning new tours: for example, in March 2018 they are going to visit Omsk.

The group Artik & Asti, which includes Artem Umrikhin and Anna Dzyuba, loudly announced itself in 2011 with the release of the song “My Last Hope”. Over the past six years, the guys have become one of the most popular artists in Russia, and their songs are among the most played. Artem is not only a soloist, but also the founder of the group, he decides what and how to sing. But Anna became his “other half” on stage absolutely by accident - by pure luck. the site talked to the modern “Cinderella” and found out how she coped with the onslaught of fame, who is her authority and what will happen to the group when she goes on maternity leave.

Perhaps the name Anna Dziuba is unlikely to mean anything to many. Another thing is Asti! The name of the popular group Artik & Asti has been on everyone's lips for a long time. It is not surprising that Anna, who is the lead singer of the duet, has long called herself Asti.

In addition to working in a super successful team, the singer opened the “Beauty Bureau from Anna Asti”, where our meeting took place. Without an ounce of makeup on her face, with a mop of loose hair and in a voluminous hoodie, she looked like a teenager, but during the conversation she revealed herself as a strong-willed, confident, attractive girl in an adult way. By the way, during our interview, satisfied visitors to the Beauty Bureau more than once approached the singer with words of gratitude not only for the high-quality services of the salon, but also for the sincerity and openness of Anya herself, which was only confirmed by our conversation.

Our heroine came to the meeting not alone, but with a Sphynx kitten. “I'm a cat person. I took this cat as a gift for a friend, I have the same one at home. But I’ve already become so attached that I don’t think the kitten will reach my friends,” Anya shared with us, laughing.

Ani-Asti's journey into the world of show business began with the most ordinary phone call. In 2010, Artem Umrikhin (at that time he had been involved in music for many years) decided to create a group, and for this he needed a vocalist. The singer accidentally came across a recording of Anna Dzyuba’s song on the Internet, after which he found her phone number and offered cooperation. This is how it appeared Artik group& Asti…

website: Anya, today you popular singer, but your career as an artist began quite by accident. At what point did you realize the extent of your popularity?

Asti: I think I still haven’t realized it. I can’t even believe that I was so lucky. Maybe that's why I don't have star power. I remain a simple girl.

The way fans know me is 100% me. When I'm on stage, I open up completely because everything comes from the heart. 40 minutes pass - I got my buzz, exchanged energy and left.

website: You and Artem have been working in tandem for many years. Are you quarreling?

Asti: No, he and I are absolutely on the same wavelength. We have never had such quarrels that we would become hysterical, slam doors, leave... Sometimes there are screams, but this is all because I am a girl working in an exclusively male team.

“In our team, I created a family atmosphere so that we would always be together, support each other, and be friends. Therefore, if we quarrel, we quickly make up.”

In all seven years of our cooperation, I only gave up twice. There was a moment when, due to the hellish schedule, my nerves gave way. I started to be capricious and said some nonsense. The next day Artik talked to me as if nothing had happened. He understood that I just needed to talk it out. He is generally a balanced person; it seems to me that it is simply impossible to piss him off. That's why the last word always behind him. At the same time, what’s nice is that Artik doesn’t act like a boss.

It seems to me that he is the only person I listen to in my life. I don't listen to anyone anymore, not even my parents. We have been together for many years - Artik helped me adapt to a new life, because in Moscow I was completely alone, we went through many difficulties together. Over the years, Artik has become a dear and close person to me, a brother who taught me everything.

website: How did the dream of becoming an artist appear?

Asti: It seems to me that almost every girl dreams of this. I grew up in a musical family and from childhood I was an artistic, active child. My older sister and I almost every day invented some kind of games, organized concerts, fashion shows.

Asti: I don’t know... Just when you’re enough for a long time lived alone in a big city, managed to rise up, did something worthwhile, you no longer depend on anyone.

I have always been an obedient child, but character is character. I am firm, strong, stubborn, especially now. Character is still formed over the years and depends on what kind of people you communicate with, what problems arise and how you solve them.

“When Artik called me, I was honestly shocked. By that time, my hands had already given up, I didn’t want anything and mentally resigned myself to the fact that I would cook borscht and do housework. I was sure that one gets into show business with the help of money or connections, which I did not have. Or through bed, which didn’t suit me.”

Artik’s call was real luck, I never thought of missing this chance, so I had to change my life. And when I left, who helped me? Nobody, all by herself! For the first six months, I practically didn’t leave the house, except to go to the store. I had no friends or acquaintances here.

And, of course, when you grow up in such conditions (and in seven years I have grown a lot), then who will you listen to? That's right: only yourself. When people today try to tell me how to live, what to do, I say: “Where have you been for 27 years of my life? You weren't there, but I managed somehow. I can handle it now.” I only listen to successful people. Listening to losers is a bad idea.

website: I can assume that criticism on Instagram doesn’t bother you much either.

Asti: The first time I cried so much! How offended I was... At 21, I was a plump girl - I had just left my parents. And they photographed me all the time so that I turned out to have a square face, as if I had four chins. I was worried that I was fat, although at that time I weighed five kilograms less than now. And so I began to lose weight, then gain weight. The media wrote that I was “fat.” And I just have this facial structure, I can’t do anything about it, but you can’t prove it to people. And when you are not confident in yourself, such criticism completely unsettles you.

“Literally a couple of years ago I told myself: “You are who you are, and you can’t do anything about it. But you can work on yourself, or you can whine. That's all". Moreover, you first need to work on yourself from the inside. I changed externally only when I began to feel better internally. Many noted that I had become more feminine, charming, and mature.”

When you are confident in yourself, it is impossible to unsettle you, push you off your intended path, interfere with or offend. Artists must understand that on the one hand they will tell you that you are great, and on the other hand, that you are mediocrity. Everyone only likes a hundred dollar bill!

website: Aren’t you afraid that such confidence can develop into self-confidence?

Asti: I hope everyone sees that I am a simple, open person. At a certain point I had to make a choice what kind of person I should be, because it wasn’t easy. At first, I didn’t know what to do at all - I was taught how to behave on stage, how to dress. Anya Sedokova helped create my first looks and took me to her stylists. I was generally “green” - a girl from a small town. Then, gradually, they began to give me freedom, and today I myself choose how to dress, how to move on stage, and communicate with fans. And if I don’t want something, I won’t do it - fortunately, I’m not 16 years old anymore.

“I had to become self-confident somewhere, because that was the only way I could remain myself. Previously, I was afraid to move, the microphone in my hands was shaking, I thought that the audience was staring at me and looking for flaws. And today I have an inner core, thanks to which I stand firmly on my feet and don’t feel like a rag.”

The main thing is that, no matter what, I remain a man of heart. But with brains. I like to think, to pick myself.

website: Can you name three of your qualities that you are especially proud of?

Asti: I think, first of all, it is kindness, openness and determination. At the same time, I’m probably even too open - I immediately trust everyone, love everyone. But crowds scare me - I don’t like it when my personal space is invaded.

website: At 27 years old, you are already the owner of your own beauty salon...

Asti: Just the owner of a beauty salon. For me this is absolutely not the limit, it even seems to me that at my age I could have accomplished much more, so sometimes I reproach myself for missing so many years without thinking about development. Today I have a lot of plans and aspirations. I never stop dreaming and believing. I think I will succeed.

website: Tell us about your dreams.

Asti: Naturally, I want to get my brainchild, a beauty salon, off the ground. I have invested a lot of effort and money here, but there are still many shortcomings that need to be addressed in the near future. Plus a career - songs, videos, filming, a new album. In addition, on October 28 we will have a big concert in Moscow.

“And, of course, I dream of a family, children. I would like to do it as soon as possible, but for now it is impossible.”

website: Why?

Asti: For now, my career takes up all my time and energy. And I don’t want to get pregnant and then have my child grow up without a mother. I’m not ready to give up my career right now to plunge into motherhood. I want a family, but at the moment I’m experiencing an incredible rise in my career and I can’t just take it, leave everything and say: “I’m joining the family.” An artist cannot afford this - you have to release a new track every one and a half to two months. And if you missed at least six months - that’s it, you’re gone, you’ve been caught up and surpassed. Today in show business there are a huge number of artists and groups; new products come out almost every day, many of which become hits, so you can’t yawn.

“Artik and I have been on stage for seven years now, and only in Lately our group began to gain momentum. I would be a complete fool if I now let years of effort, labor and nerves go down the drain. There will be no group without me."

They used to tell me: “You are 27 years old, soon 30 - you urgently need to get married and have children.” And I was terribly tense about this, telling myself: “We have to hurry.” And then it dawned on me that there is no point in marrying just anyone and then getting divorced, and your child growing up without a father. Or endure endless scandals. Today I know for sure: if something is not in your life, it means the time has not come yet.

website: You are now in a relationship, but you prefer not to talk about it. Why?

Asti: Yes, I'm in a relationship and absolutely happy. I don’t shout about it because I finally realized that happiness loves silence, that you need to listen to someone less and trust your heart more. Don't rush time - yours will come to you.

“I’m so happy that I don’t want to share it with anyone. This is so personal, intimate... People always try to get in, give advice, express their opinion, but I don’t need it.”

I used to, like many Instagram girls, post on social networks both photos with bouquets and posts about how happy I am. But today I know that when you really feel good, you want to keep it in your cozy little world, and not run around and talk about it left and right. At some point, emotions overwhelmed me, and I really wanted to talk about my happiness, but then I was let go (smiles).

website: Probably because of your work you see each other very rarely.

Asti: Of course, this bothers us, I miss you very much, I always want to be held in my arms, to be hugged, to be pitied, I feel drawn to go home. But we are never bored. Relationships do not like routine, everyday life - very often this is why many couples break up. You start getting angry at each other over little things, pissing each other off with little things, and everything falls apart.

We miss each other so much that we enjoy every minute together. It is very difficult when you are together all the time, you have common interests, you talk about the same thing - you simply have nothing to surprise each other with. But if you live in different worlds, you have different careers, you are interested in different things, spend a lot of time apart from each other, then you will always be interested in being around your soulmate. Of course, I’m sad without him, but what a joy it is to return home after two days and, having missed him, hug, kiss, and share the news.

website: Returning to dreams of a family: are you planning to go on maternity leave after the birth of your child or will you rather return to work?

Asti: I will be an active mother. My sister has two children, I was even present at the birth, her babies grew up before my eyes, and I know everything about raising children. I also know about postpartum depression. So for it not to exist, you need to be distracted by something.

“Sometimes there comes a time for everyone when you want to lie for days without getting out of bed, stare at one point and suffer. The surest way to avoid this is to do something, and then you simply won’t have time for depression.”

website: Formulate your motto for life.

Asti: The phrase is spinning in my head: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” I think it describes me exactly. I'm emotional, I need everything at once. I can't be stopped. I want to breathe deeply, I want to do as much as possible, this life is not enough for me. I’m 27 years old, but it always seems to me that I didn’t have time to do so much, didn’t see, missed, didn’t recognize. I would be infinitely happy if there were more than 24 hours in a day, but that’s what life is for, that’s what time is for, so that we learn to appreciate every moment.
