Biography

Born on August 13, 1980 in the city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). His grandmother is Edita Stanislavovna Piekha (b. 1937), grandfather is Alexander Alexandrovich Bronevitsky (1931-1988), Soviet composer, choral conductor, founder and director of the first vocal and instrumental ensemble “Friendship” in the USSR, mother is Ilona Aleksandrovna Bronevitskaya (b. . 1961). Stas's father, Petras Gerulis, is a jazz singer and musician, theater director, his parents' marriage broke up in 1981, his father lives in Vilnius[10][11][12]. Stepfather Yuri Anatolyevich Bystrov is a musician, pianist, composer, worked as the musical director of the Buff Theater[13], Stas's half-sister is Erika Yuryevna Bystrova (born May 20, 1986) - an architect, interior designer.

Stas's grandmother, Edita Stanislavovna, lost her father in early childhood, and then she promised herself to name her son Stanislav, in honor of his father, but she had a daughter (Ilona Bronevitskaya) and this male name was not destined to sound in their family. And so, when Ilona’s son was born, the name Stas finally found its owner.

Stas spent his childhood traveling on tour with his grandmother, while his mother pursued a solo career. At the age of 7, at the insistence of Edita Piekha[1], Stas began studying piano and choral singing at the Glinka Choir School of the Leningrad Chapel and began to bear the surname Piekha. The fact is that the Piekha family was cut short due to the war, and Edita Stanislavovna decided that Stas should revive it. Stas received further musical education at the pop-jazz department at the Gnessin State Music School.

In 2007, the artist, together with the legendary Edita, became the faces of the Moscow Jewelry Factory. Moreover, it was not by chance that one of the oldest factories in Russia chose the famous family. Together with his grandmother Edita Piekha, he starred in an advertisement for a cough remedy, where they performed the famous “pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa” from the song “Our Neighbor”.

In 2008 and 2009, Stas Piekha was the co-host of the TNT program “Cosmopolitan. Video version." While filming a new video for the song “Green Whirlpool,” written by poet Mikhail Gutseriev and composer Sergei Revtov, the singer had to put on diving equipment and dive to a three-meter depth.

On Saturday, October 5, 2013, the premiere of Stas Piekha’s new song “I’m with you” (music by T. Leontyev, lyrics by D. Tolstov) took place on “Russian Radio”.

"Star Factory"

In 2004, Stas successfully passed the casting and became a participant in the First Channel television project “Star Factory - 4”. It was at the “Factory” that his first hit was recorded - the song “One Star”, written by composer Viktor Drobysh. At the very beginning of the project, when all the participants filled out questionnaires, Stas, when asked: “Who would you like to sing a duet with?”, wrote: “with Valeria.” And this dream of his came true - the song “Let Me Go” in a duet with Valeria was performed at one of the reporting concerts. At the Factory, Stas Piekha sang about 20 duets. Thanks to Viktor Drobysh, Stas’s dream came true - he sang the legendary rock ballad “July Morning” with rock legend Ken Hensley. As a result of the competition, Stas was one of the three winners of “Star Factory - 4” and received the production of a solo album, shooting a video and a scooter as a prize.

The project started on May 22, Stas, together with Diana Arbenina, Alexander Ponomarev and Ruslana Lyzhichko, each select 14 participants from among professional vocalists for their team. The “trick” of this project was the selection of participants itself - “blindly”, relying only on hearing, since the coaches sit in special chairs with their backs to the stage[14].

"Stars at the Opera"

Immediately after “The Voice of the Country,” he took part in a vocal television show filmed and shown by the “1+1” TV channel. Ukrainian adaptation of the British format “Popstar to Operastar”. Stas's partner was Tamara Smirnova.

The Filimonov family of mentor Stas Piekha took an honorable second place.

Show "Hit"

In September 2013, the first episode of the new musical project of the Russia-1 TV channel - the show "Hit" - was released. Stas Piekha and Ani Lorak were hunting for hits in the first issue. Stas chose and sang the song “Cities of Love”, and Lorak chose the song “Soul”. Through audience voting, Lorak advanced to the finals.

Interestingly, the music producer of the show, Viktor Drobysh, said that Lorak chose a “purely male song” that Piekha was supposed to sing. Nevertheless, Stas did not have a chance to choose this song, since Ani Lorak was the first to enter the booth with the author of the song “Soul”. In the final, the song “Soul” took third place. Later, both compositions were included in the project’s collection entitled “The Hit Show, Season 1.”

You are super!

Policy

In August 2020, on the recommendation of the Odessa regional administration, Stas Piekha was denied entry into Ukraine. As noted on the official website of the Odessa Regional State Administration, this was done “because of its support for the occupation of Crimea and rabid pro-Putin propaganda”

[16].

In 2020, he was a confidant of Moscow mayoral candidate Sergei Sobyanin[17].

Personal life

The grandson of Edita Piekha always kept his personal life secret from the press. Until 2008, the singer dated Victoria Smirnova for more than 4 years, but she left to study and live in London, and that’s where their relationship ended. They met thanks to the “Star Factory”; Victoria Smirnova is the cousin of rapper Timati. Piekha even filmed a girl in one of his videos for the song “About You.” He was married to model and DJ Natalia Gorchakova, he has a son, which he admitted in the program Let They Tell Andrei Malakhov on 10/24/2015 at the “Evening of Grandma Edita Piekha”, but he did not disclose the details - this was their common decision with his wife. At the moment, the spouses do not live together. Son Peter was born on March 22, 2014[19].

Fighting alcohol and drug addiction

In 2020, Stas admitted that his mother Ilona Bronevitskaya often went on tour and devoted little time to him and her family, as a result, at the age of 15, he acquired a serious alcohol addiction, from which he was able to recover only after two decades[20]. In 2020, he admitted that as a result of his mother’s focus on her career and the fight for the rights of stray dogs, he felt lonely and became addicted to heroin and gave up drugs only after he suffered three heart attacks [21].

Family of Stas Piekh

Stas Piekha’s family is quite unusual, creative, and friendly, since his grandmother, Edita Stanislavovna Piekha, did a lot for him, and named her grandson after her father. The fact is that my mother toured the USSR and the world almost all the time. And the father left the family back in 1981, giving his son only his last name. As soon as the boy turned seven, his father's surname was changed to his grandmother's.

Stas considers his mother’s second husband, Yuri Bystrov, who was not only a musician and pianist, but also a composer, to be his real father. His stepfather headed the music department of the Buff Theater for many years, and also gave Stas a sister, Erica.

By the way, his famous grandmother had a special influence on the guy, who advised where to go and how to become a star, she recorded a song with him for the “Star Factory”, although Bronevitskaya refused to record.

It is worth noting that they spoke about the Piekha dynasty behind their backs like this: “Grandmother is a singer and mother is a singer, and son is a singer.” The guy tried to make a career as a singer, poet and actor on his own, without hiding behind the name of his loved ones, which made victories sweeter.

"Star Factory"

They often jokingly said about the Piekha dynasty: “grandmother is a singer, mother is a singer, and son is a singer.”
But, despite his stellar origins, the young man built his career himself (although there was no escaping the invisible influence of the Piekha surname). It all started in 2004 - it was then that Stas passed the casting for the fourth season of “Star Factory” and got into the project along with Dominic Joker, Irina Dubtsova, Timati and Anton Zatsepin. The producer of the show was Igor Krutoy, with whom Piekha did not have a good relationship from the very beginning. Krutoy did not hide his antipathy towards the young singer, which he later admitted on Andrei Malakhov’s show. The hostile attitude of the “boss” did not prevent Stas from opening up: he coped with any number superbly, formed a harmonious duet with any artist and invariably delighted the audience at the Factory’s reporting concerts.

We can say that Viktor Drobysh sharpened the talent of the aspiring star - he wrote the song “One Star” for Piekha, which became the artist’s first hit.

The Star Factory 4 project ended in victory for Piekha. The young man took third place. Channel One’s gift was substantial: Piekha found a producer for his solo album, received a free video shoot and, as a nice bonus, acquired a motor scooter. In addition, Stas sang a duet with singer Valeria - the young man dreamed of this long before participating in the project, and performed the ballad “July Morning” together with rock legend Ken Hesley.

Children of Stas Piekh

The children of Stas Piekh are also a mystery, since no one ever knew that the musician was also a young daddy. He did not talk about the fact that his heir was growing up, so the army of fans was shocked by this event, but this shock was rather pleasant.

The fact that a son is growing up in the family became known thanks to the excessive talkativeness of Viktor Drobysh, and then Andrei Malakhov, who revealed the secret about the heir in October 2020 in the show “Evenings of Grandma Edita Piekha.”

Stanislav Piekha confirmed that he has a son, but refused a more detailed consideration of this fact, specifying only that his wife decided so, and he supported this decision.

Creative achievements

After the birth of her first child, Ilona Bronevitskaya, the mother of Stas Piekha, began to actively pursue her creative career, and transferred the care of her son to her mother. Further, Edita Stanislavovna became closely involved in educating her grandson and sent him first to the Glinka Choir School, and then, already a conscientious young man, Stas himself entered the Gnessin Music School

.

During his short career, the artist’s arsenal has accumulated several albums:

• "One star";
• "Otherwise";
• «10».

At the age of less than 38, the artist Piekha participated in many musical television projects

and even acted in films. His acting credits include roles in films such as:

• "My beautiful family";
• “The era of Piekha”;
• "My mother got married."

As a creative person, he constantly draws inspiration from love and romance, which means that the artist's heart constantly beats for someone.

Son of Stas Piekha - Peter Piekha

The son of Stas Piekha, Pyotr Piekha, was born in 2014 in marriage to model Natalya Gorchakova, but no one spoke about the fact that this event happened live. The boy recently appeared on camera with the permission of his famous father, so it became clear that little Petya is a copy of his dad in childhood.

After her baptism in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, mother and baby moved to Barcelona closer to the sea.

At three years old, his father decided to show Petya to the world, so he simply carried him on stage in his arms during a concert, and the baby burst into tears from fear. This incident proved that the boy clearly took after Piekha’s breed, because little Stas behaved in exactly the same way at the age of three at his grandmother’s concert.

In June 2020, a joint photo of Stas Piekha with his son graced the cover of OK! magazine, and in an interview the singer admitted that he always wanted to name the heir Peter, so other names were not even discussed. The fact is that Piekha’s father’s name was Petros - Peter, and the boy was born in a city associated with the name of Peter I.

Piekha is simply crazy about his son, he sometimes spoils him too often, trying to constantly be nearby so as not to miss anything. By the way, the first word Petenka said was the word “dad”.

Stas Piekh's ex-wife - Natalya Gorchakova

Stas Piekh's ex-wife, Natalya Gorchakova, is known as a model, actress, DJ, and blogger. The young people met at one of the parties in 2010, and they began to talk about a serious relationship between them already in 2013, when Natasha and Stas appeared together at the Vitebsk Slavic Bazaar.

Piekha and Gorchakova got married in 2014 in hot Barcelona, ​​and they most likely did it not out of great love, but so that their baby would have both a dad and a mom.

It is worth noting that the wedding was modest, and only close people gathered at the table, and marriage was considered illegal in Russia. That is why it came as no surprise to anyone that a year later Piekha simply left the family, although he continues to raise his son to this day.

He clarified that he did not want to torment Natasha, since he was not created for a family that interferes with creativity.
