Biography of a young parodist Andrei Barinov

He was born on May 9, 1992. From early childhood he showed interest in music at the age of six, he asked his parents to give him a piano. At first, the adults did not take the request seriously, but the boy’s perseverance and perseverance were crowned with success – the parents bought a musical instrument and sent their son to study at a music school in the piano class.

The teachers appreciated the young musician’s ability to copy the voices of Russian singers and Andrei began to study vocals.

In high school, Andrei began to study in the drama circle of the regional Palace of Culture, developing his acting talent. Here, for the first time at the age of fourteen, he acted as a parodist. The audience was delighted and rewarded the young artist with loud applause.

Andrei connected his future with art, but practical parents insisted on entering the Ural Polytechnic College. Applied mathematics and programming could not pacify the creative nature, in his spare time, he continued to scrupulously study the work of pop performers and imitated their manner of performance.

After a successful performance with his first parody program, the young artist was invited to corporate parties and holidays throughout Pervouralsk.

But Andrei was not going to stop at the success he had achieved, he dreamed of performing on the big stage. In 2010, luck smiled at him – Andrei passed the casting and became the youngest participant in the popular Big Difference festival. Thanks to his talent and hard work, he won the competition, received the Grand Prix of the festival, and was accepted into the Big Difference troupe (by the way, the BR Wikipedia page mentions Andrey’s name as the winner of the Odessa festival in 2010).

Fans are interested not only in a creative career, but also in the personal life of their idols. The young parodist does not like to talk about his private life. Previously, in his social networks, you could see a lot of photos with your girlfriend. Andrei met Yana Fedotova at the dawn of his career, they had a long-term relationship, but whether they continue at the moment (as of autumn 2020) is not known for certain.

Andrey Barinov now

Andrey Barinov’s popularity continues to grow. His performances are full of bright colors and emotions, they are distinguished by a variety of styles and detailed elaboration of images. He parodies both Russian and foreign performers, his repertoire includes Nadezhda Kadysheva, Nikolai Baskov, Elton John, Tina Turner, Ilya Lagutenko, Sofia Rotaru and many others. In 2019, Andrey took part in the One to One show, where he had great success. Talent and hard work help him not to lose the interest of fans and gain new ones.

Andrey also decided to try himself in a new direction. Earlier, he admitted that he dreamed of becoming a singer, but he realized that it was more difficult to break through in this direction than in a parody. Perhaps now he wants to realize his dream, since his recognition has increased by an order of magnitude. In the summer of 2020, he released the song “Not My Fault”. Some users noted that the manner and timbre of the performance are similar to Barsky and Agutin, but the originality of the composition leaves no doubt.
