Anna Dzyuba was born on June 24, 1990 in Cherkassy, Ukraine. The girl’s parents sang in a group when they were young, but did not achieve much success in the artistic field. In the future they will tell Anya that you can’t make money from songs. For some time, the girl will even believe in her father’s words, but she will not stop singing.
In the meantime, this is an ordinary child from a low-income family. According to the singer, she was very active as a child. Anya often took part in school productions and was involved in several creative clubs. However, her native school remembered her not because of her unique vocal abilities or artistry, but because of her excessive talkativeness.

Asti recalls how her classmates often asked her to ask the teacher as many questions as possible during class in order to stretch out the time. As for the teachers, they seemed to enjoy such curiosity. The mother of the future star often heard from teachers that the girl was good, but she talked a lot.
In the future, having become a famous singer, the girl will remain a simple girl who is open to communication and new friends. Among the latter, by the way, there were always more boys than girls.
Youth
As a teenager, Anna Dzyuba was not the example of femininity that her fans had long been accustomed to. According to the star, during adolescence she was a tomboy. Communication with guys was easier for the girl than with the fair sex. Guys, according to the artist, are much less likely to envy girls and can really give practical advice on appearance.
As for the romantic side of the life of the then Anya Dzyuba, then, according to the star, at that time she was not popular with the opposite sex. The girl even believes that she was that ugly friend of the local beauty. However, later the young people saw in her a good friend and things on Anya’s personal front improved noticeably.
At the same time, the future star admits that she grew up in difficult times. The crisis that came in the 90s also affected the life of a girl from a small Ukrainian town. According to Asti, many of those around her drank alcohol and drugs during that period. The girl will have many acquaintances with addictions; at some point, Anna joins her friends in this hobby, but very quickly abandons it.

Since then, the most important thing in the girl’s diet is wine. However, there will still be a moment in the artist’s life when she reaches for a glass in an attempt to drown out the pain.
In the meantime, she is graduating from university and becoming an assistant lawyer. According to the singer’s recollections, professional literature was difficult for her. At work, she often wrote song lyrics, for which she was sometimes reprimanded. According to the star, she left her position as an assistant lawyer with a scandal, after which she tried herself as a makeup artist.
Asti recalls that at that time she thought that it was possible to break into show business with the help of connections or through bed. According to the artist, she had no influential acquaintances at that time, and sleeping with someone in the name of fame was unacceptable for her. However, Anna continues to sing and even participates in the filming of a music video.
It is noteworthy that at that time the girl had to pay herself for the right to sing, which today the artist recalls with a smile. However, then participation in the project, about which little is known today, was her only professional achievement. Asti managed to give up and come to terms with life in obscurity.
According to Asti’s recollections, at that time she was a completely ordinary girl from a small Ukrainian town. She did not have a chic wardrobe, nor a sea of admirers, and she was also not experienced in traveling to distant countries. At that time, the future star flew by plane only two times: to Turkey and back. However, very soon everything changed.
Childhood and youth
By a curious coincidence, both famous Dzyubas came into this world in the summer: the football player was born on August 22, 1988, and Anna on June 24, 1990. The performer’s hometown is the Ukrainian Cherkassy, which gave the world the leader of the group “Boombox” Andrey Khlyvnyuk, the finalist of the local “Star Factory” and blogger Daria Kolomiets, the singer Alena Omargalieva, who became famous for her collaboration with Tamerlan.

Anna Dzyuba and Artem Dzyuba are namesakes.
Periodically, on personal pages on social networks, celebrities publish information regarding their early and family biography. Thanks to her, it became known that since childhood the girl adored a piece of jewelry called a cameo, and together with her older sister was a fan of everything Indian (films, jewelry and outfits) and passionately dreamed of conquering the stage. Therefore, not a single extracurricular activity at school took place without Anya and not a single performance took place in the drama club.
As for the parents, there are almost no details about them. Mom Tamara, following her grandmother, taught the children the difficult art of sewing, and their father owned a chain of cafes. By the way, it was at the insistence of the head of the family that the obedient youngest daughter received a higher legal education, while working part-time as a legal assistant and makeup artist, saying goodbye to her dream of entering a circus school.
A professional music career started unexpectedly. At a young age, the girl fell madly in love, and a strong feeling pushed her to write her own songs, which she diligently posted on the Internet, not expecting to be noticed. But producer Artem Umrikhin did not pass by, because just back in 2010 he was looking for a vocalist for the project.
Artik&Asti
Artem Umrikhin was looking for a vocalist for his new project. One day he came across a clip in which he heard Anna’s voice out of the corner of his ear. The musician liked the stranger’s vocals and wanted to contact her, but her contacts were not in the description of the video. The producer will spend the next six months searching for an unknown singer.
Miraculously, a member of the Mushrooms group will find her and immediately contact her, but Anya Dzyuba, who answered the call, will decide that this is a prank and will not wait for the promised call from Arti. When Artem finally called her, she broke out in a sweat. She instantly recognized his voice, but later, just in case, she would check the number that came up with the one her friend had.
Artem Umrikhin invited the girl to come to him in Kyiv for an audition. The girl agreed, but inside she was torn by doubts. Anya was afraid that her new acquaintance would turn out to be a sick person and even mentally made a plan to escape, but Artem simply invited her to sing.

Wanting to impress the famous producer, Dzyuba gave her 100%, but Umrikhin stopped her and asked her to sing more simply, which she did. This is how the group Artik&Asti arose, which brought worldwide success to the two artists.
The first wave of fame will cover the guys after the release of the song “Clouds”. Afterwards, the team will release more than one super hit, and their second studio album “Here and Now” will receive platinum status several times. However, very soon Asti will learn the other side of the coin.
The girl is distinguished by her curvy figure, which immediately attracts the attention of the press and envious people. Online, the young artist is called overweight. The criticism reaches Asti's ears and she takes it upon herself. Very soon the girl transforms and wipes the nose of the spiteful critics.
Asti in 2022
Asti today is one of the brightest performers in Russian show business. However, even taking into account the busy touring schedule and being busy at the studio, the girl manages to find the strength for entrepreneurial activity.
The artist’s projects include her own beauty salon, as well as a clothing collection. According to the artist, she herself does not understand how she manages to keep up with everything, because sometimes, due to the frantic rhythms, she cannot even eat normally.
However, the main topic of 2022 for Asti fans was not her business projects or even her latest tracks. The hottest news during this period was the change in Asti's personal life.
Business
The capital's entrepreneur registered Studio San Denis LLC in 2011. By the way, two founders of the organization were Stanislav Igorevich and his ex-wife Yana Viktorovna Simakova, the shares were divided equally. The main activity of the company was to provide professional education services in the field of beauty.

In 2016, the businessman registered as an individual entrepreneur. Yurkin engaged in the wholesale sale of branded clothing, as well as accessories.
After 2 years, changes occurred in the Muscovite’s career. He got into the restaurant business and opened the Kultura Bar. The signature bar has become popular thanks to its unique collection of cocktails, which, according to information from the official website, are created individually for each guest.
Personal life
Being a famous singer, Asti is in no hurry to show off her personal life. The press knows little about the star’s loves, and she herself rarely opens up in interviews.
It is known that, as a teenager, Anya Dzyuba did not always enjoy success with the opposite sex. However, at some point the attention of young people was attracted by the girl’s simplicity and openness. However, not everyone knows how to appreciate spiritual qualities that are so unusual by today’s standards.
Asti recalls how she found herself in a relationship with not the most honest young man. Once he even cheated on his girlfriend, she forgave him, but she no longer had the same trust in him. At some point, the couple quarreled again, and when Asti called a close friend for support, it turned out that he could not come because he was spending time with her friend. The response from a close friend hurt the singer to such an extent that she considered committing suicide.
The girl was stopped by thoughts of her parents. This episode greatly influenced Asti as a person, because now she prefers to solve problems without resorting to alcohol.
As for the artist’s current personal life, in 2022 Asti announced her upcoming wedding on her Instagram page. The singer's chosen one was a Moscow entrepreneur. He is 11 years older than the singer and has a daughter from his first marriage. For Asti, this will be the first officially formalized relationship.

Anna Dzyuba now
Throughout 2022, fans of the group sang the hit “Girl, Dance” from the mini-album “7 (Part 2)” and rejoiced at the new singles from the next EP “Millennium X”. A big surprise and disappointment for fans was the announcement of Anna’s departure from the ensemble. Information about this appeared on the official Artik & Asti page on Instagram.

Artem Umrikhin expressed confidence that his colleague will definitely find his way in solo work, and also said that the group will continue to exist with a new lineup. The singer herself commented on the collapse of the project as follows:
“The bird jumped out of the nest because it had grown. Every artist probably understands at some point that singing in a duet is not an eternal story. Everyone has their own ambitions, so it’s time for us to dot the i’s and go our separate ways.”
At the end of the year, Anna became a guest of the “Evening Urgant” program, where she performed under the pseudonym Anna Asti. In January 2022, the singer signed a contract with Universal Music Group and began working on new material, because she no longer had the rights to perform old hits.
On January 14, the singer presented a video for the song “Phoenix,” which fans rated positively. However, director Yulia Ivanova stated that the video has great similarities with her work for the group BP Broth.
Plastic surgery
Even being a real star, Asti never ceases to be honest with her fans. In 2018, the artist published a post on her Instagram page, where she admitted that she had undergone plastic surgery. According to the singer, she underwent liposuction of her abdomen and used the same fat deposits to enlarge her buttocks. Most of the star's subscribers highly appreciated the idol's sincerity, but there were also those who criticized Asti's further publications.

According to haters, the girl resorted not only to removing fat from her abdomen and enlarging her buttocks. Evil tongues in the comments stated that she allegedly turned to “beauty doctors” for help more than once or twice.
