Eduard Izmestyev

Andrei Bandera is called a folk singer. The first hits of the performer sounded on the waves of radio "Chanson", when no one knew him by sight. Neither advertising nor PR technologies with financial investments in promotion were useful to the singer: Andrei Bandera sang, and his work found a direct path to the hearts of listeners.

For a long time, fans drew information about the artist on his website. But after the rotation of the songs "Maple", "Ivushki" and "Rus" on the radio waves of "Chanson", Andrei Bandera came out of the shadows and appeared on stage and on television.

Eduard Anatolyevich Izmest'ev (real name of the singer) was born in April 1971 in the Perm region. The childhood and adolescence of the future star of the chanson passed in the mining town of Kizel.

Eduard's love for music and vocals manifested itself in his youth: all the guy's leisure time was spent playing percussion instruments and in a gypsy camp located not far from the Izmestyevs' dwelling. The young musician was friends with fellow gypsies. Despite the fact that Edward himself did not belong to this nationality, he enthusiastically listened to songs with a guitar around the fire.

After graduating from school, Eduard Izmestyev in 1985, at the insistence of his parents, entered the local mining technical school, but did not leave music and vocals. In his student years, the guy organized a musical group "Atlantis", which performed at city and student discos.

After receiving his diploma, Izmestyev, like his classmates, went to work at the mine, but music remained the main passion in life.

In "Atlantis" Eduard Izmestyev sang, composed poems for songs, wrote music and arrangements for them, acted as a producer of the group. The number of compositions written by the musician has reached hundreds; as part of the group, he recorded 11 albums. The songs from them were repeatedly included in the rotation of "Autoradio" and won at music festivals. But in 1999 the producer and soloist moved to Moscow, and Atlantis ceased to exist.

Andrei Bandera moved to the capital as an arranger, having received an invitation from the Soyuz-production company. Year Izmest'ev made arrangements of songs for Russian pop stars Alexander Marshal, Dima Bilan. Thanks to joint work with Vitas, Eduard Izmestyev met Nikita Bogoslovsky, Alexandra Pakhmutova, communication with whom inspired the singer to creative achievements. In 2000 he took up his career. This year the project "Andrey Bandera" appeared.

The debut song in the genre of chanson, called "By Stage", did not bring fame to the author. The release of a dozen more compositions by Andrei Bandera, written by the composer and arranger from 2000 to 2004, was not crowned with success. The musician from Perm felt the taste of fame after the release of the soulful song "Ivushka", which was included in the rotation of "Chanson".

The songs “Maple” and “Rus” appeared behind “Ivushka”. A flurry of calls from listeners rang out in the studio of the radio station: fans of the singer's creativity demanded to put the favorite's songs on a regular basis. Fans found information about the performer on his website, through which Andrei Bandera brought the idea of ​​folk production to life. Those interested left on the site wishes, lyrics or ready-made arrangements of compositions that they wanted to hear performed by Edward.

In collaboration with fans and listeners, Andrei Bandera created folk hits "Stranger", "Metelitsa", "Sheremetyevo" and "Lyubimaya", the video for which gained half a million views on YouTube.

The artist's creative biography developed rapidly: Andrei Bandera's debut on stage took place in the winter of 2006 at the Olimpiyskiy sports complex: the audience first saw the face of an idol at the Eh, Razgulyay! Festival.

Towards the end of 2006, in December, Andrei Bandera's team performed in the “chanson” club of the capital “Medyanik-Club”. And in the spring of next year, Perm gave concerts in northern Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk.

In 2007, fans of Andrei Bandera welcomed his debut album "Because I Love". The disc, although it came out in thousands of copies, did not satisfy the demand of the public, so the album was reissued more than once. The debut disc includes the songs "Doves" and "The Most Desirable", loved by music lovers.

In 2007 and 2008, Andrei Bandera's concerts were held in Russian cities and in Europe. The singer was warmly received in Spain, and in his homeland the performances were accompanied by sold out houses. The artist's hits appeared in the repertoire of thousands of restaurant musicians from the post-Soviet countries. In 2008, the artist presented karaoke fans with a DVD "Because I Love", having recorded backing tracks of songs from the album.

In April 2009, Andrei Bandera, together with chanson performer Rada Rai, recorded a joint program "Impossible not to love" and performed in the Kremlin, and in October 2011, Andrei's solo concert took place on the same stage, at which Rada Rai was present as a guest star. The full video of the grand performance, posted on the YouTube channel, was watched by 2.7 million people.

Andrey Bandera's compositions "Favorite", "Fields of Russia", "Stranger" and "Blizzard" are the fruit of the singer's Internet collaboration with authors and the crown of national production.

Andrey Bandera is a 6-time winner of the Chanson of the Year award. In 2009, the singer's duet with Rada Rai "You Fly, My Soul" received the main award of the "Song of the Year" festival. And in 2010, at the jubilee ceremony in honor of the 10th anniversary of radio "Chanson", the composition "Stranger" by Andrei Bandera was awarded the title of the best hit of the radio studio.

The chansonnier's second album, titled Impossible Not to Love, received no less popularity than the first, and sold thousands of copies.

Andrei Bandera recorded the third disc "The Touch" in 2011. The album includes the composition "Hooked", which was liked by the singer's fans. Especially popular are songs to the poems of Sergei Yesenin "You are my fallen maple", "I am tired of living in my native land" and "Rash, talian".

At the end of 2013, the Soyuz Production company, after the expiration of the contract with Andrei Bandera, did not renew the contract: the singer, due to the events in Ukraine, abandoned the stage name Andrei Bandera and has been performing under his own name ever since. The brand was transferred to the singer Yevgeny Konovalov in March 2014.

It is interesting that the producers repeated the initial stage of the name promotion, when the performer did not appear in public and did not give concerts, only gave the listeners the opportunity to get acquainted with new songs. But soon Yevgeny Konovalov began to appear on stage. Of course, the artist's ratings fell at first. But gradually "Andrey Bandera" regained the favor of chanson lovers.

Doing creative work under his own name was Andrey's old dream, but the terms of the contract did not allow him to do this. Initially there were concerns that the public would react negatively to the rebranding, but the very first tours showed the opposite.

At the same time, Izmestyev argued that he did not want to be associated in the minds of his fans with the Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera, therefore he deliberately distanced himself from a name that bears a negative connotation. But the main thing is that the child born to the artist in 2013, when he grows up, recognizes his father under his real name.

In 2016, the chansonnier performs under the name Eduard Izmestyev and donates his work to fans. In his repertoire, the ballad "Happiness is Lost" appeared. In the same year, a video clip for the popular song of 2014 "Nochka" was shot. Under a new stage name, Eduard became a guest of the Star Solitaire program, broadcast on Shanson TV, and the Dialogue program, which goes on local television in the city of Kamensk-Uralsky.

In 2017, the artist presented to the fans the fifth album of her discography, which was named "To want to live ...". This is the second solo disc of the musician released under his own name. The first was the "Enchanted Heart" disc, which appeared in 2014.

About personal Eduard Izmestyev prefers to remain silent, masterly avoiding the questions of journalists and fans about life outside the stage, about family and children. Relatives asked the chansonnier to protect their names from the public and protect them from the paparazzi and unnecessary hype, so photos of relatives do not get on the pages of social networks and tabloids with rare exceptions.

It is known that the singer's wife was a woman named Laura, who has been walking with him through life since no one knew Edward.

The other half prophesied to her husband a speech in the Kremlin, when he never dreamed of such a thing. In a marriage with his beloved woman, Izmest'ev had a daughter, Diana. The artist is in complete harmony with himself, he has everything necessary for this - a favorite business and a family.

Eduard has a brother, Victor, with whom he planned to perform in a duet at the dawn of his creative career. But Victor chose the role of backing vocalist in the collective of his older brother.

In June 2017, the popular performer attended the Slavianski Bazaar music festival in Vitebsk, where he brought the song You Are Like Rain. The artist can be heard on radio "Chanson", where he became a frequent guest of the "Star Breakfast" program.

In 2017, the performer plans to tour in Russia and abroad and perform at the Slavyanskiy Bazar music festival in Vitebsk, Belarus, after which he will go to concerts in large cities of the post-Soviet countries. During 2017, the artist performed a number of performances in Russian cities.

The chanson star lives in the capital. Izmest'ev's tour schedule is intense: 15-18 concerts every month. Edward loves to work not only on solo projects. Using musical material sent to him by amateur musicians, the artist records duets with songwriters unknown to the general public. The singer believes that any collaboration gives a new experience that can be used in his work.

Now Eduard Izmestyev continues to collaborate with the singer Rada Rai, with whom he has been successfully touring and recording new songs for 10 years. In 2018, the stars of the chanson prepared for the fans a new duet "Carelessly" based on lyrics by Andrey Chernikov and music by Eduard Izmestyev. Artists are not afraid of experiments, so they finalized the arrangement of the final recording of the song during joint concerts, finding new colors of sound at each of them. In this musical composition, the performers left the beloved gypsy manner of singing.

Eduard draws inspiration for creating his own compositions from ethnic and electronic music, the singer meets the latest in pop music and the chanson genre at the studio, where he allocates the start of the working day for such listening.
