Gleb Samoylov

Gleb Rudolfovich Samoilov is a Russian musician, member of the Agatha Christie group. The author of songs and music in the style of rock. Now he performs in the group The Matrixx. Voiced cinematic characters twice.

The popular rock musician was born in the Soviet Union on August 4, 1970. He was born in the city of Asbest (Sverdlovsk region). In the family, Gleb became the second child (he has a brother, Vadim Samoilov).

Samoilov's parents moved to Asbestos in 1965. Mom Gleb worked as a surgeon, and dad as an engineer. Even as a child, Gleb and his brother often talked about how they wanted to create their own group and become musicians, but their parents were not happy with this desire. The brothers' mother believed that this was not the best profession.

Gleb dreamed of learning to play musical instruments. In the early period of his life, he went to a music school, where he studied piano. But he attended only a few classes and after that he stopped going to them. The guy decided to quit his studies because of the heavy loads.

However, even this did not discourage him from the desire to master the skill of playing musical instruments. At that moment, his older brother decided to help him, who was able to teach Gleb notes. In a short time, Samoilov managed to master the first basics of playing the piano.

The first composition that Gleb learned to play on his own was the music from the popular film "Tehran-43". Already in the sixth grade, Samoilov decides to master another instrument - the guitar.

He learns independently with the help of self-study books, as well as his perseverance and desire. Several times he performed at school concerts as a bass player.

Gleb's brother Vadim played an important role in the formation of musical preferences. He often let his younger brother listen to Western rock on vinyl records, and Samoilov liked it.

After graduating from high school, the future musician decides to enter the local institute at the Faculty of History. But he lacked the required number of points. Having failed the exams, Gleb gets a job at a school, where he studies as a laboratory assistant.

In 1988, Gleb tried to enter a music school in the bass guitar class, and he succeeded. But he studied there for only one semester. He made the decision to quit school due to the fact that he simply did not have enough time for it, since at that time he was already performing with his group.

In 1987, having failed to enter the university, Gleb tried to get a job in the ensemble "RTF-UPI". His brother Vadim, Petr May and Alexander Kozlov are already playing in this group. They take him as a bass player. Samoilov's career begins with this group.

On February 20, 1988 the group played the first concert at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. This date is considered the official “birthday” of the Agatha Christie collective. At the end of the same year, the group released its first album, which is called "Second Front".

It took 12 months for Agatha Christie to release their second album, The Treachery of Love. At the same time, Samoilov is working on his solo album "Little Fritz". Since 1991, Gleb has been writing almost all the poems for the songs and music of the group.

The peculiarity of the rock group "Agatha Christie" was that Gleb played the bass while sitting. However, he was always in the corner of the stage. This behavior was due to the fact that he had stage fright. But the fans of the collective did not find out about this immediately.

Sitting Samoilov felt calmer and performed like this until 1995. At one concert, Gleb had an attack of claustrophobia. He stood up abruptly, threw back the chair and after that began to play only in a standing position.

1991 was a fruitful year for Samoilov's creative biography. He released his second solo album called "Svi100plyaska". In addition, in the same year the third disc by Agatha Christie was released, which was named Decadence.

After the release of the third disc, the group "Agatha Christie" begins to actively perform. Since then, the band has released seven more albums.

Despite the rapid development of his career, the musician also had problems. Many said that Samoilov was a drug addict, and, unfortunately, this turned out to be true. He had heroin addiction and alcoholism, which he defeated. Since 2000, he has stopped using drugs. The artist got rid of his craving for alcohol later. He had to undergo treatment at the Marshak clinic.

In 2009 the group decides to disband. The musicians called the reason for the collapse that they have different tastes, and each sees his place in music in different ways. The Samoilovs decide to give the last tour of the cities of Russia.

The last performance took place in July 2010. It was held as part of the "Invasion" festival.

Gleb decides not to waste time and creates a new band called The Matrixx. The musicians claim that their main direction in music is neo-postgothic. Many compositions are similar in character to the songs of the Agatha Christie group. The guys give their first concert on April 20, 2010 in the city of Izhevsk.

After that, the new rock group is actively working on the first album. It comes out the same year and is called "The Beautiful is Cruel." Exactly one year later, another disc is released - "Thresh". In 2015, the group's discography was replenished with the fifth album "Massacre in Asbestos".

In addition to touring with the group, sometimes Gleb goes on solo tours. He sings songs with a guitar, and also pleases fans with his own verses.

In 2005, Gleb was offered to voice a character in the animated musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. The musician was also engaged in dubbing in 2015. This time he was working on the documentary Black Fin.

Since 2005, Gleb, together with Sklyar (a member of the Va-Bank group), have become participants in the Farewell Dinner with Raquel Meller project. The idea of ​​the concert was that the musicians performed songs by Alexander Vertinsky, but in their own manner. In 2008, Samoilov tried himself as a model.

In 2015, the Agatha Christie group reunited and gave several nostalgic concerts. After the tour, a conflict broke out between the brothers. Since Vadim continued to perform alone with songs of the common musical brainchild, Gleb demanded compensation for the copyright, because most of the group's songs were written by him. The situation was also influenced by the fact that Gleb did not receive the royalties for the concerts, which had been agreed in advance. The younger brother filed two claims in court, after the consideration of which only the second was satisfied. Vadim managed to challenge the authorship.

The situation worsened after Vadim Samoilov's speech in Donbass. Gleb took the opposite political position and incorrectly expressed himself about the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine, thereby insulting his brother. In turn, Vadim promised Gleb a trial over the lyrics of The Matrixx, which, according to his older brother, can be interpreted as a call to extremism.

Tatyana Samoilova became the first girl who won the heart of a rock star. Gleb was younger than his beloved, but the age difference did not bother the musician. The girl was an artist and supported Gleb. He married her, and on November 27, 1996, the couple had a son, whom they named Gleb.

The young people loved each other, but soon decided to leave. The former spouses discussed everything and came to the conclusion that the boy would live with Tatiana. Under the influence of his first wife, Gleb was baptized in the Orthodox Church.

Anna Chistova became the second official wife of the musician. She worked as a model and designer. But this union was also not very long and soon they parted.

After the divorce, the musician often changed lovers. In addition to external data (Gleb's height is 169 cm), the girls were attracted by his special magnetism and charisma in the artist. Valeria Gai Germanika and Ekaterina Biryukova are the girls with whom Gleb had a close relationship. But he made no formal offer to any of them.

Soon, the musician met with journalist Tatyana Larionova. She turned out to be a fan of his work and came to interview the musician. No one believed that they could have a serious relationship, since Gleb has a difficult character.

However, the couple dated for several years. Now Tatiana is Samoilov's third wife, and, judging by their words, they love each other and think about children. The girl is 18 years younger than the musician, but this age difference does not bother them.

Tatiana constantly uploads joint pictures with her husband on Instagram. She helped the musician undergo a difficult operation when Gleb was ill (he was found to have a benign tumor). The illness forced to postpone several concerts in 2016. The stress on the musician's health affected his appearance, behavior and speech, which is why rumors spread that Gleb suffered a stroke or started drinking again. But the artist denied the conjectures of the reporters.

After suffering an illness, the artist is again full of energy and already in September 2017 presented the fans with the hit "Star" from the new album. The video for the single was released on the official video channel of The Matrixx on YouTube. In winter, the disc was released, called "Hello". According to the musician, the last songs do not have a pronounced style, but each listener determines the concept of the album for himself after listening. Gleb Samoilov's first performance with the musical material of the new disc took place in the capital's Teatr club on December 16.

Now the artist, together with the members of the Matrixx group, is performing a new program in large cities of Russia. At the end of September 2018, a performance is planned in Irkutsk, where a symphony orchestra will appear on the stage together with rock musicians.

Gleb Samoilov continues to make attempts to return the royalties to him for the used musical material. In the spring of 2018, Gleb sent a letter to the members of the Irish group "DARK" about the song "Loosen the noose", which was completely copied from his hit of the 90s. The Irish group paid the royalties due to the Russian and indicated on the cover of the disc the name of Gleb Samoilov.
