Childhood and adolescence
Anya was born on June 24, 1990 in the Ukrainian town of Cherkassy, picturesquely located on the banks of the Dnieper. The girl loves her small homeland– here the soul becomes comfortable. 
Growing up in creative family the girl was imbued with the magic of music from the cradle. Together with her older sister, she constantly invented various skits, which she willingly demonstrated to her parents and neighbors, and organized impromptu performances and fashion shows. At school, Anya did not miss a single musical event, participated in concerts with pleasure, and the cassettes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, which belonged to her sister, were heard to death.
She always liked the stage and the attention of the public, so already in her teens she seriously decided to become a singer. True, the girl did not know how she could achieve success in show business; it seemed to her that this would require money and connections, which she did not have then. Therefore, after graduating from school, she looked for herself in other professions, managing to work as a makeup artist and even as an assistant lawyer. At the same time, I recorded my first demo tapes and posted them on the Internet.
Singer career
It is not known how Anna’s life would have turned out if one late evening a telephone call had not unexpectedly sounded in her apartment. She received a call from young producer Artem Umrikhin, who was looking for a soloist for his new project. By that time, he was already well known in the music community: he collaborated with Anna Sedokova, Ivan Dorn, Dzhigan and other famous performers.When Artik called me, I was honestly shocked. By that time, my hands had already given up, I didn’t want anything and mentally resigned myself to the fact that I would cook borscht and do housework.
Having stumbled upon Anna’s tracks on the Internet, Artem immediately realized that she was exactly what he needed. The young singer’s phone number was given to him by the creator of the group “Mushrooms” Yuri Bardash. Artik immediately offered cooperation to the girl and soon the guys recorded their first joint song in a Kyiv recording studio. This is how the duet Artik & Asti arose, which a year later loudly announced itself with the track “My Last Hope”. The video for this song was viewed by about one and a half million people in a month.Artik&Asti – My last hope (the group’s first video)
Soon the duo moved to Moscow, where the young performers began a completely different life, consisting of dense studio work, intensive concert activities and frequent tours.
It was not easy for Anya to immediately adapt to such a rhythm, but Artem was always nearby, who became not only a stage partner, but also a faithful ally, best friend and advisor. In addition, the indescribable emotions from going on stage, the energy auditorium and the feeling of a dream finally coming true more than compensated for all the difficulties.
The girl recalled that at the beginning of her career she was a rather plump person. She was greatly hurt by articles in the tabloids, where she was reproached for overweight, and comments from subscribers who called her frankly fat. Yoga, meditation and stretching helped the singer lose weight.
In 2013, the deu band’s first album, “RayOneNaTwoih,” was released, and six months later, Artik and Asti were nominated for an award from the Russian Music Box channel (category “Best Promotion”). The second album “Here and Now” became one of the most popular of 2015 according to Yandex.Music. And the video for the song “You Can Do Anything,” based on the movie “50 Shades of Grey,” main role in which Agnia Ditkovskite performed, brought several more prestigious awards to the young musicians.
Artik&Asti – You can do anything
In 2016, the group received two nominations for the RU.TV award (“Best Start” and “Best Start” Best Role in the video") and a nomination for the Muz-TV award ("Breakthrough of the Year"). In the summer of the same year, the musicians released the single “I am yours” (the lead composition from the upcoming album), a little later the video was released, which, as always, could boast of excellent camera work, but many listeners decided that the video looked more like an action movie and was not suitable to a romantic song.
In the spring of 2017, the third album of the duet “Number 1” was released, which, like the previous ones, aroused the keenest interest of the public.
Asti's personal life
Unlike many popular people, Anna tries not to advertise her personal life. She had a loved one, he was not from the artistic sphere and due to the nature of her activity, the singer did not see him as often as she would like. Perhaps because of this, their relationship was doomed, and in 2018 Anna experienced a painful separation. 
But the beauty was not alone for long. Soon she had a new young man. In July 2019, when Asti began demonstrating on fresh photos engagement ring, the telegram channel “Only Nobody” managed to declassify the name of her lover. The man of her heart is Stanislav Yurkin, he (at the time of the beginning of their relationship) was 40 years old, behind him is his first marriage, in which his daughter Varya was born. He also has nothing to do with the stage, he owns his own bar.
The personal life of a singer, and in the life of a smiling girl Anna Dzyuba, "hidden behind seven locks." But for the first time in a long time, Woman.ru magazine was able to talk with Anya on frank topics “without cuts.”

The group Artik & Asti, which includes Artem Umrikhin and Anna Dzyuba, loudly announced itself in 2011 with the release of the song “My Last Hope”. Over the past six years, the guys have become one of the most popular artists in Russia, and their songs are among the most played.
Artem is not only a soloist, but also the founder of the group, he decides what and how to sing. But Anna became his “other half” on stage absolutely by accident - by pure luck. Woman.ru talked to the modern “Cinderella” and found out how she coped with the onslaught of fame, who is her authority and what will happen to the group when she goes on maternity leave.
Perhaps the name Anna Dziuba is unlikely to mean anything to many. Another thing is Asti! Name popular group Artik & Asti has been on everyone's lips for a long time. It is not surprising that Anna, who is the lead singer of the duet, has long called herself Asti. In addition to working in a super successful team, the singer opened the “Beauty Bureau from Anna Asti”, where our meeting took place. Without an ounce of makeup on her face, with a mop of loose hair and in a voluminous hoodie, she looked like a teenager, but during the conversation she revealed herself as a strong-willed, confident, attractive girl in an adult way. By the way, during our interview, satisfied visitors to the Beauty Bureau more than once approached the singer with words of gratitude not only for the quality services of the salon, but also for the sincerity and openness of Anya herself, which was only confirmed by our conversation. Our heroine came to the meeting not alone, but with a Sphynx kitten.
“I'm a cat person. I took this cat as a gift for a friend, I have the same one at home. But I’ve already become so attached that I don’t think the kitten will reach my friends,”
Anya shared with us, laughing.
Ani-Asti's journey into the world of show business began with the most ordinary phone call. In 2010, Artem Umrikhin (at that time he had been involved in music for many years) decided to create a group, and for this he needed a vocalist. The singer accidentally came across a recording of Anna Dzyuba’s song on the Internet, after which he found her phone number and offered cooperation. This is how the group Artik & Asti appeared...
Woman.ru: Anya, today you popular singer, but your career as an artist began quite by accident. At what point did you realize the extent of your popularity?
Asti: I think I still haven't realized it. I can’t even believe that I was so lucky. Maybe that's why I don't have star power. I remain a simple girl. The way fans know me is 100% me. When I'm on stage, I open up completely because everything comes from the heart. 40 minutes pass - I got my buzz, exchanged energy and left.
Woman.ru: You and Artem have been working in tandem for many years. Are you quarreling?
Asti: No, he and I are absolutely on the same wavelength. We have never had such quarrels that we would become hysterical, slam doors, leave... Sometimes there are screams, but this is all because I am a girl working in an exclusively male team. “In our team, I created a family atmosphere so that we would always be together, support each other, and be friends. Therefore, if we quarrel, we quickly make up.” In all seven years of our cooperation, I only gave up twice. There was a moment when, due to the hellish schedule, my nerves gave way. I started to be capricious and said some nonsense. The next day Artik talked to me as if nothing had happened. He understood that I just needed to talk it out. He is generally a balanced person; it seems to me that it is simply impossible to piss him off. That's why the last word always behind him. At the same time, what’s nice is that Artik doesn’t act like a boss. It seems to me that he is the only person I listen to in my life. I don't listen to anyone anymore, not even my parents. We have been together for many years - Artik helped me adapt to a new life, because in Moscow I was completely alone, we went through many difficulties together. Over the years, Artik has become a dear and close person to me, a brother who taught me everything.
Woman.ru: How did the dream of becoming an artist appear?
Asti: It seems to me that almost every girl dreams of this. Yaroslav musical family and from childhood I was an artistic, active child. My older sister and I almost every day made up some kind of games, organized concerts, and fashion shows.
Asti: I don’t know... It’s just that when you’ve lived alone for a long time big city, was able to get up, did something worthwhile, you no longer depend on anyone. I have always been an obedient child, but character is character. I am firm, strong, stubborn, especially now. Character is still formed over the years and depends on what kind of people you communicate with, what problems arise and how you solve them. “When Artik called me, I was honestly shocked. By that time, my hands had already given up, I didn’t want anything and mentally resigned myself to the fact that I would cook borscht and do housework. I was sure that one gets into show business with the help of money or connections, which I did not have. Or through bed, which didn’t suit me.” Artik’s call was real luck, I never thought of missing this chance, so I had to change my life. And when I left, who helped me? Nobody, all by herself! For the first six months, I practically didn’t leave the house, except to go to the store. I had no friends or acquaintances here. And, of course, when you grow up in such conditions (and in seven years I have grown a lot), then who will you listen to? That's right: only yourself. When people today try to tell me how to live, what to do, I say: “Where have you been for 27 years of my life? You weren't there, but I managed somehow. I can handle it now.” I only listen to successful people. Listening to losers is a bad idea.
Woman.ru: I can assume that you don’t care much about criticism on Instagram either.
Asti: The first time I cried so much! How offended I was... At 21, I was a plump girl - I had just left my parents. And they photographed me all the time so that I turned out to have a square face, as if I had four chins. I was worried that I was fat, although at that time I weighed five kilograms less than now. And so I began to lose weight, then gain weight. The media wrote that I was “fat.” And I just have this facial structure, I can’t do anything about it, but you can’t prove it to people. And when you are not confident in yourself, such criticism completely unsettles you. “Literally a couple of years ago I told myself: “You are who you are, and you can’t do anything about it. But you can work on yourself, or you can whine. That's all". Moreover, you first need to work on yourself from the inside. I changed externally only when I began to feel better internally. Many noted that I had become more feminine, charming, and mature.” When you are confident in yourself, it is impossible to unsettle you, push you off your intended path, interfere with or offend. Artists must understand that on the one hand they will tell you that you are great, and on the other hand they will tell you that you are mediocrity. Everyone only likes a hundred dollar bill!
Woman.ru: Aren’t you afraid that such confidence can develop into self-confidence?
Asti: I hope everyone sees that I'm simple open man. At a certain point I had to make a choice what kind of person I should be, because it wasn’t easy. At first, I didn’t know what to do at all - I was taught how to behave on stage, how to dress. Anya Sedokova helped create my first looks and took me to her stylists. I was generally “green” - a girl from a small town. Then, gradually, they began to give me freedom, and today I myself choose how to dress, how to move on stage, and communicate with fans. And if I don’t want something, I won’t do it - fortunately, I’m not 16 years old anymore. “I had to become self-confident somewhere, because that was the only way I could remain myself. Previously, I was afraid to move, the microphone in my hands was shaking, I thought that the audience was staring at me and looking for flaws. And today I have an inner core, thanks to which I stand firmly on my feet and don’t feel like a rag.” The main thing is that, no matter what, I remain a man of heart. But with brains. I like to think, to pick myself.
Woman.ru: Can you name three of your qualities that you are especially proud of?
Asti: I think this is, first of all, kindness, openness and determination. At the same time, I’m probably even too open - I immediately trust everyone, love everyone. But crowds scare me - I don’t like it when my personal space is invaded.
Woman.ru: At 27 years old, you are already the owner of your own beauty salon...
Asti: Just the owner of a beauty salon. For me this is absolutely not the limit, it even seems to me that at my age I could have accomplished much more, so sometimes I reproach myself for missing so many years without thinking about development. Today I have a lot of plans and aspirations. I never stop dreaming and believing. I think I will succeed.
Woman.ru: Tell us about your dreams.
Asti: Naturally, I want to get my brainchild, a beauty salon, off the ground. I have invested a lot of effort and money here, but there are still many shortcomings that need to be addressed in the near future. Plus a career - songs, videos, filming, new album. In addition, on October 28 we will have big concert in Moscow. “And, of course, I dream of a family, children. I would like to do it as soon as possible, but for now it’s impossible.”
Woman.ru: Why?
Asti: For now, my career takes up all my time and energy. And I don’t want to get pregnant and then have my child grow up without a mother. I’m not ready to give up my career right now to plunge into motherhood. I want a family, but this moment I’m experiencing an incredible rise in my career and I can’t just take it, leave everything and say: “I’m joining the family.” An artist cannot afford this - you have to release a new track every one and a half to two months. And if you missed at least six months - that’s it, you’re gone, you’ve been caught up and surpassed. Today in show business great amount artists, groups, new releases come out almost every day, many of which become hits, so you can’t yawn. “Artik and I have been on stage for seven years now, and only in Lately our group began to gain momentum. I would be a complete fool if I now let years of effort, labor and nerves go down the drain. There will be no group without me." They used to tell me: “You are 27 years old, soon 30 - you urgently need to get married and have children.” And I was terribly tense about this, telling myself: “We have to hurry.” And then it dawned on me that there is no point in marrying just anyone and then getting divorced, and your child growing up without a father. Or endure endless scandals. Today I know for sure: if something is not in your life, it means the time has not come yet. Anna Asti
Woman.ru: You are now in a relationship, but you prefer not to talk about it. Why?
Asti: Yes, I'm in a relationship and absolutely happy. I don’t shout about it because I finally realized that happiness loves silence, that you need to listen to someone less and trust your heart more. Don't rush time - yours will come to you. “I’m so happy that I don’t want to share it with anyone. This is so personal, intimate... People always try to get in, give advice, express their opinion, but I don’t need it.” I used to, like many Instagram girls, post on social networks both photos with bouquets and posts about how happy I am. But today I know that when you really feel good, you want to keep it in your cozy little world, and not run around and talk about it left and right. At some point, emotions overwhelmed me, and I really wanted to talk about my happiness, but then I was let go (smiles).
Woman.ru: Probably because of your work you see each other very rarely.
Asti: Of course, this bothers us, I miss you very much, I always want to be held in my arms, to be hugged, to be pitied, I am drawn to go home. But we are never bored. Relationships do not like routine, everyday life - very often this is why many couples break up. You start getting angry at each other over little things, pissing each other off over little things, and everything falls apart. We miss each other so much that we enjoy every minute together. It is very difficult when you are together all the time, you have common interests, you talk about the same thing - you simply have nothing to surprise each other with. But if you live in different worlds, you have different careers, you are interested in different things, spend a lot of time apart from each other, then you will always be interested in being around your soulmate. Of course, I’m sad without him, but what a joy it is to return home after two days and, having missed him, hug, kiss, and share the news.
Woman.ru: Returning to dreams of a family: are you planning to go on maternity leave after the birth of your child or will you rather return to work?
Asti: I will be an active mother. My sister has two children, I was even present at the birth, her babies grew up before my eyes, and I know everything about raising children. I also know about postpartum depression. So for it not to exist, you need to be distracted by something. “Sometimes there comes a time for everyone when you want to lie for days without getting out of bed, stare at one point and suffer. The surest way to avoid this is to do something, and then you simply won’t have time for depression.”
Woman.ru: Formulate your motto for life.
Asti: The phrase is spinning in my head: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” I think it describes me exactly. I'm emotional, I need everything at once. I can't be stopped. I want to breathe deeply, I want to do as much as possible, this life is not enough for me. I’m 27 years old, but it always seems to me that I didn’t have time to do so much, didn’t see, missed, didn’t recognize. I would be infinitely happy if there were more than 24 hours in a day, but that’s what life is for, that’s what time is for, so that we learn to appreciate every moment.

“Sometimes there comes a time for everyone when you want to lie for days without getting out of bed, stare at one point and suffer. The surest way to avoid this is to do something, and then you simply won’t have time for depression.”
website: Formulate your motto for life.
Asti: The phrase is spinning in my head: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” I think it describes me exactly. I'm emotional, I need everything at once. I can't be stopped. I want to breathe deeply, I want to do as much as possible, this life is not enough for me. I’m 27 years old, but it always seems to me that I didn’t have time to do so much, didn’t see, missed, didn’t recognize. I would be infinitely happy if there were more than 24 hours in a day, but that’s what life is for, that’s what time is for, so that we learn to appreciate every moment.
