short biography
On March 22, 1958, the future popular artist was born in a metropolitan family far from the world of culture and art. On the paternal side, his ancestry goes back to the Perm peasant, who became known throughout the district for his unique find - a weighty ingot of gold, which he once accidentally discovered. And another ancestor of Valery Syutkin, according to him, "made friends" with the famous Russian industrialist Nikita Demidov, which even contributed to personal gratitude from the Emperor Peter the Great himself.
The parents of the eminent singer met in dance classes at a military engineering university. A romantic relationship very quickly developed into a family relationship, which became the reason for the birth of a son. During his school years, Valery was distinguished by diligence and good academic performance, until rock and roll became his addiction. And even when his student ardor began to subside, the parents did not interfere in the life of the adored child and gave him the opportunity to make life accents on his own. For this freedom of choice, he is still very grateful to them.
And at the age of 13, the teenager learned the bitterness of the breakup of the family. And only in adulthood, when he himself married for the third time, did his forgiveness for the act of his father, who had left the family in due time.
It is interesting that for the first time Valery began to think about a career as a musician at the age of 11 when he heard the composition of the Beatles. The boy was immediately eager to reproduce this melody, which is why he urgently began to learn to play the guitar and an improvised drum set assembled from tin cans. And real drums appeared for a novice musician in high school, when he was able to earn money on them on his own.
And the debut musical group of Syutkin was the group "Excited Reality", with which he performed at his school. The repertoire of young people who were part of the VIA at that time included the popular compositions "Deep Purple", "Smokey" and "Led Zeppelin".
Personal life
The romantic aspect in the life of the heartthrob Syutkin is for many of his fans no less important part of his destiny than his professional activities. Therefore, the press has always attached great importance to him. Of the three marriages of the show business star, the first two attempts to create a family hearth were unsuccessful and rather short-lived. This, according to the singer himself, was predetermined by his frivolity and increased attention from numerous fans, with whom he often cheated on his spouses. However, Valery Syutkin considers today's family union to be special, and “loves his wife at the molecular level”.
The first attempt to start a family was made in the early eighties of the last century. Despite the fact that the singer does not reveal the name of his former chosen one, explaining this by ethical considerations, this two-year marriage was the reason for the birth of his daughter Elena.
The next trip to the registry office, Valery made with a girl, whom he recaptured from his own friend. This event took place in the late 1980s and also did not lead to a long-lasting union of hot hearts. However, a short-term marriage was the reason for the birth of a son, Maxim. And the divorce happened not even because of the systematic "adventures" of the domestic dandy, but because of the appearance on his life path of the girl Violetta, with whom he fell in love without memory.
The romantic relationship between Valery and Violetta began six months later as a dresser girl in the Bravo group. At that time, both were in a relationship, so their inevitable breakup was accompanied by a loud scandal. To date, the happy couple has already celebrated their 25th anniversary of living together. And their daughter Viola is now studying art in Sobonna.
Son Maxim decided to connect his life with the tourism business, and the eldest daughter Elena herself already managed to become a mother, giving birth to Valeria's granddaughter Vasilisa. The singer does not communicate with his former spouses, but he actively participates in the lives of his children.
