Personal life

Belyaev was born on September 18, 1979, in Magadan, Russia. [1]

In 1984, at the age of five, Belyaev enrolled in his first Music School in Magadan, Russia. Initially interested in studying drums, he opted for piano classes due to his young age. Despite frequently falling ill, he actively participated in music contests and received multiple awards. [2]

At the age of thirteen, Belyaev met Evgeny Chernonog and began studying at his jazz studio. By 14, he was performing jazz compositions with renowned jazz musicians in Magadan. At 16, Belyaev joined a youth jazz orchestra and recorded well-known jazz standards alongside Evgeny Chernonog on two pianos. [3]

When Belyaev turned 17, his mother insisted on moving to Khabarovsk, Russia, where he gained admission to the Khabarovsk State Institute of Art and Culture, specializing in pop-jazz.

In 2012, Belyaev married Yulia Aleksandrovna Belyaeva. On May 22, 2017, Anton and Yulia welcomed their son, Semyon. [4]

Professional career

In October 1998, Belyaev worked as a musician in various clubs in Khabarovsk. By 2004, he had become the art director of the "Rus" club, where he assembled a group of musicians, including Dmitry Pavlov (guitar), Maksim Bondarenko (bass), Konstantin Drobyt’ko (trumpet), and Evgeny Kozhin (drums). Utilizing the club's technical resources, Belyaev embarked on creating music that would later form the foundation of Therr Maitz. [5]

In 2006, Belyaev shifted his base to Moscow, where he worked as an arranger for four years. While in Moscow, he collaborated with artists such as Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Igor Grigoriev, Maksim Pokrovsky, and Polina Gagarina. [6] [7] In 2013, Belyaev participated in the second season of the Russian version of The Voice. All four mentors of the show selected him, and he chose Leonid Agutin as his coach. However, he was eliminated by Agutin after the second round, but was subsequently saved by Russian ethnic singer Pelageya. Belyaev eventually exited the show during the semifinal stage. [8] During the autumn of 2014, Belyaev supported the Russian Greenpeace project "Million for Separate Collection" and presented an exclusive song called "Stop. Quiet" as a gift to those advocating for waste recycling. [9] [10]

In 2015, Belyaev served as a sound producer for the TV show "Main Stage" ("Glavnaya Scena") on Channel Rossiya-1, working on Igor Matvienko's team. He also served as a jury member during the qualifying castings. [11]

On 7 January 2015, the film "Voices of a Big Country" ("Golosa bolshoi strany") was released, with Anton Belyaev serving as the sound producer and composer for the movie. [12]

Towards the end of 2016, Belyaev created music for the immersive play "The Returning" ("Vernuvshiesya"), which premiered on 1 December 2016, in Moscow. The play was a collaboration between directors Viktor Karina and Mia Zanette from the New York theatre company Journey Lab and Russian producers Vyacheslav Dusmuhametov and Miguel (choreographer and mentor of the TV show "Dances" ("Tancy") on TNT Channel). [13]

On 14 February 2018, the Russian film "The Ice" had its premiere. Belyaev composed the film's music in collaboration with Dmitriy Selipanov. The film subsequently premiered in Germany, China, and South Korea, earning Belyaev and Selipanov the "Golden Eagle Award." [14]

In 2019, Belyaev took part in the advertising campaign for UNIQLO, which focused on promoting a new collection and the introduction of an online shop in Russia. [15]

Awards

Belyaev received a nomination for the GQ award "Man of the Year 2015" in the category of "Musician of the Year." [16] In 2016, he was featured in GQ's list of "50 Most Stylish Men." Additionally, he was honoured as "The Most Stylish Man" at the Fashion Summer Awards 2016 by the Fashion TV channel. [17] Selipanov and Yulia were recognized as one of GQ's "25 Most Stylish Couples of 2017." In 2018, Belyaev was once again included in GQ's list of the "100 Most Stylish Men."
