Aleksey Khlestov was born on April 23, 1976 in Minsk in a family of workers. “Father, as he said, loved to sing yard songs with a guitar on a bench under the house. Mom also participated in amateur performances at school. That is, they had musical inclinations, but they could not realize them at that time, ”says Alexey.
Alexei's abilities manifested themselves early - in kindergarten it was him who was always asked to sing at matinees. Then his mother, Lyudmila Nikiforovna, took him to a school with a musical bias, which was nearby. The institution was prestigious, and therefore they took it there by competition. “I sang a tearful song about Cheburashka, cried and sympathized with him about the fact that he had no friends. I could not understand how it was so, ”recalls Alexey. A few days later he was enrolled in the piano class.
However, the first to implement innate musical ability in the Khlestov family, the eldest son Andrei, who is also known to the general public, began. When Alexei was ten, he sang in the VIA "Rovesnik" - a popular children's group at that time. “I finished nine classes, I decided to enter School of Music, but because of the concerts I did not have time to submit documents, - he says. “As a result, I entered a regular vocational school.” But he did not give up music.
In 1993, at the second republican competition for young performers in Minsk, Alexei received the audience award. Then he tried to enter again - this time at the Institute of Culture. Vocal passed perfectly, but the Belarusian literature "filled up". The lack of theoretical education was replaced by extensive practice. First, participation in the "Slavianski Bazaar" (hit the top ten), and then three years of work in the studio "Syabry". At one time he also performed in a duet with his brother Andrei.
At the end of 1996, Alexei Khlestov went to work in the East, in Bahrain, where he spent six years intermittently. However, this could not go on forever. In February 2003, Aleksey once again visited Minsk: “I decided to take a closer look at what is happening here. I listened, looked ... I tested the market, one might say ... and recorded the first song "Forget You", with which he starred in "Hit Moment". She scored a large number of votes, enjoyed success on the radio, and then I realized that I need to work on.”
Then, one after another, hits began to appear, thanks to which Aleksey became the most rotated Belarusian performer of 2003. On December 19, 2003 Alexey Khlestov's debut album “Answer me why” was released on West Records, which included hits and still unknown songs.
On January 29, in one of the capital's registry offices, Alexei Khlestov officially formalized his relationship with his beloved girlfriend Elena.
His first solo concert was sold out in the small hall of the Palace of the Republic (November 24, 2004), then a tour of the cities of Belarus plus participation in tours with the Presidential Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus (March-April 2005), which ended with a large solo concert in the Palace of the Republic (April 29, 2005), which gathered the already full Great Hall!
In March 2005, it successfully passed concert tour Aleksey Khlestov with the program "Answer me why" in the cities of Belarus.
And in anticipation of the second disc, Alexey pleased his fans with the maxi-single “Break into the Sky”, released in April 2005, which included songs already beloved by the public, such as “It didn’t come true”, “Nothing happened”, 2 versions of the song “ Break into the sky "and a duet recorded with the popular Belarusian group"Pull-Push" - "Ocean of the Taiga". The presentation of the single took place on May 3, 2005 in the store "Mystery of Sound" on Nemiga.
In the summer of 2005, he took part in the show jumping of young performers, which took place from July 27 to 29 in Jurmala - became the FIRST Belarusian participant in the International Festival of Young Performers popular music"New wave-2005". After that, he took part in the Russian TV projects "Secret of Success" (RTR channel), "Saturday Evening" (RTR channel). And for the New Year's Light of the ONT channel, a duet with Alexei Glyzin "Winter Garden" was recorded.
On April 23, Aleksey Khlestov celebrated his anniversary on a grand scale at the Coliseum club in the capital! Friends, colleagues, numerous fans came to congratulate the birthday boy. The party was also attended by the Moscow composer Andrey Slonichinsky, with whom Alexey fruitfully collaborates in Lately. But, perhaps, the most shocking and unexpected gift for Alexei was a certificate for naming a celestial body, presented by fans. This means that since April 23, 2006, one of the stars in the constellation Taurus bears the name of Alexei Khlestov!
On May 30, 2007, Aleksey Khlestov's solo concert “Because I love” accompanied by the Presidential Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus took place in the Palace of the Republic with a full house.
In July 2007 at the International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk 2007" Aleksey Khlestov took part in five concerts, which is a kind of record for any performer. Also, within the framework of the "Slavianski Bazaar", the international premiere of the duet song "Two Stars" took place, which Aleksey Khlestov performed together with the young Russian actress and singer Lena Knyazeva.
In October 2007, Khlestov performed in Rostov-on-Don and Taganrog as part of the International Festival of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia. In Rostov-on-Don, Alexey was awarded an honorary diploma "For Creative Achievements".

An excerpt characterizing Khlestov, Alexei Ivanovich
We were again met by the same gloomy, ominous landscape, to which I almost paid no attention, since, like everything else, after so many trips to the Lower Astral, it became almost familiar to us, as far as one could get used to such a thing at all. ..We quickly looked around, and immediately saw Maria ...
The little girl, hunched over, sat right on the ground, completely drooping, not seeing or hearing anything around, and only affectionately stroked the shaggy, motionless body of her "departed" friend with her frozen palm, as if trying to wake him up with this ... Severe, and bitter, completely not childish tears flowed in streams from her sad, extinct eyes, and, flashing with brilliant sparks, disappeared in the dry grass, irrigating it for a moment with pure, living rain ... It seemed that all this was already enough cruel world became for Maria now even colder and even more alien ... She was left completely alone, so amazingly fragile in her deep sadness, and there was no one else to console her, caress her, or at least just protect her in a friendly way ... And next to her, a huge, motionless mound lay her best friend, her faithful Dean... She clung to his soft, furry back, unconsciously refusing to acknowledge his death. And she stubbornly did not want to leave him, as if she knew that even now, after death, he still loved her faithfully and also sincerely protected her ... She really missed his warmth, his strong "furry" support, and that familiar, reliable, “their little world”, in which only the two of them lived ... But Dean was silent, stubbornly not wanting to wake up ... And some small, toothy creatures darted around him, who strove to grab at least a small piece of his hairy “flesh” ... At the beginning, Maria still tried to drive them away with a stick, but, seeing that the attackers did not pay any attention to her, she waved her hand at everything ... Here, just like on the “solid” Earth, existed “ the law of the strong”, but when this strong one died, those who could not get him alive, now with pleasure tried to make up for lost time, “tasting” his energy body, at least dead...
This sad picture made my heart ache sharply and treacherously tingle in my eyes ... I suddenly felt wildly sorry for this wonderful, brave girl ... And I could not even imagine how she, poor thing, could be completely alone, in in this terrible, sinister world, to stand up for yourself?!
Stella's eyes also suddenly shone with moisture - apparently, she was visited by similar thoughts.
“Forgive me, Maria, how did your Dean die?” I finally decided to ask.
The girl raised her tear-stained face at us, in my opinion, not even understanding what she was being asked about. She was very far ... Perhaps where her true friend was still alive, where she was not so lonely, where everything was clear and good ... And the little girl did not want to come back here. Today's world was evil and dangerous, and she had no one else to rely on, and no one to protect her ... Finally, taking a deep breath and heroically gathering her emotions into a fist, Maria told us sad story Diana's death...
- I was with my mother, and my kind Dean, as always, guarded us ... And then suddenly appeared from somewhere scary man. He was very bad. I wanted to run away from him wherever my eyes looked, but I just could not understand why... He was just like us, even handsome, just very unpleasant. Horror and death emanated from him. And he laughed all the time. And from this laughter, my mother and I froze the blood ... He wanted to take my mother with him, said that she would serve him ... And my mother escaped, but, of course, he was much stronger ... And then Dean tried to protect us, which he had always been able to do before. Only the man was probably somehow special... He threw a strange orange "flame" at Dean, which could not be extinguished... And when, even burning, Dean tried to protect us, the man killed him with blue lightning, which suddenly "flared" from his hand. That's how my Dean died... And now I'm alone.
– Where is your mother? Stella asked.
“Mom is still here,” the little girl was embarrassed. “It’s just that she gets angry very often ... And now we have no protection. Now we're all alone...
Stella and I looked at each other... It was felt that both of them had the same thought at the same time - the Luminary!.. He was strong and kind. It only remained to hope that he would have a desire to help this unfortunate, lonely girl, and become her real protector, at least until she returns to her "good and kind" world...
“Where is this terrible man now?” Do you know where he went? I asked impatiently. Why didn't he take your mother with him?
I don't know, maybe he'll come back. I don't know where he went and I don't know who he is. But he is very, very angry... Why is he so angry, girls?
Well, we'll find out, I promise you. Now, would you like to see good man? He is also here, but, unlike that "terrible", he is really very good. He can be your friend while you're here, if you want to be. Friends call him Luminary.
- Oh, what beautiful name! And good...
Little by little, Maria began to revive, and when we suggested that she meet a new friend, she, although not very confident, nevertheless agreed. A familiar cave appeared before us, and golden and warm sunlight poured out of it.

Once, in one of the posters in the newspaper, we printed an announcement: "A. Khlestov's concert." After the concert, a bewildered reader called the editorial office: “You wrote that there would be a concert. I come, and there is not the same Khlestov. Similar, but definitely not the same. With the question of confusion, we began our conversation.
- Does this happen often?
Alexei:- Not often, but it happens. If we cannot convince the organizers of the concerts that there are two of us, A. Khlestovs, therefore it is necessary to write on posters full name What to say about ordinary viewers. Each of us has his own viewer, so in case of confusion there are dissatisfied people, this is understandable.
- No offense to each other? Disputes on the topic "who is more popular"?
Andrey: - No. We are brothers, what insults? Lesha did a good job, plowed for seven years in Bahrain, earned money, invested in himself. He made himself popular, I respect him for that. I also achieved everything myself, only it was at a different time, then there were other opportunities. I was 13 years old when I learned to play the guitar and went to sing at the VIA "Rovesnik", it was at the Pioneer Palace in the Frunzensky district. We traveled a lot along the line of the Central Committee of the Komsomol to all sorts of concerts, even in Germany we were, before Soviet troops performed. Then I sang at the vocational school in amateur performances. I took first place in a competition among creative youth like me, and I was invited to the Red Stars ensemble.
What vocational school did you graduate from?
School of metalworkers, by education a mechanic-repairman. True, two weeks of practice at the Vavilov plant is the entire length of service.
Alexei: - We're from a simple working family, both from petushnikov. Dad worked as a builder, mom was a computer operator, worked on big machines- "Robotrons" - in "Belbytsnab". Then came computerization, and it was reduced. Dad now works as a machine tool adjuster at the Krupskaya meat processing plant, and mom is retired. And after the 9th grade, the head teacher politely asked me to leave school, and I went to vocational school No. 148, so by profession I am an electrician of power lighting equipment. He didn’t work a day, and, thank God, people still have light. Somehow the light went out in my apartment, so I didn’t know where the traffic jams were, I sat without electricity for two hours until my dad arrived. How did I study? He sang more than he sat in class. At the age of 13, Andrey brought me to the same ensemble "Rovesnik", at first I played the bass guitar there, then I sang. As I remember now - "The old mill, spinning, spinning ...". I never thought that in the future I would communicate with the author himself Igor Nikolaev.
And so I repeated the path of Andrei. I went with "Rovesnik" to all sorts of competitions, we were filmed in various programs, then there were a lot of them on BT. I remember the very first shooting was in Bobruisk for the Night Rendezvous program. I opened both branches. “Hey you, sleigh” was the first song, and the second was performed with Andrey - “We are different”. And after they sang it, he went behind the stage and fainted from excitement.
- Are you different?
Alexei:- Actually, yes. We are both Taurus, but I am April and was born in the year of the Dragon. And Andrei is May, and was born in the year of the Dog. He is soft, sometimes hot-tempered. I, if I flare up, have already forgotten by the evening, and he may have a grudge for a week. Likes to work, but sometimes lazy. I'm sorry Andrew, I'm telling the truth.
Andrey:- Recently, we just see each other a little, so he can say that I'm lazy, he doesn't know how much I work. Lesha has a difficult character. He is stubborn. Other than that, he's a normal guy. As a child, of course, I freaked out when they left me for a nanny, we have a six-year difference. But all brothers and sisters go through this.
Why didn't you go to universities?
Andrey:- I haven't tried it. After vocational school, he joined the army, ended up in Osipovichi, in the rocket troops. He also sang there. It turned out funny: they fired me, and two weeks later they called: “The television ensemble is coming to shoot, there’s no way without you, return to the army.” I had to put on a uniform and go to the army for an encore. And then there were already competitions in Jurmala, in Vitebsk, somehow it started spinning and that's it, I'm working.
Alexei:- And I tried to enter the Institute of Culture, even went to preparatory courses. He flunked the presentation on Belarusian literature, they wrote according to Bogdanovich. Now I don't have time to study. If there were 50 hours a day, I would do it, only in a different place. I would have received an economic or legal education.
- Do you live in your apartments or rent?
Alexei:- I'm filming.
Andrey:- I live with a girl, this is her apartment. The girl's name is Nastya Shevtsova, she sings in Ternitsa, we have been together for four years.
- Do you have children?
Andrey:- I have two from two previous marriages. Son Nikita is 12 years old, daughter Kristina is 8. They haven’t had children with Nastya yet, she just recently graduated from the institute with honors, now she can become a mother.
Alexei:- I don’t discuss this topic (as far as we know, Alexei has a child from his first marriage. And three weeks ago, when Alexei was in Jurmala and was preparing for the New Wave contest, his son Artem was born in Minsk. - Approx. Aut .).
- Which of you got married before?
Andrey:- What time? I got married for the first time at 22. Lived for a month and a half.
Alexei:- Sometimes, in order to understand that people are not suitable for each other, one must not only live together, but get married. You completely plunge into everyday life and understand that this is not your half.
- And where did Lesha find his other half?
Alexei:- We met Lena in Bahrain, she also sang there. She will not return to the stage, we decided so - someone in the family should sing alone.
- Didn't you take Andrei with you to Bahrain?
Andrey:- He called me, and I was about to go, but such trips are being prepared for a long time, something did not work out. I breathed a sigh of relief and that's it.
Alexei:- And I do not regret that I went. It was a hard work, singing live for six hours a day, 30 days off in Ramadan, when no one night club does not work. But he gained invaluable experience. Learned English.
- Did you earn money?
Alexei:- Do you know such an anecdote?
The musician is asked:
- How are you?
- Everything is fine, now released the disc.
- And what, sold?
- Yes, I sold - a car, a summer house, an apartment ...
To make singing on stage your job, you have to be either insanely rich or simply insane. I'm in the insane stage.
Andrey:- And I somehow lagged behind life. I don't even have a computer, I don't know what the Internet is. I am glad that I am walking down the street, they recognize me and invite me to speak.
