How did the fate of the wife and child Kobyakova - this question also remains relevant for those who followed the work of the untimely departed chanson star.
Biography
Arkady Olegovich Kobyakov was born on June 2, 1976 in Nizhny Novgorod, in a family of ordinary workers. Father, Oleg Glebovich, was a senior mechanic at the motor depot, and his mother, Tatyana Yuryevna, worked in a factory where children’s toys were made. Arkady had no brothers and sisters. His grandmother took an active part in the upbringing, which, in fact, instilled in him a musical taste.
The school in which Arkady studied was ordinary, the same as other educational institutions in Nizhny Novgorod. As for the boy’s abilities, they were very non-standard, adults noticed his talent even when Arkady went to kindergarten. The teacher of Arkasha urged Oleg and Tatyana, the boy’s parents, to send him to school with a musical direction. Grandmother also found this idea logical, so, at the age of six, Arkasha entered the Nizhny Novgorod choir chapel in piano. The boy showed his best side, he was actually very talented.
Kobyakov's sociability went wild, but at the same time, unfortunately, his interest in the street and forbidden hobbies grew. Arkady was unrestrained and hooligan, so one of his misconduct entailed a first prison term.
Kobyakov had to get used to the new living conditions, within the walls of the Ardatov educational and labor colony for minors, where he spent no more, no less, but three and a half years.
The troubles at this event did not end, shortly before the matured Arkady was released from the colony, in the winter of 1993, by coincidence of ridiculous circumstances, his parents tragically died.
Creation
Arkady Kobyakov began composing songs during his time in prison. A song performed by a musician entitled "Hello Moms" touched the audience to the very heart. So, behind bars, Arkady found the first fans of his work. The piercing notes that sounded in the song accurately conveyed the anguish of the young man. Own sad experience of the musician formed the basis of most of his songs.
When Kobyakov’s prison term came to an end, he decided not to quit music, but to continue his professional education. On the first attempt, he managed to enter the Academic State Philharmonic named after M. Rostropovich, but, unfortunately, Arkady did not graduate from this educational institution. Echoes of the dark past from time to time made themselves felt, and parents were no longer alive. There was no one to direct the man in the right direction, and in 1994 he was again imprisoned. Kobyakov goes to prison under robbery, he will be released from there after six and a half years.
Career as a musician
Arkady did not take a lesson from imprisonment, a few years after his release, in 2002, he was arrested under fraud for four years. He writes songs, his musical piggy bank is replenished. Having been at liberty for one year, in 2008 Kobyakov was again sent to places not so remote, this time for five years. It is easy to calculate that Arkady spent most of his conscious life behind bars, therefore, he was also engaged in creativity there.
When Kobyakov was serving his third term, he came to grips with music, it was during this period that the largest number of musical compositions appeared. In the camp "South" Arkady records seven video clips. His songs were loved not only by his cellmates and warders, the whole country learned about the artist, or rather, those who are fond of chanson. In 2006, as soon as Arkady goes free, he becomes a welcome guest at parties, criminal authorities are happy to see the artist at dubious events.
In 2011, Arkady again goes to prison, but continues to engage in creativity. Then the first official release of the chansonnier was released, the album was called "The Prisoner of Souls". He later released several more albums. The number of fans is growing, everyone’s name is known to Kobyakov. A romantic who knows firsthand about the hardships of prison life, he at one moment became a hero of our time among those who are at least to some extent at odds with the law.
In 2013, at the end of his last prison term, Arkady literally stormed the cities of Russia with recitals.
Arkady passed away on September 19, 2015, in the walls of his own apartment, unexpectedly, suddenly. Cause of death: internal bleeding that opens due to a stomach ulcer. The disease developed rapidly, but without obvious signs. At the time of death, the man was 39 years old.
