Starting conditions
Long-term practice shows that concert activity allows achieving popularity in a short period of time. However, to consolidate the success of this is not enough. Brightly designed albums with high-quality recorded compositions attract the attention of viewers and enhance the effect. Alexey Ivanovich Khlestov clearly represents all the stages of a long road to success. He tries to make rational decisions, although he considers himself an emotional person. The singer is determined to cooperate with his colleagues in the workshop and this is not bad for him. A vivid example of this is the recording of the composition "Winter Garden" with the famous Alexei Glyzin.
The future singer was born on April 23, 1976 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in Minsk. A child from an early age listened to songs performed by his father. The head of the family on a bench near the house sincerely performed yard songs accompanying himself on a seven-string guitar. Mother worked at school and was engaged in preparing amateur performances for annual shows. Alexey demonstrated musical abilities from an early age. In kindergarten, he always performed at matinees with a song about Cheburashka.
Professional activity
When the time came, Alexei was enrolled in a school with a musical bias. Already in high school, he became the vocalist of the popular vocal-instrumental ensemble "Peer." When Khlestov was 17 years old, he received a prize of audience sympathy at the republican contest of young performers. To continue his career, Alex tried to get a specialized education at the Minsk Institute of Culture. But he did not pass the literature exam. This failure did not discourage him. The singer with renewed energy engaged in concert activities.
By incredible efforts Khlestov "made his way" into the top ten winners of the regular festival "Slavic Bazaar". After that, he worked for the Syabry team for three years. In early 1997, Andrei was invited to perform in the Arab country of Bahrain. For more than six years, with short breaks, the singer spent in the Middle East. Returning to his native land, Alex harmoniously joined the party of show business. The first song, “Forget Your Love, ” gained a large number of votes when voting on the radio. A year later, Khlestov began to prepare a large concert tour in the cities of Belarus.
