A little about the great one:

Arkady Semenovich Ukupnik is a singer, composer, producer, film actor, and musical artist. He was born on February 18, 1953, in the small Ukrainian town of Kamianets-Podilskyi, in the Khmelnytskyi region, in a family of teachers. His mother taught Russian language and literature, and his father taught mathematics. At the age of six, his parents sent him to study music. He studied violin at a music school, and then bass guitar at the Tsaritsyno Regional Music College.

In 1971, the future singer and composer came to Moscow and, instead of going to a music college, enrolled at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. However, he did not abandon music and, already in his second year, played in all the ensembles there and even in a jazz club led by Igor Bril. After graduating from the institute in 1976, with a degree in "automation and mechanization of welding production," he worked in the ensemble of Yuri Antonov, the orchestra of L. Utesov, and the group "Jazz-Attack" (1972-78). Since then, the singer and composer has not parted with music.

In 1983, Arkady Semenovich began his composing career with the song "Ryabinovye busy" for Irina Ponarovskaya. "I didn't even plan to write songs; I was fascinated by instrumental music, but one day something came over me, and I wrote a song for Irina Ponarovskaya, and she liked it." This is how the biography of the composer-songwriter Arkady Ukupnik began. He gained fame through his work with Larisa Dolina, Vladimir Presnyakov Jr., and Kristina Orbakaite. He wrote songs for Alla Pugacheva, Natalia Vetlitskaya, Tatyana Ovsyenko, Alena Apina, Sergei Chelobanov, and others. In 1982, he began his career as a singer. He is a regular participant in Alla Pugacheva's "Christmas Meetings" program. Ukupnik currently lives with his third wife. He has a son and a daughter from previous marriages. Arkady has his own recording studio, which he created with several prominent figures in the show business.

Ukupnik is one of the most successful composers. While writing hit songs, he manages to sing them himself, and at different times, his songs have topped the charts. Hobbies: collecting glasses and caps. Favorite dish: tomatoes with mozzarella, varenyky with potatoes. Favorite drink: milkshake.
