Leontiev Valery Yakovlevich, actor, Russian singer, was born in 1949 on March 19 in the Komi Republic, father Yakov Stepanovich, zootechnician, mother, Ekaterina Ivanovna, housewife.
Leontiev’s artistic streak manifests itself early: from a young age Valery reads poems, as was customary earlier “with a stool”, to parents and their friends. Having become older, Leontiev begins to sing in the school choir, is fond of dancing and takes part in the productions of the drama circle at school, graduates from the music school in the piano class.
Graduation from school is always the beginning of a new life, so it was for Leontiev. Gathering up courage, Valery goes to Moscow and submits documents to GITIS, but at the last minute takes them back. Returning home to Yuryevets, the future Russian pop star goes to a brick factory as auxiliary workers; then changes many professions from a postman to a tailor.
During his studies at the Vorkuta Mining Institute, he takes part in the Syktyvkar Philharmonic Music Competition. And it is the victory in the competition that determines the future fate of Valery Leontiev.
This is followed by Leontiev’s studies at the Leningrad Institute of Culture at the director’s department, together with training at the All-Russian Creative Workshop in the vocal class. His first vocal debut was in 1971 with the song "Carnival".
Since 1973, Valery Leontiev works in the Philharmonic, performs with VIA "Echo", since 1979 - solo in the Gorky Philharmonic. Since 1980 he has been giving his first solo concerts in Moscow. At one of the concerts, young Leontiev meets with
