Valery Leontyev was born on March 19, 1949 in the village of Ust-Usa in Komi, into a family of veterinarians. It is noteworthy that before getting on stage, the future star managed to work in a brick factory, a dairy factory, as a ribbon operator at a flax spinning factory, as a postman, as an electrician, and as a tailor.
In 1972, Valery Leontyev began his creative career when his first solo concert took place at the House of Culture in Vorkuta. The first success inspired Leontyev, and soon he won the regional competition “We are looking for talents” in Syktyvkar.
In the early 80s, everyone already knew Leontyev; he sang at almost all national concerts. In 1987, Leontyev received the title of Honored Artist of the Ukrainian SSR.
The artist stages his concerts and dance shows himself. Leontyev's costumes are also his own. Valery Leontyev is also known as an actor. His credits include the films “If I Want, I Love You,” “At Someone Else’s Holiday,” “The Colonel’s Daughter” and others.
In 2020, Leontyev celebrated 45 years of creative activity. In one interview, the pop star said that he has no plans to leave the stage yet.
Leontyev is often praised for the way he looks at his age. The artist plays sports, maintains proper nutrition and sleep patterns.
Leontyev is often criticized because he is too keen on plastic surgery and has ceased to look like himself. Leontiev himself says that he does not resort to the services of plastic surgeons very often.
