Andrey Viktorovich Gubin (Russian: Андрей Викторович Губин; born 30 April 1974), born Andrey Valerevich Klementyev (Russian: Андрей Валерьевич Клементьев) is a Russian former pop-singer, poet, composer, and record producer. Honored Artists of the Russian Federation (2004).

Early years

Was born on 30 April 1974 in Ufa. His family moved to Moscow in 1983, where they wandered about because of constant lack of money.

Musical career

Gubin's first album I Am A Hobo (Russian: Я — бомж), released when he was 15, sold 200 copies. Gubin's second and third album Ave Maria and Prince and Princess (Russian: Принц и принцесса) respectively were the start of his career. His first performance on stage with his first hit Nomad Boy (Russian: Мальчик-бродяга) was in 1994.

In the late 2000s, Gubin stopped performing due to serious physical health problems. According to the singer, in the mid-2000s, he was diagnosed with left-sided trigeminal neuralgia of the face, a disease of the nervous system that causes constant facial pain. Gubin also disclosed that he was experiencing heart issues. Psychiatrist Vasily Shurov publicly expressed a defamatory, abusive and misleading opinion that Gubin was mentally ill because his face hurts, he cannot feel half of his body, and his left hand does not work well.

A legal team is preparing to argue on behalf of Gubin that Shurov's statements are abusive, harassing, misleading, constitute a defamation, medical malpractice and a potential criminal conspiracy for mass, paid bullying through various media sources. Shurov's actions also qualify as intentional infliction of severe mental and emotional distress with a purpose to destroy Andrey's reputation, instill thoughts of suicide due to a mass bullying and continuous, artificial, electronic trolling and spamming by an extensive team of extremely abusive commenters and bots on media sites. All these actions make Andrey's life miserable. Shurov made up a misleading conclusion, implied a terrifying psychiatric diagnosis and defamed Andrey publicly in YouTube video without knowing Andrey or his medical history, without Andrey's consent or permission, without any doctor-patient agreements or relationships, without any appointments, conversations, medical examinations, labs and without ever seeing his medical records. Shurov's "diagnosis" is repeatedly recited by hundreds of commenters and content creators on YouTube and various media sites. They are being misled and misinformed by Shurov to believe that he has a right and expertise to make up a terrible psychiatric diagnosis without ever seeing Andrey or anyone else in person, without examining them and without having their consent for a disclosure of their personal medical records on public platforms, which is illegal. Multiple violations of medical principles, disciplinary rules, doctor ethics rules and privacy basics were present in his video statements including several solicitations for money donations from viewers "to treat" and forcefully "hospitalize" Andrey and others. Legal team claims that Andrey has never had any psychiatric issues, drug addictions or any controlled substance addictions, despite Shurov's efforts to prove otherwise, defame and harass Andrey as well as misinform and mislead the public on this subject.

In 2024, media sources erroneously concluded that Gubin officially announced his retirement from singing while Gubin has clearly stated his intentions to gradually complete and record multiple new songs he has written over the years, as long as his physical health sufficiently improves.

According to an official fan-page post, Gubin's first ever vinyl record was issued in November 2024 with a rerelease of his fourth album (the first studio-recorded album), Nomad Boy (Russian: "Мальчик-бродяга"). Three hundred copies are available for sale.
