Yuri Shatunov

Due to a non-existent relationship with his father, Vasiliy Klimenko, Yuriy chose to use his mother's, Vera Shatunova's, surname at a young age.

This included running away from the orphanage, playing the guitar, singing on the streets to get money and cigarettes, getting into fights, and avoiding work.

In 1996, Shatunov moved to Germany, where he wanted to complete his education, but left unfinished as a result of his turbulent youth and early career in music.
