Personal life
editBelyaev was born on September 18, 1979, in Magadan, Russia.[1]
In 1984, at the age of 5, Anton enrolled in Music School №1 in Magadan, Russia. Initially interested in studying drums, he opted for piano classes due to his young age. Despite frequently falling ill, Anton actively participated in music contests and received multiple awards.[2]
At the age of 13, Anton met Evgeny Chernonog and began studying at his jazz studio. By 14, he was performing jazz compositions with renowned jazz musicians in Magadan. At 16, Anton joined a youth jazz orchestra and recorded well-known jazz standards alongside Evgeny Chernonog on two pianos.[3]
When Anton turned 17, his mother insisted on moving to Khabarovsk, Russia, where he gained admission to the Khabarovsk State Institute of Art and Culture, specializing in pop-jazz.
In 2012, Anton Belyaev married Yulia Aleksandrovna Belyaeva. On May 22, 2017, Belyaev and Yulia welcomed their son, Semyon.[4]
Professional Career

By 2004, he had become the art director of the "Rus" club, where he assembled a group of musicians, including Dmitry Pavlov (guitar), Maksim Bondarenko (bass), Konstantin Drobyt’ko (trumpet), and Evgeny Kozhin (drums). Equipped with technical resources at the club, Anton embarked on creating music that would later form the foundation of Therr Maitz.[5]
In 2006, Belyaev shifted his base to Moscow, where he worked as an arranger for four years. His work of note includes collaboration with artists such as Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Igor Grigoriev, Maksim Pokrovsky, and Polina Gagarina.[6][7] In 2013, Anton participated in the second season of the Russian version of The Voice. All four mentors of the show selected him, and he chose Leonid Agutin as his coach. However, he was eliminated by Agutin after the second round, only to be saved by Russian ethnic singer Pelageya. Anton eventually exited the show during the semifinal stage.[8] During the autumn of 2014, Anton Belyaev supported the Russian Greenpeace project "Million for Separate Collection" and presented an exclusive song called "Stop.Quiet" as a gift to those advocating for waste recycling.[9][10]

Towards the end of 2016, Anton created music for the immersive play "The Returning" ("Vernuvshiesya"), which premiered on 1 December 2016, in Moscow. The play was a collaboration between directors Viktor Karina and Mia Zanette from the New York theater company Journey Lab and Russian producers Vyacheslav Dusmuhametov and Miguel (choreographer and mentor of the TV show "Dances" ("Tancy") on TNT Channel).[13]
