ADAM soloist Mikhail Klimenko's heart stopped on the morning of December 7. The artist was only 38 years old. The vocalist battled a severe form of tuberculous meningitis for several months and was in a coma for three weeks..

A special part of Klimenko’s life and work was his wife Alexandra Norova - partner, inspirer and loved one. They met while studying at the Variety and Circus College: Mikhail studied music, and Alexandra studied choreography.

Norova was also a close friend of Klimenko’s sister, and the musician himself admitted that he had long been interested in his future wife, although their relationship did not begin immediately.

“I’ve always liked Sasha and it’s clear - she’s a beautiful woman and who could not like. But at that time we had a teenage relationship. We were 15 years old when we entered school. And then we met by chance, already as graduates, in a little bar and things started happening,” he recalled in an interview with Lux FM..

After that meeting they never parted again. A year later they got married, and subsequently became parents of a son and daughter. The couple has been married for 16 years. " We've been apart for an hour and already miss each other. We write songs, we may butt heads, but this is a cool creative battle. This is interesting to us,” said Mikhail.

Klimenko wrote his first song in his second year of college and sold it for $300. Subsequently, his original compositions were performed by Alexander Ponomarev, Maria Yaremchuk, the Alibi group and other artists. In 2014, he created the group ADAM, for which he wrote two albums. Alexandra was always nearby in creativity. She was responsible for the choreography and aesthetics of the project, and also became the main character of the videos.. It was then that the creative concept of the duet was formed: he is the author and voice, she is the personification of visual beauty and stage movement, that is, the muse. " And I am a singer, artist, author, a husband who makes his wife happy, a director, a cameraman, someone who admires Sasha’s beauty and films her.. That's how it all started and that's how it stays. This is our game, which we came up with so that it would be interesting for both of us,” said Klimenko.

In an interview with Alina Dorotyuk, Mikhail Klimenko said that he is from Gostomel. Born, raised and lived there for 20 years. After marrying Sasha, the couple lived in Irpen for some time, but returned to Gostomel, almost under the walls of the Antonov airport..

During a full-scale invasion, they survived the first explosions in their own apartment. “We are romantics, we idealized the world and did not believe that this hell would begin. But it came. We woke up at 5:20 from an explosion. I told Sasha to pack his things – we might not come back,” the musician recalled.

ADAM became famous thanks to its heartfelt lyrics and original video works.. The song " In the video for this composition, Mikhail filmed Sasha - with the same love that was felt in each of their joint projects.

This year Alexandra launched a solo project and released the album " One of the most viral was the composition “Au Au”, created together with Mikhail.
