Biography of Andrii Cherepushchak

Andrii Cherepushchak was born on 31 August 1992 in Truskavets, Lviv Oblast. He spent part of his childhood in his hometown before his family moved to the village of Ulychne. After his parents divorced, Andrii stayed with his grandparents, while his mother went to Italy to work abroad.

During his school years, Andrii experienced bullying. In interviews, he spoke about the mockery and verbal abuse he endured because he wanted to stand out. Despite this, he sought ways to express himself and was interested in the opportunities available beyond his familiar surroundings.

After finishing school, Cherepushchak moved to Kyiv and enrolled at Kyiv University of Culture, where he studied cultural studies. He later worked in advertising, gaining experience in developing creative ideas. These skills subsequently proved useful when he began creating his own content for social media.

How Halytska Diva Came About

In 2022, following the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he began posting humorous sketches on TikTok. In his videos, the blogger portrayed everyday situations, human habits and current topics using irony and exaggeration.

The stage name «Halytska Diva» originated during a TikTok livestream. Andrii spoke about his Galician roots and zodiac sign, and a name emerged during the conversation with his audience that later became his recognisable creative identity.

The popularity of his videos helped the blogger build his own audience. Halytska Diva’s persona stands out for its expressive mannerisms, distinctive intonation and self-irony.
