Ivan Dorn - photo
Ivan Dorn is a favorite of the pop scene in Ukraine and neighboring countries. Critics and the media call the performer a star, a person who is ahead of the trends of the Slavic music market.
Singer Ivan Dorn
He deserved such rave reviews not in vain: Ivan really has many differences from his brothers in the genre.
Childhood and youth
Ivan Dorn was born in Chelyabinsk on October 17, 1988 in the family of nuclear scientist Alexander Eremin and Lydia Dorn. When the boy was 2 years old, the family moved to Ukrainian Slavutich: there the head of the family was offered a job at a nuclear power plant. After another 2 years, a replenishment happened in the family: my mother gave birth to Vanya's brother, who was named Pavel. Residents of Slavutych were spoiled by the attention of show business stars. The city was visited with concerts, La Toya Jackson,. From an early age, the boy got involved in good music, which influenced his future life.
Dorn from childhood had an inexhaustible supply of energy, which was enough for a wide variety of activities. At the age of 6, Ivan became a member holiday concert. For the performance of the Belarusian performer, a saxophonist boy was needed. There was no need to play a wind instrument, it was necessary to run out onto the stage and organically pose to the soundtrack. After the concert, the relatives realized that Vanya was a born artist.
At school, Dorn was a ringleader and activist, played in KVN, created holiday programs, and even made an ironic film about the school for graduation. Vanya was not an excellent student and a diligent student, but at the same time he remained a favorite of teachers due to his sharp mind and amazing charm.
When the boy was in the 2nd grade of school, an unpleasant event happened: his father fell in love with another woman and left the family. At the same time, his relationship with his sons was interrupted. Some time later, the sons, who previously bore the paternal surname of Eremin, changed it to their mother's, becoming Dorns. After the divorce, Ivan's mother remarried. The family had two more sons from his stepfather's first marriage. The boys were also named Ivan and Pavel. Reconciliation with his own father happened in the artist's life later, when he had already established himself as a popular performer.
Vanya was fond of sports, not limiting himself in areas: football, tennis, athletics, swimming, sports and ballroom dancing. Dorn is tall - 1.87 m.
And, of course, Ivan Dorn ended up in a music school, where he studied vocals and studied piano. It is noteworthy that the future star of the pop scene did not plan to forever connect his life with music: he only took the opportunity to demonstrate his talents in the vocal field. Nevertheless, the young man became the winner of a number of vocal competitions - “Light your star”, “Pearl of Crimea”, “Black Sea Games”.
After receiving a matriculation certificate in 2006, Ivan entered the cinematography department of the Kyiv University named after Ivan Karpenko-Kary.
Music
Even in the 11th grade, Ivan tried to get on the popular project "Star Factory - 6". According to the singer, he and his mother, who is still the main authority in the music world for him today, were attracted by the fact that the TV show was produced by an influential and popular artist.
Ivan Dorn at the Star Factory-6 projectFor the sake of the project, Ivan Dorn went with his mother to Moscow, where he passed the casting and got into the top twenty of the best contestants. However, Ivan did not work out with the "Factory": when 16 out of 20 participants were chosen, Dorn was "rejected". According to Vanya, one of the reasons for this could be deliberate negligence appearance and independent behavior.
However, in the future, Ivan Dorn will still take part in the concert of the project “Star Factory. Return ”and even achieve that it will be called a musical discovery. But this will happen only after a few years.
Studying in the 1st year of the university, Ivan Dorn heard about the casting in new group, whose work was supposed to be focused on the CIS countries. At the audition, Ivan did not think of anything else but to sing the anthem of Ukraine. When asked to sing a song in Russian, he sang the Russian anthem. There, the young artist met Anya Dobrydneva. Young people were chosen as members of the duet.
Ambitious musicians aspired to make a quality product, surpassing even Western analogues. The guys promoted performances exclusively with live sound and did not use a phonogram at concerts.
Group "Pair of Normal" - "Do not fly away"We can say that the project of 2 talented young people was doomed to success. Each of the participants came to the duet with considerable baggage behind them: that Ivan, that Anya performed a lot and successfully at festivals, in addition, Anya Dobrydneva has already managed to participate in several musical groups and had teamwork experience.
Group "Pair of Normal" - "Come back"The team also included producer and director Andrey Gulyk, who later wrote the book "Guidebook" How to become a star ":" Pair of Normals "- truth, myths and legends."
"Pair of Normals" released several compositions that the public accepted without great enthusiasm, but quite favorably. The breakthrough happened in 2008: the composition “Happy End” literally blew up the Ukrainian charts. Overnight, Ivan and Anya woke up famous, their song turned into a hit, which for months stayed at the top of the Ukrainian and Russian charts. A video was shot for the composition, which was played on several music TV channels.
Group "Pair of Normal" - "Happy End"There was an opinion among critics that Pair of Normals was a one-song group, but this opinion turned out to be erroneous: in 2008, the duet pleased fans with several new compositions that instantly turned into hits. The songs "Come back" and "Scandal" were especially popular.
In early October 2008, the duo released their debut album, which they called "I'll Think of a Happy End". He collected a lot of positive feedback and in 2009 opened the doors of the popular New Wave contest to the guys, where the talented couple received the MUZ-TV award.
In the same 2009, "Pair of Normals" went on their first tour of 29 cities in Ukraine. Not wanting to stay within pop culture, the guys created an original mix of pop, funk, soul, rock and several other genres.
The big shock for the fans was that in 2010 Ivan Dorn left the duet and decided to start a solo career. This turn of events was not the result of disagreements in the group - Ivan Dorn remained in warm relations with the old team. It's just that the time has come when the young singer wanted to fully reveal his own talents.
Ivan Dorn - "Curler"Activity as one of the soloists of the project seemed to Ivan too close. Dorn invested all his savings in the work on new material, in addition, the financial assistance of his mother was useful to him. Ivan Dorn was not going to resort to the help of producers, not wanting someone to dictate terms to him. In the work on the promotion of songs, he eventually made a bet on the Internet and did not lose.
Ivan Dorn - "Stytsamen"In 2010 and 2011, a number of popular compositions by a little-known artist appeared on the venues of fashion clubs, among which music lovers distinguish 4 bright ones - “Stytsamen” (“Do not be shy”), “Curlers”, “Northern Lights” and “I Hate”. Together with Apollo Monkeys, Ivan Dorn gives fans the hit “Blue, Yellow, Red”.
The named compositions like a virus diverge in the clubs of Russia and Ukraine, from one music portal to another. Ivan Dorn also shoots videos for these songs and launches them on the network and on TV channels, using acquaintances in the world of show business for this. They begin to talk about the young singer as an original creative unit, gradually fame comes to him.
Ivan Dorn - "Don't be shy"In 2012, Ivan Dorn released his first solo album "Co'n'dorn", which included all of the above hits. In May of the same year, the official presentation of the debut disc took place in Moscow, and the singer was nominated for Breakthrough of the Year at the MuzTV award.
In the summer of 2012, Billboard Russia magazine placed a photo of Ivan Dorn on the cover, calling it "the main character of young musicians."
Another pleasant surprise for the singer's admirers was the single "Penetrated by Me" recorded by Ivan Dorn together with DJ Insama.
Ivan Dorn in the TV show "Evening Urgant"In the winter of 2014, the second studio album "Randorn" was released, which includes the popular compositions "Ill-bred", "The bear is guilty" and "You are always in the black". The last song is especially interesting, because a video was shot for it, which ironically tells about the methods of selecting "stars" at castings.
The singer was supported in his revealing desire to show the unsightly reality of show business by the star of Instagram and the actress. In the video, she showed off her brilliant choreographic skills. Ivan Dorn starred in a funny ballet leotard for the video.
The performer again showed a tendency to outrageous at the New Wave - 2014. At the group concert, he sang a song in Ukrainian "Dance of the Penguin" and danced in a black suit with a trident. Frankly, not everyone liked Vanya's dances.
In December 2016, Ivan Dorn and Constantine performed the joint composition "Bloodthirst" on the M1 music channel. It turned out to be an amazing rave performance using a laser and a video installation.
Ivan Dorn and Constantine - "Bloodthirst"A third live album, titled "Jazzy Funky Dorn", was released in February 2017. This is the only concert CD by Ivan Dorn that can be purchased or listened to online. It includes all the old familiar hits of the singer - from Stytsamen to Curlers, which sound in a new way.
For many years, Ivan Dorn had a dream - to record an album on English language. For her sake, the artist went to America, where in 2017 he prepared the album “Open the Dorn” for release. The process of creating musical material for the disc was recorded in a documentary. Ivan also visited the vdud blogger program, where he spoke about his new job.
A television
In 2008, Ivan Dorn's television biography begins: the artist becomes the TV presenter of the Guten Morgen program on the M1 music channel. The invitation to the project was a pleasant surprise for him, because Vanya had no experience in television work before.
Since then, Ivan Dorn managed to be both a participant and a TV presenter of popular projects: he won the Ukrainian project Zirka + Zirka of the 1 + 1 channel, participating in the show along with Vasilisa Frolova, in 2011 he was the host of the Ukrainian Star Factory - 4", and in 2014 he replaced the rapper at the judging table in the X-Factor project.
Ivan Dorn today continues to develop his career both as a performer and as a TV presenter. In 2016, he became a coach in the 6th season of the Ukrainian analogue of The Voice project - the vocal TV show "Voice of the Country".
Ivan Dorn in the show "Voice of the Country" At the end of 2016, Ivan Dorn introduced the public to the first ward - the Ukrainian singer Konstantin Dmitriev, whom he undertook to produce after participating in the Voice of the Country.
Personal life
For many years there were rumors about the unconventional orientation of the singer, which Ivan himself either confirmed or denied, depending on his own mood. Many were misled by Dorn's outrageous appearance and specific behavior: for example, a young man could easily appear on stage in heels.
In fact, Ivan Dorn has been in a close relationship with a former classmate Anastasia Novikova for many years. In 2013, Ivan and Nastya legalized relations, and in June 2014, a daughter appeared in the family, who was named Vasilisa.
In 2015, fans congratulated their favorite performer on another addition to the family: his wife gave Dorn a son, who was named Ivan.
Ivan does not comment on the events of his personal life on social networks, in "Instagram" there are only photos of working moments. However, the artist reports that he organizes his time in such a way that he manages to be creative and pay attention to his family. Dorns maintain a long family tradition of making dumplings together. Ivan's parents, his siblings and half-brothers with their wives and children gather together under one roof.
Ivan Dorn now
2018, according to Dorn in the Evening Urgant program, became a collaboration year for him. Together with Misha Koroteev, he released the track "Preach", with Aisultan Seitov - the song "Afrika". In the fall, Ivan presented a new dance track "Come to your senses", which he performed together with the musician Vakula. For 3 months, the number of views of the video exceeded 1 million.
Ivan Dorn and Vakula - "Come to your senses" (premiere 2018)Now Ivan Dorn is participating in the creation of holiday programs that will delight fans on the eve of 2019. Together with fellow musicians, he will appear in the Year Year project.
Dorn Ivan Alexandrovich (b. 1988) - Ukrainian singer, TV presenter, DJ. He began his musical path in the Ukrainian group "Pair of Normals".
Now he continues his solo career, often shocking the audience with bright songs, unusual videos and bold images.
Childhood
Ivan was born on October 17, 1988 in the city of Chelyabinsk.
His father, Alexander Eremin, was a nuclear scientist by profession. When Vanya was two years old, the family moved to the city of Slavutych in Ukraine, and dad was offered a job there at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Two years later, another boy, Pavel, was born in the family.
In Slavutych, Ivan went to kindergarten, where at the age of four he began his vocal career. The boy performed "Let there always be sunshine", English-language songs, since the kindergarten was with an English bias. At the same time, Vanya fell in love with the melodic beautiful Ukrainian language. The child sang very well, so he often became a participant in city music competitions. Once the festival "Golden Autumn of Slavutych" was held in the city and among the invited guests were the group "Na-Na", Latoya Jackson, Patricia Kaas. Ivan managed to see them very close, after which he lost his fear forever. big scene.
Once a singer from Belarus came to Slavutich, she needed a little saxophonist boy to perform. Upon learning of this, my mother dragged Vanya to the casting, and he passed. The child went on stage with a saxophone, which he absolutely did not know how to play. At the same time, he also mixed up - when the saxophone was accompanied, the kid danced, and when it was necessary to dance, he imitated playing the instrument. But Ivan did everything so charmingly that the audience was delighted with him.
School years
Perhaps Vanya's desire to become an artist would not have been so strong if his mother had not constantly warmed him up. The woman really wanted her boy to become a famous singer. She assisted and helped her son in every possible way at competitions, concerts, festivals, was his producer and first critic. At one time, Ivan even did parodies, sang songs by Boris Moiseev, Shura. Mom sewed matching costumes. Now it's fun to watch videotapes of that time.
When Vanya was in the second grade, an unpleasant event happened in the family. Dad fell in love with another woman and left his wife with children, after which his connection with his sons was interrupted. Prior to this, the boys had their father's surname - Eremin. After the divorce, mother Lydia Dorn did not want her sons to have anything to do with their father, and invited them to take her maiden name. So Ivan got a German surname - Dorn. His grandfather, Emil Dorn, was a German, after the war he ended up in Ukraine. Translated from German into Russian, "Dorn" means "rose thorn" or "thorn". This surname is noble, and Ivan really likes it, he feels German blood in himself.
The absence of a father caused only a bitter resentment for his mother in the boy’s heart, otherwise Vanya remained the same cheerful and charming child. He tried to study, probably, in all circles and sections that were at that time in Slavutych - chess, ballroom dancing, tennis, football. In sports, Ivan achieved special results - the third adult category in athletics, the second category in swimming and a master in sailing. Received a musical education in piano.
At school, Dorn was not an excellent student and an exemplary student, but his teachers loved him for his wit and amazing charm. Vanya had irrepressible energy, which was enough not only for sports and music, but also for numerous school events. He was the first activist and ringleader in the class, played in KVN, organized holiday programs. And in the senior class he made a film about the school, which turned out to be quite ironic.
The beginning of the musical path
In adolescence, Ivan began to take music more seriously, parody numbers with dressing up became a thing of the past. In 2001, after the Black Sea Games festival, where Dorn took third place, he had some special flair for songs, the guy began to write music himself.
Then there were numerous participations and victories in musical competitions:
- 1st place at the Moscow competition "Light your star";
- Audience Choice Award at the "Pearl of Crimea" competition;
- 2nd place at the Black Sea Games in 2005.
While still a student of the eleventh grade, Ivan made an attempt to break into the television project "Star Factory-6", which was produced by the composer and influential person in the world of music Viktor Drobysh. Together with his mother, Ivan went to Moscow, where he passed the casting and got into the top twenty. But when sixteen final participants of the project were selected from these twenty, Ivan was rejected by the general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst. Dorn believes that, probably, Konstantin Lvovich was embarrassed by the independent behavior of the guy and his deliberately careless appearance. However, a few years later, Ivan still sang in a concert of the project “Star Factory. Return "and was even recognized as a musical discovery.
"Pair of normal"
With such a track record of victories, Dorn was not going to completely connect his life with music. In 2006, after school, he entered the Kiev National University theater, cinema and television named after Karpenko-Kary at the Faculty of Cinematography. Everything in his life was decided by a chance meeting.
As a freshman, at one of the concerts in a Kiev club, Ivan met Anya Dobrydneva. At first he thought that the girl was a foreigner, originally from Asia, and for a long time did not decide what language to speak to her. When he spoke in Russian, and she answered, I thought that Anya was Russian. What was his joy when he found out that Dobrydneva was a Ukrainian.
That evening they sang along with the performing group. And after the concert, almost simultaneously they said to each other: “And you sing great!” After such words, there was one step left to cooperation, and the guys did it. They went to parties, made acquaintances with musicians, offered their compositions and lyrics. And some people from the music world responded and decided to help.
For a long time, Dorn and Dobrydneva could not come up with a name for their group. Once, while working on another song, the guys composed the text, and it was necessary to come up with a continuation of the line: “a couple of scandalous news, we are with you ...” The phrase “a couple of normal ones” came up. Anya suggested using these two words as the name of their team.
Both Anna and Ivan were full of ambitions, they had plenty of experience, both became prize-winners and laureates of music festivals more than once. Dobrydneva has already performed with other musical groups, she knew how to work in a team. The guys wanted to make a high-quality musical product that would surpass even Western analogues. That is why they never used phonograms in their performances, promoting only live sound.
The public accepted their first musical compositions favorably, but without much enthusiasm. Fame came to Anya and Vanya in 2008 after the release of the song "Happy End", which literally blew up the Ukrainian charts. In an instant, the guys woke up famous, the song became a hit and stayed at the top of the charts in Ukraine and Russia for several months.
Critics called the “Pair of Normals” a group of one song, but they were mistaken. The duet continued to delight fans with new compositions:
- "Do not fly away";
- "Get up";
- "Scandal";
- "Come back."
In the fall of 2008, the group's first album was released, entitled "I'll Think of a Happy End". It turned out to be quite successful and collected a lot of positive feedback, moreover, it opened the way for the guys to the New Wave contest in Jurmala, where Ivan and Anya received the Muz TV award. After such success, Pair of Normals went on their first tour of 29 Ukrainian cities.
At the peak of popularity in the summer of 2010, Ivan decided to leave the duo. For fans, this step was a complete surprise. But the singer said that the group was initially only a stepping stone for him on the way to a solo career. Dorn remained on excellent terms with his partner, and Artyom Mekh, a young and promising singer from the Star Factory, took his place in the group.
Solo career
Ivan's solo career began in the fall of 2010 with the appearance of the musical composition "Stytsamen" on radio stations.
Producer and composer Igor Krutoy offered him cooperation, but Dorn refused, citing the fact that he wants to take place in the musical field on his own. He did not resort to the help of producers, he did not want someone to dictate his terms. Ivan invested all his savings in the work on new songs, and his mother also provided financial assistance.
Promoting his songs, Dorn made a bet on the Internet and did not lose. After Stytsamen, his other compositions began to gain momentum on the stages of fashionable youth clubs:
- "Northern lights";
- "Curlers";
- "Idol";
- "Blue, yellow, red";
- "Especially";
- "I hate it."
Using his acquaintances in the world of show business, Ivan shot clips for these compositions, launched them on the network and on television channels. The young singer gradually gained fame, they began to talk about the appearance in the music world of a new original creative personality.
In 2012, Dorn's first solo album, Co'n'dorn, was released. His official presentation in Moscow took place in May, and already in December the singer was nominated for the Muz TV award in the Breakthrough of the Year category. True, this time the victory did not go to him, Ivan was bypassed by another singer from Ukraine - Max Barskikh.
Dorn's second studio album was released in the winter of 2014, it was called "Randorn", it included the compositions:
- "Uneducated";
- "Bear is guilty";
- "Sports";
- "Dance of the Penguin"
The Ukrainian singer was favorably received in Russia by both critics and listeners. At his concerts, the halls are always full, and in numerous positive reviews, Ivan is called:
- "the most catchy performer of Russian pop songs";
- "a new star of the Russian stage";
- "one of the most highly professional musicians in the domestic show business."
Often Dorn shocks the audience. For example, on the "New Wave", performing the song "Attempt number 5", Ivan went on stage in women's high-heeled sandals.
In 2012, according to Viva! Ivan Dorn won in the nomination "The most handsome man of the year." The singer himself dedicated this victory to his mother and thanked her for her beautiful face. Although, receiving the award, he admitted from the stage that such a nomination was a complete surprise for him, because as a child in the yard he was often teased as a freak. Ivan said that, probably, this time they evaluated not external, but internal beauty. To which the host of the ceremony replied to Dorn: “This is not a beauty contest, a person’s success and the level of his popularity are judged here.”
So Vanya really was worthy of this award. In just two years, he managed to become the most expensive singer in Ukraine, his 40-minute concert in a club or at a corporate party costs 25,000 euros.
A television
Ivan's television career began in 2008. He was invited to the M1 music channel to host the Guten Morgen program.
We can say that since then, Dorn has not left the television screens:
- In 2011, in the second season of the Ukrainian show Zirka + Zirka, Ivan won in a pair with TV presenter Vasilisa Frolova.
- In 2011 he was invited to the Ukrainian "Star Factory 4" as a presenter.
- In 2014, in the fifth season of the X-Factor musical talent show, he replaced rapper Seryoga at the judging table.
- In the sixth season of the Ukrainian vocal TV show "Voice of the Country", Dorn was a coach.
- After the end of the project, he continued to work with one of his wards, Ivan became the producer of the young singer Konstantin Dmitriev.
Ivan also tried himself in the cinema, not in vain because he received a higher cinematic education. In 2010, at the Monaco Film Festival, the premiere of the almanac about love in the modern metropolis “Lovers in Kyiv” took place, where Dorn played the main role in the short story “The Last Night of December”. In 2013, the Russian comedy fairy tale film "12 Months" was released, Ivan got one of the main characters - Shurik.
Personal life
For a long time, the singer was considered the most enviable bachelor in Ukraine. But Ivan simply skillfully hid and did not advertise his personal life. Since 2013, he has been happily married to his classmate Nastya Novikova. In the summer of 2014, the couple had a daughter, Vasilisa, in 2015, a son appeared in the family.
As for hobbies, Ivan loves football, he is a fan of the Turkish club Galatasaray.
In October 1988, Vanya Eremin was born, who was destined to become a famous singer and musician, whom everyone now knows as Ivan Dorn. But at first, nothing foreshadowed such a future: no one in the family had the slightest relation to the world of art.
When Vanya was two years old, his father, who had a specialty in nuclear engineering, was transferred from his native Chelyabinsk to Ukrainian Slavutich. In Ukraine, the family was replenished: Vanya had a brother, Pavel. However, the birth of children did not deter Eremin Sr. from treason. Having fallen in love with another woman, he left the family, ending any communication with his sons. As a result, Ivan and Pavel got rid of their father's surname, replacing it with their mother's - Dorn.
From an early age, Vanya was distinguished by a huge supply of energy, which he directed in a peaceful direction: he studied well at school, participated in various concerts and KVN, was a ringleader and the first activist in the class. A sharp mind and a sea of charm made him a favorite not only among classmates, but also among teachers.
The young man also directed his irrepressible vitality to sports. He did not devote himself to any particular direction, but preferred to try different kinds activities: tennis, football, swimming, athletics and even ballroom dancing.
Vanya did not bypass the music school, where he studied the intricacies of playing the piano and vocals. However, in those years he did not connect his future with music in any way, and considered his passion for music only one of the ways of personal development. After graduating from school in 2006, Ivan entered the Kiev University. I. Karpenko-Kary, choosing the cinematography department.
Vanya made his first attempt to "break through" into the popular project "Star Factory" in the 11th grade. He persuaded his mother to go with him to Moscow to take part in the casting of the show. The talented guy easily made it to the top twenty performers, but at the final stage of the competitive selection, Konstantin Ernst, for some reason, rejected Dorn.
However, this failure did not break the young man, and a few years later he will still achieve recognition in this project. But in the first year, fate brought Ivan to Anya Dobrydneva. Young people who had similar musical tastes and ambitions organized their own project in 2007, which they called "Pair of Normals".
The guys tried to ensure that their musical product was of the highest quality: they spent a lot of time rehearsing, arranging, and never used a phonogram at their concerts.
With this approach to work, the great success that awaited the group became natural. The real breakthrough came in 2008 when the band recorded the song "Happy End". Real fame fell upon Anya and Ivan, and the song instantly became a hit, which for a long time held a leading position in the music charts.
