Ika singer biography

In the summer of the year the radio station of the whole country was blown up by the song "Hold my hand." What exactly conquered the listeners - the noir electronic sound or the prayer cutting out the air “Breathe with me through“ I can’t ” - it’s probably impossible to say. The only thing you cannot argue with is facts. While “Hold my hand” took more and more peaks, the listeners were lost in conjectures who was behind the strange name IKA.

The appearance in the debut video of Katie Topuria only poured oil into the fire and launched a whirlwind of rumors about the "new project of the vocalist A-Studio." It seemed that the authors of the hit himself were pleased to observe helpless attempts to unravel true heroes. Having a pause in the best theatrical traditions, IKA opened cards. The IKA project is Inna Kostochkina, she is Ika -the voice and face of the project, and Nikolai Rostov is a composer, an arranger and producer.

The answer to the favorite question of journalists “What does your name mean” sounds like this: Ika is an Inna family nickname. Light, sweet, slightly strange - it was the best suited to the project in which Inna took the central place. Nevertheless, the artists themselves insist that IKA is precisely the project. The project was created on February 14, then the first IKA performance at Emporio Cafe took place.

Just four months later, the first single “Hold my hand” loudly announced IKA. The success of the track Inna in her own way explains this: “I live in the texts of my songs, they are sincere, from the heart. I think that is why people love them and believe them. At one of the performances, the girl handed me a note in which she told me a very difficult situation in her life and thanked me for my music, for supporting her in trouble.

This incident touched me very much, and if our work at least one person on this earth brought at least small support, I and my team live not in vain. ” The awareness of her calling came to Ike at a very tender age of 6 years, when she, under the accompaniment of a boyfriend’s boy, made the whole hall sob over the Russian folk song. Ika was always famous for her indefatigable enthusiasm and energy, so her life was like the well -known “drama circle, a circle in the photo”.

Nevertheless, “Hunting to sing” prevailed over the rest of the hobbies, and by the age of 16 there were more than one won singing competition, concerts at government events and participation in numerous projects. Then the meeting of Inna and Nikolai occurred, although then no one yet assumed that it would become largely fateful. At that time, Nikolai worked at a local radio station, and once Ika came to the studio to write down the track together with her father-musician.

The music tied the guys so tightly that after graduating from school in Kaliningrad, where the Inna family moved, the girl preferred to leave for Moscow, where Nikolai, in addition to ambitious plans, already had her own recording studio.

Inna has always been not to occupy the character and will, therefore, while her peers were hanging out in clubs and started novels, Ika studied at the faculty of cultural studies during the day, recorded her songs in the studio in the evenings, and performed in clubs at night. Constant work on themselves, perseverance and charisma gradually brought Ike a reputation as a real professional.

Colleagues in the artistic workshop have repeatedly noted its filigree ownership in any style, relevant and vivid presentation, brilliant knowledge of the English language, in which Inna writes the texts of songs, however, in order to become a solo artist, it took time. I believe in what is called a positive psychology: as soon as I introduced myself on stage, in a suit, with dancers - after two weeks my first performance was held like IKA "Next came at a frantic speed - in less than a year two successful single, one of which entered the soundtrack for the film" Anti -Ciller D.

Major Laible Gala Records, two clips were shot. The IKA project has become a welcome guest of the best club venues in Moscow. In the near future - the release of the debut album "Fragile Eyams". The release is scheduled for December. Contrary to the overflowing practice, the musicians selected ten tracks that are not inferior to each other in chimoviness. In a professional musical environment, Nikolai Rostov has established himself as a first -grade sound service.

The quality of his work is estimated even behind the ocean. So, for example, the world -famous Sterling Sound studio, among the clients of which Beyonce, Madonna, Coldplay and also a host of first -sized stars, gave a review of the sent tracks by Nikolai as follows: “Your production corresponds to our level, and we have nothing to add to this. Good Job! The fact that IKA is ideal club music convincingly prove the DJs throughout Russia, invariably including “hold my hand” into your playlists.

The IKA project was rapidly starting at the beginning of the year, conquering the listeners with the bomb "Hold my hand." The second song “Zero in Love” became the soundtrack for the film “Anti -Ciller D. took only 6 months to create a full -fledged album“ Fragile Echers ”.It was from the song "Hold my hand" the fans of the actual Dance and new electronic trends began to closely monitor everything that IKA does.

The light summer dance track became the beloved of the DJs not only of radio stations, but also to nightclubs. Daring, dance, with a share of humor, the video became the leader of the views on the YouTube portal !!! In winter, IKA pleased with the new XIT - the song "I am punching without you." In December
