Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Slavutych, Ukraine, Ivan remembers wanting to make music after hearing a girl in his kindergarten class play the piano. He later sang in Para Normalnykh with Anna Dobrydneva before beginning his solo career in 2010.
Finding his sound.
Ivan names “Stytsamen” as a turning point in his solo work. His debut album Co’n’dorn followed in 2012, bringing together songs including “Severnoe siyanie” and “Bigudi”. He credits meeting Roman Bestseller and forming Dornabanda as other decisive steps.
Building a musical home.
In 2016 he founded the independent label Masterskaya. OTD arrived in 2017, opening up his English-language work. The Afrika project then took him to Uganda to work with Masaka Kids Africana, combining a music video, a documentary and fundraising for a music school.
Where the music is now.
The 2025 album dorndom brings Ivan and Dornabanda together around live instruments and songs about maturity, sincerity and the pace of life. His Foreign Root collaboration with Andzej Gavriss explores displacement and belonging through the experiences of migrants and refugees.
