In high school, the girl was noticed by the director of the school jazz ensemble, he really liked our heroine’s voice, and soon he invited Irina to his team. The purposeful girl enthusiastically performed all the vocal exercises. Head training took place even at home. It was so loud that the neighbors banged on the wall in outrage.
Then Irina Tereshina had to come up with an original way of practicing, which allowed her not to disturb anyone during rehearsals. Burying herself in a pillow, she locked herself in the closet and sang her mi-me-ma-mo-mo. In 1989, our today's heroine graduated from secondary education and entered the Novosibirsk Music College, after which she became a piano teacher. During her student years, the talented Ira was a vocalist in the jazz orchestra of a music school.

Music
At school, Irina Nelson discovered jazz. The student was so carried away by this trend that she even became a soloist in the jazz orchestra that was formed at the school. But soon the young singer “outgrew” this group and decided to move on.
Ira organized her own group, the repertoire of which included many songs of her own composition. The jazz big band began touring the country. But after the music competition “Yalta-91”, where the Novosibirsk performer took 1st place, she left the group. Tereshina could not refuse the offer received from composer Vyacheslav Tyurin. He saw a talented girl in Yalta and invited her to work in the Electroversion group. Of course she agreed. It was a career leap that promised to turn a little-known singer into a star.
And so it happened. Ira Tereshina turned into the famous performer Diana. In the first year of cooperation with Tyurin, the singer recorded her first disc, entitled “Evening with Diana.”
Diana's albums were released one after another and enjoyed considerable success. Between 1991 and 1999, the singer released 7 albums. The best of them are “I want to love”, “I will return” and “Don’t tell”. At this time, Diana actively tours, often abroad. In 1993, the artist attended the music festival in Cannes. Later she participated in the visiting “Song of the Year” in the USA.
Diana received her first prestigious awards in 1996. The Soyuz studio awarded her the Golden Disc.
At the end of the 1990s, a radical turn occurred in the singer’s life. She got married and went to Germany. Actually, it was then that Irina Nelson was born. The singer's husband was Swedish citizen Andreas Nelson. The Russian woman took his last name as her stage name.

In Germany, the Russian performer met Dieter Bohlen and DJ Bobo. They influenced her further work. However, like her husband, he is a musician, traveler, Buddhist and adherent of Eastern culture.
After a short marriage, the singer returned to her homeland. Here the artist continued her collaboration with Vyacheslav Tyurin.
The composer welcomed the new trend that the performer decided to introduce into her work. She wanted to create a new project that would be focused not only on dance floors, but also on listeners with an “open mind.” Probably, the Buddhist practices that Irina Nelson met during the foreign period of her life had an impact here.
This is how the Reflex group appeared in 1999. The name was first mentioned by the singer’s close friend, stylist Alisher. Translated from Latin, “reflection” means “reflection.” This is what Irina Nelson wanted - to display her inner world.
The debut song "Reflex", called "Distant Beam", became a hit. She took first place in the charts on radio Europe Plus. And the second hit, the song “Go Crazy,” broke all records. In 2001, in just a week she rose to 1st place in the Russian Radio hit parade.
At the end of the summer of 2003, the Reflex group went international. Together with the Tatu group, she represented the country in Cologne, Germany at the international Pop Comm festival.
And in December 2005, Reflex entered the top five favorite pop groups of Russians according to the results of a vote ordered by the International Talent Agency. In the same year, the hit “Dancing” was among the top three winners of the Golden Gramophone. During these years, the group released a number of videos that gained popularity among viewers of music channels - “First Time”, “I Will Always Wait for You”, “Stars Have Fallen”, “I Love”.
Ira’s plan – to create a team that would produce hits for dance floors – worked out. In 2006, “Reflex” was recognized as the best dance project of the year according to the results of voting by Moskovsky Komsomolets. Singer and composer Vyacheslav Tyurin received state awards.
Once again, a popular performer at the peak of her fame makes a sharp turn in her career. The creative biography of Irina Nelson received a new chapter at the very beginning of 2007. The singer begins a solo career. In January, she and her composer and husband Vyacheslav Tyurin went to Dubai. Tyurin headed a multidisciplinary music studio that recorded Middle Eastern and European rock and pop music. Another direction is recording and creating soundtracks for cinema.
The singer herself spent two years under the supervision of doctors at a clinic in the mountains of Fujairah state, as overwork affected her health. In the early fall of 2008, the singer's fans were happy about her return after a time-out. During the break, the artist was preparing new material for her solo career. Now it was a completely different level. The first 2 singles were recorded at London's Air Studio, which belongs to former Beatles producer George Martin. The new songs of the pop star were produced by two people - the same Vyacheslav Tyurin and Steve Orchard, who at one time worked with such stars as Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel and Sting.
In addition to working in the Reflex group, the artist continued her solo work. In 2009, Irina released the hit “Rassvet”, followed by the musical compositions “Sunrise” and “Warm Sun”. In 2014, together with Denis Klyaver, he recorded the song and video “I’m Praying for You.” But “Reflex” also continued to delight fans with new hits, among which were the songs “Artist”, “Touches”, “Grown Girls”.
In 2020, Irina Nelson gave fans a new song, “Talk to Me.” In addition to songs in Russian and English, the singer became interested in singing mantras, which she recorded for yoga classes. The public loved these chants so much that Irina gave a concert together with ethnic musician Vladimir Muranov.

In the early 90s, she took part in a forum of young performers, which took place in the resort city of Yalta. At the forum, the girl met composer and producer Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Tyurin. The man invited her to become a soloist of the group “Electroversion”; this opened the way for the youngest singer to enter Russian show business.

The awarding of an honorary state award to her in 2020 - the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland - caused heated discussions on the RuNet. Fans congratulated their favorite on the recognition of her many years of creative activity, and “haters,” on the contrary, were indignant, not considering Irina worthy of such a high rank. The singer’s husband, Vyacheslav Tyurin, did not stand aside either, publishing a post with obscene threats against all critics.
