Ivan Dorn and “A Pair of Normals”
In 2007, at one of the concerts in Kyiv, Ivan met Anna Dobrydneva. After some time, Ivan and Anya began close creative collaboration and soon created the duet “Pair of Normals”. Thanks to their energetic, purposeful image, the “Pair of Normal” team very soon became popular. In October 2008, the group presented listeners with their debut album, “I’ll Come Up with a Happy Ending.” The disc took first place in the Ukrainian and Russian charts within a month.
However, the debut album became the first and last record recorded by Ivan and Anya together. Despite the stunning success of the team, in the summer of 2010 Ivan decided to leave “A Pair of Normals” and pursue a solo career. Ivan’s place in the group is taken by Artem Mekh, a graduate of the Ukrainian “Star Factory”. Ivan explains his action this way: “The contract ended, the contract expired, and I decided not to continue, because I felt that I needed to go one step higher.” Now Dorn recalls his first team without nostalgia.
Biography and personal life of Ivan Dorn
The future Ukrainian and Russian pop star Ivan Dorn was born in Chelyabinsk on October 17, 1988.
Father - Alexander Eremin, a nuclear scientist, worked at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. When Ivan was two years old, the family moved to Slavutich. His younger brother Pavel was born there. Mother - Lydia Eremina (nee Dorn). When Vanya was in second grade, his father cheated on his wife and left the family. When the boys reached a more conscious age, the woman suggested that her sons take her maiden name, because she did not want anything to connect them with their father in the future. By the way, Alexander himself did not try to communicate with his sons after the divorce.
For several years now, Ivan Dorn has been the one who, according to music critics, is ahead of the trends in the domestic music market. In addition to the fact that Ivan can really boast of certain differences in work matters, he is also one of the most secretive artists of the modern Russian-Ukrainian stage. The biography and personal life of Ivan Dorn is for the most part a sealed secret.
Since childhood, Dorn simply burst with energy and did everything he could, from creating holiday programs to playing in the school KVN team. At school, Vanya was not an excellent student, and he could hardly be called diligent. However, this did not stop him from being the favorite of teachers, and all thanks to his wit and charisma.
In sports, Ivan also did not limit himself to any specific sport. He played football, swimming, tennis and even dancing.
We must not forget that Ivan Dorn attended piano and vocal classes at a music school. It is interesting that a popular performer in the future, in his youth he did not at all intend to connect his life with music - he only, one might say, wanted to boast that, among other things, he also had a talent for music.
In his senior year, Vanya tried to get into the Star Factory. For this reason, he went with his mother to Moscow. The talented high school student managed to get into the top twenty, but he did not advance further.
To obtain higher education, Dorn even chose the cinematography department at one of the capital's universities. There, in his first year, Ivan met the now famous singer Anya Dobryneva. They quickly became friends and eventually decided to create their own well-known musical duet - “A Pair of Normals”.
Real fame came to the guys only a year after its founding. Their song “Happy End” became a real hit, literally a musical breakthrough and stayed on the first lines of not only Ukrainian but also Russian music charts for a very long time. And the video for the song was shown on various music channels for a long time.
After existing for three years, the duo broke up, which was a real shock for fans. At the same time, the reason was not a conflict between the guys, as many might have thought, but Dorn’s desire to go free and start a solo career. He still maintains friendly relations with Dobryneva.
The creative path of Ivan Dorn
Ivan Dorn first gained fame as part of the group “A Pair of Normals”. Ivan met his teammate, Anya Dobrydneva, in 2007. Talented young people decided to create a duet, and on December 4, 2008, this group released their debut album “I’ll come up with a happy ending.” By that time, the duet had already gained some popularity.
The group ceased to exist in the summer of 2010. Then Dorn decided to focus on his solo career and left the duo. His place was taken by Artem Mekh.
Since 2010, Ivan Dorn has been performing solo. He releases one hit after another, including “Stytsamen”, “Curlers”, “Northern Lights”, “Moreover”, and many others. A song released together with Apollo Monkeys called “Blue, Yellow, Red” also became popular.
In 2012, the official presentation of the first solo album, called Co`N`Dorn, took place. The album received recognition from critics and viewers, was nominated in the “Breakthrough of the Year” category at the 2012 Muz-TV awards, as well as in three categories – “Debut”, “Video” and “Design” – at the 2012 Steppenwolf awards. Dorn's photograph graced the cover of Billboard Russia magazine, in which the singer was named the main hero of young musicians.
In 2012, soundtracks authored by Ivan Dorn were used as the soundtrack for the reality show on the Yu channel “Top Model in Russian”. The chorus from the song “Curler” was taken as the basis for the musical theme. He also performed the Russian version of the song “Holiday is coming to us” for the iconic Coca-Cola commercial.
The next studio album, entitled Randorn, was released in November 2014. It included such popular singles as “Ill-mannered”, “Mishka is guilty”, “Number 23” and many others. At this time, Dorn radically changed his image, shaved his head bald and grew a beard.
The live album Jazzy Funky Dorn was released in February 2020. One of the most famous tracks of those times was the single “Collaba”. In April 2017, Ivan Dorn’s next studio album, Open the Dorn, was released. Work on the album took place in America.
Family and children of Ivan Dorn
There have been a variety of rumors about the personal life of this very shocking performer for quite some time, including suspicions of homosexuality. But in reality, the family and children of Ivan Dorn are quite real.
In 2013, the singer married Anastasia Novikova, his former classmate. A year later, the girl gave him his first child - a girl, whom it was decided to name Vasilisa. Before fans could get enough of the appearance of the first baby, another news soon appeared about Anastasia’s pregnancy, and then about the birth of a second child – this time Vanya’s boy.
Son of Ivan Dorn
The son of Ivan Dorn was born in 2015. He is only two years old and is the second child in the family of the famous singer. It must be said that the boy’s name is still officially unknown. However, Ivan Dorn himself once said that he wanted to name his son Ivan. So there is every reason to believe that this is the baby’s name.
It is still unknown whether the boy will follow in his father’s footsteps in the future or choose another profession for himself, however, it is likely that as he grows older, he will begin to show some stage talents.
Daughter of Ivan Dorn - Vasilisa
Ivan Dorn’s daughter, Vasilisa, was born in the summer of 2014. Now the baby is only three, and she is a year older than her brother. Vasilisa is the first child of the Dorn couple.
Interestingly, there are even photographs of the girl on the Internet. For example, from a party dedicated to the birthday of the son of a friend, Ivan Dorn. At the same time, it is impossible to see the baby’s face completely in them. Which, however, is not particularly surprising, since Ivan Dorn was and remains one of the most secretive contemporary pop artists, who is very reluctant to reveal details of his personal life.
Ivan Dorn now
2018, as Dorn admitted in the Evening Urgant program, became a collaboration year for him. Together with Misha Koroteev, he released the track “Preach”, and 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. In 3 months, the number of views of the video exceeded 1 million.

Now Ivan Dorn is participating in the creation of holiday programs that will delight fans on the eve of 2020. Together with fellow musicians, he will appear in the “Year of the Year” project.
Ivan Dorn's wife - Anastasia Novikova
It is noteworthy that Ivan Dorn’s wife, Anastasia Novikova, is not a celebrity, as is usually the case. She is just a former classmate of the singer, a year younger than himself. Note that the couple dated for six whole years, until Anastasia finally married him in 2013.
The wedding took place in Slavutich. Supporting Ivan’s reluctance to talk about the details of his personal life, Nastya does not appear in public, and her photographs on the Internet can be counted on one hand. It is impossible not to add that, according to Dorn himself, even despite the marriage, his career still comes first for him. The singer doesn't even wear a wedding ring. At least in front of the cameras.
Personal life: family and raising children
Dorn's personal life was hidden from prying eyes for many years, so various rumors often arose. At one time they talked about his unconventional orientation, since the musician sometimes appeared on stage in a rather strange image. However, it became known later that in 2013 he married his classmate, Anastasia Novikova, with whom he had a long-standing romantic relationship.

In 2014, his wife gave birth to a daughter, Vasilisa, however, Ivan was in no hurry to disclose this event. The singer rarely went out with his wife, but in 2020, journalists nevertheless noticed that the couple were again expecting a new addition to the family. Soon their son was born. Despite his busy schedule, Dorn tries to be with his wife and children more often. The 29-year-old handsome man is in excellent physical shape (he is 187 cm tall and weighs about 80 kg). Dorn maintains a healthy diet and makes time to work out at the gym.
Instagram and Wikipedia Ivan Dorn
Unlike his personal life, Dorn speaks about his public life with much more eagerness, and, one might say, even likes to flaunt it. Instagram and Wikipedia of Ivan Dorn are the pages that are primarily of interest to many fans of the singer, including newcomers.
Although, in the electronic encyclopedia there is not much information about him - a short version of his biography, including a stage one, reviews, a list of works and awards received. On his Instagram, the singer posts mostly selfies or pictures from events. He has almost 670 thousand subscribers.
