Childhood and youth

There is catastrophically little information about the musician’s childhood, education and family. Although half the country sings Ivan’s songs, the young man is not yet going to reveal all his secrets. According to unverified data, Ivan graduated from a military school in Voronezh. If this is so, then it is quite obvious that the guy is much less interested in military affairs than music.

Among them was the Belarusian singer Max Korzh, Ivan’s favorite performer. “I grew up listening to his songs,” the artist shares. Among the foreign musicians whom Valeev prefers is the French project M83, performing in the genres of electro-pop, indietronica and dream pop.

Many argued that in this way the boy deprived himself of his childhood. Ivan believes that, on the contrary, he has never had the best years in his life. Together with his colleagues, he took part in festive military events, Victory parades, and went to Moscow with the school.
