Irakli Pirtskhalava

Irakli Pirtskhalava, better known as Irakli, is a Russian singer of Georgian origin. Fans of Russian popular music fell in love with the hits "Drops of Absinthe", "London-Paris", "Vova-Chuma", "I am you", "On the boulevard" and others.

Irakli was born in Moscow. The boy grew up in an incomplete family - he was raised by one mother, Nana Rozhdenovna, who was an engineer by training, but dreamed of a creative profession for her son. Mom did not let Irakli go to the sports section, which the boy had dreamed of. Only at the age of 13 did the teenager go to football at the Lokomotiv Children's and Youth Sports School, but for big-time sports it is, of course, too late, and soon Pirtskhalava abandoned the dream of football victories.

At school, the boy studied poorly. Because of this, he changed five educational institutions, including a boarding school with a French bias. In addition, my mother insisted that, instead of football training, Irakliy attend a music school to study violin.

It cannot be said that at that moment Pirtskhalava was happy to change the ball and boots for a violin and a music stand, but, as time has shown, music was destined to make him a star. In his youth, Irakli became interested in hip-hop music. To look like idols, the young musician even began to wear wide pants.

Has an artist and higher education, and not quite specialized. In 2010, Irakli graduated from the State University of Management with a degree in Management in the Music Industry. The teaching staff included Lina Arifulina, Mikhail Kozyrev, Yuri Aksyuta, Artemy Troitsky.

The creative biography of the singer developed successfully from an early age. As a teenager, Irakli Pirtskhalava first appeared on the stage. The young man went to the casting, which was conducted by the famous hip-hopper Bogdan Titomir in the 90s, and was able to prove to the star that he was worthy to enter his dance group. Irakli, along with other young men and women who passed the competition, participated in solo concerts of the idol. The events were held at the Olympic Sports Complex with full houses.

At about 16 years old, Irakli tries to sing and even records his debut composition in a professional studio. The first group that Irakli organized together with a friend was the musical group "K&K" ("Fang and Kuporos"). Young people who performed hip-hop music achieved success among their peers and even released their own audio tapes.

Then there was an invitation from producer Matvey Anichkin to become a member of the Tet-a-Tet group. The ensemble lasted four years, releasing an album and a maxi-single. After the breakup of the group, the young man started organizing R'n'B parties in the Garage club, which, thanks to Irakli's activities, turned into a cult place.

The young man discovered his talent as an organizer, which allowed him to become the head of a number of music and dance festivals in the capital, including the Moscow Open Street Dance Championship and the Black music festival. Later Irakli was a member of the Fellow Travelers and White Hot Ice bands.

In 2003 Pirtskhalava decided to take part in the new musical project "Star Factory". The young man heard about the ability of producer Maxim Fadeev to make stars from unknown artists.

And indeed, immediately after this show, Irakli began to release one hit after another. The singer also managed to record full-length studio albums London-Paris and Take a Step, thanks to which Irakli became a laureate of the prestigious Golden Gramophone music award several times.

The audience especially fell in love with the songs "Not Love", "Halfway", "Autumn", "I am you" and the hit "On the Boulevard", which was included in the album of 2016 release "Angels and Demons". In 2016, clips were also released for the compositions "A man does not dance" (feat. Leonid Rudenko) and "Fly". In addition to solo compositions, Irakli records songs with colleagues. Among these songs is the hit rapper Dino MC 47 "Take a step".

Irakli Pirtskhalava tried himself as the host of the "Club Peppers" program, broadcast on the radio station "Hit-FM", and also served as the art director of the "Gallery" club.

In 2009, Irakli, together with Inna Svechnikova, performed in the rating television project "Dancing with the Stars". Later he took third place in the reality show "The Island" and tried his hand at the art of reincarnation in the entertainment program "One to One!". There Irakli took the images of famous colleagues - James Brown, Ilya Lagutenko, Leonid Agutin, as well as Shakira and Alena Apina.

And in 2016, Irakli Pirtskhalava again demonstrated his success in dancing to the viewers, this time on ice: the musician was invited to take part in the next season of the popular show "Ice Age". The singer's partner was the figure skater, champion of Russia and Europe Yana Khokhlova.

Irakli tries himself in business. In 2012, the artist opened the VinoGrad restaurant, which did not last long. In 2015, the Andy's Restobar club was opened.

For a long time Irakli Pirtskhalava remained a bachelor. The actress and model Sofia Grebenshchikova was able to win the heart of the Georgian musician. The wedding took place in 2009. The family union was considered almost ideal: Irakli dedicated songs to his wife, spoke right from the stage with sincere tenderness about his love for her.

The marriage was further strengthened by the two sons of Pirtskhalava and Grebenshchikova - Ilya and Alexander, who were born two years apart. Nevertheless, the relationship between husband and wife at some point reached an impasse, and in 2014 Irakli moved to a separate apartment.

In an interview, the singer spoke of regret that he could not preserve the traditions of nepotism, but he would always support his sons and participate in their upbringing, because he himself grew up without a father.

Pirtskhalava, indeed, almost every day came to the boys, played with them, read books, put them to bed. Perhaps such concern helped stir up feelings between the musician and the ex-wife, in any case, the couple decided to try to start all over again.

But in 2015, the singer began to be noticed in the company of a young beauty from Chelyabinsk, Svetlana Zakharova, who works as a model. Svetlana appears at fashion weeks in Italy, France, London. The girl signed a contract with the Ralph Lauren brand and became the official face of the brand.

Irakli met the model while still married, but then the acquaintance was of a friendly nature. After the singer's divorce, young people began to meet.

In 2017, Irakli's video for the song "Online" premiered. The video for the song "Snow", where the main role was played by the first vice-miss of the world 2015 Sofia Nikitchuk, received over a million views. In 2018, Irakli is working on the creation of a new video for the song "Don't Cry Like a Girl", which was filmed in Mexico in February.

Irakli does not leave his dream of football. In addition to regularly participating in amateur matches among show business stars, the artist decided to embody her in the person of his youngest son Alexander. In 2017, the singer gave the five-year-old boy to the children's section of the branch of the Catalan club Barcelona, ​​which has been operating in Moscow since 2016. Now, under the guidance of the Spanish masters of the field, Sasha is already making the first assists, which cannot but please his father.
