Irina Otieva

Irina Otieva chose the thorny path to success, starting to perform jazz "wrong" for the Soviet Union. She was not invited to contests, festivals were ignored, and it was forbidden to publish about her in the press. At that time, Irina survived, continued to sing jazz and became one of the best.

Irina was born in 1958 in the capital of the Georgian USSR, Tbilisi, into a family of doctors. The singer's paternal name is Otiyan, she is Armenian by nationality. On the father's side, the roots go back to the ancient princely dynasty of Amatuni.

Natalia, Irina's older sister, followed in the footsteps of her parents and also entered the medical school. They expected the same from the youngest, but the biography of the future star was different. For a long time, parents did not pay attention to their daughter's talent and her desire for the stage. However, in addition to the classical school, they were allowed to attend a music school. It was there that it became clear that the child has a surprisingly rare voice range of 3.5 octaves. After graduating from the music school, Irina began performing with various groups in Tbilisi - and this is how the path to success began.

Her first success is considered to be a victory at the Moscow Festival of Jazz Music, when Irina was only 17. Otiev was taken to the Gnesinka pop department without exams - by that time a certificate had just been received. Irina often said that she pays great attention to education and theoretical knowledge, therefore she received a second higher pedagogical education. In fact, Otieva was the first certified singer on the Soviet stage.

Irina transformed the surname Otiyan into Otiyeva, more familiar to the Russian ear. After graduation, she was accepted by a jazz orchestra, led by Oleg Lundstrem. In 1984, the masterpiece joint composition "Music is my love" was recorded, which is still covered by modern stars.

Despite the fact that at that time it was customary to treat jazz with caution, the singer received a large number of music awards and awards in the orchestra. The Ministry of Culture has banned Otiev's admission to international competitions, radio and television.

Despite the intrigues, in 1982 she manages to receive an award for the performance of a Soviet song at the All-Russian competition, then at the Berlin "8 hits in the studio." In 1983, Irina took first place in another important pop art competition, which was held in Sweden. In 1985 Otieva made a decision to create her own group "Stimul-Band" and became more recognizable and beloved, recording albums one after another.

In the early 90s, she toured a lot in Europe and Asia: she was well received in Poland and Vietnam, Bulgaria and Cuba, Japan and Slovakia. Irina gave about 10 concerts in America, where jazz music was especially popular.

In 1995, a project was released to the court of the Russian audience, which became incredibly popular in the country for many years - "Old songs about the main thing." There Irina, together with Larisa Dolina, sang the song "Good Girls", after which she became famous not only in jazz circles, but also among the ordinary audience.

In 1996, Irina released her last album, "20 Years in Love", which she dedicated to the twenty years of creativity. With them, she also put a fat point in the tour schedule, stopping concerts. One of her last creations is the final song to the popular film "You Never Dreamed of" - "The Last Poem".

In the early 90s, Irina was compared to Alla Pugacheva. They even said that the two stars quarreled on the basis of rivalry. However, Otieva denied this, saying that she did not strive to become Alla Borisovna's double. Pugacheva, on the other hand, avoided answering about the comparison with a jazz star.

Otieva is constantly surrounded by male attention, but she never officially married. For a long time she lived in a civil marriage with Alexei Danchenko, the concert director of the group. In 1996, the couple broke up, maintaining a working and friendly relationship.

At that time, Irina was 32 - no family, no children, only songs and videos. The star practically began to rave about the child: she admits that once in a moment of despair she yelled at God. Irina appealed to the fact that "all evil spirits give birth, but normal people do not." Apparently, the cry reached, and in 1996, a daughter, Zlata, was born to Otieva. Who the girl's father is is unknown. According to rumors, at the time of the affair with Irina, he was married, and the singer broke off relations as soon as she realized that she was pregnant.

The singer has developed intuition, she also has mystical abilities: Irina often encounters déjà vu, is able to understand the motivation of others' actions.

Little is known about Irina's life today: she does not appear at public parties, rarely speaks at corporate parties. They said that Irina preferred a measured and calm life, realizing herself as a vocal teacher at the Academy. Gnesins.

In January 2020, Andrei Malakhov released a scandalous issue about Irina Otieva, who, according to the message of the program, lost her relevance, all connections and began to abuse alcohol. On the air of the show, Otieva opened up with the journalist in a one-on-one conversation, saying that all former friends, including Larisa Dolina, Alexander Serov and Igor Krutoy, had long forgotten about her existence.

The singer admitted that on the day of the interview she had a high fever, and the program staff, taking advantage of Irina's condition, allegedly filmed everything that was happening on a hidden camera, without warning Otieva herself.
