Peter Dranga

Pyotr Dranga is a Russian musician, talented accordionist, singer and producer. This is a unique artist who is a kind of phenomenon on the Russian stage.

Pyotr Yuryevich Dranga was born on International Women's Day - March 8. It happened in 1984 in Moscow in the family of musicians Yuri and Elena Dranga. Peter was a long-awaited son, since two daughters already grew up in the family - Lida and Evgenia.

Yuri Petrovich Dranga is Greek by nationality, he met Petya's mother Elena Kirillovna at the Rostov Conservatory. He was a teacher, she was a student. The union turned out to be creative. Music was constantly playing in the house. The head of the family himself reached considerable heights in his musical career. He is a famous accordionist, People's Artist of Russia.

Pyotr Dranga followed in the footsteps of his father, professor at the Gnesins Russian Academy of Music. By the way, the Petit sisters also devoted themselves to music - they became pianists. Although in an interview, the artist admitted that he never wanted popularity. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.

At the age of 5, the boy was already coping with some simple melodies. Dad taught him this. At the age of 6, the parents sent their son to the Richter Music School in the capital. The successes were not long in coming. Dranga Jr. is a regular participant in music competitions and festivals.

At the age of 12, Pyotr Dranga conquered his first tangible height: he becomes a laureate of the capital's accordion competition. He was sent to a similar competition in Italy, where he also won.

The young accordionist masterly played the instrument not only classics, but also art-rock, grunge and even punk-rock, surprising listeners with the unexpectedness of such a choice and mastery of performance. In addition, Petr Dranga has mastered playing the bass guitar on his own. The boy was considered a human orchestra capable of replacing a small musical group.

He easily created arrangements for classical music, which attracted teenagers to the world of "unfashionable" classics among the youth. He was one of the first musicians to make classical pieces popular and modern sounding.

The victories of the young virtuoso followed one after another. At first, Dranga won the jury of domestic competitions and festivals, and then a series of foreign ones followed. China, Italy, Spain applauded the Russian accordionist. But all these victories did not bring money and material well-being. As a result, the young musician, who had already performed at concerts of the Russian Culture Foundation, got a job in an aquarium salon and cleaned aquariums at home.

The creative biography of Petr Dranga began early. After graduating from a secondary school, the musician organized his own band "Torra". In the evenings, the guys rehearsed and performed, and in the afternoon Pyotr ran to classes at the Gnessin School of Music, where he studied at the department of folk instruments and conducting. After graduating from college, he entered the Gnessin Academy, where his father worked.

Created in 2000, the "Torra" collective was soon transformed from vocal-instrumental to instrumental. But no matter how hard the young musicians tried together with their leader Petr Dranga, they did not receive any great success or money. The group soon ceased to exist.

In 2002, Petr Dranga, after wandering around restaurants, clubs and bars, where he entertained the audience with playing the accordion and guitar, decided to leave the jaded capital and left for the Caucasus. The calculation was correct. The audience in the North Caucasus was much more grateful than in the large cities of Russia. The musician managed to earn decent capital, which, upon arrival in the capital, immediately invested in the business, creating his own music studio and assembling a new group, Over Drive.

In September 2002, the first tour of the musical and instrumental group took place, which was crowned with success.

Fortune finally smiled at the musician when the popular parodist Alexander Peskov heard his playing. He immediately invited Dranga to perform on his show. Together with Peskov's touring concerts, Peter toured all the large cities of the former Soviet Union, visited America and Italy. His name becomes recognizable, the first fans appear. This is facilitated not only by the talented playing, but also by the bright appearance and artistry of the young musician. Peter is now regularly invited to perform between numbers in concerts of such stars as Oleg Gazmanov, Dmitry Kogan and Patricia Kaas.

In the early 2000s, Dranga performed solo programs. Now he is a popular artist himself, who does not need to “warm up” the audience at other people's concerts.

In 2008, Petr Dranga's debut album "23" appeared. The disc was composed of the musician's most famous hits, most of which are music written by him. There is everything here: incendiary Latin, tango, rock and French chanson. The musician's performances are a fascinating theatrical performance, a mix of rock and ethnic music.

In the fall of 2009, Pyotr Dranga gave his first solo concert in the main concert hall of the country - the State Central Concert Hall "Russia". Nadezhda Babkina, Iosif Kobzon, Nikolay Baskov, Valeria, Marina Devyatova and others performed as invited guests at the musician.

His striking appearance also contributes to the artist's reputation: the musician often collaborates with fashion brands, acting as a model.

Dranga is a regular guest on TV. In 2007 Peter took part in the show "Dancing on Ice". His partner was Oksana Grischuk, they took 3rd place. In 2015, Dranga became a member of the "Just the same" program. He had to reincarnate as Valery Meladze, Enrique Iglesias, Eminem, Justin Timberlake and others.

In 2016, the accordionist pleased fans with two new albums at once - "Perspective" and "Gulf Stream". In their support, he gave concerts in large cities of Russia. It is noteworthy that Dranga both plays and sings at the performances. Some songs such as "Make mewanna stay" and "Tango" become hits. Later, clips were shot for these songs.

Peter's personal life is a mystery covered in darkness, which is discussed by all and sundry. Photos of the musician in the company of attractive women constantly appear on the Web.

For a long time, there were rumors about the accordionist's romance with the TV presenter and former athlete Lyaysan Utyasheva. Then they were secretly married by the yellow press. At this time, Dranga was on tour in Latvia and was extremely surprised by calls from journalists. He denied this information, saying that they were just friends with Laysan.

He was credited with an affair with the sex diva Anfisa Chekhova. But this turned out to be a fiction.

In 2010, the musician appeared at the Moscow International Film Festival with actress Oksana Kutuzova. They had been seen together in public before, but then Dranga said that they were just friends. On the red carpet, he also did not give an unambiguous answer, telling reporters that they had a relationship, but which ones are friendly and loving, this is their business with Oksana.

In the same year, the media reported that Peter was dating a girl Nastya, far from show business. The artist himself did not comment on this in any way. But unexpectedly for the fans, information appeared on the Wikipedia page that he married in 2014 a certain Alina Gaffarova. Soon the message was deleted, but this gave rise to a new wave of rumors in the media.

And this time he also decided to keep silent. Apparently, the artist is simply tired and misses such "stuffing", because he is "married" almost twice a year.

There are no hints of family life on his Instagram. Sometimes there are photos with a little boy, but this is a nephew, not a son, as everyone thinks. One way or another, Dranga has not made any official statements that he has a wife and children. He tries not to advertise his personal life, but he does not always succeed.

Of course, there is enough in the life of the accordionist and haters, who have long included him in the lists of men with non-traditional sexual orientation. They do not understand how such a handsome handsome man (height 180, weight - about 72 kg) cannot find a girlfriend. But, again, there is no evidence for this. Another gossip that has no foundation.

Today, Peter remains an enviable groom and leads a bachelor lifestyle.

In October 2017, the artist got into an unpleasant situation. He had to explain to the police about the incident that happened in his apartment. The body of a man was found there. The musician handed over this "odnushka". True, in view of her employment, all issues related to rent were dealt with by Peter's mother. Bodybuilder Vadim lived in the apartment. After opening the doors, his lifeless body was found.

The cause of death was acute cardiovascular failure. Law enforcement agencies found a huge amount of sports drugs in the apartment. All cupboards were filled with them. According to friends, Vadim could not live without stimulants and took them in handfuls.

Experts have established that at the time of the discovery, Vadim had already been dead for 8 days. Petr Dranga and his mother decided to postpone the search for new tenants. The dwelling requires major repairs, even the employees of the cleaning company failed to rid the dwelling of the terrible smell of decomposition and characteristic stains.

In December 2017, Peter released another album, Part One with Orchestra, in which he presented the listener with one of his musical experiments in the form of covers of popular compositions.

Today Peter Dranga is not only a musician, but also a producer. Dranga Music Company actively promotes young singers and musicians. For example, rapper Z Johnny is his charge. They even made a joint track with Timbaland, which hit the top ten on the Billboard chart. Dranga also worked with Pharrell Williams - Peter created beatbox with accordion in his composition "Freedom".

In March 2018, the artist performed at the anniversary concert of Tamara Gverdtsiteli, they sang the song "Padam ..." together. The musician continues to write new music and give concerts. His tour is already scheduled for 2019.
