More recently, a new star appeared in the horizon of Ukrainian show business - the Belarusian artist Yevgeny Litvinkovich. His popularity came to him thanks to his participation in the Ukrainian version of the X-Factor show, where he took second place. Prior to this, Yevgeny Litvinkovich unsuccessfully tried to pave the way for glory in his homeland. Purposefulness, faith in oneself, optimism and, undoubtedly, talent did their job - Zhenya achieved his goal. He now has millions of fans across the CIS. About how Evgeni Litvinkovich lived and what he did when no one knew about him, read the article.
Childhood and youth
The future artist was born in a small Belarusian town called Zhordino on November 4 in 1982. His parents were simple workers and had nothing to do with the world of music. Father - Litvinkovich Mikhail Evgenievich - worked as a shoe repair master, and mother - Litvinkovich Nadezhda Mikhailovna - as a photographer. Eugene's father passed away early, and his older sister took an active part in his upbringing.
At seven, the boy went to an educational institution with a choreographic bias. And at ten he joined the ranks of students of the art school. Zhenya did not forget about sports - he was engaged in judo, sambo and even became a candidate for master of sports.
Having received secondary education, he entered the Art and Restoration School, but did not finish it, as he was engaged in entrepreneurial activity. First he sold glasses and gloves on the market, then went to discotheques, and later opened a small cafe called "At Zheka", where he himself prepared, took orders, and cleaned and entertained customers.
First love
Evgeni Litvinkovich did not feel much craving for music until he fell in love. It so happened that in 2002, he took a job as a sound engineer in the Zhordinsky House of Culture "Rovesnik", provided musical accompaniment for the rehearsals of the Silver Trill collective. One of the soloists of the vocal ensemble sunk deep into the soul of a young guy. He could neither eat nor sleep, but the girl paid no attention to him. Then Eugene decided to take up singing in order to make a favorite impression. Soon, he not only learned to sing, but also became one of the soloists of the Silver Trill. So first love opened for Eugene the main passion in life - music.
Music career
Little Jack - such a stage name was invented for himself by Eugene Litvinkovich. The artist’s biography indicates that he could not achieve significant success in his native Belarus - he was a star, but only of a local scale. And he wanted more, he dreamed of a big stage, of applause, of recognition. Therefore, he decided that he would take part in all possible music competitions.
First in his life there was a project “Musical Court”, then a competition “Academy of Talents”, but they did not bring the desired result to the singer. It was necessary to look for another way, and he found it.
Step towards your dream
In 2012, a Belarusian artist came to Ukraine to participate in the show “Ukraine May Talent”. Zhenya managed to reach the finals, be remembered by the judges and find his fans among the audience. Successful Ukrainian producer Igor Kondratyuk advised Eugene to come to another show, vocal.
True Success: The X Factor
Evgeni Litvinkovich not only passed the casting of the show, reached his finals, but also had every chance of winning. He did not have quite a few votes of viewers to get ahead of Aida Nikolaychuk and win the main prize. Nevertheless, such a defeat did not upset the aspiring artist at all, but gave him an incentive to move on, develop and work with even greater perseverance and zeal.
Solo career
After the show, Eugene signed a five-year contract with STB and began a solo career. Already released his first album entitled "Signs of the Zodiac" and the first tour took place in the cities of Ukraine. Everywhere the artist was waiting for a stunning success and thousands of fans. It should be noted that Eugene himself writes both music and words to almost all of his compositions. This indicates the undoubted talent of a young guy.
According to the results of 2013, Litvinkovich was recognized as “Breakthrough of the Year” according to the TV show “The Whole Truth About the Stars”, broadcast on the Ukrainian channel STB.
In December 2013, Eugene tried his hand at the National selection of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The singer went to the finals and took eighth place. Given the fact that there were twenty participants, this is a very good result.
Evgeny Litvinkovich: personal life
He does not like to talk about what happens to the artist behind the scenes. But journalists - cunning people - were able to find out some facts from the singer's life. Eugene had to comment on rumors about his gay orientation that were widely circulated by the media. The artist made it clear that in his personal life everything is fine, he, as laid down by nature, loves women. His current life partner, Yulia Yagleyko, a blond girl from Belarus, is also engaged in vocals, but she is still afraid to try her hand at the big stage.
