Every young man heard about the IOWA group. She gained popularity in Russia due to the use of individual tracks in popular TV shows and sitcoms. Few people know that Leonid Tereshchenko is the author of music for many hits. He also engaged in their arrangement. Like other members of the group, Leonid hails from Belarus, but now spends most of his time on tour across immense Russia.
Life before joining a group
Leonid Tereshchenko loved music from early childhood. He in a preschool age pretended to perform from the stage. After his mother found him in such an occupation, she decided to send him to a music school. Leonid received a complete musical education, graduating from the Mogilev Conservatory. Then he was offered a tour in America, but because of the difficulties with obtaining a visa, the young man had to abandon this venture.
Almost immediately, the young man was offered to work in the production center, where he arranged songs for Belarusian pop stars. Leonid Tereshchenko himself believes that it was this work that gave him the most necessary experience, thanks to which he achieved popularity now. However, he has several victories at prestigious competitions of performers, which he won during his studies. All together allowed Leonid to become an excellent composer.
Why iowa
In 2009, IOWA appeared. Its name is explained in different ways. Someone connects him with the
state of Iowa, which Leonid Tereshchenko never visited, others consider these words to be an abbreviation, slang expression of American teenagers and the nickname of the soloist Catherine. Even the musicians themselves give different definitions to their name.
It was Leonid who brought popularity to the group, because he created music that combines R&B, pop and jazz. Soon, the new direction created by Leonid was given the fresh name indie pop. Today, a large number of bands are trying to imitate this group, but so far none of the young performers have managed to beat their hits in popularity.
What principles does Leonid adhere to?
Many do not even know that the “gray cardinal” of the IOWA group is Leonid Tereshchenko. His biography is for the most part a secret, since he does not like to flaunt his personal life. According to the musician, fans should discuss his work.
A more willing young man shares his life credos. Basically, they say that you need to love your job and be easier. Leonid was very pleased to know that part of the famous pop stars shared his views and tried not to advertise his personal life, and the stage artists, for the most part, were friendly with young performers.
Personal life of a musician
Despite the fact that for the most part information about what kind of person Leonid Tereshchenko is closed, the personal life of the musician in the fall of 2015 ceased to be a secret behind seven seals. In October, the press published photos from the wedding of Leonid and the soloist of the group Catherine. Many attributed the couple a novel, but young people for the most part laughed off this topic.
As it turned out, Katya and Leonid lived together for a long time, they simply did not advertise their relationship. Sympathy between them arose at the first stages of work in the group. Later they came together, but for many years hid their relationship, because they did not want their discussion all over. A close friend of Katie said that in the eyes of loved ones they had long been husband and wife, so entering into an official marriage was a matter of time. Even before the wedding, the press knew that the girl was going down the aisle. The media actively discussed her dress and plans for a honeymoon, but the ceremony itself was missed. They learned about it after the fact thanks to the singer’s page on a social network.
