The winner of many Russian charts, the performer of well-known hits called “Baby” and “Moscow Night”, and today remains a mystery to the entire Russian public. In our article we will try to tell all about the life of Danko.
Singer Danko. Birth and childhood
The real name of the Russian artist is Alexander Fadeev. The future singer was born on March 20, 1969 in Moscow. Mom - Danko Elena Ilyinskaya - a vocal teacher, and father - Valery Fadeev - a famous Russian scientist-physicist.
From early childhood, the boy wanted to sing on the big stage.
Not without the help of his famous mother, Sasha at the age of 5 became the soloist of the local choir. After 6 years, the boy continued his studies at the Bolshoi Theater choreographic school.
In 1988, Alexander becomes a member of the Bolshoi Theater troupe and at the same time attends classes of famous Russian teachers.
Thanks to his perseverance and determination, the future singer gets the main roles in popular performances. But this is not enough. Somewhere deep down, a young man dreams of becoming a famous pop singer.
Carier start
Danko began from afar and began to attend the creative evenings of his stepfather Alexander Sukhanov, where he was given the soloist position. One of these evenings, Moscow producer Leonid Gudkin approached him and offered to make an artist's career.
Already in 1999, Danko (singer) pleased the audience with his first hit entitled “Moscow Night”. The song instantly became the leader of all domestic charts.
Peak career
In 2000, Danko released his first album, Danko 2000. This period was significant for the singer. He became one of the most popular and favorite performers of the audience.
This was followed by numerous concerts, rehearsals, tours and photo shoots. After a while, several more hits pleased Danko fans. The singer sang the songs “Baby”, “Do it once, do two”, “The first snow of December”.
In 2000, the artist graduated from GITIS, where he studied producer craft. In the same year, he signed contracts with well-known advertising agencies, and now his face was decorated with capital posters of brands such as Naf Naf, Hugo Boss, Diesel, etc.
By 2004, Danko (singer), whose songs at that time became real hits, released 2 more albums - “When a Man is in Love” and “Don Juan De Luxe”.
The fall
Between 2005 and 2009 Danko released several more songs that did not bring the expected result. But this did not stop the singer. Danko began to play in the Moscow theater "Bridge", where he soon appeared before the audience in a new image - the actor of the musical "Mata Hari".
New attempts
It should be noted that Danko managed to act in films, playing one of the main roles in the film called "Moscow Gigantic". But this did not bring the singer due satisfaction, and he once and for all ended his film career.
In 2009, the singer made a new attempt and released the collection "Best Songs" and "Album No. 5". Unfortunately, neither the audience nor the critics appreciated the work of Danko.
Danko's personal life
The singer was in a relationship with Tatyana Vorobyova, but the couple broke up after 3 years, and did not have time to enter into a legal marriage.
In 2003, it became known that the Russian model Natalya Ustimenko was expecting a child from the singer. Daughter Sonya was born healthy, despite a difficult birth. In 2014, Danko appeared on the broadcast of the First Channel “Let them Talk”, where he shared with all of Russia his terrible tragedy that happened to him recently.
On the eve of Easter holidays, Natalia suddenly started bleeding in the late pregnancy. Doctors made a terrible diagnosis to a born child - cerebral palsy, numerous brain injuries and advised to leave the girl in a maternity hospital (Danko's mother still holds the same opinion). The singer, whose personal life from this moment became the public domain, decided not to abandon the child. In this he was supported by many, including Russian stars, experiencing the same tragedy in their lives.
According to Danko (the singer is not discouraged), his daughter, despite a difficult diagnosis, lives and enjoys despite a terrible disease.
By the way, rumors have been circulating for a long time that the couple decided to take the girl abroad for treatment. Many support them in this.
The children of singer Danko remain for him the most dear and beloved. “I will never leave my girls in a difficult situation for them and will come to the rescue as soon as they need my help,” the artist says. So we wish Danko and his family good luck in this difficult life situation!
