Creativity is always a search. Many musicians are in it throughout their career, trying to find a new sound, find for themselves the most suitable direction. Popular pop singer Irina Kolba tried herself in different directions, but still remained beloved by many Muscovites. Perhaps the fact is that all her compositions are optimistic.
Carier start
At the very beginning of the journey, the singer, nee Moxvich, did not differ at all from other performers. She was attracted to music since childhood, so her parents sent her to a music school. After her graduation, Irina Kolba went to private vocal lessons, where the teacher finally revealed her talent. The knowledge gained in the classroom was enough to form your own repertoire.
She decided that she would only sing songs of her own composition, so she sat down to work. The first album formed quickly. For him, sketches that were prepared by the singer were used. The main theme of her songs was love. The first collection of his own songs, entitled "It's just love ..." glorified Irina throughout the Moscow region.
Co-authorship with Vladimir Benediktov
Soon all of Moscow found out who Irina Kolba was. Her biography always remained in the shade. On the singer’s personal page in one of the popular social networks, there is no information about the girl’s parents or spouse. She does not attend talk shows that are not related to her musical career, and does not upload photos from family holidays.
Only once did fans suspect Irina of a love affair when she introduced the public to her co-author, Vladimir Benediktov, who is her best friend. Vladimir is a talented translator and poet. He perfectly complements Irina in terms of creativity. Many of the compositions that they wrote for the third album, “Everything will be like in a fairy tale”, received rotation throughout Russia.
Why did the singer refuse the services of a producer
Irina Kolba often answers one question: why doesn’t she work for a large production agency? Indeed, thanks to her talent, the singer could take a worthy place among the stars of Russian pop music. Many of the doors that are now closed to the singer would easily open after signing a contract with the producer.
In many interviews, singer Irina Kolba explained her refusal simply - she does not want to be bound by obligations. Creativity for her is first of all free flight. Most of all, the girl is afraid that the producer will impose on her the performance of other people's songs, not close in spirit. Now her repertoire consists of compositions that are diverse in style and direction, but each of them is dear to the singer and hides a part of her soul in herself.
City holidays
Most often, Irina Kolba performs at city festivals held in Moscow and the cities of the region. Every year she is invited to concerts dedicated to major holidays, which are held on the Theater Square of the capital. This is the best place to get acquainted with the work of the performer, since there was not a single year before she went on stage. The first big concert was dedicated to the anniversary of Moscow and took place in 2007. By that time, the singer had already released her first albums.
She actively collaborates with the Moscow “Moscow Komsomolets” and regularly attends concerts of Russian pop stars, which this publication arranges. At the very beginning of her career, she visited the Manege, where the anniversary of the Russian press was celebrated (in 2003, the country's print media celebrated their 300th anniversary). At this event, the girl was noticed and invited to other concerts. The most active year was 2006, when she worked at the opening of the Moscow Premiere Film Festival and at the anniversary of the Luzhniki Sports Complex.
In 2017, the girl continued to perform at the venues of the capital and the region. At the end of February, she visited Sergiev Posad, where she performed her national hit “Sky in a Strip” at the Pancake Week.
Albums and songs
To date, the singer has only 3 albums. The first came out with a small gap - in 2003 and 2006. They helped the singer become famous and collect the first solo program. The third came out with an eight-year break - in 2014. It included a variety of songs, including a children's hit, which in 2013 sounded in one of the New Year’s issues of “Field of Miracles”. The songs of Irina Kolba for children were written by her for her nephew. In the third album, she included only those tracks for young listeners, which he approved.
In February 2017, in the club “Obraz”, Irina presented the next program “Love is a magical country”. It collected new songs from the upcoming album, as well as hits from the collection "That Girl, Probably." She is not a rare guest in the clubs of the capital. In them, she makes presentations of her videos, which collect hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. One of the singer’s achievements was the placement of her video on the Chanson TV channel (on YouTube), in which she talked about what the country sings about.
