But there was such excitement, and suddenly the music began to play, they shouted to us: “Open it!”. They opened their eyes. We go into the church, and the music from the movie "The Great Beauty" sounds there. We walk along the path of burning candles. It's so beautiful, like we were right in the middle of some movie. Time is frozen. During the wedding, it was not cold at all. You didn't feel your body, it's something amazing.

IOWA is a group from Belarus. It became popular with a new and unique style, a quirky mixture of jazz, pop and R&B, which was soon nicknamed indie pop. At the very beginning of her career, the group's vocalist Ekaterina Ivanchikova, choosing her style, experimented with heavy music, during which she received the nickname Iowa.
Loyal and attentive fans of the singer put forward their own version of the origin of the name of the group, they say it comes from the American idiom IOWA (to wander around). Also, the name is directly related to the state in North America Iowa, where most people are farmers, all the shops close early, so the people who live there have no choice but to hang around and look for entertainment elsewhere.
The group has a simple composition - guitarist, soloist, drummer.
guitar player Leonid Tereshchenko studied at the Moscow State Musical College named after Rimsky-Korsakov. I would love to play a duet with the outstanding guitarist Al Di Meola. He is also proud that his dreams come true every day: "As the saying goes, if you don't want to work your whole life, do what you love!"
Leonid organized his first "solo" concerts as a child. “When I was sitting on the floor, holding on to brooms and loudly singing the hit “Stallions' Apples,” my mother immediately realized that she had to do something about it,” Tereshchenko laughs. As a child, he was nicknamed The White, but still doesn't know why.
One of family traditions Leonida - drinking tea from very large mugs. He listens and loves absolutely different music: "The main thing is professional performance, personal contact of the stage image, voice and sincerity." Leonid believes that simplicity is the mother of health, so he tries to live every day “like the last”, because the main thing is to be yourself.
He would be happy to attend a concert music XVII century, and listen to the works of Bach performed by the author. “Competition has always meant a great experience! I look forward to unique emotions, meetings and atmosphere! This is the step I want to take! New experience and development. I wish all the finalists to be themselves! »
Vasily Bulatov- band drummer He took part in competitions where the first prizes were performances along with famous artists. Vasily devotes all his free time learning the basics of sound engineering. Enjoys swimming. He admits that he would gladly sing a duet with A. Levin (lead singer of the Maroon 5 group) or accompany him as a drummer instead of M. Flint.
Bulanov wants to visit the place where Michael Jackson is buried, ride a really big yacht and go diving. He is proud that his mother is pleased with him. At the age of 15, Vasily asked his mother to buy him a guitar, this was the first step into the world of music.
"After a while I changed the guitar and sat down at drum set”, the musician laughs. His favorite holiday is Victory Day. As a child, he had the nickname Red. "I imagined that I was singing and playing in front of a million people, it gave me a real high."
Bulanov is fond of the history of the period of Peter the Great.
Ekaterina Ivanchikova studied in Belarus state university named after M. Tank (its main subject is the philology of the Belarusian language, journalism).
Ekaterina - finalist television project"Star Stagecoach", "Stairway to Heaven" (Belarus). She loves to draw very much. Ekaterina is now happy to combine leisure and work: “These are our road tours in Russian cities with the IOWA group.
Each distant corner of Russia has its own unique cuisine and traditions! You work, play, and fill in gaps in your geography course." Prefers Vivienne Westwood's bold clothing style, as well as a combination of retro and modern. “When I was five years old, I announced to everyone that I wanted to become a singer. After a few years, the family got used to this information.”
She loves different music, regardless of genres and directions: “The important thing is that it must be professional, sincere and creative. I love the style of the Lady of the Throne, her way of presenting. Or the complete opposite of this music: "Guano Apes". Her favorite holiday New Year: “The New Year is a kind of holiday only it's for the soul, not for the body. If something goes wrong, there is always a chance to start over.” She doesn't believe in omens, she believes in God.
Back in 2008, vocalist Ekaterina Ivanchikova sang in the musical The Prophet Ilya Oleinikov. And in 2009, the IOWA group was formed in Mogilev. AT music world hit in 2009, after a series of successful concerts in St. Petersburg.
As a result, they settled there on a permanent basis, where the members and producer of the group Oleg Baranov still live today. Continue to gain popularity, a huge audience at concerts and millions of views on music videos. In March 2012, she became a member of the popular TV show "Red Star" at the first.
