Biography of Irina Tyurina
Irina was born in the town of Barabinsk, Novosibirsk Region, in April 1972. The girl’s mom was engaged in housekeeping and children, dad worked on the railway. The girl began to show her artistic talent and vocal data from the age of 3 years. She used her grandmother as a scene - climbed onto her knees and sang. The baby’s repertoire included exclusively Ukrainian folk songs, those that she heard from her mother and grandmother. Over the years, she began to show interest not only in vocals, but also in musical instruments. Uncle, a nugget who knew how to handle any instrument, taught her to play.
Irina was talented in everything related to music. A music school, or rather a piano class, she forced to externally. But outwardly she did not reach the star - she stooped, dressed in what would fall under the arm. A music teacher has repeatedly pointed this out to her, but the girl was far from the world of beauty. Awareness of her own attractiveness and taste came to her much later, when she was already studying at the Novosibirsk Music College.
Musical career of Irina Tyurina (Nelson)
At the time of college, Irina discovered a new musical and vocal direction - the girl became interested in jazz, even created her own team, but very quickly “grew” out of its framework. In 1991, she became a participant in the Yalta contest, took 1st place there and received an offer from collaboration with the then-famous composer Vyacheslav Tyurin. It not only laid the foundation for her professional career, but also radically changed her personal life.
A year later, an ordinary girl from Novosibirsk turned into the singer "Diana", released her first solo album, followed by 6 more.
Tyurin allowed Irina to develop not only in Russia but also abroad. She went on tour to Cannes, often performed in Germany, where she even got married. At that time, she was lucky to perform on the same stage and work closely with DJ Bobo, Dieter Bohlen and other European stars.
In 1999, Irina again made an attempt to create her own musical group. So on the Russian stage appeared the group "Reflex". The project existed for almost 8 years, was unusually popular, often toured Europe. But in 2007, its founder decides to start a solo career. The group lasted another 2 years, then the popularity gradually decreased, since Irina spent little time on her brainchild.
Now the singer Irina Tyurina (Nelson) is more involved in projects related to health, but she does not forget about her vocal career either. Irina writes songs, often abroad, performs in national concerts, even traveled with her colleagues to the Donbass, for which she received an award from the hands of the President of the Russian Federation.
