Cornelia Mango, one of the brightest graduates of the once popular TV show on Channel One, continues to delight her fans to this day and is not going to leave the star Olympus.
Singer's childhood
April 24, 1986, the future star of the Russian show business Cornelia Donato Mango was born. She was born in Astrakhan, her father was a student from Lisbon Donato Mango, and her mother was a nurse Dilyara Bekbulatova.
After receiving the diploma, Donato was forced to return to his homeland in Portugal, although he called Dilyara with him. However, the girl refused to give up everything - family, career and friends. She stayed to live in Russia and bring up little Cornelia. Father, after some time, married in his homeland and soon Cornelia appeared stepbrother and sister. Mom also gave Cornelia a brother of Nariman, who in the future connected his profession with directing, entering the VGIK.
A small child with dark skin and short black hair, with a wonderful surname Mango was not deprived of attention at school. However, the girl was closed and did not succumb to contact and provocation. She even had thoughts that she was taken from the orphanage to her family.
But the teenage period made adjustments to the nature and behavior of Cornelia. She began to pay attention to painting, and from music she preferred to listen to rap artists. This style was reflected in her clothes - sports sets, wide pants, men's shirts.
After fifteen years, the girl began to move more away from the "boy" style in clothes and spend more time on her femininity and bright colors.
In her adulthood, she finally saw her father live, having arrived in Portugal. Acquaintance with the second half of the family had a positive effect on the state of Cornelia. She received a lot of attention from her father's family, was imbued with his culture, and even adopted it into her clothing style.
Upon arrival to her homeland, the girl decided after leaving the art school to go to Moscow, which attracted her with her paints. The problem with work and money disappeared rapidly at one time, when in one of the clubs in the capital, an art manager invited the girl to undergo a casting for the role of a dancer. However, during the viewing, Cornelia demonstrated her vocal abilities, after which she instantly became a club resident and worked almost every evening as a singer, not forgetting about her dancing skills.
Factory life
Cornelia got to the "Factory of Stars-7" thanks to her mother, who advised her daughter to go to the casting. At first, the future star doubted, and then finally decided and successfully passed all the tests proposed by the producers. After them, Cornelia with the other contenders for first place moved into the Star House and began to take part in reporting concerts.
It was on the project itself that the girl began a semi-serious relationship with the oldest member of the Factory, Mark Tishman. At one time, they even played a comic wedding on a television project. However, after all the musical tests, losing in the final to Anastasia Prikhodko and the two groups “Yin-Yang” and “BiS”, the couple broke up.
After the project and the tour, Cornelia Mango began to appear with enviable frequency in many shows with television stars. She successfully and cheerfully passed the tests in the projects "The Last Hero", "Big Race", "Cruel Intentions", "Dandy Shows", "Dancing with the Stars", etc.
The singer cannot be seen on huge venues in Moscow and Russia, she works in small clubs, concert halls with orchestras and at parties. Performs compositions in the style of "Soul" and "R'n'B". Also records and releases singles and duets. In addition, she does not forget about her artistic education and regularly organizes exhibitions of her paintings in Moscow, Astrakhan and Lisbon - in the three cities that have become her relatives.
Personal life
After the television novel, Cornelia connected her life with the VJ Ivan Traore, whom she met at Eurovision 2009. At one time they lived under one roof, but soon parted. For some period of time they kept in touch, but the destroyed boat, which crashed into everyday life, could not be repaired.
On the show "I can!" the singer met the twenty-year-old beatboxer Bogdan Durdem and they began a romance that continues to this day. The couple is not embarrassed by the age gap of eight years. Bogdan took his girlfriend to the Crimea, where he introduced his parents and made a romantic marriage proposal. In 2016, young people got married and continued to build their personal lives.
Cornelia is an active user of the social network Instagram, where he pleases his fans with new pictures and works, and also gives rise to rumors. For almost two years, subscribers discussed the singer’s pregnancy after publishing a photograph of a little dark-skinned girl, but Cornelia quickly lost weight and reduced talk about the baby to nothing. For some time, the subject of conversation was the repair in the apartment of Bogdan and Cornelia, and then she again surprised her fans with a parody of Olga Buzova’s clip “Little Half, ” specially for which she even changed her hairdo.
In addition to his main activities, Cornelia Mango teaches step aerobics, rollerblading, skiing and is interested in windsurfing.
