David Manukyan, who is known to the public under the stage name DAVA, is a Russian rap artist, video blogger and showman. He gained popularity thanks to provocative videos and daring practical jokes on the verge of a foul.
Manukyan has a great sense of humor and charisma. It was these qualities that allowed David to occupy his niche in show business. It is interesting that initially the young man was predicted to have a brilliant career as a dancer.
From the biography of David Manukyan, it is known that the guy has been professionally engaged in choreography since childhood. He was a frequent participant in city and regional dance competitions. Choreography classes had a positive effect on his figure.
Childhood and youth of David Manukyan
David Manukyan was born on March 16, 1993 in provincial Novosibirsk. From the age of 3, the boy began to attend a dance club. David was one of the brightest children in his group.
The guy was not brought up in the poorest family. It is known that the father of the celebrity, Ashot Manukyan, is a big businessman. The mother never needed money, so she devoted her life to raising children.
By the end of high school, David's achievements included: the title of "Master of Sports", the title of "Vice-World Champion in ballroom dancing", the title of "Champion of the Russian Federation" and the title of "Champion of Novosibirsk".
After graduating from high school, David became a student at the Siberian University of Management. At this stage, he decided to finally leave his career as a dancer.
According to the online edition of Dance Sport, in 2011 the future Instagram star stopped participating in competitions in the status of a master of sports. The guy began to have serious problems with his spine, which put an end to his career as a dancer. Later, David came in handy with his choreographic skills for filming commercials.
David has had an entrepreneurial streak since childhood. After graduating from high school, he opened his own business selling vehicle accessories. But, alas, this case soon had to be closed. It did not give the expected income.
The creative path of David Manukyan
The path to David's popularity began in 2017. It was then that the guy left the province and moved to the territory of Moscow. Manukyan created his first YouTube channel. The video blogger made videos on topical issues.
David's first videos gained few views. The audience grew, but slowly. This situation did not suit Manukyan at all, who wanted everything at once.
Soon everything turned upside down. David met the outrageous blogger Karina Lazaryants (Kara Kross), and things got off the ground. Young people began to shoot joint vines - short humorous videos. Basically, joint videos were a provocation to society. But it was precisely this approach that attracted attention to the little-known Manukyan. The number of David's followers began to increase exponentially.
The beginning of the singing career of the singer DAVA
2018 was a year of creative experiments for the video blogger. David decided to try himself as a singer. Together with Karina, the blogger released two songs. We are talking about the tracks "INSIDE" and XXX. A video was later released for the last song. The compositions scored a significant number of positive reviews, and also took the 1st position in VKontakte.
A year later, David founded another YouTube channel. His page was called DAVA by analogy with the creative pseudonym. To attract the audience, Manukyan announced a personal contest. As a result of the draw, the star gave the keys to the car to the winner.
The popularity of the artist has increased. In just six months, about 700 thousand users signed up for the celebrity. In addition, the blogger, together with Kara Kross, began filming humorous interviews with hosts, judges and participants in the Songs show.
Personal life of David Manukyan
Until recently, DAVA tried not to talk about his personal life. However, the press became aware that before popularity, the guy met with the dancer Anastasia Malysheva.
However, this relationship soon ended. The girl constantly arranged scenes of jealousy for David. Against this background, Manukyan and Anastasia suffered an emotional burnout. Young people felt that it was better for them to leave.
"Fans" paid attention to the relationship between Manukyan and Lazaryants. They said that they are far from working. However, celebrities tried to ignore the gossip.
In 2019, journalists began to publish articles that David was dating Olga Buzova. He even starred in the video of the Russian star for the track "Liker". According to the plot of the video clip, love arises between the main characters. There was even a bed scene in the video.
After shooting the video, David continued to communicate closely with Olga Buzova. The TV personality increasingly appeared on her friend's TikTok. Soon, young people got the same tattoos, which finally confirmed the information regarding love relationships.
DAVA and Olga Buzova
At one of the concerts of Olga Buzova, the singer took a break right on stage. The performer announced into the microphone that her loved one was present at the concert. And he will soon become her husband. After some time, Olga officially confirmed the information that she was dating David. The couple lives together.
Olga Buzova commented that David impressed her heart with his perseverance. After filming the Liker video, Buzova flew off to film the Plan B show. David said that he had a strong sympathy for Olga, and he was ready to wait for her, no matter how much time it took him. Olga did not take such words seriously.
But what was the singer's surprise when she flew in from the shooting and saw David in a sophisticated classic suit with a huge bouquet of flowers in her hands. The man kept his word.
Soon the young people started dating. Manukyan does not hide that he covers all the financial expenses of Buzova. David is convinced that he must correspond to a girl of such a level as Olga, so he is ready to fulfill all the whims of a star.
We've already talked about marriage. Olga says that she will not insist on marriage if she does not see the initiative from her partner.
