Singer In-Grid (real full name - Ingrid Alberini) wrote one of the brightest pages in the history of popular music.
The birthplace of this talented performer is the Italian city of Guastalla (Emilia-Romagna region). Her father really liked the actress Ingrid Bergman, so he named his daughter in her honor.
In-Grid's parents were and continue to be owners of their own cinema. It is natural that the childhood and youth of the future singer were spent watching numerous favorite films.
Cinematography became decisive for the choice of the girl's further path, which in one way or another had to be connected with art.
The singer, talking about her childhood, recalls that the films aroused in her a special thrill and desire to share her strong feelings with people. In many ways, these emotions determined the future profession.
In addition to cinema, young In-Grid was fond of drawing and singing, which largely shaped her personality. Later, as the most striking way of self-expression, she nevertheless chose music.
When the time came to finally decide and choose a future profession, In-Grid decided without any hesitation to become a composer and arranger.
The beginning of In-Grid's musical career
In the 1990s of the last century, the competition of musical performers "Voice of San Remo" was popular in Italy. In-Grid was lucky not only to participate in it, but also easily win the main prize of this prestigious song festival.
Critics of those years wrote about her as the owner of the sexiest voice among all the young singers in Italy over the past few years.
Having won without much effort in Sanremo, In-Grid received numerous invitations to social events, meetings and other events.
In her native Italy, she was often mistaken for a Frenchwoman due to her virtuoso performance of French chanson songs.
Worldwide recognition In-Grid
10 years after the start of creative activity, In-Grid has received worldwide recognition and fame. A personal tragedy prompted her to write one of the most soulful songs, which was noticed by two famous producers.
Lari Pinanolli and Marco Soncini took the young talent under their wing, resulting in the successful debut of the singer with the composition Tu Es Foutu.
The song quickly became a European hit and even reached music connoisseurs in Russia. For a while, the single occupied the leading positions of all the leading charts.
A significant role was given to In-Grid by the knowledge of several European languages, as well as the ability not only to express thoughts in them, but also to sing. Now the singer sings in English and French much more often than in her native Italian.
One of the musicians (a member of the In-Grid group) said that some compositions, in terms of their emotional and content content, simply should be performed in French, others in English.
The uniqueness and originality of the singer's talent lies in the ease of choosing a language for a particular song. Another indisputable advantage of the singer is the combination of the roles of the writer, performer and arranger.
The singer, commenting on this fact, says that it is very important for her to sing to her own music and touch the spiritual “strings” of specific people, instead of working for the masses.
Since childhood, In-Grid has been surrounded by the world of beautiful melodies, which she strives to share with her listeners from heart to heart.
Today, the performer has recorded 6 discs on her account, which have repeatedly awarded the status of gold and platinum records around the world.
Personal life of the singer
When describing the biography of a celebrity, it is customary to pay special attention to the personal life of a star. However, in the case of In-Grid, according to her, she simply does not have a personal life!
Fragmentary information about the numerous love dramas that the singer experienced in her youth comes to us from the past.
Now the singer is not interested in men and is not looking for their attention. True pleasure brings her endless love for music and various travels.
Despite this, the performer plans to get married someday. In the meantime, she dreams of writing music for some good film, as well as simple human joys - to have more free time, relax and enjoy life.
Hobbies Ingrid Alberini off stage
Despite endless touring, In-Grid develops a love for pets. Decorative rabbits, two dogs and as many as thirteen cats live in her house, in whose company she loves to spend time in a cozy easy chair!
Often musicians seem to us to be a little limited people, living in their own fictional world, limited by the scope of their creative fantasies. In-Grid broke all the stereotypes here too.
In addition to music, she became seriously interested in philosophy and psychoanalysis. So seriously that she recently defended her dissertation and became the owner of a PhD degree in these sciences.
As already mentioned, the singer easily speaks and sings in several European languages, including French, German, Italian, English and, attention ... Russian!
In-Grid is a fan of Edita Piekha, she even recorded a cover version of her song "Our Neighbor".
Another feature of the singer's life is the absence of scandals with her participation, which would be "inflated" in the press. The only thing that journalists do not stop writing and talking about is her charming voice and songs that touch the soul.
