Childhood and youth of Irina Bilyk
Irina Bilyk was born into an intelligent Ukrainian family in 1970. Kyiv is considered her homeland. Ira's mom and dad were far from music, but they always encouraged their daughter to love creativity and music.
At family holidays, Irina Bilyk was put on a chair. She performed various musical compositions. Parents represented Ira as a people's artist.
This impressed the girl very much, and motivated her to go towards her goal. Little Ira dreamed of becoming a singer.
At the age of 5, parents enrolled Ira in a dance school, and then in a choir. Soon, little Bilyk will become part of the "Solnyshko" ensemble.
But the girl's talents did not end there. She attended a drama club, where she impressed the teachers with her acting skills.

Mom and dad encouraged their daughter's hobbies. Parents believed that you couldn’t imagine better classes than music for their daughter. Bilyk looked very harmonious on the stage.
In addition, the girl was able to stand out from the rest of the artists. Her performances were always accompanied by some kind of zest.
Creative career of Irina Bilyk
The first step that helped the singer win the popularity of the audience was participation in the Chervona Ruta music festival. The festival was held on the territory of Chernivtsi in 1989.
For Bilyk, participation in the show was a breath of fresh air, since the girl did not perform on stage for a long time.
At the festival in the same 1989, Irina met talented musicians from the Ajax group, who invited Irina to the new project Tsey Dosch Forever. Participation in this musical group made Irina a real pop singer.
In 1991, the musical group signed a contract with Rostislav Show. After that, the musicians start recording a new album.
A few months later, the musicians will present their first "serious" video clip, which was called "Less Yours". The fame of the team grew exponentially, primarily due to the image and voice of Irina.

In 1996, Irina opens the Tauride Games. Not without incidents. When Bilyk began to sing, the whole audience began to laugh for some reason. This caused outrage among the artist, who sincerely did not understand the reason for this behavior of the audience.
Moreover, the performance of the Ukrainian singer was broadcast live.
After the performance, Irina was told what made the audience laugh so much. The fact is that when the singer began to sing, a dog ran out onto the stage, which simply sat on the stage and sat there until Irina finished singing.
This made the performer very happy. In addition, in 1996 Irina Bilyk became an Honored Artist of Ukraine.

This union was doomed, since Irina ceased to have feelings for her husband. She decided to file for divorce. At this stage of her life, fate brought her together with the bright choreographer Dmitry Kolyadenko.
