Piotr Dranga is associated with his excellent accordion playing. It became known back in 2006. Today they talk about Peter as a producer, singer and brilliant musician.
The childhood and youth of the artist Pyotr Dranga
Pyotr Yurievich Dranga is a native Muscovite. He was born on March 8, 1984. Everything contributed to the fact that the boy grew up as a talented musician. Peter grew up in a family in which his parents were associated with art.
Yuri Petrovich Dranga (Peter's father) is a Greek by nationality. He met his future wife at the conservatory, which was located in the Rostov region. Yuri Petrovich worked as a teacher at an educational institution, and Peter's mother, Elena Kirillovna, was a student.
It was the perfect union. Music constantly sounded in their house, so it is not surprising that Peter decided to connect his life with a creative profession. By the way, the head of the family eventually became a People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Piotr says that as a child he thought about becoming a veterinarian. However, with age, the love of music nevertheless "won" over the desires and hobbies of a teenager.
Father taught Peter to play musical instruments. For example, at the age of 5 he already performed several memorized melodies. The trip to the 1st grade coincided with the fact that Dranga Jr. was also enrolled in a prestigious music school. The work of the boy was fully justified. Peter at school age was a regular participant in music festivals and competitions.
The first serious success hit Dranga Jr. at the age of 5. The fact is that the boy became a laureate of the Moscow Accordion Competition.
Artist's contribution to music
The game of a talented teenager could be heard for hours. The guy was excellent at playing a musical instrument. It is also interesting that he performed not only classical, but also modern genres. Later, the guy also learned to play the bass guitar. Those who managed to work with the teenager "modestly" called him a genius.
Peter Dranga made an undeniable contribution to the development of modern music. This is one of the first artists who managed to make classical compositions interesting for today's youth. With his submission, the compositions received a completely different sound.
The Moscow musician did not leave his colleagues a chance to win. His shelf was full of prestigious awards. When Peter conquered Russia, he focused on other countries. He managed to win the hearts of Italian, Spanish and Chinese music lovers. Unfortunately, the victories did not enrich the musician. He had no choice but to get a job and wash aquariums.
The creative path of the artist
The creative path of the musician began early. Almost immediately after receiving secondary education, he created his own project. His brainchild was named "Torra". Performances of musicians took place in small restaurants. During the day, the musician attended classes at the Gnessin Musical College. After graduating from this educational institution, Peter entered the Gnessin Academy, where by that time his father was teaching.
Initially, the Torra group positioned itself as a vocal and instrumental ensemble. Later, Peter announced that his team would act as an instrumental group. No matter how hard the musicians tried, they failed to interest music lovers. Soon Dranga announced the dissolution of the team.
Peter Dranga went on a free "swimming". At first, he entertained the audience with his excellent accordion playing. When he got tired of it, he decided to move to the Caucasus.
Despite the fact that the father did not support his son in this decision, Peter moved anyway. In the Caucasus, he was met very warmly. Thanks to such warm receptions, the artist managed to save money. When the goal was achieved, he returned to Russia, where he created his own recording studio and the Over Drive group.
In early 2002, the Over Drive group, after long and exhausting rehearsals, went on tour. Despite all the fears of Dranga, the audience met the musicians with open arms. It was a great motivation to develop in a given direction.
Drangi's career began to develop after the talented parodist Alexander Peskov heard his game. The artist invited Peter to his show, and he agreed. Together with Peskov's team, he traveled to almost all countries of the former USSR. He also traveled to North America.
Now Peter was spoken of as a virtuoso musician. Many emphasize his artistic data and incredible charisma. Dranga was shown on TV screens. He acted as a guest artist on the show of cult Russian stars.
The beginning of the solo career of Peter Dranga
Soon Peter Dranga performed as a solo musician. He already had thousands of caring fans. In addition, he had a genuine reputation.
Drangi's discography was replenished with the first solo album in 2008. We are talking about the collection "23". The composition of the disc includes author's compositions. The incendiary tracks were well received by fans and music critics. The compositions contained notes of French chanson, tango and Latino. The performances of the musician deserve considerable attention.
A year later, the first large-scale concert of the musician took place in the main hall of Moscow - the State Central Concert Hall "Russia". The concert was broadcast on the central television of the country.
Dranga has a very bright appearance. He was repeatedly invited to try himself as a model. Peter had no less rich experience in television. For example, in 2007 he became a member of the Dancing on Ice rating show. Thanks to his participation in the project, he took 3rd place. And in 2015, he tried his hand at the Just Like It project. He performed in many interesting images.
After a long silence, Peter presented to the public two worthy albums at once. We are talking about the collection "Perspective" and "Gulf Stream". After the presentation of the LPs, Dranga went on a tour of the cities of Russia. His performances were accompanied not only by excellent accordion playing, but also by talented acting. The compositions Make Me Wanna Stay and Tango became "golden hits" of the collections. Peter also shot video clips on them.
Details of the artist's personal life
The personal life of Peter Dranga is the No. 1 topic among fans and journalists. The star has been repeatedly seen in the company of charming girls.
For a long time they talked about his romance with the charming athlete Laysan Utyasheva. Some magazines even reported that the couple was going to get married. Dranga officially denied these rumors. Peter said that Laysan is just a good friend.
In 2010, the musician appeared in the company of Oksana Kutuzova. It is interesting that they have been seen together before. Oksana and Peter could not avoid uncomfortable questions. But when Drangi was asked: “Is he in a relationship with Kutuzova?”, He said that he was, but in which (working or friendly) the musician did not specify.
Soon there was information that Peter was dating a girl named Anastasia. Dranga has not commented on these rumors. Then Wikipedia posted information that he was married to Alina Gaffarova. The message from the encyclopedia disappeared on the day it was posted. But all the same, the next day, information was posted on all sites that Peter had secretly married.
Peter and this time did not comment on the rumors about the wedding. According to the musician, any rumors and conjectures are no reason to stoop to the level of provocateurs. The fact that Drangi's personal life is closed from society only increases interest in the musician.
He intentionally does not advertise his personal life. In his social networks, there are practically no photos with women. And if there are such photographs, then they are either Drangi's colleagues or close relatives. Peter believes that he has the right to hide his personal life from fans and journalists. Today he leads a bachelor lifestyle.
The life of Peter Dranga was not without haters. Recently, he was included in the list of public people with non-traditional sexual orientation. Haters do not understand how such a handsome man can do without a woman. Peter denied the information, saying that he is straight.
Peter Dranga at present
In 2017, the name of Peter Drangi was again on everyone's lips. The fact is that he rented a one-room apartment, not far from the center of Moscow. Bodybuilder Vadim lived in the apartment, who died due to mysterious circumstances while in Dranga's apartment.
Vadim died of cardiovascular insufficiency. During the search, it turned out that all the cabinets and shelves of the bodybuilder were overflowing with a significant amount of drugs for gaining muscle mass. Later, friends said that he could not live without stimulants and literally drank handfuls of them.
Medical experts determined that Vadim had been dead for more than a week when Vadim's body was discovered.
