At your husband's concert, are you usually backstage or in the hall?

Is it hard to be the wife of a popular rapper?
It's not difficult for me, because I don't perceive him as a popular rapper, he's just successful in his profession, which he chose, and I'm proud of him. There are just domestic difficulties. We can’t go to some places for a walk, although we live near Gorky Park, we can’t walk there at certain hours, because it will be uncomfortable for us, but on the whole it’s very normal.

Now, after four years of cooperation with specific children, we know what everyone needs. And we know that through our activities we can help them fulfill their dreams and desires. I hope I have the strength and the team to ensure that there are more children we can help.

Levan Gorozia was born on October 9, 1985 in the city of Krasnoyarsk. His father is Georgian, his mother is Russian. Together they graduated from the same university in Krasnoyarsk, then my father held senior positions in forestry, and my mother worked as an accountant.
According to the artist himself, his father was very strict with him in childhood, trying to instill Georgian values, and his mother always supported and treated his hobbies with understanding. Although his dad participated in theatrical productions in his youth, it is possible that these genes were passed on to Levan. During the youth of his son, his family moved to the city of Yakutsk, where the future rapper became actively involved in basketball, becoming a player in the local team. However, his sports career was not destined to take place and Levan left the sport after a knee injury that he received during one of the games.
The future artist began to show interest in hip-hop culture quite early. In an interview, he admitted that he began writing rap lyrics at the age of 13, and with the advent of the Internet, he began to master programs for creating music.
His path to the media industry began with the KVN student team, in which he first acted as a member, and soon became its leader. By the age of 20, the artist hosted 2 programs on the Yakut radio channels, wrote scripts for corporate parties and even hosted a television program. Despite the fact that L’One achieved great success in his activities, he decided to try his hand in Moscow, since the framework of the small media sphere of the city had already begun to crowd him.
Under the pretext that he was going to Moscow to enter the faculty of journalism, but in fact, setting out to develop his creativity, L "One, together with his friend Igor Pustelnik, moved to the capital, where they began to rent an apartment together.
Levan Gorozia nevertheless entered the Faculty of Journalism, but after two years of full-time study, he transferred to a correspondence course in order to concentrate on his work. After the state exams, the artist went on study leave. After numerous attempts to get a job in Moscow, L "One got a position as a presenter at the Next radio station, the only channel at that time that did not neglect songs in the Rap genre. The young performer did not have enough salary, so he worked in parallel in a creative agency, writing scripts for corporate events.
The path to rap music, as noted above, the artist began in his youth. Together with his friend Nel, he founded the band Marselle. Basically, Levan was engaged in writing texts, and his friend - overlaying a bit on them.
In 2007, the band signed a contract with a major German music label Phlatline. At the same time, the group's first mixtape was released: "I'am the Russian dream vol.1". The first wave of popularity surged after the participation of both musicians in the TV show "Battle for Respect", which was on the Muz-TV channel. There, L "One in the semi-finals lost to his groupmate - Nel, who later became the finalist of the second season of the program. However, the group began to be recognized.
In 2008, the album "Mars" was released with their most famous single "Moscow", which stayed at the top of the charts for many weeks. Such artists as Sasha Legend, Basta, Teona Dolnikova and others took part in the recording of the album.
The band announced their end of collaboration with Phlatline on March 31, 2011, and a year later, L'One tweeted that the band had disbanded due to creative differences.
Since 2014, the rapper has been the owner of the RBT content store - a showcase of tunes that replace the usual waiting tone.
In 2011, L "One signed a contract with the BlackStar label, under which his solo album Sputnik was released. The single "Everyone dances with their elbows" from the album quickly became an all-Russian hit and the first song in the "trap" genre that achieved cult status in Russia.
On February 13, 2013, the BlackStar channel uploaded a video for this song to YouTube, which has collected more than 10 million views in total. A week after its release, Sputnik reached number four on the iTunes Store.
L'One actively cooperates with other musicians of the label: Timati, Dzhigan, Mot, etc.
In October 2013, L'One, together with Timati and Sergey Mazaev, wrote a promotional song for GQ magazine, in the video of which many celebrities starred: Alexander Revva, Garik Martirosyan, Denis Matsuev, Fedor Bondarchuk and others.
The solo album "Lonely Universe" was released on October 6, 2015, the tracklist of which for the first time after the collapse included the song of the group "Marselle" - "Mars".

Biography
L'One was born in Krasnoyarsk in 1985, from where he soon moved to Yakutsk, where he began his career. As a child, Levan was a member of the Sakha (Yakutia) basketball team, but a knee injury prevented him from continuing his sports career, but Levan did not break down internally, but only completely switched all his attention to creativity.
In Yakutsk, L'One was a media personality, played in KVN, and later for three years was the host of the student league of KVN in the city of Yakutsk. At the same time he worked on radio and TV. After recording and releasing his first solo album in 2005, Levan moved to Moscow and, together with his colleague Nel, created the Marselle group.
With the release of the song "Moscow" and the debut album, Marselle made themselves known throughout the country and traveled to many cities in Russia, deserving the recognition and love of their fans and fans. The track "Moscow" for 32 weeks took first place in the Next FM hit parade.
The debut album "MARS" was named the best supplement to the new Air Force 1.
In 2008, L’One took part in the TV show “BiTVa for Respect” on the Muz-TV channel, the first mixtape “Mars FM” was released, as well as a reality show on the Internet, where viewers could get acquainted with the process of recording tracks. In the same 2008, a full-fledged album "Mars" was released, in the recording of which such artists as Teona Dolnikova, Dza-Dze, Sasha Legend, Knara and Basta took part.

I received an offer to work with the BlackStar team, we met, discussed working moments and decided to do one thing together. I believe that BlackStar is a team of professionals, working together with them, we will be able to show a new level of Hip-Hop in Russia.
In 2014, the artist launched his own showcase of RBT content.

An excerpt characterizing L'One
- What a beast! Denisov said. - I need to ask...“Yes, I asked him,” said Tikhon. - He says: I don't know you well. There are many of ours, he says, but all are bad; only, says, one name. Ahnete, he says, it’s good, you’ll take everyone, ”Tikhon concluded, looking cheerfully and resolutely into Denisov’s eyes.
“Here I’ll pour in a hundred gog” yachs, and you will be the arc “like a cog” chit, ”Denisov said sternly.
“But what’s to be angry about,” said Tikhon, “well, I didn’t see your French? Here, let it darken, I’ll give you whatever tab you want, at least I’ll bring three.
“Well, let’s go,” said Denisov, and he rode all the way to the guardhouse, frowning angrily and in silence.
Tikhon came in from behind, and Petya heard the Cossacks laughing with him and at him about some kind of boots that he had thrown into the bush.
When that laughter that had taken possession of him passed at Tikhon's words and smile, and Petya realized for a moment that this Tikhon had killed a man, he felt embarrassed. He looked back at the captive drummer, and something struck him in the heart. But this awkwardness lasted only for a moment. He felt the need to raise his head higher, cheer up and ask the esaul with a significant air about tomorrow's enterprise, so as not to be unworthy of the society in which he was.
The officer sent met Denisov on the road with the news that Dolokhov himself would arrive immediately and that everything was fine on his part.
Denisov suddenly cheered up and called Petya to him.
“Well, tell me about yourself,” he said.
On leaving Moscow, Petya, leaving his relatives, joined his regiment and soon after that was taken as an orderly to the general who commanded a large detachment. From the time he was promoted to officer, and especially from entering the active army, where he participated in the battle of Vyazemsky, Petya was in a constantly happily excited state of joy that he was big, and in a constantly enthusiastic haste not to miss any chance of real heroism. . He was very happy with what he saw and experienced in the army, but at the same time it seemed to him that where he was not there, the most real, heroic things were now happening. And he was in a hurry to catch up to where he was not.
When on October 21 his general expressed a desire to send someone to Denisov's detachment, Petya so pitifully asked to be sent that the general could not refuse. But, sending him, the general, remembering Petya's insane act in the battle of Vyazemsky, where Petya, instead of going by road to where he was sent, rode into the chain under the fire of the French and fired two shots from his pistol there - sending him, the general he specifically forbade Petya to participate in any of Denisov's actions. From this, Petya blushed and became confused when Denisov asked if he could stay. Before leaving for the edge of the forest, Petya thought that he must, strictly fulfilling his duty, immediately return. But when he saw the French, saw Tikhon, learned that they would certainly attack at night, he, with the speed of young people moving from one look to another, decided with himself that his general, whom he still respected very much, was rubbish, German, that Denisov is a hero, and the esaul is a hero, and that Tikhon is a hero, and that he would be ashamed to leave them in difficult times.
It was already getting dark when Denisov, Petya and the esaul drove up to the guardhouse. In the semi-darkness one could see horses in saddles, Cossacks, hussars, adjusting huts in a clearing and (so that the French would not see the smoke) making a reddening fire in a forest ravine. In the hallway of a small hut, a Cossack, rolling up his sleeves, was chopping lamb. In the hut itself there were three officers from Denisov's party, setting up a table out of the door. Petya took off his wet dress to dry and immediately began to assist the officers in setting up the dining table.
Ten minutes later, the table was ready, covered with a napkin. There was vodka on the table, rum in a flask, white bread and roast lamb with salt.
Sitting at the table with the officers and tearing with his hands, over which the bacon was flowing, fatty fragrant mutton, Petya was in an enthusiastic childish state of tender love for all people and, as a result, confidence in the same love of other people for himself.
“So what do you think, Vasily Fyodorovich,” he turned to Denisov, “it’s all right that I’ll stay with you for a day?” - And, without waiting for an answer, he answered himself: - After all, I was ordered to find out, well, I will find out ... Only you will let me into the very ... into the main one. I don't need awards... But I want... - Petya clenched his teeth and looked around, twitching his head up and waving his arm.
- In the most important ... - repeated Denisov, smiling.
“Only, please, give me a command at all, so that I command,” Petya continued, “well, what is it worth to you? Oh, do you have a knife? - he turned to the officer who wanted to cut off the mutton. And he handed over his folding knife.
The officer praised the knife.
- Take it, please. I have a lot of them…” Petya said, blushing. - Fathers! I completely forgot,” he suddenly exclaimed. - I have wonderful raisins, you know, like this, without stones. We have a new marketer - and such wonderful things. I bought ten pounds. I'm used to anything sweet. Do you want? .. - And Petya ran into the hall to his Cossack, brought sacks, in which there were five pounds of raisins. Eat, gentlemen, eat.
- Do you need a coffee pot? he turned to the esaul. - I bought from our marketer, wonderful! He has wonderful things. And he is very honest. This is the main thing. I will definitely send you. And maybe also, flints have come out of yours, they have been trimmed - after all, this happens. I took with me, I have here ... - he pointed to the sacks - a hundred flints. I bought very cheap. Take, please, as much as you need, or that's all ... - And suddenly, frightened that he was lying, Petya stopped and blushed.
He began to remember if he had done any other stupid things. And, sorting through the memories of the present day, the memory of the French drummer presented itself to him. “It’s great for us, but what about him? Where do you share it? Did they feed him? Didn't you offend?" he thought. But having noticed that he had lied about the flints, he was now afraid.
“You could ask,” he thought, “but they will say: the boy himself took pity on the boy. I'll show them tomorrow what a boy I am! Will you be embarrassed if I ask? thought Petya. “Well, it doesn’t matter!” - and immediately, blushing and looking frightened at the officers, if there would be mockery in their faces, he said:
- Can I call this boy that was taken prisoner? give him something to eat…maybe…
“Yes, miserable boy,” said Denisov, apparently not finding anything to be ashamed of in this reminder. - Call him here. Vincent Bosse is his name. Call.
"I'll call," said Petya.
- Call, call. Pitiful boy, - repeated Denisov.
Petya was standing at the door when Denisov said this. Petya crawled between the officers and came close to Denisov.
“Let me kiss you, my dear,” he said. - Oh, how wonderful! how good! - And, kissing Denisov, he ran into the yard.
- Bosses! Vincent! Petya shouted, stopping at the door.
- Who do you want, sir? said a voice from the darkness. Petya answered that the boy was a Frenchman, who was taken today.
- A! spring? - said the Cossack.
His name Vincent has already been changed: the Cossacks - into Spring, and the peasants and soldiers - into Visenya. In both alterations, this reminder of spring converged with the idea of a young boy.
“He was warming himself by the fire. Hey Visenya! Visenya! Spring! voices and laughter echoed in the darkness.
“And the boy is smart,” said the hussar, who was standing next to Petya. We fed him today. Passion was hungry!
Footsteps were heard in the darkness and, barefoot slapping through the mud, the drummer approached the door.
- Ah, c "est vous!" - said Petya. - Voulez vous manger? N "ayez pas peur, on ne vous fera pas de mal," he added, timidly and affectionately touching his hand. – Entrez, entrez. [Oh, it's you! Want to eat? Don't worry, they won't do anything to you. Sign in, sign in.]
