There the girl married a young man Andreas Nelson, Swedish citizen, traveler, musician, Buddhist and fan of Eastern culture.It was Andreas who introduced Irina to oriental practices, yoga, meditation and travel to Nepal.

From her short-term marriage to Andreas Nelson, Irina still has the sonorous surname Nelson.

Having parted with the Swede who was prone to romantic adventures, Irina returned to Moscow, where the composer and producer was already waiting for her Vyacheslav Tyurin to begin their joint ascent to glory. The singer told him about her idea to create a progressive project aimed at dance floors and open-minded listeners. Group REFLEX appeared in 1999.

“The name Reflex was born from our close friend, stylist Alisher,” recalls Irina Nelson. - As soon as the decision was made to come up with a name for the group, we began to read all the inscriptions around, and one day we saw this word. Reflection means “reflection” in Latin, and it seemed to us that Reflex is exactly the word that accurately reflects our inner world.”

The group’s first hit, “Dalniy svet,” took the top of the Europa Plus radio chart. But the real bomb was another song - “Go Crazy!” Released in 2001, it rose to first place in the Russian Radio hit parade in almost a week.

In 2003, the group entered the international stage. In August, Reflex, together with Tatu, represented Russia at the Pop Comm international music festival in the German town of Cologne.

How old is Irina Nelson?

Tereshina Irina Anatolevna(before marriage) was born on April 19, 1972 in the small town of Barabinsk near Novosibirsk. Since childhood, the girl was fond of music and sang excellently, which was what predetermined her fate; already at the music school she became a soloist of a jazz project. Then there was a competition in Yalta, where the young artist caught the eye of the musician V. Tyurin and he invited her to become a member of the Electroversion group.

• This is the first singer in the world to enter the American Billboard chart within six months after the release of one of the songs.

And this is not all of her achievements. At 45 years old, she has achieved incredible popularity. The singer combines work in a group and has become famous as a solo performer, is a producer, author of many songs, wife and mother, and even grandmother.

Career and popularity

Irina's creative path is an endless search. After “Electroversion,” the girl tries herself as a solo singer and performs under the pseudonym Diana in honor of her favorite performer Diana Ross. But after releasing six albums and touring, she leaves Diana and begins work on a group project.

Nelson and Tyurin are launching the group Reflex, and it is with her that the young performer will gain real popularity:

1. One of the compositions “Go Crazy” occupies a leading position in the main music tops of Russia in 2001, as well as on radio Europe Plus;
2. In 2002, the group received the popular Golden Gramophone award (there will be five in total);

4. Tyurin organizes the company Reflexmusic, which begins cooperation with famous London music labels. Reflex is recording a joint project with German composer DJ BoBo.

In 2007, the soloist announced her decision to leave the project for further creative search; she was going to make a solo career, but in 2012 she returned and combined positions.

Irina’s personal life: husband and children

Ira received the surname Nelson from her first husband, Swedish citizen Adreas Nelson. The marriage did not last long, and the couple soon divorced. Irina has a son, Anton, from this union. Now he is an adult young man who followed in his mother’s footsteps and devoted himself to music. Anton graduated from one of the Moscow universities with a degree in show business management, but he does not only manage and organize work. The young man is talented and can play many musical instruments.

Ira married her longtime colleague for the second time Vyacheslav Tyurin . Their long-term collaboration over time grew into more than just work. The couple did not sign for a long time, living in a civil marriage, but in 2000 they registered their relationship without unnecessary celebrations. Now this is a happy family; for many years husband and wife have lived practically without arguing. Only a few controversial issues arise at a professional level, but they can be resolved quickly, according to the star herself.

While living abroad, the singer discovered Eastern culture. Today, Nelson is a yoga teacher, qualified by her degree from Kundalini University.

Video: is the award deserved?

The blonde with an impeccable figure became famous for her numerous erotic photo shoots, including nude photos and ones on the theme of lesbian love. In 2007, the British men's publication FHM included her in the list of the hundred most attractive women in the world.

Childhood

The future singer was born on April 19, 1972 (although some sources indicate the year 1962) in the Siberian city of Barabinsk, in a family of ordinary workers, where the eldest daughter Vera was already growing up. Father, Anatoly Vasilyevich, was a locomotive driver. Mom, Raisa Ivanovna, took care of the children and farming - they kept cows and rabbits.

Already at the age of 3, the girl loved to sit comfortably on her grandmother’s lap and sing melodic Ukrainian songs with her. Mom and sister, of course, sang along with them. When the girls grew up, they were assigned to a music school: the older ones - dombra, the younger ones - piano.

In high school, the director of the school jazz ensemble liked Ira’s singing and invited her to join the group. She enthusiastically performed vocal exercises even at home, so loudly that the neighbors knocked on the wall indignantly. Then she came up with an original way of studying that allowed her not to disturb anyone - she locked herself in the closet with a pillow and sang her mi-me-ma-ma-moo, burying her head in it.

Having received a school certificate in 1989, she continued her education at the Novosibirsk Music College, intending to become a piano teacher.

Music career

During her student years, the talented girl became a vocalist in a jazz orchestra organized at the school. In 1991, she participated in the forum of young performers in Yalta and met composer and producer Vyacheslav Tyurin, who invited her to his group “Electroversion”.

That year, the group’s debut song, “At Five by the Metro,” topped the Moskovsky Komsomolets hit parade, and for the aspiring artist this was a good start for a further stellar career. A year later she began performing solo under the name “Diana”.

Diana (Irina Nelson) - "Don't Tell"

In 1993, her debut disc “An Evening with Diana” was released. Over the next six years, 6 studio albums were released (especially popular were “I Want to Love”, “I’ll Be Back”), a remix disc, the collection The Best, and also made a large tour. In 1993, the singer performed at a music forum in Cannes, France, and then took part in the “Song of the Year”, organized in the USA.

However, in 1999, Tyurin decided that the Diana project had exhausted itself. Irina took a break from her career and moved to Germany with her newly-made husband Andreas Nelson, a Swedish citizen, the father of their soon-to-be-born son.

Irina Nelson in the program “About Love”

Abroad, she met singer DJ Bobo and member of the Modern Talking duo Dieter Bohlen, who influenced her work. About a year later, the artist’s marriage broke up, she returned to her homeland and resumed working with Tyurin as part of the new project Reflex.

Real success came to Irina in 2001 with the release of the song “Go Crazy,” which turned out to be the leader of the sympathies of listeners of Russian Radio. In 2002, the composition brought her her first Golden Gramophone.

The “Non-Stop” disc also became incredibly popular. Domestic football stars Dima Bulykin and Sergei Ovchinnikov participated in the creation of the video for the title song from the record. In 2003, the group represented the Russian Federation at the Cologne Pop Komm festival. A year later, in partnership with Babelspark and Sony Music, a new single by the pop group called “I Can’t Live Without You” was released, which took fourth position on the German charts. Over the course of many years of activity, they received many music awards, including “Stopudovy hit” and “Ovation”. In 2006, the singer received a state award - the medal “For professionalism and business reputation.”

In 2007, according to the artist, she began to experience severe depression. She left the group, took a sabbatical, going with her husband (by that time she had married Tyurin) for treatment in Dubai. Having rested, they decided to record an English-language solo album at the famous London Air Studio.

In creating the musical material, they were helped by sound engineer Steve Orchard, who had previously worked with such musical giants as George Michael, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and who appreciated the vocal talent of the Russian pop star. For some time, he and Vyacheslav also worked in the USA. Upon returning home, according to the pop singer, she literally kissed her native land.

Irina Nelson - “Warm Sun”

In 2009, her solo album “Sun Generation” was released with the single Sunrise (published in the Russian Federation in 2011 as “Warm Sun”, and the single “Dawn”). The record accelerated the singer's popularity. In 2010, the American TV channel “Eurochannel” and the publication Glam dedicated their materials to the “princess from Siberia”, and the Velvet Angels Company chose her as the “face” of the advertising campaign for the autumn-winter line of shoes.

In 2012, the pop singer decided to re-enter the Reflex group in parallel with her solo career. And their first joint creation, “I will be your sky,” ended up on the first line of the Russian Radio hit parade and was awarded the “Golden Gramophone” in 2013.

In the period 2012-2014. the group was preparing the album “Memories of the Future,” which mainly combined versions of their previous hits. In 2015, she gave her fans the songs “Artist”, “Grown Up Girls”, a year later - “Talk to Me”, “Everything I Wanted”.

The awarding of an honorary state award to her in 2017 - the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland - caused heated discussions on the RuNet. Fans congratulated their favorite on the recognition of her many years of creative activity, and “haters,” on the contrary, were indignant, not considering Irina worthy of such a high rank.

Irina Nelson: biography

One of the founders of the Reflex group, singer and producer Irina Nelson was born in the Novosibirsk town of Barabinsk in the spring of 1972. Her maiden name is Tereshina. According to Ira, her creative biography began at the age of 3. The baby’s first “stage” was the knees of her beloved grandmother. Sitting on them, the granddaughter amused her loved one with her first songs. Grandmother and mother sang along with her. They probably came from Ukraine, which is why Ira Tereshina’s first songs were Ukrainian folk.

Ira Tereshina

Irina Nelson recalls that as a child and teenager she was awkward and unattractive. The teacher always paid attention to Ira’s gait: the girl slouched and walked, waving her arms uncontrollably. She also didn’t know how to dress at all. All this came later, when Tereshina began to pursue a musical career.

But the girl’s ear for music and vocals were great from a young age. She graduated from the local music school in piano as an external student. I couldn’t imagine life outside of music. Therefore, having received a certificate, I went to Novosibirsk and entered the music school, choosing the piano department.

Career

At school, Irina Nelson discovered jazz. She was so carried away by this direction that she even became a soloist in the jazz orchestra that was formed at the school. But soon the young singer “outgrew” this group and decided to move on.

At the piano

Ira organized her own group, the repertoire of which included many songs of her own composition. The jazz big band began touring the country. But after the Yalta-91 music competition, where the Novosibirsk performer took 1st place, she left the group. Tereshina could not refuse the offer received from composer Vyacheslav Tyurin. He saw a talented girl in Yalta and invited her to work in the Electroversion group. Of course she agreed. It was a significant career leap that promised to turn the little-known singer into a star.

And so it happened. Ira Tereshina turned into the famous performer Diana. In the first year of cooperation with Tyurin, she recorded her first disc, entitled “Evening with Diana.”

Another reward

Diana's albums were released one after another and enjoyed considerable success. Between 1991 and 1999, the singer released 7 albums. The best of them are “I want to love”, “I will return” and “Don’t tell”. At this time, Diana actively tours, often abroad. In 1993, she attended the Cannes Music Festival. Later she participated in the visiting “Song of the Year” in the USA.

Diana received her first prestigious awards in 1996. The Soyuz studio awarded her the Golden Disc.

Diana

At the end of the 1990s, a radical turn occurred in the singer’s life. She got married and went to Germany. Actually, it was then that Irina Nelson was born. The singer's husband was Swedish citizen Andreas Nelson. The Russian woman took his last name as her stage name.

In Germany, the Russian performer met Dieter Bohlen and DJ Bobo. Of course, they influenced her further work. However, like her husband, he is a musician, traveler, Buddhist and a great supporter of Eastern culture.
After a short marriage, the singer returned to her homeland. Here she continued her collaboration with Vyacheslav Tyurin.

Songs by Irina Nelson

The composer welcomed the new trend that the performer decided to introduce into her work. She wanted to create a new project that would be focused not only on dance floors, but also on listeners with an “open mind.” Probably, the Buddhist practices that Irina Nelson met during the foreign period of her life had an impact here.

Group "Reflex"

This is how the Reflex group appeared in 1999. The name was first mentioned by the singer’s close friend, stylist Alisher. Translated from Latin, “reflection” means “reflection.” This is exactly what Irina Nelson wanted - to display her inner world.

The debut song "Reflex", called "Distant Beam", became a hit. She took first place in the charts on radio Europe Plus. And the second hit, the song “Go Crazy,” broke all records. In 2001, in just a week she rose to 1st place in the Russian Radio hit parade.

At the end of the summer of 2003, the Reflex group went international. Together with the Tatu group, she represented the country in Cologne, Germany at the international Pop Comm festival.

And in December 2005, Reflex entered the top five favorite pop groups of Russians according to the results of a vote ordered by the International Talent Agency. In the same year, the hit “Dancing” was among the top three winners of the Golden Gramophone.

It can be argued that Ira’s plan - to create a team that would produce hits for dance floors - quite worked out. In 2006, “Reflex” was recognized as the best dance project of the year according to the results of voting by Moskovsky Komsomolets. Singer and composer Vyacheslav Tyurin received state awards.

Irina Nelson. "Reflex"

Once again, a popular performer at the peak of her fame makes a sharp turn in her career. The creative biography of Irina Nelson received a new chapter at the very beginning of 2007. The singer begins a solo career. In January, she and her composer and husband Vyacheslav Tyurin went to Dubai. Tyurin headed a multidisciplinary music studio that recorded Middle Eastern and European rock and pop music. Another direction is recording and creating soundtracks for cinema.

With husband and composer

In the early fall of 2008, the singer’s fans were happy about her return after a time-out. During the break, she was preparing new material for her solo career. Now it was a completely different level. The first 2 singles were recorded at London's Air Studio, which belongs to former Beatles producer George Martin. The new songs of the pop star were produced by two people - the same Vyacheslav Tyurin and Steve Orchard, who at one time worked with such stars as Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel and Sting.
In 2016, Irina Nelson gave her fans a new song, “Talk to Me,” for which a video appeared almost immediately.

Personal life

Although her first short marriage to Swedish citizen Andreas Nelson ended in divorce, it greatly influenced the singer’s work and life. She discovered the East, Buddhist practices, meditation and yoga. Moreover, she practices yoga at a professional level, having completed a special training course at the Los Angeles Kundalini University. Nelson has a diploma that qualifies her to teach Kundalini yoga.

With my beloved husband

The singer is a vegetarian. Moreover, she chose for herself the most consistent form of vegetarianism: Ira is a vegan. He eats only fruits, vegetables, legumes and milk.
