The bright soloist of the "Factory" Irina Toneva recently greatly surprised her fans by dyeing her hair in pink and purple. In the new image, Toneva feels confident. About why such changes occurred, Ira said in an exclusive interview with ProZvezd.
"The opinion of the producer above all else"
- Irina, psychologists say that usually girls decide on a sharp change in hair color because of a desire for a change in life or depression. Do you agree?
- Nope! In fact, everything turned out spontaneously. I came to my master, and in honor of a beautiful tan after a vacation, we decided to go completely in cold color. Here is what came of it. I like. Most likely this is not for long - do not be alarmed.
- Your producer Igor Matvienko does not scold you for such changes?
- No, he does not scold. There was the only time I was strictly told not to experiment. But I, by the way, then absolutely agreed with him. Because she appeared in public with a lot of finely braided braids, she was dressed in a classic glamorous and fairly candid dress. According to Matvienko, this was not so hot. Since then, I no longer braided pigtails. First of all, because for me the opinion of the producer is above all.
- It is believed that Matvienko is one of the most respectable producers in the Russian show business. Do you agree?
- Of course. He is noble and very gallant. It’s easy to work with.
- But at the same time he has a lot of performers, in addition to the "Factory". And "Lyube", and "Ivanushki" ... You are not jealous of them?
- No, we are definitely not jealous of Lube and Ivanushki. If the hairs of what you said appear, then it is on some very thin layer of ego-mind. It coexists very easily with another thick layer called “understanding”. Maybe it’s even good that our producer occasionally has one that he temporarily switches his attention to. You look and think: “What did he like about this singer?” So it turns out to find in yourself new facets.
Factory Group
“The man must be the main thing in the family”
- Your group is famous for its fans. What do they write to you on social networks?
- They write different things. This is mostly positive. By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much to my fans and ask them not to send fruit to our office. The fact is that we are in the production center very rarely, only at meetings. I do not have time to pick up the fruit, and they deteriorate. Bring pine nuts better: they can lie for a long time and wait for me (laughs).
- And why suddenly the fruit?
- Because I'm a vegetarian. They try to feed me vitamins. Of course, I am very pleased with such a care!
“Is your name married?”
- I will not say! (Laughs.) Fans on social networks sometimes offer a hand and a heart, but I am silent about this issue correctly. How do I see my chosen one? I like tall men (laughs).
- Is the material condition of the future husband important to you?
“Of course, I wanted him to be more wealthy than me ... or he was megasuperthalant!”
- And who will be the main: you or the husband?
- Of course he is. A woman controls the mood in the family, she is an emotional background. But all important decisions must be made by the man.
- Irina, and the last question. In the midst of summer, many artists went on vacation. Where are you going?
- We had a vacation for the May holidays. I rested in Sri Lanka, surfed. I agree that this is an extreme form of relaxation, but we tried to ride carefully (laughs). In the summer, I haven’t gone anywhere yet. I also really like Moscow now: this year our capital is different, not hot. But at sea with concerts we periodically get out. In a few days, for example, we will have a concert in Anapa, sunbathe there for a day. This is above the roof for me.
In late April, the 39-year-old lead singer of the Factory group Irina Toneva tied the knot with a choreographer, a participant in her show ballet, 27-year-old Alexei Brizh. The wedding was held in the strictest secrecy: only the closest newlyweds, parents and several friends, were present at the Khoroshevsky registry office in Moscow.
“I came to register the marriage of my son from my native Kharkov,” said the mother of the groom, Irina, with StarHit. - I’m very glad for them: a beautiful couple, very suitable for each other. Ira and I immediately had a mutual understanding - many common interests, it’s as if we’ve known all our life! I think that she will be the perfect wife of Lesha - caring, kind, attentive. "
The honeymoon had to postpone the honeymoon until now - both are absorbed in work. But in the near future, the guys still hope to go on a well-deserved vacation to the sea. Tonev and Brizh, whose creative pseudonym is Alex Soul, before officially becoming husband and wife, met for about two years. After meeting a young man, the singer even decided on a cardinal and rather bold change of image - Irina repainted in a platinum blonde.
The couple is practically inseparable: Alexei tours with Irina, teaches at the traffic light in the capital's school of modern dance, and also works as a music producer at a recording studio. But his path to success was far from easy: after moving to Moscow from Ukraine, the guy had to earn extra money by handing out flyers - his “promoter profiles” can still be found on the Internet.
