L one and son. Wives of famous Russian rappers. L'One: personal life

29-year-old L’One, performer of the hit “Everyone is dancing with their elbows,” at one time tossed for a long time between the “serious” profession that his parents wanted for him and his favorite thing - music. The result speaks for itself: L’One is now on a large concert tour in Russian cities

Rap artist L'One became famous several years ago when he worked as part of the group Marselle with his partner Nel. Two years ago he went on a solo voyage and began collaborating with the Timati production center Black Star. In the near future, L’One will give concerts in 29 cities of Russia. Contrary to stereotypes about rappers, Levan (that’s the musician’s real name, and he introduces himself as Leva) is an educated and well-mannered person. Moreover, he an exemplary family man: Everyone who was present at the shooting for OK! noted how kindly he treats his one-year-old son Misha.

Leva, it looks like you are a wonderful dad. How do you assess this role of yours?

To be honest, I'm not very good dad, because I don’t communicate with my son as often as I would like - I’m rarely at home. But if I’m with my family, I switch completely, and let the whole world wait. The son is still small, so he doesn’t understand anything yet, educate him or not. And when he grows up, we will search with him mutual language. My character is quite complex, I am quick-tempered, I hope my son will be different.

Are you afraid of conflicts in advance?

It’s just that I myself am a copy of my father, and it was difficult for us to communicate. Now that I have grown older, and my father has accumulated worldly wisdom, we have learned to find a common language, and when I was young and ardent - especially in adolescence - we often butted heads. I want to avoid the same mistakes with my son.

Did your father raise you strictly?

Yes, we had many stories - for example, when I misbehaved or tried adult drinks. And my mother, in turn, tried to protect me and hid me “under her skirt.” (Laughs.) Probably, it was due to the fact that my father is Georgian and my mother is Russian. On the one hand, the father's harsh hand, on the other, the mother's democracy. But all this is good, because I grew up to be a fairly intelligent kid who respects people, and especially elders. In my dad’s homeland, Georgia, it’s customary: if an adult comes in, you need to stand up, if he speaks, listen to the end and not insert your weighty “I”.

Did you choose what to do yourself, or was your father’s opinion decisive?

The main thing is that nothing was forbidden to me, which is why I am sitting here with you now. (Smiles.) I wanted to play sports - I worked out, I wanted to play KVN - I played. My parents needed me to focus on my studies; this is a normal desire.

In Wikipedia it is rather mysteriously written about you that in your native Yakutsk you were a “media personality”. What would that mean?

Let's just say that there I achieved everything that a young man at the age of about twenty can achieve, I captured all the areas where I can express myself in one way or another. He worked on radio, television, and was even the director of the creative department of a media holding, which included two radio stations and two television channels.

And you had all this already at twenty years old?

(Smiles.) Yes. But still, the basis of my development was sports: in the sixth grade I started playing basketball. In tenth year I got into radio, and after school I entered the philology department, but later dropped out. In the local media I purchased great experience, so when I entered television and radio journalism in Moscow, I yawned in the back row for the first two courses and eventually transferred to correspondence classes. The advantage of this decision was that I had time for music, the disadvantage was that the profession sank into oblivion, because self-study plays an important role in correspondence courses, and, let’s say, I didn’t do that.

So are you my certified colleague?

Ungraded. The fact is that music completely took over my consciousness. So I passed the state exam, but didn’t have enough time for the diploma. The funny thing is that at the same time I went to my institute with master classes on the topic “The difference between an indie artist and an artist on a label.” The rector then said: “Well, if so, go to study leave" True, it ended a long time ago.

So we come to the question of music...

(Smiles.) My passion for hip-hop began back in 1998. Basketball, wide pants, music - this culture was close to me. As my father said, we dressed “strange and funny.” At the same time, the Internet appeared in Yakutsk, and it became easier to search for information. I started with computer programs for mixing music. I started writing my first lines, rhymes, and then I plunged into it headlong and released my first solo album. Thanks to his contacts on radio and television, he even held a presentation in Yakutsk with posters and all that. Then he left for Moscow. True, I still went with the goal of developing in the musical field, and not to study...

So the journalism department has become an official excuse for the family?

Yes, I told my parents that I would study and become a journalist in Moscow. My father, however, more wanted me to study to become a lawyer, and my mother supported my journalistic inclinations. Until recently, both of them did not understand why I needed music, believed that it did not bring money, and did not even imagine that their son would be able to achieve something in this. In principle, they can be understood: a Georgian from Yakutsk who raps... (Laughs.)

I like your self-irony.

If it weren’t for hard work and a certain coincidence of circumstances, then perhaps I really wouldn’t have succeeded. I don't consider myself talented, but due to daily work I have what I have. Although, perhaps, on a subconscious level, I am trying to realize the dreams of my father, who played in the theater in his youth. I have great respect for him - he is a very hardworking person. He has always held leadership positions in the forestry sector. He and his mother, who still works as an accountant, are representatives of, let’s say, the middle section of the intelligentsia. Together they graduated from college in Krasnoyarsk and moved to work in Yakutia. Not only our family, but also our loved ones in Georgia rested on my father. Recently I received the highest degree of praise from him - although not personally, but through my mother. In one interview, I expressed my point of view regarding Russia and Ukraine. My father read it and said that it turns out that there is something in my head, he managed to plant some kind of seed of intelligence in me. (Laughs.)

Now he's probably very proud of you.

I think he understands that I chose the right path. My father’s colleagues sometimes ask him to help with tickets to my concert or with an album for their children. But he hides his emotions, so I don’t know.

Are you an only child?

I have a brother, he is five years younger. He also plays KVN and hosts events. Now that I’m on tour in Russia, I took it to help me. Before concerts there is usually an introductory part, when you need someone to come out and speak something to the audience, so he does this. Let's just say that I signed up for my freelance brother. Good to have around loved one, on whom you can completely rely. He has a bright head.

Has there ever been any rivalry between you?

No, we were next to each other throughout our childhood. I even think that sometimes he too zealously sets me as an example to himself. Now he is gaining experience and in the future he also wants to move to Moscow. In this regard, it will be easier for him than for me: he already knows where everything is happening, sees how each cog works in the mechanism of formation.

How did you develop? How did you live in Moscow at first?

I rented a one-room apartment with a friend with whom we created the group Marselle. In Moscow, no one was waiting for me, I ran to castings and tried to get a job on television. I thought that since I already had experience, I would come now and it would become clear to everyone how good I was, but for some reason they didn’t take me anywhere. (Smiles.) The first year I studied - my friend and I put our songs on the table - then I got a job at the Radio Next radio station, the only one at that time that played rap. I was desperately short of money, so at the same time I worked in creative agencies - I came up with scripts for holidays, then became a presenter in clubs and parties. And of course, taking advantage of his official position, he periodically brought songs to the radio with the words: “Hey, hey, look what!” The music director said: “Cool, well done!” - and put them aside. The songs probably weren't very good. (Laughs.) This continued until I brought our composition “Moscow”, which opened the Marselle group for listeners and occupied one of the lines of the Radio Next hit parade for thirty weeks. This was a significant milestone in my life: from that moment changes began, we released an album, and began to go on tour. And in 2011 we took a creative break.

And you started working alone?

Over the next year, I was at a crossroads, because I had a wife, and I, like a normal man, had to earn money, and music at that time did not bring in a penny, plus my self-realization and self-esteem were somewhere at the bottom. Friends offered me a job, and I was ready to take it when I received advice from my father, which I listened to, probably for the first time in my life. He said I needed to focus on one thing instead of trying to sit on three chairs. So I didn’t go anywhere, but continued to make music and signed a contract with Black Star. But I didn’t close the door to journalism, epistolary genre I'm very impressed. I want to return to this when my process of becoming an artist is over. At 35 years old, I’ll probably be able to say something from the height of my experience.

What did Anya, your wife, say when your mental turmoil began?

She is like the wife of a Decembrist to me. She didn't care what I did. I feel like my back is covered with her, it helped me then and helps me now. The fact is that Anya appeared in my life when I still had nothing.

How did you meet?

Anya is my college love. I took it from someone else young man. This Georgian came from Yakutsk on a white horse and invited her to the cinema to see “Revolver”. (Smiles.) I remember that after we walked, I covered her with a jacket because it was cool... Since then we started a relationship. Next year it will be ten years that we have been together, five of which we have been married. She's a great mother, a great friend and lover, and she knows perfectly well that if I'm out until the early hours of the morning, it means I'm in the studio. We know each other like crazy.

Tell me, did the birth of your son change your worldview in any way?

I was in the maternity hospital when Anya gave birth, although not during the process itself, because I think that this is something secret that a man should not see. They immediately gave me my son in my arms. And I suddenly realized that now it was really time adulthood. Later, I came to realize why everything is done in this world. If earlier I was involved in stage diving - jumping from the stage into the crowd, then with the birth of my son I began to be afraid, not even for myself, but for the young people who are trying to catch me - they are also someone’s children! I began to take more care of myself, although by nature I am a crazy person: I ride a snowboard, I once flew into the stratosphere...

To the stratosphere? On what?

On a fighter plane. They let me steer.

Steer?!

(Laughs.) The pilot asked me over the intercom: “See what I’m doing?” I say: “Well, yes...” And he: “That’s it, take the lever.” And I was like, “What do you mean?!” In general, he controlled the MiG-29 fighter at an altitude of 14 thousand meters and at a speed of 1.5 thousand kilometers per hour. Of course, I was sweating then, but now I remember with a smile, it was a great event in my life. My son had just been born... (Smiles and thinks.) What else has he changed about me? Forced me to find strength even in moments when I was physically and mentally devastated. He doesn’t care what’s going on with me, he’s growing, he needs to dress and eat. And this realization that my son needs me moves me forward. I want him to have a brother soon. Or little sister.

Read with this article:

Levan Gorozia, aka famous rapper L’ONE, was born on October 9, 1985 in the city of Krasnoyarsk in the family of the chairman of the forestry committee in the region. Levan was brought up in strictness. Father is Georgian by nationality. He instilled in his son a manner of being reserved and serious.

Sometimes dad didn’t show his emotions even among his loved ones. The same cannot be said about my mother. She had the talent to charm everyone in the area with her friendly attitude and openness to communication even with unfamiliar people.

When Levan was a young man, he moved to Yakutsk with his parents. There he actively visited sports Club and played basketball. Only the guy received a serious knee injury, and therefore had to forget about sports. At the age of 13, Levan became interested in hip-hop. He wrote his debut lyrics and became interested in creating music using special programs.

At the age of 20, the guy got a job on radio channels and participated in two projects at once. He did not want to remain a radio host, because he believed that he deserved better. He applied to the university and moved to Moscow with his friend, who later became known as the rapper Nel.

For 2 years, Levan studied full-time at the Faculty of Journalism, but then transferred to the correspondence department, wanting to focus his energy on development in hip-hop culture. He was looking for work, but in the capital this task was not an easy one. Subsequently, he was entrusted with the position of presenter at the Next radio station. Wage was scanty, and therefore he worked part-time at an agency, where he wrote scripts for various holidays.

Together with Nel, Levan created the team “Marseille”. The guy wrote the lyrics when his friend selected the music. In 2007, Marcelle began working with the German music label Phlatline. Since then they have become famous.

The guys took part in the show “Battle for Respect”, which was shown on MUZ-TV. In 2008, the group’s first album, called “Mars,” with the song “Moscow” was released.

In 2011, the group announced that it would no longer work with the German label, and a year later it announced its collapse. The reason for this, according to L’One, was creative differences.

In 2011, L’One began working with the label. Together they released debut album artist "Sputnik". Soon everyone was singing his songs “Everyone is dancing with their elbows.” In 2013, a video for this hit appeared on YouTube, which collected more than 11,000,000 views. Together with other artists of the label, L'ONE also worked.

This article is often read with:

In 2013, he released a song for GQ magazine, and S. Mazaev and Timati took part in it. In 2015, the rapper’s fans heard his second album, “Lonely Universe.” It included the track “Mars”. A year later, the rapper took part in “ Evening Urgant", where he presented the song "Hey, bro!". In the same year, he released the single “Yakutyanochka” in a duet with Varvara Vizborg.

At the same time, L’ONE was in open conflict with Dead Dynasty when the rapper Pharaoh sent the artist. He simply could not close his eyes to this fact, and therefore obtained an apology from his colleague.

In 2015, the album “Avtolyubitel” was released, and also a year later there were 2 collections “Gravity” and “From the Bottoms”. L'One collaborated with Quest Pistols Show, "Mummy Troll". In 2017, I pleased with new songs and videos for them.

Among these singles were: “Time of the First”, “Medal for a Medal”, “Chance”, “Fire and Water”.

Plus, he could be seen in an advertisement for the Coca-Cola company in the “Try... Feel!” video. Levan took part in the “Improvisation” show on TNT, performed in the same year at the VK Fest festival, which was held in St. Petersburg, and gave concerts in Moscow, Sochi, Novosibirsk, Gelendzhik, and in Belarus - in Braslav. It is also worth noting Levan’s participation in the YouTube show: L’ONE was one of Yuri Dud’s first guests.

On November 19, 2017 took place solo concert artist under Symphony Orchestra. Now L’One continues to delight fans with new hits and is working on another album. In the fall of 2018, the artist takes an ambitious step - L’ONE plans to assemble the Olympic

While still studying at the university, Gorozia met his wife Anna. It was 2005, when the public did not yet know about the rapper. In 2010, they also played a wedding. In 2013, the family was replenished with their first child; Levan and Anna had a son, Misha.

In 2017, Anna gave birth to a daughter, Sofiko. Levan admitted that after this he became vulnerable and sentimental. He feels happy with his children. He often takes Misha to his concerts in Moscow. Often he and his dad sing the track “Tiger” from the stage.

The way to the stage

L’One’s stage career began with participation in performances with the KVN team. And here he quickly went from an ordinary player to a presenter, deservedly becoming the leader of the Yakut KVN league. At the same time, Gorozia begins working on a local TV channel and radio. The father insisted that his son become a lawyer, so he did not approve of his passion for journalism. But the mother believed that the child should choose a profession according to his vocation.

Study in Moscow

By the age of twenty, the local media space had become too small for the guy, and he decided to continue creative path in the capital. Levan Gorozia goes to Moscow and enters the journalism department. Together with his friend, Igor Pustelnik, who followed him, the musician rents an apartment and creates rap compositions. After completing two courses, the rapper transferred to the correspondence course in order to have more free time. But in Moscow it was difficult for him to get a job, and after numerous attempts he finally found a place at the Next radio station. It is here that he brings his first works, which do not always end up on air. The salary was small, so I had to develop scripts for various corporate parties.

Music career

Together with Pustelnik (Nel), the rapper creates the team Marselle, which performs songs in the genres of rap and hip-hop. All the lyrics are written by Gorozia, and the music for them is written by Nel. The group’s first mixtape “I’m the Russian Dream” brings popularity. And after participating in “BiTV for Respect,” the guys become known throughout the country. The famous German studio Phlatline signs a contract with them. 2008 was marked by the release of the collection “Mars”. The most popular single was “Moscow”, which was later used as the soundtrack to the film “Phantom”. "Mars", recorded with the participation of such celebrities as Basta, Theon, Legend and others, immediately hit the top positions on the charts and remained there for several weeks.

In 2009, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the hip-hop agency Phlatline, a compilation was released, where new compositions by the group Marselle take a worthy place. The group successfully tours the country with other musicians. In 2011, Marcelle terminated the contract with Phlatline and announced its breakup due to the inability to find mutual understanding in creative activities.

In the same year, the rapper received an offer from the Russian agency BlackStar, with whom he began creative collaboration. L'One's hopes for the development of hip-hop in collaboration with the label came true. His solo album “Sputnik” became a successful debut for the singer. And the composition “Everyone is dancing with their elbows,” performed in the “chatter” format, rose to the highest positions in the charts. The popularity of the song was increased by a clip posted on the Internet and provided 10 million views. The performer constantly works with other musicians and records video clips. The composition, which served as a promotion for GQ magazine, was recorded with the participation of Sergei Mazaev and Timati in 2013. Many celebrities took part in the filming of the video clip. 2015 marks a new stage in the rapper’s work. He releases the collection “Lonely Universe,” which includes compositions from the repertoire of the disbanded group Marselle.

Personal life

The musician married a girl whom he had been dating for five years, since his student days. In 2013, his wife Anna gave the singer a son, who was named Mikhail. Levan Gorozia explained the choice of name by the fact that all the Mikhails he met on his way were very kind people, strong and cheerful. The family is not going to stop with one child and plans to have more children in the future. In addition to his wife and son, he is always next to the singer younger brother Vitaly. He is actively involved in Kaveen activities and accompanies the performer on tour, speaking at the introductory part of the concerts.

Anya is not only the wife and muse of one of the best Russian rappers, the mother of five-year-old Misha and ten-month-old Sofiko, but also a successful businesswoman. She has her own clothing brand, Inspiration Moscow, an important part of whose work is helping charitable foundations. Anya spoke about helping others, family happiness and the principles of the wife of a Russian rapper in exclusive interview PEOPLETALK.

L "One (or Levan Gorozia) is a popular rap artist, founder of the group "Marselle" and former artist label "Phlatline", which in 2012 became a member of the group and the label of the same name "BlackStar inc".

Childhood L'One

Levan Gorozia was born on October 9, 1985. in the city of Krasnoyarsk. His father is Georgian, his mother is Russian. They graduated from the same university together in Krasnoyarsk, then their father held senior positions in forestry, and their mother worked as an accountant.

According to the artist himself, his father was very strict with him as a child, trying to instill Georgian values, and his mother always supported and treated his hobbies with understanding. Although his dad participated in theatrical productions, perhaps these genes were passed on to Levan.

During his son’s youth, his family moved to the city of Yakutsk, where the future rapper began to actively play basketball, becoming a player on the local team. However, his sports career was not destined to take place and Levan left the sport after a knee injury, which he received during one of the games.

The future artist began to show interest in hip-hop culture quite early. In one of his interviews, 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.

The beginning of L'One's career

His journey into the media industry began with student team KVN, in which he initially acted as a participant, and quite soon became its host.

By the age of 20, the artist hosted 2 programs on Yakut radio channels, wrote scripts for corporate events and even hosted television program. Despite the fact that L’One achieved great success in his activities, he decided to try his hand at Moscow, since the confines of the city’s small media sphere had already begun to squeeze him.

Study and move to Moscow L`One

Under the pretext that he was going to Moscow to study journalism, but in fact setting out to develop his creativity, L"One, together with his friend Igor Pustelnik (Nel), moved to the capital, where the two of them began renting an apartment.

“My father hoped that I would become a lawyer, and my mother supported my journalistic inclinations,” the rapper admits.

Levan Gorozia nevertheless entered the journalism department, but after two years of full-time study, he transferred to part-time study in order to concentrate on his creativity. After the state exams, the artist went on study leave.

After numerous attempts to get a job in Moscow, L "One received 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.

“I took advantage of my official position, bringing songs to the radio with the words: “Look at this!” The music director said: “Well done!” - and put them off,” said L`One in one of his interviews.

Salaries, to a young performer there wasn’t enough, so he simultaneously worked at a creative agency, writing scripts for corporate events.

Musical career of L`One

The artist began his path to rap music, as noted above, in his youth. Together with his friend Nel, he founded the group Marcelle. Levan was mainly involved in writing lyrics, and his comrade was busy putting beats on them.

In 2007 the group signed a contract with the representative office of a large 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 came after both musicians participated in the TV show “Battle for Respect,” which aired on the Muz-TV channel. There, L "One lost in the semifinals to his groupmate Nel, who later became a finalist in 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.

L "One - Everyone Dances with Elbows

On March 31, 2011, the group announced the termination of cooperation with the Phlatline label, and a year later L’One announced on its Twitter page that the group had broken up due to creative differences.

Personal life of L`One

Levan (L’One) is married to Anna Gorozia, whom he met while still a journalism student in 2004. After 5 years, the couple officially legalized their relationship.

The artist has a brother, Merabi, who is 5 years younger than him. He is an active participant in KVN and accompanies Levan on tour: he conducts the introductory part of the concert before L’One performances.

Since 2014, the rapper has been the owner of the RBT content store - a showcase of melodies that replace the usual waiting tone.

L'One now

On May 18, 2011, L "One signed a contract with the label "BlackStar", under which his solo album "Sputnik" was released. The single "Everyone is dancing with their elbows" from the album quickly became an all-Russian hit and the first song in the "trap" genre to achieve cult status in Russia.

L"ONE - Tour “All or Nothing!” (Episode 1. Yakutsk)

On February 13, 2013, the BlackStar channel posted a video for this song on YouTube, which collected a total of more than 10 million views. A week after its release, the album “Sputnik” took fourth place in the iTunes Store rating.

L’One actively collaborates with other musicians on the label.
