In the words of Basty, Lena– an ideal wife: she can cook dinner perfectly, and has time to look after the children, and helps her beloved husband organize various interesting projects. In general, not a girl, but a find!

Among contemporary performers there are many who can be called "one-day": they quickly light up in the domestic starry sky and also quickly go out. This does not apply to the L'One singer. His biography - both life and creative - is very rich and diverse, despite his rather young age. Below about this - a little more.

Childhood

The Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk is the place where the biography of L'One originates. The artist's nationality is Georgian, and his real name is Levan Gorozia. He was born in one of the city's maternity hospitals on the Yenisei on October 9, 1985, in an international family: the artist's mother is Russian, and his father is Georgian. They met when they were students - they studied together at the institute. After Levan, another son appeared in the family - Merabi, who was five years younger.

In the biography of L'One, parents occupy a special place. Throughout Levan's life, they (especially his father) are an indisputable authority for him and best friends. They raised their son in strictness (although the mother, of course, was always more indulgent towards the boy). From an early age, the future performer was instilled with ancient Georgian traditions - not only his father tried, but also his grandfather and grandmother, to whom the boy went to the distant city of Sukhumi every summer.

Levan lived in Krasnoyarsk for up to four years. It was at this age that he, then still the only child in the family, was taken by his parents to an even more distant and cold Yakutsk, having moved there for permanent residence.

Youth years

It was thanks to this city that such a hobby as sports, and more specifically, basketball, appeared in the biography of L’One. Levan himself later repeatedly admitted that he owed his upbringing to basketball - the development of fortitude, the desire to win, perseverance, and the ability to work in a team. Sport entered his life from the fifth grade and accompanied long years. And who knows, maybe the star of Levan Goroziya would have lit up not at all in the sky of show business, but among sports names - after all, the young man was even a member of the Yakutian basketball team! However, as is often the case, “if only it would interfere”: in this case, the knee injury that Levan received in one of the games prevented. I had to leave the sport. Levan's active brain urgently needed to turn its attention to something new.

Carier start

Music entered the biography of L'One when the future rapper was about thirteen years old. It was the end of the nineties, then in Russia it began craze hip hop industry. This cup did not pass even Levan. He became interested in foreign texts of this genre, and then he tried to write his own - about love, of course. When he got the Internet, the first thing the young man did was to find programs with which you can make music. And off we go...

Studying in the tenth grade, Levan connected his life with the radio. Journalism was not alien to him (and his mother dreamed that his son would choose this profession for himself), so after graduating from school he entered the Faculty of Philology. He studied for two years, simultaneously speaking in the student KVN team.

In less than twenty years, Levan worked on the radio, where he hosted two programs, hosted a program on local television, performed at KVN and wrote scripts for various corporate parties. He was quite famous person in little Yakutia, but he always wanted more. In addition, he did not give up music lessons - he wrote material for his first record. She came out in 2005, and the young man even organized her presentation - there were enough connections for this. However, he understood that in Yakutsk there were few opportunities for creativity, too much could not be achieved there, and ambitions were great. That is why, having informed his parents that he wanted to enter journalism, Levan left everything and left to conquer Moscow.

Moscow: the beginning

Levan left for the capital together with his friend Igor, who is now known as a performer under the pseudonym Nel. For the sake of justice, L’One actually entered the journalism department (however, he also studied there for only two years, so he does not have a completed higher education). And he and Igor rented an apartment and began to try to survive in a huge metropolis. In order to have something to write music (as well as eat), Levan got a job at the Next radio station, while simultaneously working part-time at a creative agency. Later, he said that he brought his texts to the radio - but they were put aside. And then, perhaps, considering that the group would be perceived better than an individual performer, Levan and Igor decided to create a duet. They named it Marselle - by analogy with the city of the same name in France, famous for its rap artists.

Marselle

The friends clearly divided the duties among themselves: Levan was responsible for the texts, Igor - for the music. However, their naive hopes that the young group would be instantly noticed were soon dispelled in the most cruel way. For a whole year they worked "for themselves", the songs went "to the table". Gradually, little by little, they acquired the necessary acquaintances and connections.

The guys got their first fame thanks to the song "Moscow", which stayed at the top of the charts for more than thirty weeks. But the real popularity for novice artists came after participating in the show "Battle for Respect" on the Muz-TV channel. Then they began to recognize in person. In the same year, friends released their first album called Mars, in which many famous artists took part - such as Vasily Vakulenko (Basta).

Levan and Igor worked together for seven years. In January two thousand and twelve, the tracks of friends parted ways. Everyone began to act independently. And Timati and his Black Star appeared in the biography of L'One.

Black Star

Levan signed a cooperation contract with the company (Timati) in May of the same year - despite the fact that, according to frank confession, at first he was rather skeptical about Timati and his work. Timati, on the other hand, explained the decision to cooperate with L'One by the fact that he saw potential in the young performer and became interested in what he was doing. One way or another, the proposal to work together seemed appropriate to both parties, and the contract was concluded.

Levan developed in his youth thanks to basketball. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to work at Black Star - on the contrary, he believes that it is much more difficult to achieve success alone than when there are people nearby who you can rely on. It was thanks to Black Star that a track appeared in the biography of L’One, which brought him great fame and became the most popular hit of all discos - “Everyone dances with their elbows”.

In addition, joint creativity is also practiced in the company - for example, Levan acted as one of the co-authors of the no less famous song “Come on, goodbye”, collaborated with Djigan, Mot, Christina C and Timati himself, of course.

It was at the Timati studio that the first solo album Levana - a year later. It was called "Sputnik" and included fourteen songs, six of which belong to other artists of the label. After the appearance of the record, L'One went on tour around the country with fresh songs. The second disc ("Lonely Universe") he recorded two years later.

Present time

Last year, L'One pleased fans with a new album called "Gravity", which many critics and colleagues of the rapper rated quite highly and called the best of all that the singer released. Besides, last year was marked for Levan by a duet work with the granddaughter of the famous bard Yuri Vizbor (Barbara) - together they recorded the song "Yakutyanochka".

This year, Levan has already released four videos, visited the filming of several television programs, and continued active touring. L’One also performs in the capital: on November 19, for example, it was held in Crocus City Hall solo concert with a symphony orchestra.

L'One: personal life

Levan's biography is notable for one fact: he is an exemplary family man, faithful and loving husband and father. It is generally accepted that artists are windy people, especially men, and every year they have new wives. The biography of L'One fully refutes this statement, Anya is his only love for many years.

Levan met Anya thirteen years ago, while still a student of the faculty of journalism, and they got married in 2010. The artist does not hide his love for his wife and gratitude for faith and support, because when they started dating, Levan was very, very far from his current popularity. In the biography of L'One, the wife (pictured) occupies the main place - she is his "third shoulder".

Three years after the wedding, the first child was born to the Gorozia couple - a son, who was named Misha. The name was chosen by Levan - all the Mikhails he knew were good people. He hopes his son will grow up the same way. Now little Misha is four years old. He does not see his dad as often as both of them would like - most of the artist's time is occupied by work, but when Levan has free time, he spends it exclusively with his family. "And let the whole world wait," - this is how the singer himself comments. By the way, Misha helps his father with performances - L'One often takes him to concerts, and they perform the song "Tiger" together.

This year, Anya and Levan became parents for the second time: in April they had a daughter, whom the happy spouses called the Georgian name Sofiko.

Confession

In the biography of L’One, despite the relatively young age and recent career, there are already quite a lot of various awards. For example, he repeatedly won the Music Box channel award as the best hip-hop performer, as well as the Ru.TV channel award in the same category.

1. Likes to fish.
2. Supports Lokomotiv and Liverpool.
3. He loves good quality shoes.
4. His younger brother works for him as a PR director.
5. Owns a small business in tunes, replacing in mobile phones waiting beeps.
6. Hard work is the main secret of success.
7. If not for music, I would go in for sports.
8. At the beginning of each year, he shaves his beard.
9. The rapper's father wanted his son to become a lawyer, although he himself was engaged in creativity in his youth - Levan believes that it is from his father that he has such inclinations.

The biography of L’One is a vivid example of how, with the help of perseverance, hard work, self-confidence and, of course, talent, you can achieve the heights you dream of. And this is far from the limit of all the possibilities of a young artist.

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. About helping others family happiness and the principles of the wife of the Russian rapper Anya spoke in an exclusive interview with PEOPLETALK.

In the tenth grade, he gets on the radio, and after graduating from school he becomes a student of the Yakutsk State University, where he studied at the Faculty of Philology for two years. Levan's promotion in the media space began with participation in the KVN team of the university. Pretty soon, the young man becomes the host of the student league of KVN of Yakutsk, staying in this status for three years.

By the age of twenty, Gorozia is already successfully working as the host of two radio programs and one television program in Yakutia. IN track record his biography consists of the radio stations Mix-Master, Dynamite FM-Yakutsk, Lena-radio, as well as the TV channels Muz-TV-Yakutsk and Master TV, the site writes. For some time he even works as the director of the creative department of a media holding, which included two radio stations and two TV channels.

During this period, the future singer writes and accumulates material for his first solo album. Using acquaintances on radio and television, Levan even held a presentation in Yakutsk in 2005. Seeing their son's passion for music, the parents did not understand why he needed it, they believed that she did not bring money. They did not even imagine that their son could achieve something in this.

Creativity L'One

L'One in Moscow, first steps

For an ambitious young man, this is not enough, he dreams of more. While working in Yakutsk on the radio, he learned that the first hip-hop and R&B radio station in Russia, Radio Next, had opened in Moscow, and listened to it via the Internet. In 2005, together with his friend Igor Pustelnik (Nel - Russian rap artist and beatmaker, member of the Marselle group with L'One, member of the Phlatline association), he takes the first and most difficult step towards fame.

Under the pretext that he is going to Moscow to study as a journalist, he quits his studies and work in Yakutsk and moves to the capital in order to get to work for Radio Next. Arriving in the capital, the friends realized that they were practically nowhere, in a strange city where no one needed them.

But, a little time will pass, and Levan will write:
Through the Arbat to the Embankment, to the Moscow River - this is my home, this is your home.
And when you cut circles along Sadovoye - this is my house, this is your house.
Where the sidewalks draw a pattern - this is my home, this is your home.
And my tears are not shame - this is my house, this is your house.

Together with Igor, they rented a one-room apartment for two. It was not easy, there were neither relatives nor friends. However, the step was taken, and Levan decided for himself that now he is standing at the beginning of the road, which should lead him somewhere.

At that time, there was no task to make music globally, but at the same time, friends did not leave their goals and desires related to it. It took whole year to get a job on Radio Next. This became the first Starting point for further progress. In parallel, Levan nevertheless entered the Moscow Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting (GITR) at the Faculty of Journalism.

In the process of studying, he was greatly helped by the work experience gained in the media of Yakutia. Much was already known, and by the end of the second year, it became boring to study, and the passion for music did not leave. After passing the exams, he goes on academic leave. It's time to give in to creativity. So the second attempt to get higher education in Moscow turned out to be as unsuccessful as the first one in Yakutsk. In an interview, L'One said: “The funny thing is that then I went to my institute with master classes on the topic “The difference between an indie artist and an artist on a label.”

For the first year, he and Igor composed music simply “on the table”. Then, due to visiting clubs and musical parties, the appearance of acquaintances, little by little everything began to spin. It was very hard, sometimes they simply didn’t have money to eat, and ordinary buckwheat porridge with ketchup was not often a delicacy. This situation forced them to somehow earn a living. Levan was forced to earn extra money in a creative agency, where he wrote scripts for holidays and corporate parties. In addition, he worked as a host at parties and in clubs.

In 2005, the artist's biography will experience a turning point! L'One and Nel create the group "Marselle". It consists of: Levan, who mainly writes lyrics, and Igor, who overlays a beat on them. The guys showed their demos to everyone they could. Including on the radio, where Levan worked, but they said that this is not it, it will not work here. He tells: “In such a situation, resistance goes with itself. It is very difficult not to give up, not to spit and start doing something else that immediately brings you money or gives you some results. This struggle with oneself is the most important thing for a creative person. And the point is not to be recognized at this stage, but simply to go further towards your goals. And if you have a desire to achieve something, then you must go, climb, crawl, get to know each other, communicate, talk.

In the end, one day he brought the song “Moscow” to the radio, thanks to which the public learned about the Marselle group. For thirty weeks, this song was at the forefront of the Radio Next hit parade. Life has changed dramatically.

The group got its name after the French city of Marseille, which was famous for its rap scene. In 2007, the Marselle group signed a contract with the famous German label Phlatline, which lasted until March 31, 2011. The band released their first mixtape titled "I am the Russian dream vol.1" in 2007.

The first popularity for Levan and Igor comes during their participation in the TV show "Battle for Respect" on "MUZ TV". In 2008, in the first season of the show, L'One lost in the semifinals to a label partner, a rapper (Alexander Stepanov). In the second season, the Marselle group was already introduced by Nel, who reached the final and won.

"Marselle" becomes recognizable. In 2008, together with Basta, Sasha Legend, Teona Dolnikova, Dza-Dze (Yakut rapper) and Khapa (Alexander Malets), they record and release the studio album "Mars" with the famous single "Moscow", which in 2011 was included in the film by Timur Bekmakbetov "Phantom".

The album is released on the Monolith Records label with the support of Phlatline. The album contains nineteen tracks. Criticism wrote about this work: “They got the job done. They have a hit that made the right noise. There is a beatmaker who summed up all the beats under one common sound. And there is the right lyrics, also creating the right atmosphere. It is worth noting one feature, this is the language of the guys. It has so many anglicisms and borrowings from American slang that it gives additional points for the perception of the final product as not too Russian. After all, all these “micro”, “gan”, “bro”, “play”, “blunt”, “man” are scattered everywhere.

In honor of Phlatline's 5th anniversary, the compilation Phlatline in da building was released in 2009. The disc also featured new works by Marselle. In support, a video was also shot for the song "In Your House".

During the period of active work of the group, clips were also shot:

• "He was", "Moscow" - 2008;
• “She”, “In your house”, “Spin the blunt” - 2009;
• "All that I need", "Moscow" - 2011.

In January 2012, Marselle temporarily ceased creative activity. As Levan said: “We just took a creative break. We have slightly different approaches to work. I am a person who needs to do as much as possible to avoid depression. Igor lives in a different rhythm.” Judging by this statement, the reason for the suspension of the work of the group was a different approach to the work of its members.

How did L'One get on "Black Star"? The singer notes that he did not have an end in itself to get acquainted with Timati, it developed somehow by itself. He does not hide the fact that at the beginning, like many musicians, he was skeptical about this label. But, as time went on, views changed, the moment came when something had to be changed in his career. And so, in May 2012, L'One was offered to continue his work on the Black Star Inc label, and he agreed. On this occasion, Timati said: “In general, the segment of the material that L’One creates is not filled. We signed this artist because I see potential in him and in the music he makes. His rapping is interesting and I see the future in this."

L'One believes that it is very difficult for any artist to succeed alone, the site writes. There should always be a team of people who will work for the success of the artist, for a general positive result. Now on the label, many decisions are made together, but in the creative component, the final decision remains with him, because he feels his audience and the music that he wants to present to people. Moreover, he came to the label not as a novice artist, but already with some experience. Therefore, by combining the contents of his creative baggage with the ideas and proposals of the label, now the output is a quality product.

To the question "kuraj-bambey" - what is better and what is the difference: to be a freelance artist or to be on a label? L'One replied: “To be a freelance artist on a label. This is the most beautiful feeling that is happening to me right now. Everything has its pros and cons, and if you try to combine them, you will get just my story.

L'One's style of music is melodic and accessible pop rap in the vein of Kanye West, Kid Cudi and Drake. Moreover, over time, from album to album, it is constantly changing, as the artist is constantly experimenting and developing.

L’One was one of the participants in the writing and performance of the track “Come on, goodbye”, which was recorded in 2012 during the conflict that occurred between Timati and Philip Kirkorov as a result of the MUZ TV award. Timati considered that the awards were not fair. Between them began a scandalous correspondence on Twitter. At the call of Timati, many rappers immediately connected at this time, including L'One. They composed each of their verses, put everything together. So a track arose against that pop musical layer in Russia, which already stands across the throat and whose preacher is Kirkorov.

L’One notes that there are already many good artists, which it is high time to appear on big stage. However, the old TV and radio formats, which have become obsolete, do not give them this. With this track, rappers wanted to break the long-established pop channel of making money on not very good music.

But it is hard to imagine that turning on, for example, the first television channel, you will not see and hear Philip Kirkorov. L’One does not quite agree with this, because generations are growing up, changing. And if you look at the central channels, there is still really quite a lot of pop music, but young artists with their videos have already begun to be taken there. There is every opportunity to show other music, the main thing is to make a quality product.

In April 2013, the debut studio album was released for the period of work on the Black Star Inc. label. called "Sputnik". The album is very motivational, it is for those people who set certain goals for themselves, believe in their strengths and dreams.

L'One started working on it right after joining the label. The album contains fourteen tracks, six of which are guest tracks. The guests were: Timati ("The Future Is Somewhere Near"), Pavel Murashov ("Your Day Has Come"), Chest ("Salute to Heaven"), Christina Si ("Bonnie and Clyde"), Ms. Sounday ("Time"), Tina Smith ("Love and Hate").

The album contains singles:

• "Monday" is the first official single released on October 3, 2012;
• "Love and Hate" - released February 4, 2012 and produced by beatmaker 4eu3;
• “Everyone dances with their elbows” - the release of this song in the trap genre took place on February 13, 2013, simultaneously with the video directed by Rustam Romanov. The track very quickly became first a hit, and then reached the status of a cult. According to L’One, this is actually a remix of his song that no one will ever hear, and the phrase “wherever I am, everyone is dancing with their elbows” is simply taken out of its context.

Levan came up with the idea for this song after his concert in Krasnodar. During the performance, out of the corner of his ear, he heard from the guys who worked on the stage the phrase “we dance with our elbows”, which they shouted into the hall, turning on the crowd. Then the style of music "trap" in Russia was gaining momentum, and he got the idea to combine what he heard with such music. The singer suggested to his DJ with whom he goes on tour (DJ Butch) to make a remix and this is the result.

The version of the song that is being listened to now is its seventh version. During the work, a lot of things changed from drums to some line, until the desired version turned out. There used to be swear words in the text, the song was rather dirty and unformatted. While working on it, Levan's team joked and laughed a lot - what if they hear her, for example, in a minibus. People go to work, and here - "everyone is dancing with their elbows"! So it was finalized, and now the song is played and listened to everywhere.

Why, in fact, "dance with elbows"? - such a question was asked to the singer during his tour in Voronezh. He replied: “Because everyone dances with their elbows! If you look at it this way, then Yeltsin danced with his elbows, LeBron James danced with his elbows, Afonya even danced in such a movement - everyone dances with their elbows! Trap and elbows are one and the same. It's the most important movement in trap."

• The premiere of the video "The Future is Somewhere Near" - took place on April 26, 2013, and for the first time it was performed by L'One and Timati on February 14 of the same year on the "Big Love Show" from "Love Radio";
• "I'll Be Young" is the fifth single released on September 5, 2013 with a video clip directed by Vladimir Shklyarevsky.

A week after the release, the album took fourth place in the iTunes Store ranking, and at the end of 2013 it became sixty-seventh in the bestseller list. During this period, L'One tours the country and promotes the album "Sputnik", because the people want to listen to him and sing along with him. L'One said at the time: "Twenty concerts a month is not the limit."

At the same time, he is a little skeptical about how the album is received in the country. In his opinion, Russia is still not ready for such music, because it is fundamentally different from all that Russian rap that exists now. In this contrast, suggests L'One, he will certainly have both fans and haters. Despite the fact that, judging by social networks I like the album, he is sure that such people who will say: “Ugh, what is this?” also a lot, and perhaps even more than admirers. But, the artist is sure that the more fans come to his concerts, the higher Sputnik will fly.

L'One and the Lonely Universe album

The Lonely Universe album was released in 2014 and consists of eleven tracks, four of which were recorded with the guests of the disc:

• "Ocean" - feat. Fidel;
• "I Remember" - feat. Timati;
• "Music. Happiness. Love" - ​​feat. Rita Dakota;
• "Pirates" - feat. Naadya.

The album is tailored for big tours. Choruses - bridges - hooks, instrumentals, from which even the most clumsy will jump, lines that the audience will scream in unison - all this is available. And so it happened, with the album the artist goes on a tour called “Everything! Or nothing!" in twenty-nine cities of Russia. The first performance took place in his hometown of Yakutsk, and the final one in the Moscow club "Ray Just Arena".

One of the reviews for the album (Nikolai Redkin for "Flow") said: “I like the breadth of Leva's horizons. In America, some ASAP Ferg easily adds his verses to the songs of the HAIM group - here he is similarly processed the song of the singer Naadi, it turned out cool. There is good songs"Ocean" and "Adrenaline" - without any discounts on "sound great live", just good, according to the Hamburg account. It was quite effective to remind about the Marselle group, and from the reaction to the joint track of L’One and Nel, it is clear that many missed their tandem.

In September 2015, the EP "Avtolyubitel" was released, consisting of six songs. In it, one of them (“Airplane Mode”) is a fit with Pavel Murashov, the rest are performed by L’One. The tracks are written in the style of nostalgic jazz rap. Music, as noted by experts, is not similar to what he released earlier. The idea of ​​creating a mini-album appeared as a result of the correlation of pre-existing musical material.

About this work, the artist said for The Flow: “Everyone thinks that I brought back the old sound, but in fact it is as it was in my songs, it is. I never get hung up on a certain format: today I do 808s and Mr. Heisenberg, and tomorrow I do something in the style of Jimi Hendrix.

At the end of September 2016, the final part of the space trilogy was released in the form of the third studio album Gravity. The album turned out to be diverse and solid. On this record, L'One sounds the most convincing of his entire career.

On the eve of the release of this work, the artist said this about her: “There is a lot of love on the album. Love for the family, for a woman, for music. The main reason why main character, having worked all this space history, trying to return to Earth, is love. This is such a general line of the whole album. There will be no motivation as such. I've already talked about it for two albums. She will be present, but minimally. There will be almost no trap, the global rocking that I suffered on previous records.”

The recording was made mainly in Amsterdam. The artist went there in search of inspiration along with his team, guest performers and producers. It required a complete disconnection from the everyday hustle and bustle, in Moscow it is impossible to do. And what could be better than creating in the capital of Holland on the ocean.

The rented apartment was converted into a studio, where work was in full swing from morning to night. The principles of the formation of the album correspond to the standards of Kanye West. It looks like a combination of "conscious" hip-hop in the spirit of Talib Kvelli ("Fire and Water") and jazzy rap ("Bird cherry"), and then suddenly L'One reads out a beat in the spirit of Just Blaze ("Rocket").

The album consists of seventeen tracks. It is more musical than the previous ones, many instruments are recorded live. Hooks are almost everywhere performed by guest artists:

• Basta, Vladi - "Rocket" (beat by an American producer);
• Elka - "Chance";
• Monatik - "Dream";
• Pavel Murashov - "My way";
• Kristina Si - "Bird cherry";
• Nel, Paanda - "Brother for brother";
• Group "Moral Code" - "Night Caprice";
• Jasmine - "Road", "Martian".

Regarding Jasmine, in an interview with The Flow, L'One and Basta said:

• L’One: “Everyone thinks that I have a song on the album with the Russian singer Jasmine. Her real name is Jasmine Karimova. She has a lot of mixed blood. She lived in Australia, lived in London. Now lives in Amsterdam. She is eighteen years old. Just a space man. Absolute pure energy from it pret. Now she is writing an album in Los Angeles with top musicians who worked with Adele, with Shakira. She has nothing to do with Russia or Black Star. She sings to English language, and I, the bastard, made her sing with an accent in Russian.
• Basta: “Leva came to visit and put me a song recorded with one girl. I swear, neither I nor anyone else has ever heard such vocals. On this album, the best L'One beats he's ever read are here best sound, here he managed to capture the right "vibe" that he has been chasing lately.

Clips and films

Russian professional basketball player Timofey Mozgov and European and world champion in rhythmic gymnastics Lyaysan Utyasheva took part in the filming of the video "All or Nothing". How were they persuaded to do so? I have known Timofey Levan for a very long time. He himself is a basketball player in the past, he knows a lot of people from the world of basketball, constantly keeps in touch with them, including Timofey.

I’ve known Laysan not so long ago, but at the first contact with her I realized that they were on the same wavelength. And when Levan invited these people to take part in the filming of the video, they happily agreed. They liked the idea of ​​the clip, because many athletes are very close to the slogan - "All or nothing!"

In May 2016, L'One presented its new clip on famous song Natalia Trapeznikova "Yakutyanochka". Performed by him together with the singer Varvara Vizbor, the song sounded completely new. The clip was filmed in Yakutia on the territory of Us Khatyn in April. The text about love for a Yakut girl was supplemented by a friend of the singer - Nel. The clip "Yakutyanochka" has become the second in a row, which was filmed by L'One in Yakutia. The first was the work "From the bottom", in which the artist talks about the very beginning of his biographical journey into music.

L'One as actor, director

The first musical film was released, the first short film for the EP "Avtolyubitel", where he directed and plays himself. In the future, he plans to release some kind of art house every six months.

L’One was able to try his acting skills in 2011 in the promo video “Pregnant” (episodic role) and in the film “CHOP” (second season, fifteenth episode) by performing the song “Everyone dances with their elbows.”

L'One about his ideals in creativity

In an interview for GQ magazine, the artist named three "pillars" on which his work is based. This:

• Talib Kweli - rapper from America, known for the Black Star team (American hip-hop duet) in collaboration with MC Mos Def;
• Kanye West is an American rapper and record producer. Repeatedly called by critics one of the greatest artists of the twenty-first century. He took part in creating hits for such artists as Ludacris, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Talib Kweli;
• Jay-Z is a rapper from the United States, known for having thirteen albums on the top of the Billboard 200, which is a record among all solo artists and took second place in history after " The Beatles with their nineteen albums.

The attitude of L'One to Russian and rap

How does L’One feel about what they say, they say, there is no rap in Russia? To this question of Taisiya Zhuravleva "Postscript" the musician answered: “You invited a rapper for an interview, people go to concerts, there are two rap concerts in one city, many rappers travel around the country, many gather huge audiences of listeners. To say that there is no Russian rap is some kind of self-irony, there is Russian rap and it has a very large number of admirers. And the task of the artists of this direction is to make it even more popular, so that not only rappers listen. Then it will become even more popular.

He has always had a bias towards the West, but L'One wants to make his music closer to Russian realities. What is the difference between Russian rap and foreign? In his opinion, this is that the Russian rapper, unlike the American one, is ashamed to make money. There, somehow everything is sharpened for it. This is probably neither good nor bad. There it is a global industry, which is tied to TV channels, radio stations, specialized magazines and websites, specialized journalists, and so on. Russian rap is a certain segment of music tailored for a very small audience, despite the fact that the audience is expanding and getting bigger and bigger. There it is an industry, but in our society it is regarded more as a hobby by the society.

L'One on what a modern young gentleman should listen to

The artist says that it is definitely difficult to say what this playlist should be, especially since everything is developing so rapidly. However, this list, in his opinion, should include:

• "Niggas in Paris" - Kanye West and Jay-Z;
• British rock band Coldplay;
• Russian band "Tesla Boy" - Dream Machine;
• French "M83" - Midnight City.

Sometimes L’One is reproached for changing the audience of listeners since the “Battle for Respect”, and the question is asked what made you reconsider your views on creativity? To this, the singer replies: “The word “creativity” means “create”. This means that you cannot stay the same all the time.

If the listener heard one song or album, then in his understanding, the artist should continue to write and perform only such things? As well as, for example, an artist who previously painted flowers has now begun to paint at home, then his admirers have a question and indignation - why did the changes take place, why are they now at home, because there were flowers ?!

L'One is a person who experiments throughout his life. To understand his position on this issue, he lays out own creativity into stages explaining:

• one of the first with the Marselle group, they began to make some kind of intelligent music - hip-hop and rap absolutely not tied to underground romance. In general, we decided to bring something of our own;
• after that, the artist decided that with his work he would give the audience some incentive to be better, some motivation for everyone who hears his songs. Later I decided that I needed to create art with which you can make all five to seven thousand people who came to the concert fly with you from the stage in euphoria;
• now he has released the EP "Avtolyubitel", returned to a more jazzy sound with a different semantic load.

He so wanted. And when the creator begins to follow the lead of his audience or society, he ceases to be a creator and becomes a opportunist. L'One is not going to be such a person. He wants that one day, waking up in the morning with an understanding of what he wants to write, for example, a rock song, not to think that after that, someone will say - why do we need this? Give us rap!

The Creator is a free artist, so L’One is convinced that it is impossible not to change, you need to Create!

L'One on dedication at concerts

Once upon a time, three concerts a week were not enough for him, then he began to give twenty concerts a month and said that this was not the limit. But what about fatigue and performance quality? To this the singer replied: “Of course, when I throw energy into the crowd, there is some devastation after the concert. But, if you do what you love, and it gives pleasure, then in any case you will find the strength to do it further. Therefore, even when at the third concert in a week I already have a broken voice, I still find the strength in myself and pump it to the maximum. I do not want, for example, people from some city to write - today Lyova arrived and was kind of gloomy, sad and did not shake. This is not my style, I go on stage and I'm with the people. This is the most important feature in my concerts. I never rock alone, I always rock with my people."

Together with him, his tour team overcomes such a rhythm - director Ulyana, sound engineer Seryoga and DJ Butch. He is almost like an independent artist. Those people who come to the concert notice it. He has a separate block of his program, for about twenty minutes, when he goes to Levan and works with the public. Butch is practically the only DJ who works with a microphone. He is a DJ MC, he warms up the crowd, prepares them for what will happen on stage.

L'One on competitors for Black Star artists

Worthy rivals L'One considers Basta, the Casta group, whose members long time do not relax and constantly evolve, Nel is the intelligent hippie of Russian rap. Of the young and little known, this is ATL, making nihilist rap, dirty horror-core. This, as the artist says, is new, interesting and even scary.

L'One shares the secret to success for beginners

“There is no perfect formula. Hard work, perseverance and a little bit of talent. Everything,” he says.

Other interests of L'One

L'One and "Swag"

“Swag is good that he appeared in Russia,” says L’One in one of his interviews (“swag” is a word expressing coolness in any of its manifestations, as well as respect and indisputable authority). Thanks to this word, many young boys and girls began to dress even better. On their examples, in photographs on the Internet, others learn to look right and beautiful. Levan believes that there is nothing shameful in the fact that a person is beautifully dressed. This is much better than being dressed in shoes with white socks and rolled up sweatpants or something like that.

Some are outraged that these are Americanisms that penetrate Russian speech and influence Russian life. No, it's cool! After all, if you can come from Yakutsk to New York, you will have a snapback on your head, and a passer-by will come up to you and say swag, then you will immediately understand what he is talking about and what he means. For him, the meaning of this word is not pathos, not coolness, it is a feature, self-realization. It can be anything from your pair of sneakers to your behavior. Your behavior can also be a swag. L'One is positive about this.

Wikipedia won't tell you about it! Since 2014, he has had his own showcase of RBT content - melodies that replace the usual waiting beeps on phones.

L'One also tries himself as a business coach. In Moscow, Krasnodar and Rostov, he visited institutes and universities, conducted master classes. There he told, based on his life moments, how to move and act in various situations when developing his business. I am ready to continue doing this if there are invitations and a small audience ready to listen to him.

L'One about talent and hard work

L'One does not consider itself talented person rather industrious. This industriousness makes him get up every day and make music, go to the studio, improve himself, do exercises every day at nine o'clock in the morning - all this contributes to creative growth. If you want to achieve your goals - improve yourself, force yourself to work even when your hands drop, just remember that it will not get better, and then you will regret it, in the end. You want yours much more than your parents, friends or someone else, then you will succeed. At least he tries to act according to these principles and says: "Do sports, drink less and smoke lighter"!

L'One and motivation

“The most important motivation is somewhere inside every creative person” he thinks. A variety of things can motivate you, for example, your friends, comments on your VKontakte wall. But you should not pay attention to all this, but you should feed yourself from the inside with some thoughts that make you move. The materialization of thoughts works to some extent. If you constantly think about the goal to which you are going, it will certainly force you to do some actions to improve yourself and your actions. No matter what, you have to go and move forward.

The artist's biography includes many motivating songs. To some extent, he writes them for himself, in order to cheer up more. But they come out on their own. There is no such thing that before writing a song he sets himself a task - today I will write a track on this problem so that everyone thinks, and tomorrow - on another.

L’One has devoted about ten years to this sport. He is a candidate master of sports in basketball. Took part in competitions, the team went to the zones Far East, won the international games "Children of Asia". This is his favorite sport.

In those days, training was not without problems. One of them is the lack of quality sneakers. He started with Converse (Converse sneakers), then other, better ones appeared. However, on a subconscious level, even now he still has a passion to buy such sports shoes, a pair a week.

His favorite NBA team for many years has been the Los Angeles Lakers, which he has been a fan of since Magic Johnson. Of the Russian clubs, he does not particularly single out anyone, rather, he is a fan of those where his friends play. For example, in Nizhny Novgorod Dmitry Khvostov plays, therefore he supports him, and through him the team.

To the question - if not music, then what? The singer clearly answered: "Then - sports or something related to it, despite the fact that I used to be a professional basketball player and "thanks" to an injury got into music."

L'One believes that the essence of the game of basketball gives the desire to constantly and persistently move forward to achieve results, to win. The time when he was engaged in it also influenced him in this sense, educating and tempering his character. He has many friends in Moscow and throughout Russia associated with this sport.

Basketball continues to love, goes out to play on the court or in the hall, tries to do it more often. Although with his constant moving and employment on tour, work in the studio and everything else that is connected with music, it is not possible to devote much time to basketball. With pleasure he watches the NBA championship at five o'clock in the morning (due to the time difference with America) and cheers for his favorite club.

Not so long ago I decided to develop my favorite game in Russia. Now basketball as a sport, unfortunately, is not even among the five most popular. He organized a charity match with the participation of an NBA star, a match of stars in Gorky Park, where Levan himself played. He plans to restore basketball courts in several cities and hold master classes.

In addition to basketball, L’One loves other team sports, such as football. His five favorite football players look like this: Zinedine Zidane, Lionel Messi, his uncle, who was involved in the youth football team of Georgia, Ronaldo ("Critter"), Ronaldinho.

About gifts. The last gift that his wife gave him was a helicopter flight under his own control with an instructor! She was with him, sat all the time, trembling and heroically endured, watching the process and waiting for it to finally end.

During the period of being at the airport or train station, waiting for a flight, he first of all looks for a smoking room, and then a place where he can sleep. During the tour, I realized that the most unattainable goal is to get enough sleep. There is nothing more pleasant than sleep, so at the first opportunity - sleep, sleep, sleep!

While traveling, he plays fifa for Barcelona on his iPad, listens to music, plays his most hated game, which is called "The Hardest Game".

Joke from L'One

To a serious question from the “Elite Bath Salon” - where songs are best invented, asked in an interview to Levan through “kuraj-bambey”, the artist replied: “By logic, I should, apparently, answer - on the toilet! But, no, friends, songs are best invented on an airplane.

L'One on the impact of the Internet on youth

The Internet, according to L'One, greatly emasculates young people. Not all, but part of it loses the measure of what is permitted, and the framework virtual reality brings it directly to life. For example, it’s unpleasant when L’One suddenly becomes a “bro” for a fifteen-year-old boy, or when he goes with his wife and young son, and someone comes up and unceremoniously grabs him by the shoulders, and so on. This is not right, people should just respect each other and everyone's privacy.

Singer for the free distribution of music via the Internet. Everything has changed so globally that it makes no sense to prevent this. It makes sense to support and leave the choice to the listener. He can get acquainted and buy his music or come to his concert.

L'One and fashion

Despite the music and sports, he also got into fashion. He is the owner of his own clothing line "Cosmokot". His collections can be bought at Black Star Wear stores in Moscow, Krasnodar, Yakutsk and other Russian cities.

A fan of sneakers, he owns over 250 pairs and keeps buying them. Favorite Air Jordan XI Space Jam. Despite the fact that all rappers prefer black clothing, L'One prefers all white, including the cars that he now has or used to have.

Separately, about the tuxedo. Not only L’One, but all of its members look just “atas!” in these clothes for the “GQ” video. When asked by a Prime ONE correspondent about the musician's attitude to this style, he replies that a tuxedo for him is not a casual style. It is comfortable, but it is not at all everyday wear. This costume is more for going out, for some global events. You can wear just a suit or “troika” once a week or more often, on occasion.

L’One is an adherent of some style of his own, which he invents every morning when he opens his wardrobe. As a person who was previously involved in sports, he likes a more free style of clothing. But, of course, it is very pleasant for him to sometimes wear a tuxedo, to feel a little stricter.

L'One on what a modern man should look like

To such a question from GQ magazine, the singer replied that these were clothes in a combination of a suit with sneakers. At first, when he saw this in London, he was simply shocked, but then L’One realized how cool it was! As a rule, these are Nike sneakers. “I think that a modern man, a resident of a metropolis, should not deny himself anything and should look the way his heart desires. It can be a mixture of sports style and casual, it can be a classic suit and sports, it can be all black. The globe, it seems to me, has turned into one big cosmopolis, where frames and boundaries are erased.- says L̕ One.

L'One's relationship to celebrity and notoriety

While L’One does not consider himself a celebrity, he says that when 25-30 thousand people come to his concert, then it will be possible to say that he is really famous. At a meeting with students of the Moscow University "Synergy" to the question - what to be successful person- answered: “To be successful is already to be invited to this meeting.”

Many say that after becoming a Black Star artist, everyone immediately puts a crown on their head, catches a star, and then cars in the garage, their planes at the airport, and so on. Levan stops this enumeration, says that he already had such an opportunity more than once. But, there were always older people nearby and gave a slap on the back of the head in time. And the upbringing in the family of a Georgian does not allow him to behave inappropriately.

Yes, "Black Star" is a status, but not everyone who gets here wears this crown or feels much higher than everyone else. And what they say is the inevitable opinion of the haters.

For young people seeking recognition, L'One replies that now, in order to become famous, it is not necessary to initial stage be in the center. In the age of the Internet, you can sparkle while in the outback. Then, probably, you still have to move to Moscow. Although now there are groups that remain, for example, in Chelyabinsk or Orenburg and are quite famous. But, in general, in order to achieve the most high level recognition, you still need to be in Moscow.

L'One himself would like to get an autograph and take a picture with Mike Jordan, Kanye West.

L'One's personal life is the most interesting part of his biography

He met his wife Anya in the first year of the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting at the student parade, and after a couple of weeks he beat her off from the guy she met.

In September 2013, in one of the maternity hospitals in Moscow, they had a son, who was named Misha. It was that moment in life that brought the freshly baked father to tears. The spouses chose this name because all the Mikhails that Levan met on his life path were strong, very good and cheerful. He hopes his son will be the same when he grows up.

The singer for all nine months carefully prepared with his wife for the birth of their first child. A lot of all kinds of literature on the care of babies and the education of children was read. This, they believe, prepared the young family for any situation with a child.

"Being a father is an amazing feeling," says L'One. Due to constant touring, employment at the studio, he would like to see his family more often so that his wife and son do not feel deprived of his attention. But when he is at home with his family, he completely switches to her and let the whole world wait. He jokes that his wife is like the wife of a Decembrist, she waited and believed that he would succeed. After all, she appeared in Levan's life when he had nothing yet. About Ana, L’One says: “She is a great mother, a great friend and lover, and she knows perfectly well that if I disappear somewhere until the morning, then I'm in the studio. We know each other like flakes."

Now a lot of young girls are fond of rap. As a rule, they are quite free and liberated. Do they make any obscene proposals to Levan? To this question from a HipHopHit TV correspondent, he replied: “It happens, of course. But the thing is, I have a crush, so I try to translate it into a flirty genre, like, OK! Yes, but nothing more. Apparently the wife is jealous, according to L'One, and says that she does not give her any global reasons for jealousy.

Biography L'One

L'One (or Levan Gorozia) is a popular rap artist, founder of the Marselle group and former entertainer 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. Together they graduated from the same university in Krasnoyarsk, then my father held senior positions in forestry, and my mother worked as an accountant.

Levan Gorozia or rapper L`One

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 father in his youth participated in theatrical performances, perhaps these genes were transferred 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.

Levan Gorozia in childhood

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.

The beginning of L'One's career

His path to the media industry began with student team KVN, in which he first acted as a participant, and soon became its host.

Levan Gorozia (L`One) started with KVN and radio programs

By the age of 20, the artist hosted 2 programs on the Yakut radio channels, wrote scripts for corporate parties, and even hosted television program. Despite the fact that L’One achieved great success in its activities, it decided to try its hand in Moscow, since the limits of the small media sphere of the city had already begun to crowd it.

Studying and moving to Moscow L'One

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 (Nel), moved to the capital, where they began to rent an apartment together.

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

Rapper L`One tattoos

Levan Gorozia nevertheless entered the journalism department, but after two years full-time education, transferred to correspondence 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.

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

The salary, the young performer was not enough, so he worked in parallel in a creative agency, writing scripts for corporate parties.

Musical career L'One

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.

Levan Gorozia in the Marselle group

In 2007 the group signed a contract with the representation 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 surged after the participation of both musicians in the TV show "Battle for Respect", which was on the Muz-TV channel. There, L'One lost in the semi-finals to his bandmate Nel, who later became the finalist of the second season of the program.

However, the group began to recognize. 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 Elbows

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

L'One's personal life

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

The artist has a brother Vitaly, who is 5 years younger than him. He is an active member of KVN and accompanies Levan on tour: he leads the introductory part of the concert before the performances of L'One.

Family of Levan Gorozia (L`One)

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