SMIRNOV’s story is a story to tell!
“Typical Russian wonder!” That’s what the local newspapers say about Ivan Smirnov and his new project SMIRNOV as a result of an incredible journey from the winters of Russia to the center of L.A. music scene. All the best that is in mainstream rock right now, is in SMIRNOV! Fast explosive tracks, powerful ballads, catchy tunes, drama and drive designed to reach millions – all that is Ivan’s music, as colorful as his own life.
Born in Saint Petersburg and raised in a small city a few hundred miles from Moscow, Ivan was heavily influenced by the American/British rock scene and started writing his own material in English at the age of 8. While studying classical piano, Ivan also picked up the guitar and by the age of 19 he had an independent self-produced album under his belt. Going international was always his dream. This dream finally drove him to pursue his career nowhere else, but the entertainment capitol of the world – Los Angeles! His friends thought that this penniless 19 year old student was just joking. But after twelve thousand miles and obstacles Ivan finally made it to Hollywood! His explosive performances, unique vocal style and enormous talent quickly gained this Russian wonder respect among fellow musicians. Ivan has worked with producers such as Nataraj Tribino (George Michael, Maroon 5 etc), Robb Vallier (Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi etc), J.O.T.S. Productions who helped him produce his demo EP. A new face of rock has emerged! With kick-ass shows at top Hollywood clubs (The Derby, Viper room, The Cat club, The GIG etc), dedicated fans in different parts of the planet, songs played on many independent radio stations and broadcasted all over the world, SMIRNOV is ready for SUCCESS!
