Biography of Marcus Riva

Marcus Riva-musician, DJ, model, singer, after participating in the Russian show “I want to Meladze” became a real mega-star and forced thousands of lovers to cry feminine all ages. Despite the fact that in the final, Marcus did not become a winner, all the doors of the Russian show business opened before him. Glory, which fell upon the artist, did not cause stellar disease.

Marcus Riva is like, simple and touching. So far, it has not changed in any way, but everything goes on as usual. Of course, interest in me increased in Latvia and beyond. Now there is work on a Russian -speaking project. This is a huge breakthrough for me, because before the show “I want to Meladze” I hardly spoke in Russian. Now I am learning to speak and sing in Russian. One of my friends last year participated in the show "I want to" VIA-TRO ".

And she is now sings in the group. Her Russian language is much worse than mine. Is it possible that they will be friends sooner or later? The show, in which I happened to participate once again, proves that this is possible. Here, Ukrainians, Russians, and Latvians laughs, and other nationalities, and this was not an enemy clash. No, I was born in Talsey, then I lived in Sabili, then moved to Marup.

Now I live in Riga. I love Latvia, and I believe that sooner or later the whole world will know about this country. Of course not. This is a vast experience, opening the doors to the future. Work is underway on the album, and the proposals are pouring one by one. I don't even know what to choose. Now there is work on a single, which will become a hit. Here I have no doubt.

What is the difference between the show "I want to Meladze" from "Voice" and "X-factor"-there is a continuation, there are prospects. After the show, I began to listen to Russian music. And I like a lot. The fact that the Russian show business is built for commerce-complete nonsense. Of course, the material aspect is important. But still in Russian music there is a soul, there is a spark, and there are emotions.

If this required the development of my career, of course - yes. I am a very international person. I happened to live in New York. When I worked as a model, my agency entered into a contract with a New York agency.

I happened to work as a model in the city of contrasts. Here, and hurrying for time and career, purposeful people, immediately those who need help. I worked as a model, but I realized that this is not mine. There, in New York, I recorded the English-language album "Songs of New York". I want to play creativity, make music. One thing I can say-New York is a positive city, and he motivates to go forward.

Here everyone is striving for something. I think I will return to this beautiful city. Did you finish any special school? Yes, I graduated from the "Riga Home School". The school instilled in me a love of classical and jazz music. My musical addictions are multifaceted. Polina Gagarina. She is very pleasant, kind, even-primular, and as a singer and as a person.

After the second round of the show, she was a mentor of the prevailing musical team in which I sang. It's nice to deal with her. Talking with Polina, I do not feel a barrier like a friend. You were an outcast. How did you deal with this? Yes, the childhood was not simple. I was thick, with glasses, with crooked teeth. I was teased. They did not want to be friends with me.

They could even beat. It was painful and insulting. I did not share this with loved ones. I experienced everything in himself. There were thoughts about suicide. Now it’s funny to remember this, because I realized that life is beautiful in any manifestations. I did not give it to myself, not for me to take it away from my place. I really wanted to convey this through the show, as many people think about suicide.

I wanted everyone to understand that living is wonderful. How did you survive? I always knew that all the same I am special, and an interesting future awaits me. From the age of three, I knew that I would be a musician. My grandmother supported me very much. She is now interested in what is happening in my life. All my video clips, the release of Sereliti, she writes concerts on video cassettes, cuts and stores all articles from newspapers and magazines.

On the project “I want to Meladze”, I first talked about my childhood problems and internal conflicts, and I am very pleased that it gives strength to people in a similar situation. Do you communicate with them? Are you holding a grudge against them? I do not hold evil for anyone. I have forgiven everyone a long time ago. Many are trying to make friends with me, and I do not avoid communication.

But in any case, it is close to be close to those who could behave so negatively, I will no longer. But I will not hide the insult either. Well, as I said, my granny. Mom-teacher raised me well. Thanks to her, I am very disciplined. Since I had almost no friends, I studied a lot, read. It also helps me. I can rehearse and prepare for the fuckers and concerts for hours, until late at night and even until the morning.

Probably only that someday I can’t make music. Because for me this is the meaning of life. Music is everything for me. Anything, if only it was creativity. Could become a designer or artist. The girls probably stick. Of course this is so. Especially after the show "I want to Meladze." I do not always feel sincerity, but I communicate with everyone willingly.

Sweet, kind, simple, without show -offs and playfulness.It does not matter to me at all what family it will be from, from which city, what nationality and religion. The main thing that she would be sincere with me. I myself am simple and honest and do not like the theater in a relationship.
