Life before group participation

Music Leonid Tereshchenko loved from early childhood. He still pretended to act from the stage. After his mother found him doing such a thing, she decided to give it to a music school. Leonid received a full musical education, graduating from the Mogilev Conservatoire.

Leonid Tereshchenko himself believes that it was this work that gave him the most necessary experience, thanks to which, he achieved popularity now. However, in his asset there are several victories at the prestigious artists' competitions, which he won during his studies. All together, Leonid allowed to become an excellent composer.

Why IOWA

In 2009, the IOWA group appeared. Its name is explained in many ways. Someone connects him with the state of Iowa, which was never visited by Leonid Tereshchenko, others consider these words an abbreviation, a slang expression of American teenagers and the nickname of soloist Catherine. Even the musicians themselves give different definitions to their names.

The popularity of the group was brought exactly by Leonid, because he created music that combines R & B, pop and jazz. Soon, a new direction, created by Leonid, gave a fresh name to indie pop. To date, a large number of teams are trying to imitate this group, but so far their hits on popularity have not been managed by any of the young performers.

What principles does Leonid follow?

Many do not even know that the "gray cardinal" of the IOWA group is Leonid Tereshchenko. His biography for the most part is a mystery, since he does not like to expose his personal life for show. According to the musician, fans should discuss his work.

More willingly the young man shares his life credo. Basically they say that one must love one's work and be simpler. Leonid was very pleased to learn that some of the famous pop stars shared his views and tried not to advertise personal life, and with young performers, the stage masters for the most part are friendly.

The personal life of a musician

Despite the fact that for the most part information about what kind of person Leonid Tereshchenko is closed, the musician's personal life in the autumn of 2015 has ceased to be a secret for seven seals. In October, the press published photos from Leonid's wedding and the soloist of Catherine's group. Many attributed the couple romance, but young people mostly joked about this topic.

As it turned out, Katya and Leonid already lived together for a long time, just did not advertise their relationship. Sympathy between them arose even at the first stages of work in the group. Later they came together, but for many years they hid their relations, because they did not want everyone to discuss them. A close friend of Katya said that in the eyes of loved ones they had been husband and wife for a long time, that's why entering into an official marriage was a matter of time. Even before the wedding, the press knew that the girl was going to a wedding. The media actively discussed her dress and plans for a honeymoon, but the ceremony was missed. They learned about it after the page of the singer in the social network.
