Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and raised in Vologda, a small city a few hundred miles

from Moscow, Ivan Smirnov was heavily influenced by the American/British rock scene and started writing his

own musical material in English at the age of 8. While studying classical piano for five years, Ivan also

picked up interest in the guitar and by the age of 19 he had an independent, self-produced album under his

belt. Inspired by legendary artists like John Lennon, Freddy Mercury, David Bowie, Steven Tyler, and Russian

classical composers, Ivan strived to immortalize his feelings in his music and create a new feeling of rock

for his followers. He later called it ‘Blitz-Rock’.

In February 2014, ‘Privet Earth’ were ranked as # 1 Rock band in the World, according to Reverbnation charts,

and have become # 1 Reverbnation Artist in the World in ALL GENRES in March 2014! we played 4 songs from his
