Cornelia Mango, one of the brightest graduates of the once popular TV show on Channel One, continues to delight her fans to this day and is not going to leave the star Olympus.
The childhood of the singer
On April 24, 1986, the future star of Russian show business, Cornelia Donato Mango, was born. She was born in Astrakhan, her father was a student from Lisbon Donato Mango, and her mother was a nurse, Dilara Bekbulatova.
After receiving his diploma, Donato was forced to return to his homeland in Portugal, although he called Dilara with him. However, the girl refused to give up everything - family, career and friends. She stayed to live in Russia and raise little Cornelia. His father, after some time, married in his homeland and soon Cornelia had half-brother and sister. Mom also gave Cornelia a brother, Nariman, who in the future connected his profession with directing by entering VGIK.
A small child with dark skin and short black hair, with a wonderful surname Mango, was not deprived of attention at school. However, the girl was withdrawn and did not succumb to contact and provocations. She even had thoughts that she was taken into the family from an orphanage.
But adolescence made its own adjustments to the character and behavior of Cornelia. She began to pay attention to painting, and from music she preferred to listen to rap singers. This style was reflected in her clothes - sports kits, wide pants, men's shirts.
After fifteen years, the girl began to move away from the "boy" style in clothes and devote more time to her femininity and bright colors.
In her majority, she finally saw her father live, having arrived in Portugal. Acquaintance with the second half of the family had a positive effect on the state of Cornelia. She received a lot of attention from her father's family, became imbued with his culture and even adopted it in her style of clothing.
Upon arrival in her homeland, the girl decided, after graduating from the art school, to go to Moscow, which beckoned her with its colors. The problem with work and money disappeared at one time quickly, when in one of the clubs in the capital, an art manager invited the girl to pass a casting for the role of a dancer. However, at the screening, Cornelia demonstrated her vocal abilities, after which she instantly became a resident of the club and worked almost every evening as a singer, not forgetting about her dancing skills.
Factory life
Cornelia got to the "Star Factory-7" thanks to her mother, who advised her daughter to go through the casting. At first, the future star doubted, and then finally decided and successfully passed all the tests proposed by the producers. After them, Cornelia with the rest of the contenders for the first place settled in the "Star House" and began to take part in reporting concerts.
It was on the project itself that the girl began a semi-serious relationship with the oldest member of the "Factory" - Mark Tishman. At one time, they even played a comic wedding on a television project. However, after all the musical tests, losing in the final to Anastasia Prikhodko and two groups "Yin-Yang" and "BiS", the couple broke up.
After the project and the tour, Cornelia Mango began to appear at an enviable frequency in many shows with TV stars. She successfully and joyfully passed tests in the projects "The Last Hero", "Big Races", "Cruel Intentions", "Hipsters Show", "Dancing with the Stars", etc.
The singer cannot be seen on the huge venues in Moscow and Russia, she works in small clubs, concert halls with orchestras and at parties. Performs compositions in the style of "Soul" and "R'n'B". Also records and releases singles and duets. In addition, she does not forget about her art education and regularly organizes exhibitions of her paintings in Moscow, Astrakhan and Lisbon - in three cities that have become her relatives.
Personal life
After the television novel, Cornelia linked her life with Vj Ivan Traore, whom she met at Eurovision 2009. At one time they lived under the same roof, but soon parted. For a certain period of time they kept in touch, but the destroyed boat, which had crashed into everyday life, could not be repaired.
On the show "I can!" the singer met twenty-year-old beatboxer Bogdan Durdem and they began an affair that continues to this day. The couple is not embarrassed by the age gap - eight years. Bogdan took his girlfriend to Crimea, where he introduced her to her parents and made a romantic marriage proposal. In 2016, young people got married and continued to build their personal lives.
Cornelia is an active user of the Instagram social network, where she pleases her fans with new pictures and works, and also gives rise to rumors. For almost two years, subscribers discussed the fact of the singer's pregnancy after the publication of a photo of a little black girl, however, Cornelia rapidly lost weight and reduced the talk about the child to nothing. For a while, the subject of conversation was the renovation of the apartment of Bogdan and Cornelia, and then she again surprised her fans with a parody of Olga Buzova's clip "Little Halves", especially for which she even changed her hairstyle.
In addition to her main activity, Cornelia Mango teaches step aerobics, rollerblading, skiing and windsurfing.
