Biography
Now Ukrainian musicians produce in demand global pop music - Svetlana Loboda, Ivan Dorn, Vera Brezhnev, Christmas tree and monk confirmation. A separate niche in a foreign assortment is taken by Dakooka, it is Catherine Eremenko, whose songs are the quintessence of the early Alina Orlova's early Alina and the vulgar Molly.Childhood and youth
Ekaterina Eremenko was born on November 29, 1993 in Chernovtsy, Ukraine. Now, living in Kiev, the singer remembers his hometown as a cozy little nest, but in childhood Chernivtsi seemed Catherine a huge world. Music was saved from frightening reality - the girl herself asked her parents to take her to the piano lessons.
By 14 years, Ekaterina sang in the choir of the music school. The teacher was also a Khommester of the Baptist Church Association. Once a woman suggested disciples for the sake of interest to look at the classes. As Dakooka remembers, she went to the rehearsal 3 times and realized that the music was not close to her. But from there, the girl took the lessons of polyphony.
"From there I learned that you can make cool teks, write down a lot of vocal tracks - and all this will be cool, atmospheric sound," says Dakooka in an interview.At 16, Ekaterina Eremenko joined electronic music. Her friend composed compositions in the Dram-N-Base genre, which played a key role in the biography of the singer. Young people produced joint songs, went to Raiva and even themselves, even minors, organized musical parties in Chernivtsi.
"Free" music dictated the rules of behavior, therefore, from the 9th grade Catherine Kurila and drink alcohol. From addiction to Nicotine, the singer almost got rid of, only when comes to his native city, allows himself a cigarette.
After graduating from the musical and secondary school, Eremenko, as her mother wanted, entered the National University of Food Technologies in Kiev. After several attempts to master the "serious" profession, Dakooka surrendered and took the documents, deciding entirely to devote himself to creativity.
Music
At the age of 18, Dakooka, inspired by failures in his personal life, wrote the first song "Melci, if you don't love me." People who are not familiar with Catherine's creativity believe that this track belongs to Alina Orlova.The compositions were copied, in 2015, lies in the full debut plate "Radha", named after the Goddess of Love in Hinduism. What has been texts and melodies in the head, for 3 days in the Ternopil Studio "Schital Records" turned into an independent album. The playlist includes 11 songs in English, including "Someone and No One", "Better Be Alone", "Coffee", and one on Polish - "Mnie Nie Ma".
The pseudonym was born easily: Catherine called Friends, and the "yes" prefix appeared when it was necessary to change the name of the postal address. British songs could not fulfill Dakuka, so the girl translated to Latin - Dakooka.
Radha got into the top 15 Ukrainian albums according to the Internet blog Lirom. Dakooka, having received the approval of listeners and critics, decided to move on. In part on the jerk, Ivan Dorn pushed her, on the fact of the discoverer of the Ukrainian pop for the Russian and world listener.
"Dorn got out and said:" I will do what I want. " He turned out. And all such: oh, it means that we will also succeed, "it shares Catherine with thoughts in an interview.In July 2016, Dakooka, sincerely believing in the idea that you can be popular and with the "free" music, released a mini-album "Very fun with my friends" with 4 tracks in Russian: "About friends", "If I yes again Born, "Truck" and "Lilk Cozat".
As a rule, unique performers who broadcast the world tracks in the genre of Vitch House, underground, and so on, rarely seek television, but Dakooka in 2017 made an attempt to storm the show "Voice of the country". On the "blind auditions", the girl performed the romance "I was driving home." Of the 4 members of the jury, only Potap turned to a timid voice, then he took the Ukrainian to the team.
Catherine had a chance to speak at one concert - Usu N'Dur Ususu Nadur in the "knockouts" stage did not convince the Potap to leave the girl in the team. On the video of the speech it is clear that Eremenko was terribly afraid: the hands went to the chance, the voice trembled and broke on half the phrase. But in this episode (No. 10), the performer, which previous stages of the "voice of the country" took place in the mask, finally showed her face.
The failure on the project served as a creative shower for Dakooka. In November 2017, the performer presented a mini-album "Gordo", which included 6 songs, and in the middle of 2018 - a full-fledged plate "Hero".
The track list "Hero" begins with the quotation of Joseph Brodsky "Do not go out of the room, do not make a mistake" and continues to the promise of the songs: "Promise", "you know", "Come on", "forever." As opposed to calm compositions on the photo for the cover of Dakooka is depicted beaten. This creative move performer explained:
"There are no heroes without injury, at least one."Dakooka clips are a separate work of art. The girl can act in the cadre gentle ("come out of the water dry"), who is "knock"), stylish ("promise"). She mostly likes the video series for the song "Sea".
On August 3, 2018, Catherine replenished the discography with a mini-album "Form", which due to the dance rhythm is the complete opposite of the "hero". The track list includes 5 compositions in Russian.
