Career
Ivana’s father worked along the Black Sea coast with his orchestra. One night, their singer got sick and his daughter Ivana had to sing several Bulgarian folklore songs in place of her. Ivana was perfect. She was immediately offered to perform with the orchestra for the summer. She was 14 years old and really liked being on the stage. After that she made a female formation called "Prima +", including her, Stoqna and Rumen Radoinov. The group was invited to sing at the hotel estate `Prikazkite` (translation: "The tales"). Ivana’s talent was noticed by the owner of the musical company Payner – Mitko Dimitrov(Bulgarian: Митко Димитров). He offered her a contract. Vanya Todorova Kaludova became Ivana and the hits started to appear one by one. Her first song is `Idol`, the second one, a duet with the male singer Kosta Markov, was `Darvo bez koren`(A tree without roots). Her third single became a real hit – `100 patrona` (100 bullets). The debut album was named after this song. She came to prominence and fame with that album, released in 2000. In the next 8 years Ivana became the biggest Bulgarian star. She is also known as "the singer of the people", not only because she is loved by many, but also for her cheerful manner while communicating with her fans.
