Alexander Ivanov (Russian: Александр Иванов; Belarusian: Аляксандр Іваноў, born 29 October 1994), also known as Ivan, is a Belarusian-Russian singer. He will represent Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Help You Fly". Ivanov was also to represent Russia in the Intervision Song Contest 2015 but the contest never happened.[1][2]
Eurovision 2016
It was reported in the Belarusian media that Ivanov intends to perform his entry naked with two wolves on stage. In order to receive a permission to get wolves on stage, his producer is negotiating with contest organisers in Stockholm, as no live animals are permitted on stage.[3][4] However, some people are claiming that is a 'joke'. But EBU are thinking about it, as nudity isn't allowed (an example of this can be found in Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with Germany's backing dancer/stripper.
Personal life
His great-grandmother was Moldovan.[5]
