Four MELOVIN fans told the site how they love their idol, and he reciprocates

About a guy with colorful eyes Kostya Bocharovo Ukraine found out in 2015, when she watched him on the air of the X-Factor show for several months. Then, for the first time, the power of his loyal fan base manifested itself, which made the young artist the winner of the competition.

Unlike other participants in the talent show, Kostya did not get lost in the show business routine and a year later recalled himself. He appeared in the national selection of Eurovision 2017 - already under the pseudonym MELOVIN and with an "alien" legend. And again he almost won - the fans tried as best they could, but at the last moment O. Torvald snatched the victory. The following year, this bar was also taken: Ukraine nevertheless delegated Kostya to Eurovision 2018 in Portugal.

Having won the victory, the musician did not forget to thank his fans: it was they who brought him to the top. Frankly, his competitors had no chance - few people in Ukraine can boast of such an extensive and dedicated fan base, ready to do anything for the sake of their beloved artist. Cut off phones, send SMS and desperately campaign for MELOVIN in social networks and on the streets.

the site continues a series of materials about idols and fans. We talked with representatives of the MELOVIN fan club and found out why they consider themselves a “family”, who came up with the definition of “melovinators” and why they are so active.

How did you first hear about MELOVIN?

Karina Derizemlya : I heard the song "Wonder" in the final of the national selection of "Eurovision 2017" and immediately realized that MELOVIN would be my favorite. Then I started looking for Mel's official group on social networks and so I met other fans with whom we now continue to create in our art family.

Katya Globa : First heard on the 6th season of "X-Factor". But then she did not really understand who it was, and did not follow his work. I had more interest in him after last year's national selection.

Julia Gogol : On the 6th season of "X-Factor". With his song the then 18-year-old boy Kostya Bocharov sat down in the shower for a long time and inspired the hope that everything is possible if you want. After all, this was the third attempt by the young musician to be heard by a large audience.

Masha Dyakova : My acquaintance with the work of MELOVIN began back in 2015 during the castings of the "X-factor". Even then, he struck with his charisma, talent and unusual arrangement of the song "Without a fight" "Okeana Elzy". And for the third year now, he has been proving that he will not give up without a fight. Then, through the screen, I felt some kind of frantic energy and love for my audience and thought that this guy would obviously go far. And she was not mistaken.

What, in your opinion, is the uniqueness of MELOVIN?

Karina : First of all, in the fact that he creates his own business, without a producer, and with love for music and listeners. Yes, he has a team “Big House MELOVIN”: manager Artem, administrator Nastya and content manager Tanya. The most interesting thing is that they were brought together by their love for one beautiful singer - Lady Gaga! Now they do their job together, inspired by the Mom of Monsters ( nickname Lady Gaga - ed.), but not only.

Kate : I have yet to meet an artist who loves their audience so much. He creates for us, fully experiences everything on stage, giving us emotions, and we share the same with him. At concerts and just in his communication with us, some kind of chemistry happens, which then inspires him.

Julia : His uniqueness is in his voice, charisma, musical presentation, energy charge and inspiration. In a crazy fanatical love for his music and fans. I would call MELOVIN a phenomenon of Ukrainian show business, because the guy is promoting his project on his own, without a producer.

Masha : The uniqueness of MELOVIN is not in the lens and dyed hair, as it might seem. First of all, its features are sincerity and authenticity. MELOVIN is what he really is, and, perhaps, this is the most captivating. He often says that we - his audience - blinded him, made him. But he does not even realize how much he molds us, changes and motivates us to follow our dreams, achieve our goals. For me, this is a cosmic person and an indisputable role model.

Are you all members of the MELOVIN fan club?

Karina: I somehow do not perceive the word "fan club", I like the name "melovinators". Yes, I am the same melovinator who knows MELOVIN "from cover to cover." I live in the city of Sumy, and sometimes I have the opportunity to travel to other cities to see Mel's concerts. Distance for great love and friendship is not a hindrance!

Kate: For me, there is no concept of "fan club". There is a beautiful word "art-family". After all, we are all one big musical family. And I am a small part of it. I'm proud of it, really!

Masha: And it is a great honor for me to be in an art family, to share my love and receive no less in return.

How long has the art family existed and what does the art family do?

Karina : The history of the art family began in 2015, when MELOVIN went live on "X-Factor". Some Odessans knew him even before he appeared on television. The guy was a graduate of the StarTime production center, which organized various events. Kostya Bocharov took part in them.

Taking inspiration from the work of Mel and his team, we organize a lot of flash mobs and give him gifts. The most ambitious were the telescope, the balloon flight and the neon sign with his nickname at Eurovision. When MELOVIN gave his first tour in Ukraine, fans greeted him with black and white balloons with the BHM logo ( short for "Big House MELOVIN" - ed.). Mel notices all our efforts, gives us as much time as possible, and we really appreciate it in him! Not every artist is ready to communicate with their audience.

The peculiarity of the melovinators is that even if one of us is passing through your city with a stop for 20 minutes, you still run to the station to see each other and hug!

Kate : Our “family” has existed for about 3 years and is growing every day. And it pleases. After all, our Artist does not stand still, he develops, writes music, motivates people! If his audience expands, it means that he is interesting to people and it is not in vain that he does everything.

We are very friendly, we communicate with each other constantly, we come up with ways to surprise MELOVIN and everyone around us. The same neon sign at Eurovision 2018 is our common gift.

Masha : The fan club is a synthesis of love, courage and freedom, and it is these three words that MELOVIN has immortalized in the form of a tattoo. Our activity consists in insane faith and support both in relation to the idol and to each other. However, we do not stop there.

For example, during the national selection of Eurovision, we carried out the baton through the cities: we pasted up campaign posters and handed out leaflets to passers-by with an offer to listen to the MELOVIN song and not remain indifferent during the voting. Perhaps this also contributed to the final result.

Are there many participants in the art family? Including from other countries?

Karina : MELOVIN has a lot of listeners, as the voting results of the two Eurovision selections showed. Our family includes people from all over the world: Spain, England, Switzerland, America, Belarus, Russia, Moldova, Lithuania, Poland. And people from these countries are even ready to go after him.

People from Crimea, Uzhgorod, Sumy, Kharkov, Lvov, Odessa, Dnipro, Ivano-Frankovsk, Brovary, Boryspil, Zhitomir, Kherson, Kropyvnytskyi, Lutsk came to the presentation of the debut album "Face to Face". The peculiarity of melovinators is that even if one person is passing through your city with a stop for 20 minutes, you still run to the station to see each other and hug!

Julia : There are many of us and every day there are more and more. There are many guys from the CIS countries, and after winning the Eurovision national selection, an English-speaking audience was added in the comments. The love for MELOVIN's music is so strong that the melovinators came from different cities especially for the final of the national selection. One of the girls flew in from Switzerland!

Who came up with the name "melovinators"?

Karina : Invented by MELOVIN himself. Thus, he created a “roof” over our heads for our family. Many people may not like this word because of the association with "terminators", but in English it sounds much softer.

I think that after some time there will be even more of us. And then they will know about us as the best fan base of the best artist

Kate : We really like it, and Kostya himself says that for him the melovinators are the strongest people who push him and force him to do something.

Do you often meet and hold any promotions?

Karina : In every city there are people who not only communicate on the Internet, but also meet for live communication. Some go to another city just to meet and talk. It happened to me too, I went to see my friend in Odessa. In the evenings we walked along the embankment wrapped in a flag with the inscription MELOVIN and sang his songs.

Kate : We meet with MELOVIN himself less often, as he has more and more work to do. But we are not upset, because we know that at this very moment Kostya can sit and write a new song for us. And if we are talking about meetings between fans, then yes - we often go out together.

Julia : We gather in a "small army" in a cafe for a cup of tea and exchange creative ideas. Kilometers are not obstacles! For example, melovinators from seven cities gathered on New Year's Eve: Kiev, Odessa, Izmail, Sumy, Kharkov, Lvov and Uzhgorod. Each one composed a line from a verse, recorded it on camera and sent it to the MELOVIN mailbox to show that wherever we are, we are an art family and support. Mel was shocked by this preparation and insanely grateful.

If not for him, now I would be studying to be a lawyer and would live boring everyday life. But I realized that my life is only in my hands. And now I'm studying to be a journalist

Masha : Probably, this does not happen as often as we would like. But each city has its own company of melovinators who are friends, communicate with each other and unite to carry out various actions. I think that after some time there will be even more of us, and then the inhabitants of all cities will know about us as the best fan base of the best artist. But, of course, Kiev is the center of all meetings; melovinators from different cities and countries come here. We are a friendly family.

Do you have your own unusual story related to MELOVIN?

Karina : I have a lot of such stories, but my favorite is connected with the flag that I presented to the artist at the presentation of the album on December 7 last year at the SENTRUM club. This flag means a lot to me, I sewed it for my first solo concert in Kiev on May 26, 2017 at the Bel'Etage club. Then I came to my friends in Kiev for the first time, it was raining, and we ran through streams and puddles, covering ourselves with it.

After a while I was lucky enough to attend the “Favorite of Success” award ceremony. Then I wanted to give this flag to Mel, but, as luck would have it, I forgot it at the hotel. Then this flag went with me to Odessa, I brought it there to energize. Odessa is an incredible city, somewhat mystical. In the evenings with the fans, we walked wrapped in a flag, sang songs and took pictures. Then there was a summer festival in the town of Trostyanets in the Sumy region - there we loaded the flag with the musical energy of the northeastern corner of Ukraine.

This flag was with me always and everywhere, a lot of memories and emotions are associated with it. And on December 7, at the presentation of the album, Mel covered his piano with this flag, and at the end he raised it and bowed. The way I squealed with joy was probably heard throughout Kiev. This day was the most emotional in my life, I am very happy that I got into this art family, and I am grateful to MELOVIN and his team for the fact that they kindle love and faith in our hearts!

Kate : There are no such stories to count. But the most memorable for me is how I visited MELOVIN backstage. At the concert-presentation of his debut album "Face to Face" I gave him a picture - his portrait made of nails and threads. He was very impressed by this, he invited me to his dressing room, where we talked and took a photo for memory.

Julia : My most memorable story is when, after the announcement of the results of the semi-final selection of Eurovision 2018, we were waiting for him with the guys and sang "Under The Ladder". Mel came out to us and began to sing along.

Masha : MELOVIN became a man who changed my life drastically. He showed by his example that in spite of everything, you need to go to your dream, do what you love and believe in yourself. If it were not for him, now I would be studying to be a lawyer, as my parents dreamed, and would have lived boring everyday life. But I insisted on my own and realized that my life is only in my hands and only I can change it. Studying to be a journalist and working, enjoying every minute.

Perhaps someday I will have an interesting story with MELOVIN and I will interview him. But so far I have happy memories from concerts, fan meetings and mountains of motivation for new achievements.

At the age of 4, Kostya's grandmother presented him with a gift - a music box with Beethoven's composition "To Eliza", which forever won the boy's heart. Every minute she believed in her grandson's talent. At all events, the singer carries with him grandmother's beads - this is his talisman for good luck.

Soon, my mother took Kostya to dance, and he, having got into the creative environment, realized that he was also interested in other areas. He began to sing in the school choir. He was the only boy who took part in theatrical performances. He began to compose poetry, write scripts.

Kostya studied at the secondary school number 27 in Odessa. In his school years, he was not a bully, however, he studied poorly - he was not a poor student, but he did not reach a good student either. Exact sciences were hard for him. He did not even try to understand mathematics and physics. But he was brought up so that he did not perceive the assessment as something important. The final and at the same time entrance exams Konstantin failed to pass the first time. Surprisingly, he was imbued with chemistry, he is fond of this science to this day.

Since 2009 he studied at the school of the National Theater "Gems". Stelmakh Maria Grigorievna became his first teacher. His second teacher in acting was the "Masks Show" actress Natalya Evgenievna Buzko.

Women have made a huge contribution to the development of the artist. Bocharov became the winner of festivals and competitions, he was constantly invited to the role of the leading city events. All this time he wrote music and songs, went to auditions for television projects.

In 2012, the guy graduated with honors from drama school. In the same year, he got a job as an assistant administrator on the set of the series "The Longest Day".

A year later, the pseudonym “Melovin” was “born” and the creative team “Big House Melovin” was formed. As Konstantin himself says, this name is a compilation of the word “Halloween” and the name of the designer Alexander McQueen. In 2015, the young man entered the Kiev Institute of Music named after R. M. Glier.

Melovin, what's wrong with the eye - pathology or image

In fact, Kostya is all right with his eyes and vision, but is it easy for a gray-eyed guy to stand out from the crowd? Then he came up with this trick with lenses. Gray, green and blue lenses are used, for one or two eyes - the main thing is that they differ in color from one another. Kostya says that he put on the lenses for the first time for two hours. And then he dyed his hair, becoming a platinum blonde, and then dyed his hair in two colors - blond and crow's wing.
