The Project

"The Project" was started at the beginning of 2006. However the band's songs have already gained popularity in Belarus and are played by the radio stations of USA, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine and some other states. The musicians say that "S.u.p.e.r. s.t.a.r" composition performed at "EuroFest" shouldn't be taken seriously. The basic idea is in irony and absurd. "The Project" paid special attention to bright show and performance. There hasn't been such Belarus at the contest yet!

Dmitry Koldun

Dmitry Koldun. The name of this young and attractive performer is on the tongues of the youth. Dima was a winner of the famous "Star Factory 6". His main principal in life is integrity and sincerity in relations with the audience and Dmitry tries to always keep his word. Dmitry's life credo is "Koldun, you are the best!" Dmitry appreciates intellect and charm in women. Yet he doesn't like hot-tempered and forth-putting girls. In childhood he dreamt to become a surgeon. Now his dream is a personal studio. His song for the selection round of "Eurofest" is called "Dream Angel".

Diana Gurtskaya

In childhood Diana Gurtskaya used to sing for her family and relatives and than she started singing for her classmates. She learned to play the piano and graduated from a music school in Tbilisi. Diana gave her first public concert when she was 10. Her sensitive manner of performance impressed the audience of Tbilisi Philharmonics. The next morning Gurtskaya was a celebrity. Vivid talent and longing for perfection helped Diana to study for a pop singer in Gnesin Music School. After graduating from it Diana took up an independent career in pop music. Her vocal talent is admired not only in Russia, but also in many countries of the world. Her song for the selection round of "Eurofest" is called "How Long".
