Alexander Ivanov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ивано́в, IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsandr ɪvɐˈnof]; Belarusian: Алякса́ндр Івано́ў, łacinka: Alaksandar Ivanoŭ, born 29 October 1994), also known as Ivan, is a Belarusian-Russian singer. He represented 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]
It was reported in the Belarusian media that Ivanov intended to perform his entry naked with two wolves on stage. His producer tried to get permission to get wolves on stage, considering the "no live animals" policy of the competition.[3][4] Organizers didn't allow either request, but the presentation included animated scenes of wolves appearing on screen. Ivanov performed his song "Help You Fly" on 12 May 2016 in Eurovision's second semi-final, but failed to qualify to the 14 May 2016 final.
Beginning on February 12, 2023, Alexander Ivanov appeared on the weekly television show Маска (The Masked Singer) on the Russian NTV channel. He sang under the Caterpillar mask. He was eliminated as a contestant on the April 23rd, 2023 show, and he removed his Caterpillar mask to reveal his true identity. He then performed a reprise of his song『Le Temps des cathédrales』from episode 3 of Маска (The Masked Singer) show.
