Life

Andrij Danylko comes from a humble background. In primary school , shy Andrij promised his classmate Anna Serdjuk to make her name famous one day. With the pseudonym "Serduchka", a diminutive of the girl's surname, he kept his promise.

In 1997 he got a leading role as "Verka Serduchka" in a comedy talk show on Ukrainian television. The show also gained some notoriety in Russia and Belarus .

Andrij Danylko mostly sings on Suržik .

Eurovision Song Contest

In the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki Andrij Danylko represented the Ukraine as Verka Serduchka with the title Dancing Lasha Tumbai and took second place.

The meaningless text passage Lasha Tumbai was understood by many listeners as a Russia goodbye . Danylko claims that the acoustic similarity is accidental and that a statement directed against Russia is not intended. Numerous concert and festival organizers nevertheless refused to let Danylko perform. Danylko himself suspects that this is caused by circles of the first Russian national television channel , who are jealous of his success in the singing competition.

Others

In 2015 Danylko played his star role as Verka Serduchka in the movie Spy - Susan Cooper Undercover .
