: Igor BELAVIC
Birthdate : 08 / 03 / 77
Instrument : Solo Guitar
Born on the 08th of March 1977 in the 93, stronghold of Rap music,
his roots are Croatian. Coming from a family of musicians (his grand-father
was a great piano teacher), his parents decide to subscribe him at
the conservatoire as soon as he's 8 but he'll be fired a short time
later because singing like a gay next to a piano is not what he likes
most... After around ten years of crazy behaviors, hard-rock, video
games and other motorbikes, he decides to throw himself into guitar
training on Christmas eve 1993. At that time it's not too good to
show one's taste for heavy-metal, risking to be shot down by a local
Billy Crowford, so it's locked up in his room that he learns divine
Metal while listening to his favorite bands : Metallica, Iron Maiden,
ACDC, Stratovarius, Malmsteem etc or Jimmy Hendrix, his messiah !
Between 1997 and 1998 he abandons guitar for a while, for multiple
spiritual reasons, and then joins music again by integrating the band
Orphée in 1999. He records 2 albums with this band, "Save
Our Love" in 2000 and then "Born To Rock" in 2002.
Despite several modifications in the line-up and some internal brawls,
the band records a live album at the New Morning, along with a beautiful
girl at vocals, but musical differences will finally lead the band
to break in 2003. After this experience Igor meets Jérémie
and they play together for a couple of months before their band splits
as well. Around September 2004 Jérémie calls Igor back
and let him know about a new band that just hired him and searching
for a solo guitarist... Igor says ok and completes the line-up of
Eleventh Plague.
Igor loves his family above anything else, Brussel cabbages (especially
the next day), concerts, video games, cinema, car mecanic, his dog
and cat. Otherwise it's pretty risky to talk to him about fake artists
like Billy Crowford, the Star Academy, TV Reality in general, manipulators,
fake rebels like guys from Kyo and Céline Dion.
