Ivan started acting when he was just 6 years old. This was at a festival called «Gold autumn of Slavutich». He was also very active in sports. He won several awards in curling and lacrosse.

Ivan's Career Journey
In 2006, Ivan sang in a group in Moscow that performed without instruments, called an a cappella duo. But he soon decided to go back to Ukraine. He joined the Kyiv National I. K. Karpenko-Kary Theatre, Cinema and Television University to study.
Starting Para Normalnyh
Later in 2006, Ivan met Anna Dobrydneva at a concert. They decided to form a music duo together. They named their group «Para Normalnykh», which means "A Pair of Normals."
Ivan sang with Anna from 2007 to 2010. After that, Anna started working with another Ukrainian singer. In 2008, Ivan also began his TV career. He became the host of a show called Guten Morgen on the M1 channel.
Solo Success and TV Shows
In 2012, Ivan released his first solo album, "Co'N'Dorn." This album was very popular in both Russia and Ukraine. It helped him win many awards. People even called him "an idol for a new generation."
In 2014, Ivan Dorn became a judge on the fifth season of X Factor in Ukraine.
Public Actions and Opinions
In the summer of 2014, Ivan performed at the New wave music festival. He sang a Ukrainian song while wearing a sweater with the coat of arms of Ukraine on it. Many people in Ukraine liked this. However, some in Russia suggested he should be banned from performing there. He was not banned and remained popular.
Some people in Ukraine criticized Ivan for continuing to perform in Russia. This was after a conflict started between the two countries in 2014. Later, it was reported that he had secretly given $10,000 to the Ukrainian army. This helped to ease some of the criticism. However, Ivan later said in an interview that he had donated money to help regular people affected by the conflict. He said a volunteer used some of that money for army supplies, which put him in a difficult spot. He also said he wore the Ukrainian symbol at the festival to avoid criticism from his own country.
In 2016, Ivan Dorn was a coach on The Voice Ukraine. That same year, he started his own music label called Masterskaya. This label helps new Ukrainian underground artists share their music.
In June 2016, Ivan posted a map of Ukraine that included Crimea on his official Facebook page. He also shared part of the Ukrainian anthem and the words "We will win." This was to show support and calm activists who were threatening to cancel his concert in Lviv.
New Music and Film
In February 2017, Ivan released his first live album, "Jazzy Funky Dorn." This album showed how much he loves funk music.
Later in 2017, Ivan started working on his first English-language album in Los Angeles. A famous Ukrainian rock musician, Sasha Chemerov, wrote the lyrics for this album. His US debut album came out in 2017.

In June 2017, Ivan had to cancel a concert in Odesa. This was because some Ukrainian groups threatened to stop the show. They claimed he "supported the war against Ukraine."
In 2017, he won the MTV EMA for "Best MTV Russia act." He was very happy about his win, sharing it on Instagram.
In 2018, Ivan traveled to Uganda. He filmed a music video called "Afrika" with the Masaka Kids Africana dance crew. He also made a documentary about them. This project grew into a charity called AFRIKA. Its main goal is to build a dancing school for the Masaka Kids Africana in Uganda. At the end of 2018, he released a song called "Right Wrong" with Victor Solf from the band HER's.
