As part of the group, the girl recorded the album “Evening with Diana.” The nickname was chosen in honor of the singer Diana Ross. In 1992, she began performing under the pseudonym “Diana” as a solo performer.
Then, until 1999, she released six records, an album of remixes, a collection of songs “The Best of Diana”, and went on tour. Then, stopping solo performances, Irina left with Vyacheslav for Germany, where the idea of a new musical project appeared.
Returning to Moscow, Nelson and Tyurin created a new group, Reflex, recording the debut single “Far Light”. Real fame came to the group in 2001, after the release of the song “Go Crazy,” which instantly took the first lines of all the leading charts in Russia and the CIS, including the Eurohit Top 40 chart of Radio Europe Plus.
In November 2002, the Reflex group received its first Golden Gramophone in the Kremlin for the song “Go Crazy,” which became a truly folk song and the calling card of Irina Nelson and the REFLEX group. In the same year, the singer and Vyacheslav Tyurin formed the REFLEXMUSIC label, which subsequently released albums by the group Reflex.
A year later, on the basis of the new label, work began on the group’s fifth album, called “Non-Stop”. The result of the efforts exceeded all expectations: songs from the album “Non-Stop” did not go out of rotation on radio stations for two years.
In December 2005, Reflex entered the top five favorite pop groups of Russians according to the results of a vote ordered by the International Talent Agency. In the same year, the hit “Dancing” was among the top three winners of the Golden Gramophone. During these years, the group released a number of videos that gained popularity among viewers of music channels: “First Time”, “I will always wait for you”, “Stars have fallen”, “Love”.

Nelson became the first Russian performer to enter the American Billboard chart, leaving behind many world stars. Her name appeared on the 35th place of this chart just six months after the start of the song Sunrise in Los Angeles.

In 2021, Irina Nelson gave fans a new song, “Talk to Me.” In addition to songs in Russian and English, the singer became interested in singing mantras, which she recorded for yoga classes. The public loved these chants so much that Irina gave a concert together with ethnic musician Vladimir Muranov. Her passion for yoga ultimately created the conditions for Irina to open her own health project, Life 108. This project and all the positive transformations the path to which will help you achieve is dedicated to and based on mastering the techniques, spiritual and physical, of Kundalini yoga.
