Bobul was attracted by the composer Alexander Morozov, whom he joined in the composer's music center in Cherkasy. In Cherkasy, he made his first video, Ivo Bobul's Dusi Krinitsa. In 1991, Ivo returned to Chernivtsi and began singing duets with Lilia Sandulesu. In early 1998, Ivo Bobul was awarded the title of People's Artist of Ukraine.[2]
