Ivan Maksimilianov-Shvinnskiy
Ivan Eduardovich Maksimilianov-Khopskiy (Иван Едуардович Максимилианов-Хопский, b. 1667), better known as Hopsy, is a Mishalanese–Shirerithian singer, dancer, model, and nobleman. Son of singer/politician Evgeniya Sotnikova, Viscountess of Hope, to the peerage of which he is the heir apparent. Released his first album (self-titled Hopsy) in 1684 at the age of 17, his label Grand Dust Takin marketed it as a modern and trendy form of Shirerithian hiphop. In the music videos and media presences, he wears trendy colourful Natopian clothes with a democratic middle-class touch. He has also modelled for Elwynnese fashion brands.
Although Mishalanese, his songs are mostly in Istvanistani for an international appeal. Critics have called the music lacklustre, claiming that his appeal stems from his boyish good looks and dancing routines. Girl fan groups have formed across the Raspur Pact around him, calling themselves "Hopers".
His album Hopsy was a large hit in Shireroth, Talenore, Sathrati, and Elwynn. It has been released also across the Raspur Pact.
