[4] Ivanishvili went on to begin his music career officially in 2010, working with producers such as Rodney Jerkins, and later released his debut single "My Favourite Things" in 2011.
[11] Ivanishvili married Georgian model and fashion blogger Nanuka Gudavadze in November 2018 in an Orthodox service at Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta, after having dated for several months and gotten engaged that September.
[17][18] In 2021, phone recordings became public that appeared to implicate current government officials of Georgia in attempts to track and intimidate people, including minors, who had been dismissive of Bera Ivanishvili and his music on social media.
[17][18] Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, a close confidant of Bera's father, is heard encouraging the retributions on the covertly recorded tapes.
[19] Ivanishvili and the ruling Georgian Dream party claimed that conversations were faked and audio recordings (which were then edited) were illegally obtained by the previous government (now opposition) in 2010 - a time when Bera was himself a minor and his father had not yet entered politics.
[22] Non-governmental organization Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center pointed out that the audio shows "the extremely severe forms of dismantling state institutions".
