His stage personality of Verka Serduchka is a rather extravagant and flamboyant woman. Under this disguise Andriy has been performing since the early 1990s. This stage name was invented by Andriy for the KVN student humor contest, combining the randomly picked first name Verka with the real last name of his former school classmate Anya Serduk.[1][2] Apart from pop and dance numbers Andriy lately began to appear under his real name performing ambient musical compositions.

He was chosen to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" in Helsinki, Finland, finishing in second place.

Ukraine was automatically put in the final thanks to the top-ten finish of last year's Ukrainian representative Tina Karol with the song "Show Me Your Love". The song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" is sung in 4 languages: German, English, Ukrainian and Mongolian (although a Mongol claimed that there is no phrase "Lasha Tumbai" in their language).

Participation of Andriy Danylko in Eurovision was not without controversy in Ukraine. One of the all-nation FM radio stations organized in February an action of protest to express their disapproval with the selection of Serduchka to represent the country. Some Ukrainians and even members of the Ukrainian Parliament expressed their disapproval with Serduchka's participation in the contest, which they see as a "grotesque and vulgar.

Danylko is known to be not too talkative about his personal life, but he stated that he has lived with a woman for 8 years, though that it was a hard experience for him, and after the breakup he became more creative again.
