As stated in the biography of D. Bilan on his official website, “on the very first day of his life, the baby found himself drawn into a serious intrigue. Since he had a distinctly Caucasian appearance, Nina Dmitrievna began to fear that she, the only Russian woman in the maternity hospital, had had her son replaced, accidentally confused with some other newborn. Fortunately, the obstetricians dispelled her doubts and reassured her.”

Dima Bilan in childhood

When the boy was one year old, the family moved to Naberezhnye Chelny. Five years later, Dmitry’s parents moved to the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, to the city of Maisky.

While studying in the fifth grade of high school, Vitya (aka the future Dima) entered a music school, from which he graduated in the accordion class. Young Dima Bilan was an active participant in various music competitions and festivals. The talented young man was able to take first place in the “Young Voices of the Caucasus” competition. Then D. Bilan became a laureate of various festivals, including the “Morning Star” in the Stavropol region.

In 1998, Dima Bilan (then Vitya Belan) came to Moscow to participate in the Chunga-Changa festival, dedicated to children's creativity and thirty years of joint activity Yuri Entin And David Tukhmanov. And again the award - the young performer received a diploma from Joseph Kobzon.

At the end of October 2003, Bilan’s debut album entitled “I am a night hooligan” was released.

But together with a new team, headed by Yana Rudkovskaya, Bilan resolved the conflict and since 2008 took a pseudonym as his official name. By the way, the singer did not choose the name Dima by chance: Dmitry was the name of Bilan’s grandfather, whom he loved very much. Since childhood, the singer said that he wanted to be called Dima.

Biography, life story of Dima Bilan

Bilan Dima Nikolaevich is a Russian singer.

About the name

The real name of the performer is Viktor Nikolaevich Belan. The sonorous and memorable pseudonym was taken at the very beginning of the singer’s career, and in the summer of 2008 Dima changed all his documents and officially became Dima Viktorovich Bilan.

Childhood

Dima Bilan was born on December 24, 1981. His childhood was spent in Karachay-Cherkessia, and when Dima was one year old, the whole family, consisting of four people, moved to the city of Naberezhnye Chelny in the Republic of Tatarstan to live with his grandmother.

“There I went to kindergarten with my sister, but unlike her, I didn’t appear there often, since there was a wonderful opportunity to stay at home. My madly loving grandmother looked with tenderness at my tricks, for which I had to stand in the corner in the garden!”.

It was at this time that everyone noticed the boy’s extraordinary musical abilities. At the age of six, Dima and his family moved again, but this time to Kabardino-Balkaria, where he and his sister went to school. There he took part in celebrations, where he read poems and sang songs.

“And in the second grade I received my first applause... in the school cafeteria during lunch: in the midst of a big break, I suddenly stood up and sang “The Beautiful Is Far Away.” Gradually the noise died down and even those whom I had just bullied stared at me with their mouths open. The song ended and after a second pause the silence was broken by applause.”.

School of Music

A few months later, a teacher from a local music school came to the class with a request to audition the students. Delighted with Dima’s performance of “A Birch Tree Stood in the Field,” she declared that the boy should definitely go study music. But his parents wanted an “earthly” and in-demand profession for him, so his musical education did not begin immediately. When Dima was in fifth grade, he was immediately accepted into a music school, but his parents' permission was necessary. Here my sister helped, deciding to keep up with him, and the parents had to come to terms. So Bilan began studying accordion and also became a soloist in a children's choir.

Then there were children's competitions, festivals, regional concerts and other paraphernalia of a budding singer. While studying in the tenth grade, the artist first visited Moscow to participate in the Chunga-Changa festival, dedicated to children's creativity and the thirtieth anniversary of the joint activity of Yuri Entin and David Tukhmanov.

Dima recalled his first visit to the capital with horror: “Everything is new, unknown, no one met, cold, snow and rain, a whole day of wandering looking for the address of the festival”. The ten-day program was filled with excitement, meetings and joyful experiences. Dima received his diploma from the hands, after which he had to return home. But a month later, on the eve of 1999, an unexpected invitation came from the girl Alla, whom she met at the festival, to celebrate the New Year in the capital. The next trip to Moscow took place after graduating from high school and music school, when Bilan went to enter the school. Gnessins in vocal class. The aspiring singer lived with Alla for two years, but in his second year he left home to live in a dormitory. At night, the artist had to work part-time at the United Colors Of Benetton store, in the morning he had to study, and at the same time, realize his creative desires. It was a difficult period.

Meeting with Yu. Aizenshpis

While studying in my third year, at the YES! Dima and his friend and classmate (who later won the “Star Factory”) meet Yuri Aizenshpis. “I realized that this was an opportunity that could not be missed and I just started singing - they paid attention to me. Knowing that there are thousands of people like me, one way or another, Yuri Shmilevich left me his phone number.”. Later they met at the studio, where the composition “Baby” by Ilya Zudin from the group “” was used. Having sung this composition, everyone unanimously recognized that Bilan has an extraordinary talent. The next stage was Jurmala.

Preparation of the competition program, qualifying rounds held in Metelitsa, and continuous work on our own material took several months. At the same time, the first of the videos for the song from the new program, “Boom,” was shot. Having successfully completed the qualifying rounds, Dima goes to the festival. "Jurmala", associated primarily with relaxation, became a real test of strength: there was no time for entertainment - rehearsals on stage all day long, which continued in the hotel room. The result of a stubborn struggle was fourth place.

In the fall, recording of the material continued - a full-fledged concert program was needed. The first video and songs had already appeared on television, but the success needed to be developed. The song recorded at that time and the video “Night Hooligan” filmed take Bilan to a new stage in his creative career. This song most accurately reflects the artist’s state of mind at that time, and it was after it that Dima began to be recognized. The work became more and more intense: by the final exams in Gnesinka there were already three videos behind me: “Boom”, “Night Hooligan” and “You, Only You”. The singer came to the last exam straight from the set of his fourth video, “I was wrong, I got it.” In 2003, Dima graduated from the Gnessin School. In the summer of 2004, at a ceremony, he received a diploma from the hands of the People's Artist of the USSR and, deciding not to stop there, entered GITIS immediately as a second-year student at the acting department.

Jurmala

The summer of 2003 was spent on concert tours around resort towns together with the group "". While in Jurmala as a special guest, the artist began filming his new romantic video for the song “I Love You So Much” with the participation of his daughter Vika.

Presentation of "Night Hooligan"

At the end of October 2003, the presentation of the singer’s debut album “I am a night hooligan” took place at the “Harlekino” entertainment complex. The entire program was performed live with the participation of the "Chamber Lux" group. The disc featured compositions within the framework of popular music with elements of R&B and 2Step, as well as songs already known and loved by listeners. " ", " ", " ", " " appeared on stage that evening, and there was also powerful dance support from the "Capture Group". There was also a duet between Dima and the young R&B singer Darina. They sang a joint song, “I Can’t Live Without You,” for which they later filmed a video. Immediately after participating in the “Fear Factor” program in Argentina, where Bilan had to ride a bicycle at a 40-meter height on a thin cable, and then eat strawberries “in the company of flies,” the filming of a video for the song “Mulatto” followed, which took place in at the end of March 2004 at an abandoned elevator near the Savelovsky station.

Already in the summer of 2004, Dima Bilan went to Venice, where they filmed a video for the lyrical composition “On the Shore of the Sky.” The filming took place with the participation of foreign professionals, including the Italian cameraman Giannenrico Bianchi and the main character, a girl named Jari. Yuri Shmilevich also took part in the filming of the video. After “working days,” the singer flew to Turkey for a well-deserved rest.

And in September 2004, Dima made his debut in advertising. He starred in a Tele2 video: he played a student chatting on his cell phone right during a lecture. The video turned out cool. By the way, the advert features the incendiary “Mulatto”.

Second presentation

On October 14, 2004, the presentation of the second album “On the Shore of the Sky” took place at Night Club Infiniti. Foreign composers Shaun Escoffery took part in the recording of this album, as well as Diane Warren, who at that time had been working with world stars of the first magnitude for more than 20 years, including: Whitney Houston, and many others. She is the author of the legendary ballad Un-break My Heart, performed by, and the super hit I Don`t Want To Miss A Thing. Bilan himself acted as the author of two songs, “Water, Sand” and “Like Romeo.” A huge number of VIP guests gathered at the party: Marat Safin, Pavel Bure, "", (as they say, arrived "from the ship to the ball" - immediately after filming "The Last Hero"), "", and, Otar Kushanashvili, naturally , "dynamites" and many, many others.

Takeoff

Under the leadership of Yu.Sh. Aizenshpis, who foresaw the release of the English-language album, Dima begins collaboration with Mr. English, the largest English language school in Russia. “We are not standing still and are already preparing the launching pad for the future world release, which, I hope, is just around the corner. I would like to say a huge thank you to the Mr.English company, namely to the Alchinov family (especially Yanochka)”. It was Yana who played the main role in Dima’s video “Congratulations!”

A few months later, filming began for the artist’s next video for the hit song “You Should Be Nearby.” Gosha Toidze, the director of the video, together with Vlad Opelyants, created a new style in Russian video making. All efforts were not in vain, because the video and track “You Should Be Nearby” soared to the first positions of the national charts. After the successful rotation of the song, many offers began to come from television and radio channels. In the spring alone, the artist starred for a photo shoot in such glossy magazines as Cosmopolitan, Elle, FHM, and Atmosphere. The filming lasted two days; special sets were built for the video in a pavilion at the Mosfilm film studio. At this time, Dima begins to collaborate and becomes the face of La Scala Fashion Group and Franck Provost. In the world of Russian show business, a fuss has begun in preparation for Eurovision 2005. Having won the qualifying rounds, Bilan successfully makes it to the finals. According to the professional jury, it was Dima who took first place, but according to the results of SMS voting it turned out that he was surpassed by several points, which subsequently represented Russia at the finals in Kiev. Dima took part in several festivals, despite his busy touring schedule in Russia. One of the significant events was the Five Stars festival. Among its organizers are the most rated channels: “First”, “Russia”, MTV Russia and, in addition, popular radio stations in Russia provided support: “Russian Radio” and “Europe Plus”. Bilan had the honor of being the festival's guest of honor. But time passes, you can’t live by festivals alone – it was necessary to engage in creativity. Therefore, after talking with Yuri Shmilevich, we decided that it was time to shoot a new video.

The song was chosen right away, betting on the track “As I Wanted.” Filming took place in Panama, the budget was huge, at least by Russian standards. The director was Gosha Toidze, and the cameraman was Vlad Opelyants. The video turned out “crazy”; thanks to joint efforts, this song quickly entered the hot tracklists of Russian radio stations.

After a business trip to Panama, literally a few days later, Dima was invited to film a new reality show on Channel One. The show, called Empire, was filmed in Poland, near Warsaw. The participants included such famous people as Shandybin, Apeksimova, and others. Everyone was divided into rich and poor. At the very first competition, Bilan managed to beat everyone and receive the status of a king, but a few days later, thanks to his “political skill,” Dima again ended up among the poor. “In general, this could have gone on for a long time, but I decided that intrigue was not my thing, and together I decided to leave and return home. Moreover, there are still a lot of things to do at home for which there is not enough time...”.

On September 20, 2005, at the age of 61, Yuri Shmilevich Aizenshpis died of a heart attack. “I am grateful to Yuri Shmilevich for everything he did for me. He was a great man and producer. He played a huge role in my life and work.”.

Triumph on MTV

On September 21, the MTV Russian Music Awards ceremony took place on Vasilyevsky Spusk. Bilan received two awards - as the best performer and artist of the year. After the show, the singer performed on Zamoskvoretsky Bridge, where he sang all his hits. In conclusion, Dima performed the Russian anthem along with other artists. A few days later, the DVD “You, Only You” was released, containing two presentations of the artist’s albums, clips, photographs and interviews.

In October, Dima took part in the Heart of Africa program. There he acted as an expert. Forgetting to take preventive vaccinations against tropical diseases and the consequences of insect bites, Dima left for the show. But everything worked out and the singer returned happy with the trip. On November 3, Bilan left for Lisbon to represent Russia at the Europe Music Awards. In December 2005, Dima received two golden gramophones in St. Petersburg and Alma-Ata for the song “You Should Be Nearby.” On the set of “New Songs about the Main Thing,” he received the Channel One Grand Prix from the professional jury.

The fact that Dima became the person of the year (according to Rambler) in the field of show business indicates that the largest number of people voted for him. At the end of the year, he received an invitation from an American company to dub tracks for the musical "Peter Pan". Also in December, a video for the lyrical composition “I Remember You” was shot in the Botanical Garden. The video turned out fabulous and magical, which corresponds to the New Year's atmosphere.

The year 2005 for Dima Bilan became both triumphant and sad in his career. Therefore, the third album, the presentation of which took place in April 2006, was dedicated to the first Russian producer Yuri Shmilevich Aizenshpis.

On March 14, 2006, in Kyiv, Dima Bilan took part in the International Music Award "Golden Organ" where he received the award as performer of the year. It was there that the fiery song Never Let You Go was first performed.”

After the sudden death of Yuri Aizenshpis, many production centers offered Bilan very attractive terms of cooperation. After thinking for some time, Dima decided to work with.

Between 2003 and 2014, Dima Bilan released eight solo albums. Each of the singer's records was highly appreciated by both critics and his loyal fans. In parallel with recording songs and filming videos, Dima never forgot to actively participate in public life - he often appeared at various social events, magnificent receptions, competitions, festivals and other events. It’s amazing how, despite being so busy, Bilan still managed to delight his fans with concerts.

"Eurovision"

In March 2006, the Eurovision organizing committee in Russia chose Dima Bilan to represent the country and defend its honor at the world song contest in Athens. Bilan performed with dignity in front of millions of eyes, performing the song Never Let You Go, and took an honorable second place.

In 2008, Dima Bilan again decided to try his hand at Eurovision. The competition took place in Belgrade (Serbia). The pop singer amazed the jury and audience with the song Believe. According to the voting results, Dima won. He became the first Russian artist in history to take first place at Eurovision.

In the early 2000s, Dima maintained a very close relationship with model Elena Kuletskaya. The artist even talked about a wedding, but the marriage never took place. A little later, by the way,

This category is dedicated to lovers of music and music videos. Here we tried to collect the most popular, cool and melodic clips from various authors. We did not discriminate against our visitors, and therefore filled in many different directions. There are both rock videos and classic, well-known melodies and, of course, we haven’t forgotten about rap.

Let's start, perhaps, with rap, because this particular style is now incredibly popular in the countries of the former Soviet Union and has gained simply unprecedented popularity. In general, creating such music does not require special skills or hearing, and therefore every rogue can compose a rap. A simple, rhyming text is created, which is read with a certain intonation, and a looped melody plays in the background, which the rappers themselves call a beat. Even schoolchildren compose simple verses. Poems are rarely dedicated to something sublime, but increasingly touch upon our dirty and ambiguous reality.

The second most popular musical genre in our countries can be considered pop. These are also quite simple, rhythmic songs with a catchy chorus and bright visuals that collect millions of views. The main feature of this genre can be considered very simple texts, in which all attention is paid to the chorus. However, many pop artists try to highlight their music with the help of unusual and even sometimes strange visuals. They lure their listeners with bright visual images and a simple, drawn-out, and sometimes stupid melody.

In addition to popular trends, there are also less popular, but higher quality genres. For example, Rock music. It has many different subtypes, from simple grunge to heavier metal compositions with hellish screams. This style is able to touch on various topics and life issues. She can ask her listeners various questions and not give an answer to them. The composition can be about simple human feelings and relationships such as love, betrayal, friendship, etc. It can also tell some interesting story; in general, this music is quite universal. In addition, performers of this genre also like to experiment in their videos and sometimes delight their audience with very high-quality video footage.

However, there are still a whole lot of different styles that are several times better and of higher quality than what is now popular. After all, as everyone knows, if something becomes widespread, it most often loses its unique charm. And greedy performers begin to rivet their unscrupulous fakes, wanting to earn as much green paper as possible.

If you are just a music lover, and you just like to listen to music, regardless of its genre, then hundreds and thousands of videos with music videos will open to you. Here you can listen and watch clips absolutely free of charge and without registration. Nothing can stop you from enjoying your favorite composition and watching your favorite performers. We wish you pleasant viewing and listening!

Which took place yesterday. At first glance, these two events do not intersect with each other. But, as it turned out, there was still a connection. Ksenia Sobchak explained everything. “It’s for you to sit here until the night, but for me and Arman (general director of the MUZ-TV channel Arman Davletyarov. - Note ed.) in the costume of an old rose to go to Yana Rudkovskaya,” the presenter of the “New Star Factory” told her colleagues.

No less funny dialogues were heard on camera that day. The producer and presenter, it should be noted, generally sang with each other without a song. Ksenia Sobchak did not fail to ask: “Victor, which women do you like better, good or bad?” “Well, since I like you, then you’re probably bad,” Drobysh concluded.

While the shooting of the reporting concert of the “New Star Factory” was going on, “Ivanushki International” was burning with Viktor Saltykov’s daughter Anya Moon on stage, Ksenia Sobchak no, no, and even remembered that she could now be at the luxurious party of Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko. “And somewhere there the guests are already taking pictures with all their might for magazines with Gnome Gnomych in their arms,” the presenter complained.

Sati Casanova's eyelashes were able to distract Ksenia Sobchak. The singer had them in red. The unexpected image greatly surprised the presenter. Sati Casanova was pleased that she was able to impress Ksenia Sobchak. The presenter finally got to the party and started dancing after a working day.

Let us remind you that 42-year-old Yana Rudkovskaya and 34-year-old Evgeni Plushenko got married after eight years of marriage. The ceremony took place yesterday in the capital in the strictest secrecy. But the party thrown by the producer and skater on this occasion became one of the most high-profile social events of the season. Among the guests were: Channel One presenter Yulia Baranovskaya, figure skater Tatyana Navka, spouses Valeria and Joseph Prigozhin, Dima Bilan, Sergei Lazarev, Svetlana Loboda, Svetlana Bondarchuk and many others.

“Zhenya and I have gone through a very difficult path. I went through two Olympics with him. He won two medals with me,” summed up Yana Rudkovskaya and thanked everyone present for coming. Stas Mikhailov, Igor Gulyaev, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Svetlana Loboda, and the group “Degrees” performed on stage. And during Dima Bilan’s performance, the son of Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko, Alexander, whom his parents call Gnome Gnomych, appeared on stage.

“Today an important event took place in our lives, Yanchik and I got married! We have been together for 10 years, married for 8 years, and we are very happy that today we have taken this important step in our lives (the author’s spelling and punctuation have been preserved. - Ed.," Evgeni Plushenko shared his impressions on his microblog on Instagram.
