He won his first applause as a child, when for no reason at all he sang in the school cafeteria. Perhaps this was the beginning of the creative biography of Bilan, who today is one of the brightest stars on the pop scene in Russia.

Dima Bilan (Victor Belan) was born in 1981 in the town of Ust-Dzheguta in the KChR. At the age of one, his parents moved him to Naberezhnye Chelny, and five years later the family returned to the Caucasus, to the city of Maisky, Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. Until his departure for Moscow, Dima lived in this republic and considers it his homeland, and fellow countrymen pay him with love. He bears the title of People's Artist of the KBR.

For the first time, Victor (Dima) announced himself in the capital at the children's song contest "Chunga-Changa". The winner's award was presented to him by Joseph Kobzon himself, and this was a significant event. In his hometown, vocal teacher Elena Kan was very actively involved with him, largely thanks to which Bilan's singing biography took place. By the way, it was with the sponsorship of the mentor that the first clip of the singer was filmed for the song "Autumn", which was first performed on MTV. In 2000, Dima came to Moscow and entered the music school. Gnesins to the vocal department.

In the third year, fate smiled at the young singer: he was noticed by producer Yuri Aizenshpis. After this event, Bilan's biography received a new direction and even a new name: it was on the advice of the producer that Victor Belan took a different name - Dima Bilan, as a more scenic one. His debut on the big stage took place in 2002 in Jurmala at the New Wave festival. Dima Bilan took fourth place with the song "Boom". The singer soon after that began to shoot a video for her, then the videos followed one after another. It was glory. By the end of 2003, he released his first album, "I am a night hooligan." A year later, another one appeared - "On the shore of the sky." At the same time, work began on an English-language album.

2005 began with the struggle for participation in Eurovision. His composition "Not that simple" took only second place, losing in the ranking to Natalia Podolskaya, but it was already clear that the singer would not give up his dream. However, this year also brought great misfortune - Yuri Aizenshpis suddenly died. The pupil was very upset by this tragedy. The pain of loss was aggravated by the claims of the family of the late producer to Bilan: the widow claimed her rights to the Dima Bilan brand with all the ensuing consequences. I had to prove my right to a pseudonym and independent creativity in court. It happened in 2008, and since then Yana Rudkovskaya has been its producer.

Meanwhile, active creative work did not stop. In 2006 he got to Eurovision and with the hit NeverLet You Go”was in 2nd place. He returned here again in 2008 and already left with a victory.

The singer has received many prizes and awards: two awards from the Golden Gramophone festival, 3 Muz-TV awards: "Best Performer of the Year", "Best Album", "Best Performer of the Year". This is not a complete list of titles and awards. "Singer of the Year" and "Favorite Citizen of Russia" - this is also Bilan.

Biography, nationality, personal life of the singer invariably excite fans and fans. In short, the “person of Caucasian nationality” Belan Viktor Nikolaevich is a Russian who grew up in the national republic. Personal life? He is credited with novels with one or the other girl. At first, the press actively discussed the upcoming wedding of the singer with model Elena Klutskaya. And in the last year, another name sounds next to his name - Yulia Krylova. We have to admit that with all the publicity, the personal life of the stars remains closed. Bilan's biography is no exception. However, only one thing is important: that he continues to delight the audience with his talent and charm.
