My father worked as a mechanic and design engineer, my mother worked in greenhouses and in the social service. Their daughter Lena grew up, and then the long-awaited son appeared - he was named Victor. Soon the family moved to Kabardino-Balkaria. Vitya went to school there, and at the age of 11 he began studying music. Parents did not give special significance the nascent talent and did not immediately send their son to a music school. But literally from the very beginning of his studies, success fell upon him!

The boy was not going to stop there, so he stayed in the capital and entered the Gnessin School. Three years of study - and here it is, the long-awaited qualification in vocal performer!
In his third year at Gnesinka, Vitya met his future producer Yuri Aizenshpis. Yuri saw a star in the guy and decided to see what would happen if he took him seriously. He told Vita to take a pseudonym - they decided to call the project “Dima Bilan”. Dmitry is the name of Vita’s grandfather; the boy liked it all his life. He began to perform under it. To begin with, I took 4th place at the New Wave competition in 2002, and then, as if from under a factory machine, songs, videos, projects began to appear...
Popularity in the biography of Dima Bilan grew exponentially. In the fall of 2005, he was nominated for an MTV award as the best Russian performer. And then, at the very peak of his ward’s fame, Yuri Aizenshpis died. Dima received an award, and later another one, but the producer was no longer with him.
The contract with the company owned by Aizenshpis was terminated and they demanded that he not perform under that name. The country could have been left without Dima Bilan, whom everyone loved so much. But then it appeared. Taking Bilan under her wing, she helped solve the problem with the name. In order not to change the promoted brand “Dima Bilan”, she advised me to register this name at the registry office as my real name, according to my passport. Now the singer could easily perform under it further - both in Russia and, as planned by the new producer Yana Rudkovskaya, abroad.
Dima Bilan first at Eurovision
In 2006, Dima Bilan went to conquer Eurovision. His famous number for the song “Never let you go” is not remembered except by babies. Then, at Eurovision 2006 in Athens, Bilan performed his signature jump from the piano, which later became his business card. But victory was still not given: the Europeans liked the Finnish group Lordi more. In the end - second place. But Dima is not one of those who gives up easily! After waiting another year, he again goes to the most prestigious song competition in Europe.
At that time, the popularity of figure skating was growing with all its might. After the success of Russian athletes at the Olympics in Turin, a real boom began in our country!

Bilan was declared the winner, placing the Ukrainian Ani Lorak a step lower.

Europe was taken. The treasured microphone was in Dima’s hands, he literally became a national hero, because before him, none of the domestic performers had won this competition! The ladies staged a real hunt for the eligible groom. But Dima promised reporters that he would marry his girlfriend. According to rumors, his chosen one, model Lena Kuletskaya, had been waiting for a marriage proposal for a long time, and it was promised to her if she won Eurovision. But time passed, and no offer was received.
Their common path diverged into different paths; more and more often at social events, Lena was noticed in the company of other men. Soon Dima and Lena announced their breakup. And then it turned out that the romance was not real: the couple only portrayed the relationship and everything that happened was nothing more than a PR stunt. After this, Dima began to carefully hide his personal life. This did not stop journalists: they wrote with all their might about his wedding and even put up photographs of the couple in the attire of the bride and groom. It turned out that it was a duck again: in this form, pseudo-wife Yulia Sarkisova starred in Bilan’s video “The Hours”. In fact, she has both a billionaire husband and children.

After just a couple of seasons, I realized that it was more interesting to work with children, and became firmly established among the mentors of the children’s “Voice.” He turned out to be a sensitive teacher and psychologist no matter what! Who would have thought that 10 years later the boy jumping out of the piano would turn out to be a real example for future stars, becoming not only a mentor for them, but also a friend!

Secrets of personal life
This part of the life of popular people is always of interest to fans. Sometimes fans manage to find out the truth, and sometimes they only guess how their favorite lives. In the latter case, it often happens that a lot of speculation and false information arises.
They also talked a lot about Dima’s romance with the Russian model Lena Kuletskaya. They promised to get married for a couple of years, but the wedding never took place.
And one day the young people even announced that their union existed only for PR. Although, after a while, the artist still said that he and his ex-lover disseminated such information because of the intrusiveness of the paparazzi, which did not allow him to live normally.
Later, Dima was often seen with the famous model Yulianna Krylova. This girl starred in his “Safety” video. Moreover, she participated in quite explicit scenes.
