Denis Maidanov - Russian singer, composer, songwriter, actor and producer. In 2012, Denis Maidanov’s team became the winner of the “Battle of the Choirs” project.
Childhood and youth of Denis Maidanov
Denis Vasilyevich Maidanov was born in the winter of 1976 in a small town in the Saratov region. WITH early childhood he did not miss a single concert that took place in Balakovo, and after graduating from the directing department of the Moscow state university culture and arts became seriously interested in music.
Quote:
“When I left the city at the age of 25, I had already gone there from the leader of a vocal-instrumental ensemble to an employee of the city’s cultural department. Conducted major events - city, regional, international. IN free time wrote songs for local stars. I think that after some time I would have become a deputy, there was a direct path. Maybe I would still have ended up in Moscow, only along the political line - I also liked that and still like it.”
The creative path of Denis Maidanov
In 2000, he acted as a producer for the group HB and became the author of hits for many representatives Russian stage– Nikolai Baskov, Alexander Marshal, Natalia Vetlitskaya, Marina Khlebnikova, Ed Shulzhevsky, the groups “Strelki”, “White Eagle” and others. In 2002, singer Sasha performed the composition “Behind the Fog,” written by Denis Maidanov, and the author was awarded the “Song of the Year” award. The popular songs “Avtoradio” and “Happy New Year, Country” performed by the group “Murzilki International” were also written by Denis Maidanov. 
Quote:
“I used to write for pop artists to order in order to earn money. And among them there were many fly-by-night groups. Many people think that it is enough to buy a song from good author, record a video with a fashionable director - and success is guaranteed. But the crisis put everything in its place. Now I can allow myself to create songs for myself, more sincere, not to please the music market"
The artist admits that his favorite compositions “I love you so much” and “Next to you” were performed by Yulian and Nikolai Baskov. He has never been ashamed of his songs, but he considers some of them the most successful and worthwhile. Denis Maidanov does not like to give his songs to someone who does not feel them and does not breathe life, so the musician always controls later life compositions. If an artist seems promising to Denis Maidanov, then he can give a song.
Quote:
“The path of a composer is very difficult. But the composer's Olympus is much harder, because basically all the laurels go to the performer. After all, very few people think about who wrote the famous song. The only exceptions are people working in show business. Everyone else is interested in the success of the performer. And when the artist finds his composer, who produces the series good songs, a tandem is formed, which shapes the success of the performer. In addition, the composer must also be a music producer. He must understand how his songs should sound in order to be successful."
Denis Maidanov has enormous experience as a composer; he has spent thousands of hours in studios and is proficient in various programs and instruments. He himself can make a preliminary layout of the future song. But the climb to Olympus for a composer is much longer and more difficult than for a performer. Over the 10 years that Denis Maidanov has lived in Moscow, various stars have approached him. From 2001 to 2008, selling songs was the business of Denis Maidanov, but in 2009 the musician decides to work only for himself and engage in solo career. In June 2009, Denis Maidanov’s debut album “I will know that you love me…” was released.
Quote:
“I have a lot of autobiographical songs. That is, these are the stories that I live. They are very rich – after all, there is never a dull moment in our lives. Or I can simply take stories from life: hear a phrase dropped by someone or even listen to the president and continue thinking about the topic, embodying it creatively. All songs are born differently and there is no criterion for their writing. I can start with a piece of text, I can start with a fragment of a melody, I can compose in a traffic jam or in the bathroom in the morning.”
However, sometimes Denis Maidanov writes songs for his favorite artists. For example, in December 2010, Boris Moiseev sang “Little Paris”. But the singer suffered a stroke, and the song had already hit the radio stations. Denis Maidanov decided that Boris Moiseev should sing something else, and composed “I will live now.” The words: “I will continue to do what I did, I will not break” helped Boris Moiseev in 2011, when the singer performed at concerts, overcoming his illness. On May 1, 2011, Denis Maidanov’s second solo disc, entitled “Rented World,” was released. In addition to the stage, cinema plays a significant role in the composer’s life. Denis Maidanov wrote soundtracks for the famous TV series “Zone”, “Angelica”, “Revenge”, and also took part in the filming of several multi-part projects: “Trace”, “Dasha Vasilyeva - a lover of private investigation”, “Alexandrovsky Garden”, “Hunting” on Izyubrya", "Moscow Saga". In 2012, Denis Maidanov plays the role of Nikolai Sibirsky, a singer, in the TV series “Bros-3”. In 2010 Denis Maidanov was awarded a medal“For service in the North Caucasus”, for participation in the annual charity event of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2009 for the composition “ Eternal love"The performer received the Golden Gramophone award. In 2012, he won the MK Soundtrack award with the song “Nothing I’m sorry for.” In 2012 he won the Chanson of the Year award in the Kremlin with the song “Bullet”. In 2012 he received the Road Radio Star award. At the beginning of 2012, Denis Maidanov performed together with Gosha Kutsenko on the same stage of the “Two Stars” project on Channel One. In August 2012, Denis Maidanov participated in the Russia 1 TV channel project “Battle of the Choirs” as a mentor of a choir from Yekaterinburg. Denis Maidanov named the choir “Victoria”, and as a result audience voting the team became the winner and won 1 million rubles. Another passion of Denis is sports. In his youth, he was even predicted to become a football player, but he chose to devote his life to creativity.
Quote:
“Football is my hobby. I even played for the team of the Guild of Cinema Actors of Russia, which is called “Serial”. We went to matches and then performed in national concerts. And now he has moved to the “Artists of Russia” team, where more famous stars and athletes play. Even on tour I exercise – twice a week for two hours.”

The musician has been happily married to a girl named Natalya for a long time, which he immediately informed all his fans so that they would not have any illusions about him. His wife not only provides moral support to Denis, but also accompanies him on tour as a concert director. The daughter often remains under the supervision of her grandmothers, who play her father’s clips for the child. Denis Maidanov’s wife is the main critic and censor; the performer brings all new songs to audition, first of all, to her.

This year has been very busy for Denis Maidanov, who recently turned 40 years old. The artist told ProZvezd why he moved to live outside the city and why he doesn’t want to have many children.
– Denis, how old do you feel?
– I have a wonderful song “36.6”. This is the age I have fixed on and will try to carry it through my whole life. I am often asked: what has changed since then? You probably become wiser and have an additional responsibility towards your own audience.
– Have you decided for yourself who you are more – a performer of chanson or pop music?
– I don’t classify myself. In 15 years creative activity so many different songs have been written! If I start to define what genre I belong to, I will immediately stop creating. Once upon a time, Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky wrote so many songs, and they were all completely different: military, and lyrics about love, and folklore - and all were equally loved by the people. He did not adapt to the genre, he wrote as he felt. I stand by this position. And I write not only to myself, but also to many pop stars.
- One of yours latest works- with Lolita. How do you work with a woman without complexes?
“I feel absolutely comfortable with her.” Lolita is very talented, unpredictable and extravagant. But at the same time dramatic, deep and real!
According to Denis, Lolita is very talented, unpredictable and extravagant. But at the same time dramatic, deep and real!
– Isn’t your wife jealous?
– Of course not (smiles). They are friends!
– Several years ago you moved to live outside the city. How do you feel being away from the bustle of Moscow?
- Wonderful. We always wanted to live in big house. Now we have settled down and calmed down. I believe that we deserve this house after thirteen years of persistent struggle for a place in the sun, for ours to be played on the radio. Yes, and they grow on fresh air- This is wonderful.
– My daughter Vlada will be eight years old this year. What does she do?
– She studies at a linguistic gymnasium. She has success in music school: This is probably a talent or something that may have been passed on genetically. But she tries herself, and her mother helps. He is involved in choreography and also tennis. I myself am a sports person and I insist that the child play sports. Actually, no one in the family will contradict me, because our mother is also athletic.
– Is the younger Borislav also athletic?
- Yes. He recently learned to ride a scooter. And he did it quite quickly and smartly. I recently asked a girl out on a first date. He went to her first, then invited her to his place. Everything was civilized, in front of my parents, I gave him juice (laughs).
– Denis, are you thinking about becoming a father of many children?
– We have enough children: a complete set.
Wife Natalya with children In December, Denis Maidanov became a father for the second time - his wife Natalya gave the singer a son, whom the happy parents named Borislav.
“This name means “glorious in struggle,” says Denis. – I wanted to choose something strong for my son. male name, which will help him fight difficulties. You can't live without them in life.
Denis dotes on the boy and tries to spend all his free time with him. After giving birth, Natalya quickly got into shape and has already begun her direct duties - she is an artist’s assistant and regularly accompanies her husband on tour. Borislav and his sister Vlada live with their grandmother, the singer’s mother. To help the mother, almost immediately after the birth of their son, the Maidanovs hired a nanny, whom they carefully selected. However, they were dissatisfied with the woman’s work.
“We’re really not very happy with her work,” Natalya admitted to us. – He spreads gossip; he discusses much of what we have at home with other nannies. Naturally, we don't like it. 
Denis Maidanov with his wife and daughter But what shocked the Maidanovs most was that the lady posted photographs of their house on the Internet. When patience ran out, they decided to radically change the situation and, having fired the insolent babysitter, hired a foreigner to help. Denis and Natalya hope that they will be able to establish contact with her faster.
“We have already discharged the Filipina, she should arrive soon,” Natalya continues. – I hope we can find her common language. They are said to be quiet, flexible and calm. But the main thing is that they don’t understand the Russian language, so they won’t be able to take what’s happening in the house outside of it. 
Denis Maidanov with his daughter Vlada
Nannies from the Philippines are not uncommon in Russian show business. Now a foreign nanny is looking after the son of Anastasia Stotskaya. Nastya was pleased with her choice: the girl did not take her eyes off the child and literally followed on his heels. Plus it’s easier for a child to learn English. The Maidanovs hope that they will also like the Filipino nanny. Moreover, its services are much cheaper than Russian ones.
Meanwhile, the artist himself continues to actively tour. But he dreams of finding a window for rest. Denis and Natalya are going to go to Italy. They will take it eldest daughter Vlad. At this time, the son will be under the supervision of a Filipina.
