Mitya Fomin is a well-known Russian songwriter, TV presenter, producer and singer. Repeated winner of the "Song of the Year" and the Golden Gramophone Prize. For about 11 years he was the lead singer of the Hi-Fi group. In this article, you will be presented with a short biography of Mitya Fomin. So let's get started.
Family and study
Mitya Fomin (biography, personal life is described below) was born in 1974 in Novosibirsk. The mother of the future singer worked as a patent engineer, and his father worked as an assistant professor at the Institute of Communications. From childhood, the boy gravitated to acting: he loved to sing under pop records and portray artists. Sister Mitya was also fond of music and after school decided to enter the conservatory. Fomin planned to submit documents to a medical institute. This was facilitated by the fact that Mitya was actively engaged in parrots at that time and planned to become a veterinarian. But it was an agricultural profession, and no one was doing it. Therefore, the mother said: "If you want to heal, go study as a doctor."
Moving abroad
If a young man went this way, now we would have before us a biography of Mitya Fomin as a doctor, not an artist. But that did not happen. Immediately after admission, he took academic leave and went abroad at the invitation of friends. First Mitya visited in England, and then in the USA. In America, he actively studied the language and earned extra money. Then the future singer began to compose music, and also got acquainted with the musical theater.
Return
A year later, Mitya Fomin, a biography whose personal life is known to all his fans, returned to Russia. He continued to study, but already clearly understood that the doctor was not his calling. And so, on the eve of state examinations, Mitya unexpectedly left for Moscow to enter a theater university. The family of the young man reacted to this act with understanding. Having submitted documents to several universities, Mitya went to Novosibirsk, received a doctor’s “crust” and returned back. He managed to enter VGIK with a competition of 70 people per place. By coincidence, Fomin met in Moscow old friends - Pavel Yesenin and Eric Chanturiya. The first was a composer, and the second was a producer. They were just looking for a soloist in a new project.
Hi-Fi Group
We can say that 1998 is the time when the creative biography of Mitya Fomin began. He became the frontman of the Hi-Fi group. The debut album “First Contact” quickly made the band popular. A successful career start and a long touring schedule forced Mitya to leave VGIK. In the group, he worked for almost 11 years. During this time, four albums were released, and hits such as "Silly People", "And We Loved", "Raven", "The Seventh Petal" and others appeared. At the end of 2008, the artist decided to start a solo career. And when the contract with the Hi-Fi group expired, the singer did not renew it.
Solo career
After the breakup of the group, Mitya Fomin, whose biography, whose wife and other details of the artist’s life are regularly discussed in the media, began to form a new creative team. In parallel, he toured, recorded songs and was looking for a producer. In March 2009, Fomin signed a contract with Maxim Fadeev. Of all the songs Mitya, he chose "Two Lands" and sent to the rotation on the "Russian Radio". And right after the premiere, the young director Yevgeny Kuritsyn shot a clip. The video hit the first place on the charts of the EmTV Channel. Six months later, Fadeev and Fomin decided to stop cooperation. Mitya did not despair and worked perfectly without a producer. As a result, in the summer of 2010, Fomin released his debut album, "So It Will Be." Reviews from critics were mixed. Most of them heard in the songs of the album the continuation of the traditions of the Hi-Fi group.
Second solo album
At the end of 2010, singer Mitya Fomin, whose biography was presented in this article, shot a video for the song “Wintered”. He did this to support his second solo album "The Insolent Angel". In March 2011, the singer recorded a song with the Pat Shop Boys band called Big City Lights. For 27 weeks she was in the lead of the charts and received the Golden Gramophone Award. The video for the song was shot in Cuba and in St. Petersburg. In the summer of 2011, Fomin, together with Christina Orsa, starred in the video for the song “Not a Mannequin”. The shooting took place in Hong Kong and Moscow. Mitya did not direct it on his own, but hired a team of professionals led by Marat Adelshin. According to the singer, this video has become the most expensive of his entire career. In April 2012, the single “Good Song” was released. Christina Orsa again took part in the filming of the video for this composition. Currently, the singer is working on a third album. Together with DJ Cyril Clash, he already recorded for him a single called "Home".
Personal life
In short, it was the entire biography of Mitya Fomin. It remains to talk about the personal life of the singer. Despite the age of Fomin (he is now 41 years old), she remains unsettled. Although Mitya himself says that he does not suffer from bachelor status at all. Periodically, he makes romance with girls, but not one of them has yet managed to keep the artist. Recently, the press announced the wedding of Fomin with Katya Gordon. But it was another duck. In fact, they are just friends. At the moment, the singer does not have a wife.
