Dima Bilan is today quite a popular performer of many favorite songs. And his name at birth and until June two thousand and eight is Viktor Nikolayevich Belan. Many fans are interested not only in the artist’s biography, but also in their private life, Bilan’s nationality and any interesting facts, especially scandalous stories. This is the price of dizzying success.
A brief biography of the singer: childhood
The idol of the stage was born on December 24, nineteen eighty-one, in the small village of Moscow, which is part of the town of Ust-Dzheguta and is located in Karachay-Cherkessia. Literally twelve months later, the family moved to Naberezhnye Chelny, and another five years passed - and they are already in the city of Maisky, and this is Kabardino-Balkaria. Here, Victor, until the ninth grade, goes to school number two, and then goes to the fourteenth, where he completes his school education.
Today, the singer is more familiar under the name Dima Bilan, due to the fact that in June two thousand and eight began to use this pseudonym instead of genuine data. But already in two thousand and twelve, he began a new project, where, on the contrary, Vitya Belan now uses his own name as a matronym.
The first musical steps of the future celebrity
In the fifth grade, Dima begins studying at the music school to play the accordion and even becomes a soloist in the choir. Participates in various competitive events, reads poetry, sings songs and is involved in all holidays.
And in nineteen ninety-nine he goes to the capital to become a participant in the famous Chung-Chang festival, which was created especially for young talents in connection with the anniversary of the collaboration of Entin and Tukhmanov.
The next time Dima visited Moscow after graduation. He enters the school to them. Gnesins and begins to engage in creative self-realization.
Dima Bilan. Nationality and parents of a talented performer
Mom of today's idol was at first an ordinary worker in greenhouses, and then went into social spheres. And dad has a standard engineering profession. Dmitry has two more sisters, Elena and Anna. Of course, like all parents, Nikolai Mikhailovich and Nina Dmitrievna wanted their son to have a normal, more mundane education that would help him not only get on his feet, but also feed his family. Therefore, they resisted Dima’s desire to become a singer for a long time.
Nationality of Bilan, despite the fact that he was born in Karachay-Cherkessia, Russian. Accordingly, his mother - Belan Nina Dmitrievna, and his father - Belan Nikolai Mikhailovich - are also Russian. As for the family name of this family, it belongs to a very interesting group, which came from "worldly" names. Due to the content of the root "bel" in itself, such surnames were very common in Ancient Russia. They could be given to a person according to his external data. White means light, very pale or white-faced, possibly even blond.
And another possible meaning is that the surname may refer to the adjective "white", which means expensive, clean or good. And over time, she transformed into Belan. Therefore, who is Dima Bilan by nationality can be judged primarily by the origin of his surname.
People’s artist born in a small town
Once he was a small, ordinary boy, as many of his teachers said, very modest and shy. Today, every step he takes is known to all. And despite the fact that Dima does not like to be frank and doesn’t let anyone get too close to him, there is always enough information for fans to think.
In the two thousand and sixth year, he ranks second in the Eurovision Song Contest, and after two years he takes first place. Such an event occurred for the first time in the history of Russia, and, of course, then the whole country jumped with joy along with the winner. And he instantly became the favorite singer of millions. And questions rained down: who is he - Dima Bilan? Nationality of the star, where was he born? A lack of information, as a rule, generates a lot of rumors.
The idol of millions has ceased to be itself
This story began fifteen years ago, in an ordinary secondary school in the city of Maisky, which is located in the vicinity of Nalchik. Speaking the name of the idol - Dima Bilan, whose nationality and origin worries a lot of people - no one knew about Vita Belan. But it was with him that the ascent of the star ladder began.
It was he who, having graduated from school at nineteen ninety-nine, went to conquer the capital. Here, a talented guy was immediately noted by Yuri Aizenshpis. It was he who produced the last album of the Kino group and the popular performer of the nineties, Vlad Stashevsky. And only then Belan decides to choose a creative pseudonym for himself, which largely helped him to liberate himself.
How did the death of the producer affect further creativity
But when after three years the producer dies, his heirs announced the name "Dima Bilan" as their property. There were a huge number of ships, threats, and the popular singer had to go through great stresses and worries. They tried to take absolutely everything from him: songs, creativity, and even a pseudonym, since according to his passport he remained Viktor Nikolayevich Belan.
Then the artist took a rather complicated step and received a document in a new name. Moreover, the passport was issued in the name of Dima, and not Dmitry. And then new rumors spread. Why did he change his last name? Why did you refuse your name? And yet, who is Dima Bilan by nationality?
Therapeutic effect of the new passport data
What is the difference between the life of an ordinary person and the life of popular stars? First of all, by the fact that their every step, any action, personal relationship, some kind of scandal - absolutely everything becomes public.
Dima had to experience the same thing as soon as he became a celebrity. Everyone wanted to know not only what songs he will perform, but also what he does in everyday life, who he was before, where he studied Dima Bilan, the nationality of his parents and much more.
Even school teachers remembered this boy as very shy and modest. To liberate himself on stage, Dmitry had to do a lot of work on himself. He did it. Now in this singer it is no longer possible to recognize that shy teenager who was so worried about all the shows on the stage.
Nevertheless, each person needs his own personal space. There, in front of the audience, Dima Bilan is cool, for him everything impossible is possible. But deep down there is still this young Vitya who wants to be humble, perhaps not even recognizable by the public. Therefore, this duality in many ways even helps to have some kind of therapeutic effect on the singer's life.
New project called Vitya Belan
The project created by the singer is probably an indicator of how sometimes you want to be yourself, to return to yourself. Anyone who closely follows Dmitry’s life knows perfectly well that in his life there were a lot of bright moments. And not only positive ones.
Various courts, proof of their rights, lawyers, legal terms ... And he came across all this, being completely unprepared. And the desire to be the Vitya that he was earlier is quite justified. After all, there were no problems, there was no intrigue, there were no those who wanted to take away something, to appropriate it.
What is more important for fans of talent
And no matter who he is: Vitya or Dima Bilan. Who is he by nationality. Who does he live with and how. The main thing is his work. He is not only a wonderful performer, but also writes wonderful songs, composes melodies.
His talent does not depend on where he was born or baptized. What should be of interest to a simple layman in the first place is not who Dima Bilan lives with, what nationality he or his relatives have, but what contribution this talented singer made to our Russian culture. Of course, this delightful performer has a certain piece of Caucasian education, and even some oriental features. But this is only a silent tribute to the lands where he was born and raised, where he went to school and took the first steps on the stage.
And Dima in many of his interviews quite often mentions the place of his birth. And also about the simple life of his parents, whom he loves and protects. After all, he already knows very well how any inaccurately stated topic in the media can hurt.
And when Dima Bilan appears on the stage or on the screen, nationality, his origin, personal life - everything fades into the background. Because at these moments I want to listen to his voice, which once again helped Russia become the first! And this is the most important thing!
