Childhood and youth

Personal life

The artist's personal life is ideal for a show business star. From school, the Sorcerer met with Victoria Khomitskaya, who in 2012 became the official wife of the singer. The wife gave Dmitry two children: in 2013 - the son of Jan, after 3 years - the daughter of Alice.

The father of the Sorcerer did not come out strict, but, as he himself defined, meticulous. If it is necessary to influence the child, economic sanctions apply - a toy is taken away or, conversely, an encouragement is issued.

The family prefers to live in Minsk, although the singer bought an apartment in Moscow. It is easier for an artist to create at home, and in the capital of Russia it is easier to solve technical issues.

At the beginning of 2014, Dmitry Koldun registered in "Instagram". The singer regularly publishes personal and work photos, which are of interest to tens of thousands of subscribers.

In one of the first interviews, the celebrity admitted that he is an introvert by nature, calmly endures loneliness, and even loves silence. I have not been to parties and are not going to:

“To go to the presentation of some vermouth in a new bottle in order to wait until you are photographed there is beyond. I better deal I'll do something."

There are no friends close enough to share problems. Dmitry's father and mother broke up when his son was 7 years old, and the Sorcerer got used to digesting everything inside, which caused a lot of unrest to his loved ones.

Now the artist is a welcome guest on corporate events, Day of the city, combined performances of colleagues. Dmitry does not announce the amount of the fee, although the concert agencies claim that the customer will have to fork out € 10 thousand.

Either jokingly or seriously, the Sorcerer said that in 2027 he would like to re-enter the Eurovision stage, with such a solid, wise experience and life. To get something like an appearance, or maybe something light, "in an octopus costume." Painfully serious about the repeated performance and.

Dmitry is working on the 5th full-fledged studio album, which, unlike the previous ones, contains more positive and life-affirming songs. The Sorcerer does not want to succumb to the influence of fashionable rap in any case. Hip-hop is music for the young, and he is not at the age to do it.

“We need to sing some patriotic songs, think about our homeland, about our national idea.”

Own way

Oksana Morozova, AiF.Zdorovye: Dmitry, looking at that Dima, who once became the winner of the 6th season of the Star Factory, and at you today, I want to ask what are the fundamental differences?

Dmitry Koldun: Visually, perhaps, I gained a couple of kilograms. And if we talk about inner feelings, then life just turned upside down. In some way, the "Star Factory" changed me in better side- I learned how to work on stage virtually from scratch. And after all, he became the winner of the project, where the participants came who had been working on themselves since childhood.
From purely human qualities- became more closed. I realized that not all thoughts and reasoning should be voiced if you want to achieve your goal.

- Almost all "Factories" had a lot of bright participants, but only a few of them were able to achieve something in show business. Why do you think?

After the project, I soon realized that no one would drag me. Despite the fact that I became the winner, the producer of the project was engaged in anyone, but not me. I was made a member of the KGB group, where the participants, to put it mildly, were not on the same wavelength. At that moment, I decided that something needed to be changed, and I made an attempt to go to Eurovision. And I did it. I think the problem of the participants who did not stay afloat is the inability to choose their own path. Some simply waited for the producer to take care of them one day, while many simply did not know what they wanted and lived in the belief that the glory that had come would remain forever.

New goals

- How difficult was it for you to keep the interest of the public after the project?

It was rather a pleasant process. It's like learning to ski - first you fall, but with each such fall you gain experience. Realizing that producers often leave the best tracks for the artists of their centers, I began to learn how to compose songs, over time they began to appear on the air of radio stations. Bit by bit, I assembled a team of those who not only come to work, but generate ideas, live by common successes and achievements.

- You just remembered Eurovision. Despite a quite decent result, have you ever had a desire to try your hand at this competition again?

Frankly, I have no desire to go there again. I remember very well what motivated my participation in this competition then. And I must be honest with myself: now there is no such fuse, and without it there is nothing to do there. In addition, the competition is increasingly trying to use political ideas and provocations - this is not my thing.

double dad

- Dmitry, in April last year you became a dad for the second time. The media was in the dark until recently. How did you and your wife manage to maintain such a conspiracy?

I don't big supporter announcements. If you pay attention to my social networks, there are mostly working materials. I rarely post photos of my children and wife. I never had a task to collect the maximum number of subscribers and likes. I believe that happiness loves silence.

- Some children are jealous of the appearance of a brother or sister. How did Yang take the news of Alice's birth?

Of course he gets jealous, especially when he wants to play. It's normal at his age. We try to give equal time to both.

- Is there a fundamental difference in raising your son and daughter for you?

There are slight differences, but in general, the approach is the same - to teach to love life and those around, and also to explain to the son that the power is given to protect, not to destroy.

- You could not be present next to your wife at the time of the birth of your daughter. How did she react to this?

Yes, indeed, I was busy filming the show Just Like It, so I couldn’t let the rest of the participants down. But the next day I went to Minsk, where my extended family was waiting for me.

- The first season of the show Just Like It was not easy for you. What images in this project were the most difficult for you?

Let's say I don't best dancer. Moreover, I am quite lyrical both on stage and in life. Therefore, the most difficult images were given where you need to be in suspense all the time, for example, it was incredibly difficult to get into the skin of a macho Antonio Banderas, I even tightened my back with technical tape under the suit in order to feel constant discomfort and not relax.

The easiest and most harmonious of all was the cheeky rockers of the 80s and 90s, on the songs of which I grew up. There are also editorial moments, because the participants themselves do not always choose the songs for the show. The image may not be too suitable for height or voice, body shape. My Zhanna Aguzarova And Annie Lenox were two meters tall, which also cannot be called “exactly the same”, but both me and the audience will obviously have something to remember.

Dmitry Koldun is a talented Belarusian singer who has become famous far beyond the borders of his homeland. Behind him is participation in such bright show projects like "Star Factory", "Slavianski Bazaar", "Eurovision" and many others. His compositions rose to the first lines of the charts in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and many other countries. But is it possible to say that in his work this talented guy has already achieved everything he wanted? Of course not. After all, the career of this bright performer continues, which means that he will surely please us with many new hits.

Early years, childhood and the family of Dmitry Koldun

Our today's hero was born in the city of Minsk in a family that was not much different from many others. His parents worked as school teachers, and he dreamed of becoming a doctor since childhood. For this reason, already in his teens, the future singer went to a specialized medical class in the Minsk gymnasium. About career pop singer Dima didn’t even dream then, but he managed to finish school with silver medal.

It is quite remarkable that in early age the future singer managed to write even a full-fledged literary story. The work was called "Dog Polkan - Petya's friend" and was notable for the fact that all one hundred and sixty-six words in this work began with the same letter - the letter "P". Subsequently, this story was even published in one of the Belarusian newspapers in the "Records" section.

After graduating from school, Dmitry Koldun entered the Belarusian State University, which is one of the most prestigious universities in Belarus. Here he began to study chemistry, but at some point he suddenly turned off the scientific path and decided to go into show business.

What made our today's hero so radically change his plans is still not known for certain. Perhaps the reason for this was the career of his older brother - Georgy Koldun - who at that time with his group was already performing in Minsk clubs to the fullest. One way or another, already in 2004, Dmitry showed up at the casting of the Russian project "People's Artist", which was successfully completed. As part of this project our today's hero took the stage several times, but subsequently fizzled out. Despite the fact that the victory eventually bypassed him, the performance on this show became milestone in a career as a musician.

Star Trek by Dmitry Koldun: the first songs in Belarus

In 2004 Koldun became one of the soloists of the State Concert Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus under the direction of Mikhail Finberg. Together with this team, he began to tour the country and even managed to take part in the filming New Year's program channel ONT (Belarus). This was followed by performances music festival"Molodechno-2005", as well as at the international Vitebsk festival "Slavianski Bazaar".

In 2006, together with the song "May be", Dmitry Koldun appeared at the Eurofest competition, which is a Belarusian national stage selection for Eurovision. However, at that time he could not win. Not wanting to turn off the intended path, in the same year, our today's hero went to Moscow, where he took part in the casting of the Star Factory-6 project. The selection turned out to be successful, and some time later Dmitry was among the "manufacturers" of the sixth season of the project. At this competition, the Sorcerer became one of the favorites of Viktor Drobysh, as well as clear favorite according to the results audience voting. In the end, there were no surprises. Dmitry became the winner of the project, and very soon his songs began to sound in all corners of the CIS.

Already in the rank of an established performer in 2007, the Koldun again appeared on the Eurofest project. This time, with the song "Work your magic", the artist managed to win the national Belarusian selection and get the coveted ticket to Eurovision. In this context, it is worth noting that even before the start of the competition, the Sorcerer became one of the most discussed participants in the show. His composition (whose authorship officially belongs to Philip Kirkorov) has been repeatedly called plagiarism. Similar accusations were made against the presented video. However, all this only fueled the public's interest in the person of the Belarusian performer.

As a result, at the Eurovision Song Contest, the artist successfully reached the final, where he took the final sixth place. To this day, this result is the best in the history of Belarus' performances at this competition. After the end of Eurovision, Koldun also recorded a Russian-language version of this composition, which very soon topped many charts in Russia and Ukraine.

It is worth noting that the performance at the European competition gave a powerful impetus to Dmitry's career. Very soon, as a guest performer, he performed at the Scorpions concert in Minsk, and then appeared before the public as a pop star at Junior Eurovision, which was held in Belarus that year. In addition, in 2008, Dmitry tried himself as a theater actor, playing a major role in the production of The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta. In addition to this, in track record our today's hero also has two episodic roles in the movie.

IN currently the singer's discography lists two solo albums, as well as several successful singles.

Dmitry Koldun is a young Belarusian singer who won the Russian "Star Factory - 6" and for the first time raised Belarus at Eurovision to 6th place.

Dima Koldun was born in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, into a family of teachers. And from childhood he dreamed of becoming a doctor. Moreover, the purposeful boy went to his goal from an early age. He went to school in a special medical class, which he graduated with a silver medal. And after school, he kept approximately the same direction - he entered the chemical department of a local university. And, probably, he would have become a doctor or gone into science, if not for ... witchcraft! Moreover, the role of the main sorcerer in the fate of Dima was played by ... The sorcerer is his own older brother. From childhood, my brother was engaged in just the same music, so he began to seduce Dima with a guitar. Like, come on, learn to play. In general, be that as it may, by the end of his studies at the university, witchcraft worked: in 2004, Dima first appeared on the television screen. For the first time, people saw him on the RTR channel in the show "People's Artist-2". True, Dima did not win the show, but he sunk into the souls of millions of viewers. The girls had to wait for the next meeting with the blue-eyed handsome man for two years. Dima Koldun appeared on television again only in 2006, already at the "Star Factory - 6", where he had already finally and irrevocably won and became famous.

To Dima's credit, it must be said that the guy did not spend the two years between his appearances on the Second and then the First Channel in vain. In 2004 and 2005 Dmitry Koldun worked in the State Concert Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus. That is, he approached music as seriously as he approached his last dream - to become a doctor.

And not in vain. Today, professionals evaluate Dima's musical training and artistic texture in general for all five points. For example, even while participating in the "Factory", the Sorcerer was noticed by musicians legendary band Scorpions, after which they made him an offer to work as the opening act for their concerts and gave him a guitar! Well, after such work, Dima went to a new start - he began preparing for participation in Eurovision 2007, where, having performed a song specially written for him by Philip Kirkorov, he eventually took 6th place, which has never happened to Belarusian performers. Needless to say, after such an achievement in his native Belarus, Dima Koldun became a star of the first magnitude.

Yes, and Russia does not forget Dima, especially since from time to time he can be seen in popular TV shows, for example, "Two Stars", he gives concerts, releases new songs and is busy in the capital's production of the rock opera "The Star and Death of Joaquin Murietta", where plays a major role. In general, as you can see, life is moving forward not by witchcraft, but by real hard work.

As for his personal life, here Dima Koldun, perhaps, is a happy exception among his fellow musicians. In 2012, Dima married Vika, his first love, whom they have been friends with since childhood. Well, in 2013, the couple had a son, Jan. lucky event The Sorcerer comments on his life like this: “And I also want a daughter.” We have no doubt that this will be the case!

How does your day start?

My day usually starts with a cup of coffee. Maybe not even one. Then I do a little exercise - I stretch as far as the stretch allows. After that, I go about my business.

Are you a lark or an owl?

I'm more like an owl. I go to bed early and wake up late. I like to sleep, so the morning is quite problematic for me.

Numerous tours. you are very popular artist, artist. How often do you manage to visit home?

In Minsk, probably, once a month is very good. I'll be happy if it's once a month. And so, probably, once every two months, or even more ...

Is it usually leisure or work?

This, as a rule, rest, sometimes it happens at work. Then I'm overjoyed. Because after all, it turns out to combine pleasant things and see not only family, but also friends. There are many of them here. Still, I love Belarus, I love being here!

What are you actively doing now?

The same thing artists do when they don't have performances. I'm working on new songs. repertoire. I'm going to release a new album in the fall. What it will be called, I have not yet decided.

But no one knows the real story: why did a chemist by training become a successful musician?

Probably because I always wanted to make music. Although my grandmother, when they showed some comedians, performers on stage, mostly overweight, she said: “Well, where do you go with such a muzzle? We have to carry bricks!” And this phrase has sounded to me since childhood. Since I'm not squishy, ​​I also tried it on myself somehow. I thought: “No, I will also sing! Somehow I’ll carry the bricks!”

I chose a rather technical profession for myself. And, by the way, he studied quite well. My average score was 8.2. I even graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry. I remember that I was even awarded a diploma on stage. But anyway creative life took over.

I would like to return to the origins of your creativity. Is it possible to say that, after all, participation in the Star Stagecoach project became a start-up.

Of course you can. In general, it was a unique project. Probably one of the few where the casting was really held, where this project was really covered on television, where there were selections, openings ...

We all came to these castings. I remember, I think it was near the Palace of Trade Unions. There was a crowd in line. Only later, when I managed to get to the "Star Factory", I realized that it was such a rehearsal of what would happen to me next. It was interesting to me, great.

It's a pity they don't do projects like this anymore. There are many others where there are also castings, but such an open one, with diaries, special issues, almost with a live broadcast from the scene on the evening news - this is not the case now. And very sorry. It seems to me a lot talented people The youth are waiting for it.

You are the kind of musician and performer who constantly sums up his work.

What the hell can I draw? I always bring it down with a dotted line. Still, I plan to let her down already in my old age and leave the stage once and for all, and not in the way it usually happens. So far it seems to me that everything is working out for me, and I will work on it further.

Do you still consider yourself a Belarusian “star”, or a Russian one?

I don't really like the word "star". I do what I love and don't particularly consider myself either there or there.

The peoples are all different. All have their own characteristics. its positive aspects. Belarusians, they are so ... dreamy!
