Dmitry Yurievich Malikov (Russian: Дмитрий Юрьевич Маликов; born 29 January 1970) is a Russian singer, composer, occasional actor and a recent record producer.
Early life
Dmitry Malikov, who goes by his nickname Dima (Дима), was born in Moscow. His mother, Lyudmila Mikhailovna Vyunkova, was a dancer, and his father, Yuriy Fedorovich Malikov (Юрий Федорович Маликов),[1] was part of a band called Samotsvety (Самоцветы).[2] This combination of parental talent had a large influence in his becoming a musician. In the early 70s, Samotsvety became one of the most popular groups in the USSR, selling several million records. His younger sister, Inna Malikova (Инна Маликова), is also a recording artist.[3] As his father was often on tour, Malikov was brought up by his grandparents.
Music
In 1985, Malikov performed two songs at the Soundtrack Concert (звуковая дорожка / Zvukovaya Dorozhka) organized by the popular Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets (Московский Комсомолец), which was his first major performance.[4]
In 1994, Malikov released his first album, Until Tomorrow (До завтра / Do Zavtra), which had been released twice previously, once in 1993 as With You (С тобой / S Toboy) and in 1992, as Searching Soul (Поиски Души / Poiski Dushi). This was a compilation of his early hits, and the albums were nearly identical. He also released a second album in 1994, titled Come to Me (Иди ко мне / Idi Ko Mne). In 1996, Malikov released an album called Fear of Flying (Страх полета / Strah Polyeta).
The 1998 release of My Distant Star (Звезда моя далекая / Zvezda Moya Dalyokaya) saw one of his most successful singles, "You're the Only One" (Ты одна, ты такая / Ti Odna, Ti Takaya). 2000's Beads (Бисер / Biser) continued Malikov's progression as an artist, with the inclusion of several hard-hitting tracks (including the title track) favoring harder synth sounds.
A compilation of instrumentals, 2001's Game (Игра / Igra), showcased Malikov's creativity. The album contained many ethereal arrangements reminiscent of Fear of Flying. While all songs showcased his pianistic prowess, one in particular, "Wanderer" (Странник / Strannik) ends with a chilling classical climax. Perhaps the most innovative song is the 1955 standard, "Moscow Nights" (Подмосковные вечера / Podmoskovnye Vechera), backed by jazz drums and a chorus of crickets chirping in time. 2002 saw a return to Malikov's thoroughly-enjoyable pop songwriting with Love Story.
Pianomania
In 2006, Malikov brought Pianomania (PIANOMANIЯ) – a mixture of instrumental music, dance shows and colorful performances to life. In December 2010, in France, Dmitry Malikov presented a show of classical music Symphonic Mania - creative development and a new vision of the project PIANOMANIYA.
