Almost everyone agrees that in most cases, people are born without any professional predispositions, so that maternity hospitals are not full-born teachers, athletes, physicists or bankers. But there are some areas of human activity, mainly the so-called creative in respect of which the said proverb is still not quite right. Take, for example, musicians, of course, none of the infants did not have the skills to play musical instruments, but all the same heredity and family environment can often about a particular artist said that he was born a musician. How can we say about Dmitry Malikov.

Direct way to the stage

Born January 29, 1970 in Moscow, Dmitry Malikov got into the atmosphere, which condemned it to a musical future. Well, how could it be otherwise, when his parents were associated with the music directly? His father, Yuri Malikov, was a professional musician, composer, founder and leader of vocal-instrumental ensemble "Gems", mother, Lyudmila convolvulaceae was a ballet dancer. And then there's also regular guests, and the house and the family were friends of parents, who by a strange coincidence, as the vast majority of played music in its various guises.

So Dima was prepared only one road - in the musicians on stage .  However, for the time being not understanding his musical destiny happy boy dreamed, like all Soviet boys seventies, becoming a professional hockey player and like Kharlamov and Yakushev destroy the right and left of the Finns and the Swedes and Canadians for dessert .  And at some point Malikov Jr. even almost tricked harsh music sudbinushku as malicious way truant in the music school for hockey matches with peers .  But the happy coincidence of severe parental disciplinary decisions tighten nuts and finally awakened his own interest in music has done its job .  The country has lost a potential member of the hockey team and found a promising musician .  At the age of fourteen Dmitry gained first experience of self-songwriting, and then began to act headed by the father of VIA "Gems" as a keyboardist, and in 1985 he made his debut on television in the program "Wider Circle", performing the song "I'm painting" .  Further - more, performed on television song "Terem Mansion", "Moon Dream", "tomorrow" and "You're my never be" lightning did Dmitry Malikov favorite of the public, especially the young and the female, so that by 1991 when the Soviet perestroika Estrada was transformed into a Russian show business, he was already one of the most popular country singers .

Again, a high genre

On further progress Dmitry Malikov in the field of domestic show business are well aware. And that in 1990 he was one of the most hit Russian composers and performers. And that Malik was one of the rare exceptions to the Russian show business, the composition of which were really good quality and if they do not conform to the highest international pop standards (say like it would have been obvious brute-force), but in any case, does not cause rejection I have a little bit musically educated listeners. And the fact that he was one of the first domestic celebrities who began to appear in advertisements not fraudulent pyramid schemes, and solid foreign brands (remember the famous, albeit a short movie with anti-dandruff shampoo). All this is well known.

Much less known to the other side of creativity Dmitry Malikov, which regards it as a serious classical musician. But the People's Artist of Russia (the title was awarded in 2010) Dmitry Malikov for more than 15 years and is actively engaged in this kind of music. In 1994, he graduated with honors from the Moscow Conservatory and since then regularly gives concerts of classical piano music. So, in 1995 he performed a concert of Franz Liszt, accompanied by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, in 1997, gave piano concerts in Germany and recorded the first instrumental album "Fear of Flying". And since 2006 was carried out on the initiative and launched largely under the leadership of Dmitry Malikov scale project "PIANOMANIYA" is the first in Russia instrumental show, which takes place in the framework of the symbiosis of classical music, folk music, ethnic and modern musical trends.
