In the rock opera "веда и мерт дороет ("The Star and the Death of Joaqun Murety) staged at the Lenkom Theatre, he appeared as Joaqun.

Koldun was born with a sense of teen idolhood in the Russophone world after his Fabrika Zvyozd and Eurovision triumph, but he later developed to a more mature image. Koldun has five studio albums and one extended play. Koldun has established himself as one of Belarus' most well-known and popular entertainers, and he has enjoyed long-term commercial success in neighboring Russia, despite his general scandal-free image.

Early life

Koldun was born in Minsk, Belarusian SSR, USSR, Koldun. Georgy, his older brother, is his uncle. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he decided to stay with his mother, while their brother went to live with their father. Later, he said that the divorce was painful for him and that it was not something he wanted to repeat for himself.

Personal life

Many people have compared Koldun's appearance to that of Diana.

Koldun confessed to hair discoloring. "My hair color changes every year" says the artist. "I had thick hair in my elementary years." But not right now. I suspect it is the cause of the Chernobyl tragedy." Koldun says his hair color has changed from blonde to the 'burning' brunette he is today, at an early age in school, with some days going darker.

In 2012, he married Viktoria, his childhood sweetheart. He has two children, a son (born 2012) and a daughter (born 2016). Koldun divides his time between his house in Minsk and his apartment in Moscow.

The singer was admitted to a hospital in Minsk in July 2020 and was ill with symptoms of COVID-19. Koldun's hospitalization attracted considerable media attention in both Belarus and Russia. He had opened a water fountain a few days before his hospitalization, and the president had been watching him closely for the COVID-19 pandemic treatment. Koldun did not have the disease, according to a Belarusian Ministry of Health, who later reported in the media that he had tested positive.

Career

He attempted to appear in the RTR show Narodnyi Artist-2 in 2004, but did not qualify to the main stage in 2004, but did not qualify. He did not deter his musical interest, and in 2004, and 2005, he worked in the Republic of Belarus's State Concert Orchestra led by Mikhail Finberg, as well as in the Grand-Prix studio headed by composer Oleg Eliseenkov. Koldun took part in Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk in July 2005.

Koldun won the sixth season of the Russian television show Fabrika Zvyozd on Channel One in 2006. Koldun was a very popular candidate in the contestants' common living space, owing to his eccentric and carefree behavior. Koldun said that it was not necessarily singing that was important in Fabrika Zvyozd, but rather the way you act on camera and that he understood it right from the start.

Koldun appeared on Fabrika Zvyozd with many musicians, including the well-known Scorpions' "Still Loving You" after which he was invited by soloist Klaus Meine to perform this song on a joint tour. Koldun's fame in Russia and other former Soviet states made him popular in Russia and other former Soviet states. Koldun joined the National Music Corporation and became the soloist of the reformed group K.G.B. (Koldun, Gurkov, Barsukov, Barsukov) - a film that was in the works.

Koldun, the group's former captain, was sent back to Belarus to take part in Eurofest. Koldun's "Angel Mechty" received 412 votes, 32 percent of the public vote in the preliminary round. Koldun had been scheduled to perform "Get Up," a Viktor Drobysh-produced song. However, Eurovision web site ESCKAZ discovered that the song had already been released commercially by Finnish band The Ratzz. Jörgen Elofsson, Maki Kolehmainen, and Tracy Lipp's debut song "Aave" in Finnish was included on Jörgen Elofsson's debut album with the band Hard Ratzz Hallelujah. "We were unaware that Dmitry Koldun had been performing the song," ESCKaz told ESCKaz by a representative of the Helsinki Music Centre. HMC & BMG Music Publishing Scandinavia Scandinavia has the rights for both "Aave" and "Get Up, Get Down, Get Crazy" as a result of the release of the song on The Ratz album. ESCKaz also discovered Koldun was on the radio in Belarus at the beginning of September, with the singer "Get Up" being on a Star Factory 6 tour. The song was also available on the internet since mid-September. Both are banned by "Eurovision Song Contest 2007" rules that prohibit competing songs from being performed openly until October 6, 2006. "The songs for competition ("entries") (lyrics and music) must not have been released or publicly performed before October 1, 2006, and the same rule is repeating in the following case, paragraph 2.1. The entry as a copyright thing must not have been announced on the Internet or some other medium."

However, Russian producer and singer Philipp Kirkorov performed "Work Your Magic" in the national final, with lyrics written by Karen Kavaleryan. At the second stage of the Belarusian selection, Koldun accepted the challenge and performed "Work Your Magic." Koldun was eventually selected by a jury chaired by Alexander Tikhanovich and named him as the winner of the competition.

The song was performed in the semi-finals as Belarus had not placed the 2006 Contest in the top ten. Here's a look at what it was like in Cyprus (following Evridiki's "Comme Ci, Comme a") and preceding Iceland's Eirkur Hauksson with Valentine Lost). The song secured 176 points in the semi-finals on May 10th, placing 4th in a field of 28 and qualifying Belarus for the final.

Following Spain's "I Love You Mi Vida" and preceding Ireland's Dervish with "They Can't Stop The Spring," the group finished third in the final on May 12th. Koldun gained the maximum 12 points from Israel, Russia, and Ukraine, achieving 6th position in a field of 24, the highest level ever occupied by Belarus.

Following Koldun's success in Eurovision and the success of "Work Your Magic" as a big hit, there were controversies over who would be Koldun's producer. Philipp Kirkorov (producer of "Work Your Magic") and Victor Drobysh (producer of "Get Up"), two outspoken producers who wanted to work with Koldun, met in the media, speaking out against each other in the media. However, it was Alexander Lunyov, who was known for the film "Never Let You Go" by Dima Bilan, who became Koldun's producer. Lunev will then produce Koldun's debut album.

Koldun left working with Lunev in 2008 due to differing viewpoints. Lunev did not want songs written by Koldun on his debut album. Koldun is now his own engineer, and his album debut has been postponed once more. Alexander Astashenok (a Russian musician and member of Russian band орни (Roots)) founded Lizard (ериа or Yasheritsa in Russian) in 2009.

Koldun announced in 2008 that he would appear in "Russia's very first rock opera." Koldun was initially hired to perform the songs, but popular Russian composer Alexey Rybnikov insisted that Koldun appear in the opera "веда и мерт на урет (The Star and the Death of Joaqun Murety), alongside Svetlana Svetikova and Igor Sandler, which Koldun accepted. The opera's cast members, as well as the Moscow government's financial assistance, were all able to assist the opera.

The opera is based on Joaquin Murrieta's life, who was a semi-legendary figure in California during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s. The opera was partially inspired by Murrietta's fictional character. Svetikova portrayed Murrieta's love affair in the opera. Murrieta is the opera's version of a popular tale. Some say Murrieta is a hero, while others are a villain. Murrieta is depicted in the Russian opera as a hero who must prove his innocence despite his "Wanted" fame.

Koldun had a long line of radio hits in Russia between 2013 and 2017. Koldun's single "Gorod bol'shikh ogney" ("The city of large fires") debuts at number 6 on Russia's TopHit radio charts, with the single "Gorod bol'shikh ogney" ("The city of large fires" ("The city of fires" ("The city of large fires." For more than a month, the album remained in the top tenths of the top 100. The album debuted on Russian radio as the 12th most popular song on Russian radio and the sixth most popular song in Russian. Koldun worked on his album "Pochemu" in 2014, where he dyed his hair blonde.

Koldun released the single "Potseluy menya" in honor of his second child, a daughter, in 2016. The song's lyrics were written by himself. The single achieved a top-ranking in Russia, ranked at #17 on the charts, and it peaked at #17.
