Mitya Fomin is a Russian singer, musician, producer, and lyricist. Fans associate him as a permanent member and leader of the pop group. Hi-Fi. For this period of time, he is engaged in "pumping" his solo career.
Childhood and youth of Dmitry Fomin
The artist's date of birth is January 17, 1974. He was born on the territory of provincial Novosibirsk. Dmitry's parents had the most remote relation to creativity. The head of the family is a respected associate professor, his mother is a patent engineer.
According to Fomin, he had a really happy childhood. Parents tried to give their son and daughter (Mitya has a sister, who also went into the creative profession) all the best. As a child, Dmitry read a lot. Fortunately, parents encouraged their children to buy fascinating literature.
He collected children's cars and military equipment. Also, he loved pets. There were many pets in the Fomins' house. When Mitya held a matriculation certificate in his hands and said that he wanted to become a veterinarian, his parents were not at all surprised.
The father was not very happy with the choice of his son. He justified his opinion by the fact that a veterinarian is not a very prestigious profession. The head of the family advised Mitya to think about the profession of a doctor. The guy listened to the opinion of his parents, and entered the medical university, choosing the department of pediatrics for himself. During this period of time, Fomin visits the theater university as a free listener.
He fell in love with the theatre. Soon Dmitry went to Moscow to enter the theater. 4 universities were ready to open the door to their educational institution for a talented guy. Despite this, he received a diploma from a medical university.
During this period of time, Mitya Fomin took root in Moscow. Fomin became a student of the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A. Gerasimov. It is not difficult to guess that his choice fell on the acting course. He studied for only six months, and then dropped out. The rapidly developing career of a singer prompted him to make such a radical decision.
The creative path of the artist Mitya Fomin
During this period of time, he meets the founders of the Hi-Fi team. They invited Mitya to become a member of the pop project. He agreed, and signed a contract for as much as 10 years.
At the sunset of the 90s of the last century, music lovers were waiting for a pleasant discovery in the form of the Hi-Fi team. This project opened the door to a wonderful future for Fomin.
Almost immediately after the group was founded, the team began filming a video for the track "Ne dano". The work "shot", and the members of the group turned out to be real stars. Fomin pulled out a "lucky ticket".
During the existence of the pop project, the composition has changed several times. So, Ksenia was the first to leave the group. In her place came the charming Tanya Tereshina. The latter was soon replaced by Catherine Lee. Fomin remained a part of the group for a long time, but soon he also decided to start as a solo artist. He was replaced by Kirill Kolgushkin.
Fomin's departure became a real "mourning" for the producers and fans of the group. For a long time, the Hi-Fi project was associated with his name. In turn, Mitya treated his decision philosophically. He just outgrew the group.
During the work in the team with the participation of Fomin, 3 full-length LPs were published. He starred in numerous videos and toured a lot not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders.
By the way, until 2009 the group's tracks were performed by Pavel Yesenin. According to the composer, Mitya has vocal abilities, but they are not suitable for the group's repertoire. Fomin himself is uncomfortable from the fact that he did not perform tracks, but, as it were, “imitated” singing.
