Dmitriy Malikov (born January 29, 1970, Moscow, USSR) is one of the most successful Russian pop singers, composers and piano players, who remains one of the leading figures on Moscow's music scene.
Dmitriy was born into a musical family: his father was a prolific composer and band leader and his mother was a dancer. So it was no surprise that during his childhood his parents encouraged him to play music. 
Graduating from the famous Moscow Conservatory as a classical pianist, Dmitry decided to pursue a career as a pop singer and at that time he simply enjoyed making music and being on stage, never imagining that one day he would eventually come back to his classical roots. But being a musician of unusually broad appeal, he desperately wanted to combine elements of classical and modern "new age" music to create his own style, based on the well-known traditions of the Russian piano school. 
"I always tried to break the boundaries between different genres of music, I don't care much about labels" - says Dmitriy. 
His success as a live performer is no doubt due to his charismatic and friendly stage personality (by the way, he is hosting a very successful children's TV show!) plus his highly skilled musicianship.
So, Dmitriy Malikov is not only one of the most famous, but also one of the most beloved musicians in Russia.
