Dima Bilan whose real name is Viktor Belan is one of the most successful Russian pop singer of the mid-2000s. Originated from Karachai-Cherkess Republic Dima Bilan finished a musical school in Kabardino-Balkaria and then famous Gnesins Musical College in Moscow. The good-looking graduate with sweet voice attracted attention of a prosperous producer Yury Aizenshpis, well-known for his work with Kino, Technologia, Vlad Stashevsky and many other Russian pop groups and artists. With inherent feeling for gaps in the Russian pop music movement Yury Aizenshpis created an image for Bilan that was romantic, rowdy, strong, courageous, and tender at the same time. Dima Bilan debuted at New Wave Song Contest 2002 in Latvia and took fourth place. His first albums Nochnoi Khuligan [Night Hooligan] and Na Beregu Neba [On the Heaven's Shore], released in 2003 and 2004, respectively, gained wide public admiration. During 2005 Bilan won a number of pop music awards.
