Dmitry Malikov

Dmitry Yurievich Malikov (Russian: Дмитрий Юрьевич Маликов) (born 29 January 1970) is a Russian composer, singer, and a recent record producer. He was also an actor in one movie. == Early life == Dmitry Malikov, who goes by his nickname Dima (Дима), was born in Moscow, Soviet Union. His mother, Lyudmila Mikhailovna Vyunkova, was a dancer, and his father, Yuriy Fedorovich Malikov (Юрий Федорович Маликов), was part of a band called Samotsvety (Самоцветы). This combination of parental talent had a large influence in his becoming a musician. In the early '70's, Samotsvety became one of the most popular...
