He was fond of playing the guitar, imitating the work of the rock group “Chaif” and Viktor Tsoi, and sang in a school vocal and instrumental ensemble.
Because of his youthful maximalism and desire to always achieve justice in everything, he often argued with teachers, defending his own point of view. Excessive ardor, straightforwardness and lack of flexibility of thinking even became the reason that Denis is, in general, positive, hardworking and open child- was registered in the children's room of the police.
Denis's education
After 9th grade, Maidanov entered a chemical-technological technical school, although he could have successfully completed his ten-year education.

This is now in his arsenal - 4 solo albums, collaboration with masters of the Russian stage, participation in the filming of popular TV series and an army of thousands of fans. But it all started not so rosy and beautiful.
Stages of a musical career
The future idol of chanson lovers was born in a small provincial town Saratov region. Denis Maidanov’s parents worked at a local chemical plant, and until the age of 8, nothing special happened in the biography and personal life of the future celebrity - neither early studies at a music school, nor any achievements in the sports field.
Everything changed when his father left the family - Denis’s mother had to work two jobs in order to provide a more or less tolerable existence for herself and her son. Therefore, the boy had to work from the age of 13, helping his mother.
Famous chansonnier Denis Maidanov
At the same time, Maidanov began to become interested in the work of the Chaif group and Viktor Tsoi. Difficult times began at school - the rebellious teenager defended his opinion too zealously, reacted harshly to the slightest manifestations of injustice and eventually became a regular visitor to the children's police room at the local police department.
After the 9th grade, the guy goes to study at a polytechnic school, since both his mother and teachers have no prospects for receiving higher education for the rebellious boy was not seen. Along the way, Maidanov organizes a small vocal and instrumental group, and successfully conquers local concert venues.
The singer took part in a comedy show
At the same time, Maidanov graduated from evening school and submitted documents to the Moscow Institute of Culture. Oddly enough, with a huge competition, Denis manages to enter the capital’s university, from which the artist graduated with success, receiving a specialty as a director of all kinds of shows. Maidanov returns to the Saratov region, having received the position of head of culture in local authorities. Due to his line of work, he has to organize various election campaigns, which forced future star chanson to think about a political career.
However, the desire for self-realization as a songwriter prevailed and Maidanov took part in a musical project, organized by the studio sound recording "Soyuz". Over the course of a year, he recorded his own songs, which enjoyed constant success, but the project was closed, and Maidanov again found himself out of work.
The beginning of success
Denis realized that the prospect of becoming a local official did not suit him, and he set off to conquer the capital. After long ordeals in various production centers, a fateful meeting with Yuri Azenspitz takes place in the biography and personal life of singer Denis Maidanov. The eminent producer broadcasts the song “Silence” performed by Sasha, which became a prize-winning hit at the “Song of the Year” competition. It was then that Maidanov received his first fee - $75.

Having made sure that his work is a success, Maidanov becomes a “hit maker”, i.e. provides for everyone famous singers musical material destined for glory. He doesn’t even think about his own participation in the life of his offspring, fearing to be on the bench again and not wanting to return to a half-starved existence. Gradually, his name becomes known to everyone and Maidanov organizes his own production center, still not believing in his abilities as a performer.
Casual acquaintance
The future wife of the artist, who later became concert director star, came to the capital as a refugee from Tashkent - it was not easy for Russians to live in Uzbekistan at that time. The girl wrote poetry herself and decided to show it to someone to earn extra money. By chance, the closest place she came to in search of an assessment of her work turned out to be the office of producer Maidanov.
Both the author and the composer had their own point of view on the rating works and had a terrible quarrel - the poetess did not like Denis’s remarks. However, chance gave them a second chance, and the young people began to cooperate thanks to mutual acquaintances. The artist considered not only the charming appearance of the young girl, but also the remarkable talent of his chosen one, and soon the couple submitted an application to the registry office.

It was Natalya, the composer’s wife, who initiated it solo career. According to Denis, his wife spent a long time trying to persuade him to become a performer of his own works. He doubted for a long time, arguing that the success of his work could only be ensured by Russian pop stars - Philip Kirkorov, Boris Moiseev, Alexander Marshall and others. Not wanting to risk the well-being of his own family, Maidanov asks his acquaintances from show business for help, torn between the desire to become a singer and maintain the material well-being acquired with such difficulty.
Natalya, however, did not calm down, driving the singer to a white heat with her stubbornness. And Maidanov decides to release the first solo album, bringing together all the accumulated material - soundtracks for famous films, prize-winning hits previously performed by other artists. The collection was brought to the composer resounding success, for concerts with the participation of singer Denis Maidanov, tickets were sold out a month before the announced tour.
Income increased significantly, and the family began to prepare to build their own country house. In addition, in 2008 the couple had their first child, Vladislav’s daughter, so extra square meters have become more relevant than ever.
Chansonnier received an award for his hits
Deprived of fatherly love in childhood, the artist spent his entire life unspent love gave it to my daughter. On family photos of that period, Denis Maidanov looks incredibly happy, since his personal life plays a dominant role in the singer’s biography and work. He carries feelings for his wife through all his songs, as he considers her his guiding star and muse.
She, in turn, actively participates in her husband’s work, being his concert director and organizing all tours. In this she is helped by specialized education and previous work experience - before leaving for maternity leave Denis’s wife worked as a leading marketer in one of the large capital companies.
Home "mafia"
In 2014, his wife gave Maidanov another gift - she gave birth to a son, Borislav, exactly on the singer’s birthday, February 17. Naturally, the position of touring director had to be left for a while, but the young mother did not want to leave her husband’s fate in the wrong hands and continued to control his work from a distance - the singer jokes that Natalya even breastfeeds the baby with the phone to her ear.
The artist adores his large family, and his wife and children are the main people for Denis Maidanov. Therefore, in the singer’s personal life and biography there is no place for loud family scandals or quarrels; the yellow press was unable to unearth a single “fried” fact. With my eldest daughter the artist is unusually close; his wife, according to the composer, calls this inseparable couple “the mafia,” since Vlad comes up with all the tricks and entertainment together with his dad.

The artist's daughter is extraordinary creative child, however, in his dreams Denis sees her in the sports field. It was he who insisted that the girl take up tennis, although her mother and grandmothers unanimously demanded that she continue rhythmic gymnastics. There are constant disputes on this topic in the family - Denis himself has been successfully involved in volleyball and football for a long time.
