CareerEdit

1998-2004: Early career, New Wave and first albumsEdit

«1998 came about (…) I already studied in the eleventh grade, but I had not graduated yet. During the Winter, I travelled to Moscow and I wrote in my diary [the lyrics of Meladze’s «Vera»]: ‘To the north, to the north, goes the train from nowhere to Moscow. The conductor sleeps, the drunken neighbours sleep.’. It was true that my neighbours were drunk, it was a couchette car. I was writing and writing and thought: this is exactly how my life is going now. I wrote five pages about it. It helped me a lot back then.»^[7]

Bilan represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with «Never Let You Go», finishing second, and he won the contest in 2008 in Belgrade, with the song «Believe». He has had several Russian number one hit records.

  Biography

When Bilan was two years old, his family moved to his grandmother’s place in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan and then to the Greek island Santorini, where he lived for 3 years. When he was six years old, his family moved back to the Soviet Union, to Kabardino-Balkaria where he went to school with his sister. He took part in morning performances, recited poems and sang songs.

Bilan graduated from Gnesins Musical College as a classical vocal performer. He made his debut when he reached fourth place at the Russian/Latvian festival «New Wave» in 2002. In 2003, Bilan released his debut album titled Nochnoy Huligan (Night Hooligan). In 2004, the reissue of the album came out including 20 songs, 16 of the original + four new tracks: Бессердечная (Heartless), В последний раз (The last time), Остановите музыку (Stop the music), Тёмная ночь (Dark Night). Also in 2004 he released his successful single «Na beregu neba» («At The Sky’s Shore») which was also the title of his second album.

  2005 — 2006

Produced by the late Yury Aizenshpis, a Russian music mogul famous for his work with Viktor Tsoi in the Soviet Union, Bilan attempted to reach Eurovision previously with the song «Not That Simple» in 2005, finishing in second place at the Russian national selection. The video for the Russian version of the song was reputably the most expensive in the history of Russia’s music industry. In December 2005, Bilan received two golden gramophones for the song «Ty dolzjna ryadom byt'» (The Russian version of «Not That Simple», actually meaning «You should be beside me») in Saint Petersburg and Almaty. During shootings of «Noviye pyesny o glavnom» («New songs about the main things») he received the grand prize of the First channel from the professional jury. Bilan became Showbusiness Man of the Year because the most voters gave their voices for him according to the version of Rambler. At the end of a year he accepted an invitation from an American agency to record tracks for the musical Peter Pan.

Bilan wore a white vest with the number representing his place in the contest’s running order — 13 and 10 in the semi-final and final respectively.

He qualified in the top ten there (finishing third with 217 points) and moved to the final.

In July 2006, Bilan was one of the four artists who took part in the biggest musical event in Russia of 2006 — «The Red Summer» show in Red Square in Moscow, where he performed on stage with Shakira, The Black Eyed Peas and t.A.T.u.
