A brief biography
Vitas was born in Latvia on February 19, 1981, as shown in the promotional image for Vitas' album "Eternal Kiss". When he was young, he learned to play the organ under the influence of his grandfather, and under his grandfather's leadership, he often performed amateur performances in Odessa, Ukraine. As a teenager (the exact year is still uncertain) he entered the Odessa Conservatory to study. Anatoly Padocca, the then dean of the Conservatory of Music, exclaimed that Vitas was "a gift from God."
The person who discovered Vitas from Odessa was the famous Russian music producer Sergei Pudovkin. After listening to a tape of Vitas singing in Odessa, Pudovkin lamented that he had "discovered the genius of Russian music." Soon, Vitas came to Moscow with Pudovkin and officially began to enter the Russian music scene under the stage name Vitas.
In 2000, Vitas' concert in the Kremlin was a huge success, and he quickly became a pop star that attracted worldwide attention. His famous song "Opera 2" (Опера #2) became the most popular single of the year in Russia. In this single, Vitas demonstrates his vocal range spanning five octaves, which is extremely shocking. The famous singer Pugacheva, known as the "Godmother of Russian Music", said after listening to "Opera 2" sung by Vitas: "I was so excited that I shed tears, whether it was for the music or his performance."
So far, Vitas*** has released 7 albums, all of which are sung in Russian. As of the beginning of 2005, he had held more than 1,000 solo concerts in 16 countries. As of early 2005, his album CD sales have exceeded 10 million. In addition, Vitas is known for its unprecedented touring performances. From 2004 to 2005, his theme tour "My Mother's Song" traveled to Russia, the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Kazakhstan, Israel and the Baltic countries. It has performed more than 250 times so far, and this tour is expected to The performance lasted until October 2006.
In addition to his singing career, some of Vitas' other actions are still eye-catching. These actions include:
In 2002, at the private invitation of the World Alliance Council "Drug-Free Intelligence" organization, Vitas and its producer Sergei Pudovkin joined the organization's management board, and became an honorary member of the organization. The organization's members also include all Russian imams and prime ministers of more than 20 countries. During a purification ceremony at the foot of the sacred mountain of Tashtar-Ata, Vitas was awarded the 350-million-year-old "World Stone". Legend has it that this stone absorbs all the good things that have happened to mankind throughout the world.
On September 29, 2002, Vitas held his fashion design conference "Autumn Dream" on the stage of the Kremlin. The show consists of 42 women's costumes, some of which have been exhibited in Alma-Atay, Vilnius, Berlin, Tashkent, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon. Now Mr. Pudovkin is negotiating with Western companies to promote the Vitas brand and arrange clothing production lines.
In December 2002, Vitas starred in the TV series adapted from Madame Dusova's novel "The Loved Villain". The character he plays is an artist who comes to the capital from a provincial town and causes a sensation on the pop stage with his unique voice and singing. Vitas composed two songs for the film's music. During the filming, the producers of the series proposed to Sergey Pudovkin to extend the contract for the next series.
In the spring of 2003, the play "Victor, Child of Power" adapted from Roger Vitraque's stage play premiered at the Mayakovsky Bolshoi Theater, with Vitas playing the leading role - a nine-year-old boy.
In January 2003, Vitas participated in the Indian Film Festival held in Delhi from the 6th to the 11th. As part of the festival, he gave a solo performance and participated in the opening ceremony.

Vitas (Russian writing: Витас, pronounced: Voitas),
Almost no one knows his real name, and no one knows where to find him.
He is mysterious because he never gives interviews to the media.
He is very different because he dares to wear the brightest lipstick, as bright as a pomegranate.
He is very charming, as long as he stands on the stage, as long as he opens his mouth to sing, you can't help but look at him.
His eyes are like a ghost, instantly making you lose your ability to resist as if you were under a spell.
There are four theories about him: The first one is that he is suspected of being a castrato; the second one is that he never mentions that his name is Vitas; the third one is that he particularly likes fish; the fourth one is that he is particularly fond of fish. , he is also a fashion designer.
This is the most popular introduction about him on the Internet. Other than that, there is no further description. His mystery was set up from the beginning.
On October 2, 2000 AD, he set a record for the youngest age of a singer ever to have sung in the Kremlin. He should have been only 19 years old that year. It was also that year that Vitas became popular all over the world with "Опера №2". This song is "Опера №2" from the opera "Опера". Its shocking high range is rarely performed. And Vitas's treble, which was more beautiful than a woman's and more gorgeous than a ghost's, shocked all the audience present. In addition, his band accompaniments are all covered in black gauze, which is extremely supernatural. It was not until 2004 that the Internet gave Chinese audiences a preliminary understanding of this Russian singer.
The most terrible thing is that his "beauty" and stage charm can hit and conquer all men and women. His singing voice has never been evaluated as human beings, and because of his mystery, various speculations have arisen. Like the spread of smallpox, the most eye-catching thing about this is his undifferentiated vocal cords. He is extremely talented and is even said to be a "castrati singer". Whether this Russian singer is a castrato is probably just a rumor, with no real evidence. Moreover, the average castrato has vague male features, no beard, and excessive subcutaneous fat: some castratos have very plump breasts, resembling women. But in addition to being "gorgeous", Vitas' muscles also look beautiful, and the male vocals in front of him are very natural and there is nothing wrong with them. It's just that in the high notes, the male and female are indistinguishable, and there is a strange beauty that shocks people's hearts. Whether it's true or not, the high notes are really catchy. If he only imitates the singing style of a castrato, his voice can only be called a gift from God.
Attachment: Vitas’ most shocking MTV
The above is an introduction to him on the Internet, as well as his fairy tales, that’s all. That person, that person who is good at psychology, that person who is invulnerable... In fact, he is not a human being, I think.
Regarding his introduction, the high pitch is the most prominent feature. Yes, the treble, that high-pitched range, has cut off the abrupt sharpness, and instead has a rounded and soft tone, like a violin, elastic and melodious. In the past, I really hated men singing high notes. The treble is just a hot spot, he is talented, and he sings in many different genres, including Jazz, Opera, Pop... but that one song, the pure and gentle voice of the song, is immediately taken away from his breath when he hears it.
It is irrefutable. To a certain extent, I like alternatives, and I choose them with bias. It can be said that I am very picky about alternatives. However, his alternative style is exactly what I like. Even though he had the reddest lipstick on his lips, even though he showed a charming look, it actually made me feel something different. And his eyes, their beauty mixed with the magic power that seduces the soul, reveal a trace of enchantment. If there were vampires, this might be it. I looked at it and found it beautiful. To other men, I would see this as perverted.
He does not accept interviews from the media and sticks to his own way, like a mystery. Perhaps this is his cleverness. Mystery is a magic potion that never fails. There are a thousand kinds of hype, and one of them will hit you. I was just hit by this stick, my eyes were filled with stars, my head was clear, and I was overjoyed.
