An ordinary teenager began writing electronic music and at the age of 18 became a Grammy Award nominee. Enjoy a cinematic story about a boy who… survived I could find myself in a fairy tale.
The footage shows the most listened to Russian musician on Spotify, Dmitry Øneheart Volynkin. He started writing music at age 11 in FL Studio. I made it for myself, posted the tracks on spotik and eventually took off thanks to the meme-like ambient tracks (which ones you’ll understand after watching the video).
Now it is listened to by 8.3 million people per MONTH. To understand: it’s as if absolutely all residents of St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Perm and Orekhovo-Zuev near Moscow were listening to him. Dima's most popular track “Snowfall” has received more than 660 million plays. At some point, together with fellow musicians Alexander Antent and Din Corso, they made a collaboration – it also took off, and one of them sent an application for a Grammy.
In the ranking of the most popular artists from Russia, he surpassed Basta, Big Baby Tape, foreign agent Morgenshtern, the Tatu group and even Pyotr Tchaikovsky. At the same time, he lives in a very ordinary apartment in Tambov, and when we called him, he was in general working out. In a conversation with us he said:

They come up to me and say: “Damn, how is life for you there as the most listened to artist on spot from Russia?” And I was like, “Well, usually, it’s simple.” I've been asked this question many times. I still answered: “Well, usually.” I just live, I just continue to make music, I just study.
