Dmitri Anatolevich Fomin (Russian: ÃÂüøÃÂÃÂøù "ÃÂøÃÂÃÂ" ÃÂýðÃÂþûÃÂõòøàäþüøý; born 17 January 1974), known by his stage name Mitya Fomin, is a Russian solo singer, dancer and producer. Between 1998 and 2009, he was a member of the dance group Hi-Fi.
He was born to Anatoly Fomin (1939-2014), an associate professor at the Institute of Communications and Tamara Fomina (1942), an engineer.
From January 2018 to 2021, Fomin was banned for 3 years from entering Ukraine because of his claim (during a concert in Lviv) that since the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, Crimea is a "Russian territory." In April or May 2022, Fomin participated in a concert organized in order to support the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Later on, Mitya Fomin moved to Moscow where his friends producer Eric Chanturia and composer Pavel Esenin offered him to join Hi-Fi in 1998 with Oksana Oleshko and later on Tatyana Tereshina.
While in the group, Mitya started working with many writers and composers for his own work and decided to leave the group in January 2009 after more than 10 years with the band.
In March 2009, he collaborated with songwriter and producer Maxim Fadeev in releasing his debut solo single "ÃÂòõ ÷õüûø".
He released at the end of 2010 his debut solo album âðú ñÃÂôõà(meaning So it will be) that included his hits and other rhythmic, relax, ambient and easy dance songs. He also released single "ÃÂõÃÂõ÷øüÃÂõü" again featuring StuFF with a video directed by Mitya himself. He also collaborated with the Pet Shop Boys in his dance hit single "ÃÂóýø ñþûÃÂÃÂþóþ óþÃÂþôð (Paninaro)" (Ogni Bolshogo Goroda meaning City Lights) and finally "ÃÂõ üðýõúõý" with Christina Orsa (ÃÂÃÂøÃÂÃÂøýð ÃÂÃÂÃÂð) filmed in Hong Kong.
Besides directing many of his music videos, Mitya Fomin is also directing videos for other artists, for example Yena's "ÃÂúÃÂñþù" (Exboy). He is also involved in 2011 series of Russian reality television show ÃÂõýð ýðÿÃÂþúðÃÂ.
