He is most commonly known by his shortened first name, Vitas, or Витас in Russian. His eclectic pop music is often difficult to categorise, incorporating elements of techno, opera, dance, jazz, and folk (baltic) music.
One of his trademarks is his extremely high pitched falsetto, which has enchanted his audience and has contributed to his popularity. Because of the operatic use of Vitas’ voice, combined with his dance / folk like music, his style can be characterized as popera or pop opera.
Vitas has achieved much notablity through Russian television, and since 2005 his career has advanced into Asian markets. He has signed with entertainment labels such as Universal which distributes his music in Taiwan, and he has toured extensively in China and several other countries. He has performed duets with many other singers including Demis Roussos, Lucio Dalla, and Vitas’ grandfather Arkadiy Davydovich Marantsman (Аркадий Давыдович Маранцман), with whom he sings “Friendship”.
History / career
Vitas became notable in Russia in December 2000 with hit Opera No. 2, which was notable for use of Vitas’ surprisingly high-pitched and energetic use of falsetto.
His concert program Philosophy of Miracle premiered at the State Kremlin Palace on 29 March 2002, establishing a record for Vitas as the youngest artist ever to perform a solo concert at this prestigious venue. A DVD of this concert was released. He also presented his fashion collection “Autumn Dreams” on the stage of the State Kremlin Palace in 29 September 2002.
Vitas received an invitation from Lucio Dalla, the composer, who created “Caruso”, to perform this song together with the author at the concert “San Remo in Moscow” held in the State Kremlin Palace in 2003. Vitas’ voice enchanted not only the audience but Mr. Dalla himself, so the composer invited Vitas to come to Rome to take part in the rehearsals of “Toska”, the modern version of the legendary opera.
Vitas presented his second solo program “The Songs of My Mother” in the Rossia Concert Hall, Moscow in November 2003. Two albums: “The Songs of My Mother” and “Mama” of the artist were released for the premiere. The album “The Songs of My Mother” included the songs which are considered to be the gold reserves of Russian pop-music. Another album “Mama” included several new songs composed by Vitas. The two albums were a dedication to his mother who died in 2001. In 2003, he gave 264 solo concerts in places including Russia, Australia, Canada, Israel, Germany, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Belarus.
Vitas also starred in a murder mystery television series called “Beloved Scoundrel” in English, and “Сволочь ненаглядная” in Russian in which he played (appropriately) a pop singer with an unusually high voice. He also starred in a comedy called Crazy Day.
