From Album: "Vitas ~ Улыбнись!(Smile!)"

Vitas (Russian: Витас, born 19 February 1981, Daugavpils, Latvian SSR), is a Russian pop singer, composer, actor, and fashion designer. He is most commonly known by his shortened first name, Vitas, or Витас in Russian, also sometimes written or typed as Bumac which is how his name in Russian cursive appears when compared to letters in the Roman alphabet. Much of his music is mainstream pop sometimes influenced by techno, and occasionally classical opera.

He has received much of his fame through Russian television and is planning to sign to entertainment labels in countries such as China, Korea, and Japan in order to expand to those markets. Vitas' 2000 video "Opera #2" (which includes a scene in which he plays the accordion naked) has been forwarded frequently via the Internet, which accounts for much of his worldwide recognition.

His total CD sales reportedly exceed 100 million, and 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".  ~ From Wiki
