In the music world he is called a "famous hitmaker". In 2001 Denis Maidanov came and started working in Moscow as a poet and composer of songs for Russian performers. During the period from 2001 to 2011, he created a fairly large number of works. His songs are often heard on TV and radio, they are sung by: Nikolai Baskov, Philip Kirkorov, Natalia Vetlitskaya, Boris Moiseev, Alexander Marshal, Julian, Joseph Kobzon, Marina Khlebnikova, "White Eagle", Ed Shulzhevsky and others. Denis Maidanov wrote songs and soundtracks for such films and series as Avtonomka (NTV), Vorotyly (Channel One), Zone (NTV), Angelica (Russia 1), Shift (film distribution), “Evlampiya Romanova. The investigation is conducted by an amateur "(STS)," Revenge "(NTV)

But in the life of Denis Maidanov there is the main side of his work. These are songs written not for pop performers, but for themselves. These songs were created not in a day, not in a month, or even in a year, but in a decade. After listening to the demo versions of these tracks, both friends who have nothing to do with music and influential people in show business, the verdict was the same: “This is strong! It will be an event! The country must hear it! " And then it happened: 2009 was a turning point in Maidanov's career - from writing hits for others, Denis moved on to recording a solo album. And instantly “hit the top ten” - the first author's album of Denis Maidanov “Eternal Love” was published in June 2009 and sold thousands of copies, and songs from it do not leave the charts and sound from everywhere. The second album “The Rented World” was presented and released in April 2011. According to Maidanov, he has 3 more albums ahead of him, and their release is now only a matter of time.

Denis Maidanov graduated from the directing department of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts. One of the major subjects was Acting. Therefore, Denis's creative talent is not limited to music. Despite his active musical activity, he still manages to act in films. The secret of Denis's popularity is simple: he is not chasing Hollywood glamor, he is not trying to "surpass" his colleagues with the number of special effects in songs and videos. He simply sings about life, about what is commonly called "eternal values" - family, loyalty, friendship, the need to make choices and decisions at times, about the endurance of character and the beauty of relations between a man and a woman. His main instruments are voice, guitar and the sincerity with which he addresses the audience. At concerts, Denis Maidanov always works only live, accompanied by a group of his musicians.

Listeners call Maidanov's songs "Diary of Life", but not his personal, but general. Sometimes it seems that his songs are just a conversation overheard by chance with a beloved or close friend, and sometimes - an intense dialogue with himself. And this ingenious simplicity is another secret of the author's and performer's success. His songs can be easily played on the guitar and sung in the company.
