The singer (pictured right) first appeared on the Russian stage with his hit, Opera No 2 in December 2000, which went on to become a classic. Vitas, as he is known to Chinese fans, has been a favorite singer of Russian audiences ever since. But the video also won him fans from other countries, especially in China. Lacking knowledge of the Russian language was no barrier for thousands of admirers from China, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. When they first heard Vitas sing, they loved his creative work, his voice and his songs. Vitas is a creative artist with a unique approach to songwriting. Instead of sticking to one form of music, he branches out to many different styles.

In his singles, Opera No 1, and Opera No 2, he hits high octaves and difficult notes, in a style somewhat unusual for a pop singer.

Songs such as Internet Nastroyenie sound more like electropop, while songs like Unlucky suggest folk influences.

Vitas stays in InterContinental Beijing Financial Street.
