Oleg Mityaev hails from a simple worker’s family. Perhaps this is what helped Oleg to grow up to be a good and bright person with a special sense of beauty. We can say that Oleg is a real romantic. His bard songs are capable of melting the hearts of even those who do not like this genre of music.
Childhood and self-search
Oleg Grigoryevich Mityaev was born on February 19, 1956, and is a native of the city of Chelyabinsk. Oleg was the only child in the family. By the way, his parents are the simplest people who had neither fame nor wealth. The boy’s father worked at a local pipe-rolling plant, because Chelyabinsk, as you know, is an industrial city. And mother at that time was the keeper of the hearth. Despite the fact that Oleg’s parents were not representatives of the intelligentsia, their family did not have a mat at all - everyone treated each other with deep respect and did not allow themselves to use foul language, even in the absence of a child.
At 7 years old, Mityaev Jr. went to school. For all the time he replaced 3 educational institutions. As Oleg himself later admitted, studying at school was completely impossible for him and seemed overwhelming. In the gradebook opposite his surname were only unsatisfactory marks. This continued until the 8th grade. Only then he was able to correct his deplorable situation and reach the “triples” and “fours”.
Like any boy of that time, Oleg spent most of his free time on the street. In the courtyard, he became very attached to stray dogs and began to look after them, building booths and getting at least some kind of food. At some point, a desire to become a dog handler woke up in him.
I must say that the courtyard where Mityaev lived was rather hooligan. Local punks constantly arranged some fights and skirmishes. Thus, some of Oleg's peers were later imprisoned.
But the boy did not care at all about this showdown. He became interested in playing the guitar, on which he learned popular songs of that time. And thanks to the popular song "March of the installers", Mityaev wanted to learn the profession of installer. For this, in 1971 he became a student at the Chelyabinsk assembly technical school. However, the young man quickly realized that this was not the kind of education that he would like to receive. It was too late to retreat, so he promised himself, first of all, that he would graduate from a technical school, no matter what it cost him.
As a student at a technical school, Oleg begins swimming. He even managed to get the first rank. Motivation was also added by a promise from the side, according to which the young man could avoid military service only on condition of playing sports. But everything turned out with accuracy, but vice versa. Mityaev unexpectedly for 2 years taken away to serve in the fleet.
Career
Upon returning from service, in 1977 the guy entered the Institute of Physical Education (now - UralGUFK). After 4 years, Mityaev leaves the walls of the alma mater with a red diploma in his hands. During his student days, Oleg composed and performed his own songs at various competitions and festivals. After graduation, for a long time he was occupied with the work of a teacher at his university. However, in 1985 he received an invitation from the Chelyabinsk Philharmonic to become one of their artists. And in 1986, the young performer entered GITIS, which he successfully completed after 5 years.
I must say that the first official album in the career of a musician was released in 1990. The album was called "Let's Talk to You." However, in the arsenal of Mityaev there is an unofficial album, which can rightly be considered the debut work of the artist. The fact is that in the period from 1981 to 1989, Oleg G. recorded many songs. The collected compositions poured into the collection "City of Chelyabinsk".
The discography of the famous bard has about 40 albums, the last of which was released in 2018.
