Oleg Mityaev comes from a family of a simple worker. Perhaps this is what helped Oleg grow up as a good and bright person with a special sense of beauty. We can say that Oleg is a real romantic. His bardic songs can melt the hearts of even those who do not like this genre of music.
Childhood and the search for oneself
Oleg Grigorievich 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 the mother at that time was the keeper of the hearth. Despite the fact that Oleg's parents were not representatives of the intelligentsia, there was absolutely no mat in their family - everyone treated each other with deep respect and did not allow themselves to speak obscenely, even in the absence of a child.
At the age of 7, Mityaev Jr. went to school. For all the time he changed 3 educational institutions. As Oleg himself later admitted, studying at school was not given to him at all and seemed overwhelming. Only unsatisfactory marks stood in front of his surname in the gradebook. This continued until grade 8. Only then he was able to correct his deplorable situation and reach the "three" and "four".
Like any boy of that time, Oleg spent most of his free time on the street. In the yard, he became very attached to stray dogs and began to take care of them, building booths and getting at least some food. At some point, he woke up with a desire to become a dog handler.
It must be said that the courtyard where Mityaev lived was rather hooligan. Local punks constantly arranged some kind of fights and skirmishes. Thus, some of Oleg's peers later ended up behind bars.
But the boy did not care about all these showdowns. He became interested in playing the guitar, on which he learned the popular songs of that time. And thanks to the popular song "March of the Assemblers", Mityaev wanted to master the profession of an assembler. For this, in 1971 he became a student of the Chelyabinsk assembly technical school. However, the young man quickly realized that this was not the education he would like to receive. It was too late to retreat, so he promised, first of all, to himself that he would graduate from technical school, no matter what it cost him.
As a student at a technical school, Oleg starts swimming. He even managed to get the first grade. Motivation was also added by the promise from the outside, according to which the young man could avoid military service only on condition of playing sports. But everything turned out with accuracy, but the opposite. Mityaev was unexpectedly taken to serve in the Navy for 2 years.
Career
Upon returning from service, in 1977 the guy entered the Institute of Physical Education (now UralSUPC). 4 years later, 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 graduating from the university, he worked for a long time as 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 graduated after 5 years.
I must say that the first official album in the musician's career was released in 1990. The disc was called "Let's talk to you." However, in the arsenal of Mityaev there is an unofficial album, which can rightfully be considered the artist's debut work. The fact is that in the period from 1981 to 1989, Oleg Grigorievich recorded many songs. The collected compositions have resulted in the collection "City of Chelyabinsk".
The discography of the famous bard has about 40 albums, the last of which was released in 2018.
Personal life
For a long time Oleg Grigorievich considered himself a monogamous person and believed that he would meet his only love, with which he would live his whole life. But his ideas were destroyed. This is partly why the musician does not really like to tell anyone about his personal life.
One way or another, it is known that Mityaev is married three times. The first marriage did not last long, but during their life together, the spouses had a son. The second marriage also ended in divorce proceedings. But, despite this, then his wife bore him two sons.
At the moment, the man has been living with his third wife, whose name is Marina, for more than 14 years. The woman has a daughter, Daria, from a previous marriage.
