Danil Pluzhnikov: biography
Danil Pluzhnikov was born in Adler, the regional center of one of the four inner city districts of the resort city of Sochi. The boy was born into a family where both parents love music. Mom sings and plays the piano, dad plays drums and guitar. It's not surprising that little Danya, having barely learned to speak, he already sang all the songs from the Bremen Town Musicians under karaoke.
The clear and cloudless sky over this family began to become covered with clouds when Danila was 10 months old. Mom noticed that her son stopped growing and gaining weight. The doctors at first reassured him and did not share their suspicions, but soon made a disappointing diagnosis: the boy had spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia of the upper and lower extremities. It is a complex systemic bone disease.
But life went on. And courageous parents did everything in their power so that their son would receive from this life everything that it can give him. Danil Pluzhnikov goes to school. True, the method of home education was chosen for him: 4 lessons with teachers and 7 more on the Internet. At the same time, the boy does not require any concessions for himself and does not allow himself to relax: he is an excellent student.
Dani has many hobbies. He loves to ride a skateboard and a special scooter that resembles a two-seater mini-car. He also loves to draw and write poetry. But main love Dani's whole life is music.
Several times a week, parents take their son to a music school, where he diligently practices vocals. Not so long ago, Danil Pluzhnikov began composing instrumental music, picking up a motive on the synthesizer.
The first victories were not slow to appear. In the very first year of vocal lessons with her beloved teacher Victoria Brendaus, Dana brought 11 awards. Pluzhnikov regularly attended various music competitions, some of which were held far from his native Sochi. Now at young performer more than 20 medals of the 1st degree and 7 awards of the 2nd.
In 2014, when the Olympic Games were held in Sochi, Danil Pluzhnikov also did not stand aside. He was invited to meet the Paralympians, and he gladly agreed.
This small in stature- only 98 centimeters - a huge and kind heart. A boy, worthily and courageously bearing the burden of his own difficult fate does charity work. He visits the Moscow Cancer Center, where he sings and plays the synthesizer for the smallest patients.
Danil admits that these trips are not easy for him, because it is very scary to see seriously ill children and understand that some of them cannot be saved. But smiles and good mood kids are given the feeling that he is doing a good and necessary thing.
"Voice. Children"
The decision to take part in the 3rd season of the show “Voice. Children ”was not easy for Danil Pluzhnikov. The boy had long dreamed of going on stage and, along with other talented guys, proving that he sings no worse. But the fear of a huge audience, which is not limited only to those present in the hall, somewhat restrained. But Danya decided and did not lose.
The 13-year-old singer took the stage with a wonderful Cossack song Oleg Gazmanov "Two Eagles". Before leaving, he admitted that he dedicated the chosen song to his grandfather, who went through the war. Danil is alarmed that the feat of that heroic generation is underestimated by his peers, and they began to forget who gave them life.
He performed this song so thoughtfully and without a hint of pretense that he impressed not only the audience, but even sophisticated mentors. On last minutes Dima Bilan turned to the boy and gasped. A little later, Bilan admitted that his heart almost stopped when he felt the extraordinary, adult spirituality that such a young boy filled the music and words with.
Pelageya also expressed her sincere admiration. She said that this song really suits Dani's voice. But the main thing is that in his performance "Two Eagles" sounded very adult, thoughtful.
From the stage, Danila Pluzhnikov was carried away in his arms by Dmitry Nagiyev, immensely admired by the courage and talent of the boy. According to all mentors, the performer from Sochi has unlimited possibilities and undoubted talent.
The audience saw the singer off with a standing ovation. The Our Future Foundation congratulated Danila on the successful completion of the Blind Auditions stage. Pluzhnikov is a multiple participant in the Foundation's projects. In February of this year, the young Sochi singer participated in International festival-competition"Success Factor", which took place in his hometown. Then creative biography Danila Pluzhnikova was replenished with another victory: he became a laureate of the 1st degree.
On April 29, 2016, Danil Pluzhnikov became the winner of the show “Voice. Children-3" under the guidance of project mentor Dima Bilan.
Personal life
The boy admits that he does not interfere at all in Everyday life his small stature. He had long realized that he would never become like his peers, and began to take the reaction of others calmly.
The whole personal life of Danila Pluzhnikov and his most big love- it `s music. He loves different songs, but always with a deep meaning. In addition to the songs of Oleg Gazmanov, his repertoire includes compositions by Grigory Leps and Valery Meladze.
The love and support of millions of Russians inspired and gave strength to this special child, who has to struggle every day with a serious congenital illness. But after any victory, you need to return home, to ordinary life. How is life after the "Voice", AiF.ru told Danil and his mom Irina Afanasyeva.
"I'm still in shock"
For Danila's participation in the show competition “Voice. Children ”without exaggeration, the whole country watched. The emotions that the majority of Russians evoked in each performance of the young Sochi musician could be judged by the reaction of the audience in the studio of the program, its presenter and mentors. All of them did not hide their admiration for the performance of the guy, and singer Pelagia even tears flowed down her cheeks. But the strongest emotions at such moments, of course, were experienced by Danil Pluzhnikov himself, although outwardly he was fully assembled and, like a real artist, did not show any excitement. The guy looked natural on stage, and sang very artistically and with soul. Surely this also helped him to gain the maximum number of votes during the audience SMS voting. Although for his family he became a winner even earlier.
“Danka really wanted to participate in this competition and he applied on the Internet, I only helped him,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - He was very happy when he passed the casting, then the blind auditions. For us, each step was a huge victory and joy. And when Danka reached the final and then became the first, he was just happy. Especially since we didn't expect it from the very beginning. We went to the "Voice" just to try our hand. You know, all the children there were very talented, and we must have been lucky. In any case, when Danya reached the final, for me and for all our relatives, he was already a winner.”
Danil himself also willingly shares his impressions of what he experienced thanks to his participation in the project.
Vladimir Alexandrov, AiF.ru: Have you come to your senses after such a success?
Danil Pluzhnikov: Not yet, I'm still in shock and still can't believe it. Emotions are overflowing. But I sleep peacefully, I don’t dream of “Voice” at night.
- Was it difficult to win, because you had strong opponents?
“Of course, there was a lot of excitement and a lot of tension. Very difficult - live broadcast after all. But I, like the guys who were in the top three with me, managed. Liza and Damir are very good, there was no competition between us at all, we always cheered for each other, talked and wished good luck.
- What do you remember most and what impressions did the mentors make - Bilan, Pelageya, Agutin?
- Every moment on the project was precious, and participation in it gave me just a tremendous experience. But I can't pick out anything. You know, all mentors are good in their own way, but I only keep in touch with Dima Bilan. We call him and discuss different topics We talk about music, about life. We communicate very well with him.
- Now everyone is congratulating you on your victory, they want to talk, take an interview. Are you tired of all this attention?
“No, of course I’m not tired. I feel a lot of support, which gives me strength, helps to maintain a positive attitude.
Where do you get inspiration for your art from?
- From nature, from parents, from everyone around. And of course, the fact is that I really love music. I am a music lover and listen to everything. Music is my favorite thing that brings great joy.
What are your dreams and what are your plans?
- I have one dream - I want to become famous singer or as a composer, I write the music myself. But for this you need to study, study and study again. In the future, I'm going to College of Music, then to the conservatory.
Not music alone
Danil continues to communicate with the guys from the "Voice" - on the Internet. He has enough pen pals, because the guy is very sociable, which is clearly seen in television stories with his participation. Not only children, but also adults like to communicate with him - he can find a common language and topics for conversation with almost everyone. But still, a child with disabilities, and even such a well-known and beloved by everyone as Danya, does not have too much live communication with peers. And no modern means of communication can completely replace it. Due to his illness, Pluzhnikov studies at home, and in some lessons in music school, where his parents take him, you don’t get too close. Moreover, the winner of the “Voice” takes music very seriously. It's good that a person lives next door with whom Danya can always talk heart to heart in the same language.
“On the Internet, my son has a lot of friends, but this is the Internet,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - And in life there is one boy with whom Dani really has a real friendship. They have been communicating for many years, understand each other and support in everything. Well done guys, I really like it. Nikita is healthy, tall, handsome guy, he is involved in athletics and takes top places at the competition."

Music for Danil is the most important thing, and he devotes a lot of time to it. The boy attends vocal classes and learns to play the synthesizer. Although he also knows a lot about other types of creativity. Danya loves to draw with pencils and paints, work with images in Photoshop. In general, he really likes the computer, although he does not play games, like many of his peers. Unless sometimes he sits down for a short time at simple "worms" so that the brain has a little rest. He also has his literary tastes. My favorite genres are detective and science fiction, and my favorite works are Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia. Moreover, reading, like watching movies, is not just entertainment for him. Great importance makes sense to Dani. For example, after watching Kung Fu Panda, he shared with his mother that in this animated film much instructive that it says about good and evil.

“Of course, not all children think about such things at this age,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - But, in general, I noticed that many guys with diseases like Dani's are really wise beyond their years and often say some smart things. However, they are still children."
It would be health
Say what you like, but the health of Danil Pluzhnikov for himself and his family is the most main question which is more important than any fame. As an infant, he seemed an ordinary child, but at nine months old, his parents began to notice that he had stopped growing. It turned out that the boy had a severe genetic disease in which the limbs stop developing. Because of this, his height is now less than a meter, and he is forced to move on crutches.
“Since 2003, I have already gone to the doctors with my son,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - At the age of seven, he underwent the first operation, and after it there were two more at the Elizarov center in Kurgan. They helped to straighten and slightly lengthen his legs, but this is not completely curable. You can only improve the condition so that the bones do not hurt and the muscles develop better. ”
After the victory, Dani has no end to fans who want to take pictures with him and get an autograph. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov's Vkontakte page
Like any disabled child, Dana is entitled to special free treatment according to quotas, but not everything is so simple. The state provides funds only for the boy, and there is no question of compensating the expenses of the parents, which cannot be dispensed with. For example, during trips to operations in Kurgan, Irina Afanasyeva paid for her own accommodation. And this despite the fact that their family is not rich. Only the guy's father works constantly, and his mother has been taking care of her son at home since his birth. To cover all expenses, they had to turn to charitable organizations. On the other hand, there are problems with finding competent specialists, especially with such a complex disease. But Danya needs constant treatment and rehabilitation.
The glory that came to the boy helped to solve these problems, at least in part. took care of his health host of the famous TV show Elena Malysheva. Thanks to this, Danya underwent an in-depth medical examination, the results of which the best doctors countries held a consultation. But even they were powerless before such a disease and cannot work a miracle. But they helped to determine the only true way of further treatment of the boy.
While participating in the First Channel project, Dana received messages with words of support from all over the country. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov's Vkontakte page
“They came to the conclusion that it is still impossible for Danka to do new operations,” continues Irina Afanasyeva. - Now he needs to strengthen his muscles and spine. Elena Malysheva promised to put us in a rehabilitation center in Gelendzhik for three months this year, and I am sure that she will keep her word. She said that she wanted to ensure that in a year Danilka would be able to move around without crutches. I will be very grateful to her if that happens. Apparently, then we will meet again with her on the transfer.
But difficult and painful treatment is not the only problem that Dana and his parents had to face. The saddest thing is that sometimes misunderstanding of others is added to this.
“It happens that people laugh, discuss me, there are those who have a negative attitude,” Danil admitted while participating in the program “Voice”. “But I don’t care, I am who I am.”
But still there are good news. Thanks to the Paralympics, Sochi has not only become more convenient for people with disabilities in terms of infrastructure. According to the boy's mother, the attitude of the townspeople has also changed. They have become noticeably more tolerant, and one can only regret that there is only one such Olympic capital in Russia.
According to Irina Afanasyeva, after the Paralympics, the people of Sochi began to treat people with disabilities better, like her son. Photo: Danil Pluzhnikov's Vkontakte page
Waiting for the best
Dana is very lucky with her parents. They do their best to make his life as comfortable as possible, although it is not so easy. For example, you need to equip your home in such a way that a boy with his small stature is comfortable. According to Irina Afanasyeva, now they want to order special furniture for him, but it’s hard to find it, and the family’s finances are limited. Even to pay for trips to Moscow for the Voice project, the boy's parents turned to local deputies and charitable organizations for help. There are other everyday problems that the family constantly faces.
“We have only two rooms, in one of which Danya lives,” says Irina Afanasyeva. - And the kitchen and the hallway are combined - such a strange layout. Now, in this room we always have a very, very damp wall, and black mold forms. The apartment is on the first floor, and when it rains, the water seeps a lot. We have subtropics. Because of this, literally every year it is necessary to make repairs. Dampness is bad for Dani's health, but I don't know how to radically solve this problem. Maybe someone will respond and come up with something, help us. I will be just happy if we have a dry wall and the mold disappears forever.
Considering all this, it is difficult even to convey what joy the news brought to the whole family, which Head of Sochi Anatoly Pakhomov. After Dani's victory in The Voice, the mayor called his mother, conveyed his congratulations and promised a studio apartment in high-rise building currently under construction in the city centre. It is expected to be completed by the end of this year. I would like to hope that by that time Dani will have other reasons for joy. Now they are waiting for a call from Channel One, they promised to contact just after the May holidays. Everyone hopes that the boy will be offered to take part in some new interesting projects.
Danil Pluzhnikov is a participant in the third season of the television contest “Voice. Children”, laureate of the Sochi music festival"Wind Rose - 2015", winner of many music awards. The boy who came from Sochi - whole list medical diagnoses, common sense which boils down to the fact that he serious problems with a skeleton, with the development of bones - at the age of 13, Danila's height is 98 centimeters. He is very charming, knows how to keep the audience, in addition to music lessons, he also draws, including on a computer. Behind all Danila's victories is not only his talents, his invested strength, but also the strength, the love of his loved ones. First of all, his mother - Irina Afanasyeva.
Danil Pluzhnikov, 14 years old, city of Sochi. A disabled child with diagnoses of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia of the upper and lower extremities, metaphyseal dysplasia, achondroplasia. Engaged in music, vocals. From the age of 11 he has been performing at international competitions. During the first year, he collected 11 awards. He has 21 laureate diplomas of the 1st degree, 7 - of the 2nd degree and 1 diploma of the 3rd degree. Engaged in volunteer activities.
“Until ten months, Danil developed, as it should be for a baby at his age,” says Irina. - And then I began to notice that something was wrong: my son stopped growing, gaining weight. The doctors said: "Mommy, don't be nervous, everything is in order." But I saw that there was cause for concern. Continued trips to the doctors.
We have orthopedic doctors in the Adler district, whose consultation turned out to be necessary, and now there are not many, but then, thirteen years ago, there were none at all, only surgeons. We went to Krasnodar for examination. We were not properly diagnosed, only achondroplasia, a systemic disease of the skeleton, is questionable. And since there is no clear diagnosis, it means that it is impossible to get a disability, and without it, documented, it is impossible to start treatment ...
The first year I cried, I was nervous. Then she said to herself: “This is my dear child and I need to help him first of all, and not to dismiss nurses, feeling sorry for myself. I took matters into my own hands."
Three years later, we went for an examination at our own expense to Moscow, to the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics "CITO named after N.N. Priorov." The doctor, to whom we got an appointment, made the same diagnosis and is also questionable. But she gave a certificate, and on it we were finally able to issue a disability.
When Danilka was 6 years old, we, already free of charge, again went to Moscow, in the "CITO named after N.N. Priorov" and our son underwent the first operation. He was in plaster for a month. And then I was advised by the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after G. Ilizarov, where the technique is completely different, Ilizarov devices are installed: on the second or third day after the operation, the child was forced to stand up and start moving a little. A month later, with these devices, the children ran along the corridors, played football. At the Ilizarov Center, we performed two operations, straightened the deformities and increased the height by five centimeters on each leg.
Then it was decided to take a break, so as not to harm, do not touch anything until the age of 13-14. When the time came, we got in line for the operation, passed all the examinations, and in November 2015 we had to go to the operation. And this means - for a while to fall out of the usual rhythm of life. And then we learn that Danya passed the casting. What a face he had, how he was worried that he was succeeding, that he seemed to have already achieved something here, but he needed to have an operation. I talked to the doctors, and they met us halfway, agreeing to postpone the operation until June. Now we all make it!
adorable boy
When Danila was little, I worked for some time as a janitor in the hostel where we live: it was convenient. And then I had to leave my job: I had to be with my son all the time, and for 10 years now I have always been there.
Danila is such a bright child that he attracts love. Dad does not have a soul in him. Our relatives and close friends adore him. The eldest daughter (they have a difference of 20 years) believes that she has the best brother in the world. She now lives in another city, raises my grandchildren, and before that she always helped me a lot. When at one time she lived in Moscow and we came to her, she ran with us to all clinics, doctors ...
So it’s strange for me to hear that relatives stop communicating when they find out that the family is disabled, the husbands leave. Our dad is always there, always supportive, and I can't imagine what else is possible.
My husband and I have always had a good relationship, we always find a common language, we can talk for hours. My daughter once said: “Mom, you have been living together for so many years, what can you talk about? Aren't you tired of it?"
"They're just stupid"
The reaction of outsiders may be different. It may also be very inadequate. This, I think, from a lack of education, from ignorance, illiteracy. I noticed confirmation of this after the Olympics and the Paralympic Games in Sochi. Many Paralympic athletes came and local residents went to watch their performances, saw how these heroic people, often overcoming themselves, overcoming such difficulties that it is incomprehensible to the mind, give out incredible records. They performed better than our healthy athletes.
Danilka, by the way, has a lot of impressions from these days. He spent the Paralympic Games in sports villages, in the Olympic Park, talked with athletes, took pictures. I return to my thought: people saw the performances of the Paralympic athletes, met them on the street and something changed in their heads. They began to relate to the disabled in many ways differently. Two years have already passed, and this difference before the Paralympics and after is very noticeable. Although still some savagery remained.
But I still had to change my attitude to people's reactions first. As the saying goes, you can't change the world, change your attitude to the world. Yes, all people are different. Sometimes children come up and ask: “Why is the boy so small? How old are you? Ten? And I'm four." Now I react calmly. And before she was angry. Not for a child asking what to take from him, of course, he is interested, but for his parents. After all, this baby goes next to his parents, and they do not stop him when he runs towards us. Stop your child. Explain quietly, tactfully. And if adults do not teach, then how will children know everything?
I remember being small. For me, if I started point-blank it was completely impolite to look at a person on crutches or at wheelchair, my mother said: “I saw it, look away. Act like you didn't notice, like nothing happened. Because they are internally hurt by such obsessive attention: they are the same as us. And I remember this, although my mother has long been dead, I myself am a mother and grandmother.
In terms of correct response good lesson Danya himself gave it to me when he was three or four years old. He usually moves around in a wheelchair. And then he decided to just walk with his legs, got up, went. People who were nearby said some kind of rude faux pas. I, like a tigress, began to defend my son, could not stand it, said something, cut me off. And my smart child looks up at me and says: “Mom, don't be nervous. What are you nervous about, they're just stupid. Don't waste your nerves."
On a scooter
At school, Danila rarely communicates with peers: he homeschooling. Four teachers come to his home, the rest of the lessons are remote, via Skype.
The social circle is basically two music schools that Danya goes to. He studies the synthesizer, the piano ... The children see that the boy is very good, successfully studying music. He can easily write dictations, knows solfeggio, writes some music. And the teacher likes what he writes. He plays complex programs with his little hands. So on the synthesizer in the third grade he played works of the fifth grade, the sixth. Children respect Danila, appreciate. You can't fool them.
Danil travels around the microdistrict on a specially equipped scooter. To be honest, I was afraid to let him go, albeit through the microdistrict, along the sidewalk. But then our dad took the floor: “What are you doing with him, like with a small child, he is already an adult guy, responsible, understands everything perfectly.” Yes, he really understands everything perfectly and you can trust him. Danya sits on this scooter and drives perfectly. There are joysticks, special controls for the disabled.
I always try to build on what Danil likes, what he has a penchant for. First I see it all, and then I put it into action. Because I would not have taken him to a music school if I had not seen that he was doing something.
Not everything goes straight smoothly, sometimes you have to push, force - Danya is the most ordinary teenager.
But in general, the transitional age is going smoothly for us. Danya is wise beyond his years. In many respects, I try to talk to him on an equal footing, as with an adult.
Although sometimes it happens that he doesn’t obey, he becomes stubborn, I can’t stand it, but I’ll hit the table with the words: “So, quickly go clean your room, as long as you can endure the mess!”
Despite Danila's sore legs, I force him to take care of myself, because my husband and I are well aware that we are not eternal, and he must learn to live without us. God grant that this happens as soon as possible. For the sake of the son.
So we have "skirmishes" about cleanliness, order. But in general, I repeat, Danil has been an adult for a long time. We are friends with him. He tells me very confidential things that he probably does not tell anyone else.
About life
In Dani's room we tried our best to financial plan, build everything under it. Where necessary - stairs, chairs. The desk is low. The table and chairs were made by our dad himself. Everything else in the apartment, unfortunately, is not available to Dana. Especially in the kitchen - it’s generally hard for him there. My dream is to make comfortable furniture for my son there, with low shelves and so on. But everything, as usual, rests on finances.
Cloth
I buy clothes in stores where you can buy, say, jeans for a two-year-old boy, and an eight-year-old, and a teenager. I buy, say, jeans for a seven-year-old, and then remake them. As well as other clothes. To be in size, fashionable. but not for kindergarten kids
Before the performance, she told her son: “Do not think about whether one of the jury members will turn to you or not. Actually it's not that important. You are already on stage. Sing not for the jury at all, but for those people who came to listen. And he sang so really well, with a vengeance.
We called the mother of the 14-year-old singer Irina Vladimirovna to congratulate the boy on his resounding victory in the main vocal project of the country and his return home, and found out that Danya was ill.
Danny is the lucky winner!
“Yes, immediately after returning from Moscow, Dani's temperature rose to 38.5 ° C, his throat was constricted, it was very difficult for him to talk, they called a doctor. Of course, he was tired: competition, interviews, meetings, the way home. Now my son is better, thanks for the concern. And even the day before yesterday, he sang the Russian anthem before the gala match of the Night Hockey League (by the way, President Vladimir Putin played for the winning team of this tournament, who scored 8 goals that day - approx. Woman "s Day). He performed, as always, perfectly well, "says mom.
So Danila was met in Sochi
Photo: center additional education"Hosta"
When the family returned from Moscow, they organized, as they say, a meeting with the orchestra. There were all his friends, relatives, classmates, teachers of the center where he studies, representatives of the city administration. Everyone came with bright balloons and posters "Danil is the best!" and "Congratulations on your win!" And as soon as Danya appeared at the airport, the song “Two Eagles” burst out in unison!
“Danny was so happy! He missed his friends, of course. But we could not stay in the arrivals hall for a long time, our relatives took us home. And back on the road at the end of May. We fly to Moscow, we were invited to the Philanthropist award, where Danya is one of the winners. In the meantime, all plans for the coming days are related to Sochi. Danya is constantly invited to some events. So there is no time to rest for a long time, ”says my mother.
And during this solemn meeting, the Mayor of Sochi called Irina Vladimirovna, congratulated her and gave her an apartment! “Now we live in Adler, and our conditions are not the best. A new flat- one-room Central region. The house is still under construction, they say that the handover will be in December.”
Danny with mom
And today Daniel has another important day. Again a solemn event in Sochi, in which he is one of the main characters. As part of the charitable program "Treasure of the Nation's Culture", he was awarded certificates for the development of creative and vocal abilities and for a rehabilitation course. This money is vital for him, because from birth he has a very rare disease of the skeletal system.
Recall the story of Dani Pluzhnikov. Despite the limited health opportunities (at the age of 14 he has a height of 98 cm and a whole list of congenital diseases), a talented boy from Adler is the winner of numerous music competitions, awards, and now in his piggy bank and the title of the winner of the main vocal project of the country.
Danil studies at a regular school, as well as at the Khosta additional education center. Such a passion for music is not without reason - my mother is a pianist by education, but she never worked by profession, and now she is retired, dad played piano in his youth. percussion instruments in vocal and instrumental ensembles. At the age of 9, Danil decided to go learn to play the synthesizer and take vocal lessons. And after a while he became a soloist vocal group"Elegy".
Danil leaves no one indifferent: the video with his number at blind auditions scored more than five million views, and his parents continue to receive congratulations and words of gratitude by the thousands.
Who is Danil Pluzhnikov? Biography of the winner famous project"Voice. Children”, the conqueror of the hearts of most Russians, despite his young age, is very rich and interesting. This name is familiar to many in our country. This is a boy who was able not only to defeat his rivals, but also to defeat himself, to defeat his illness. The son of musicians (mom plays the piano, dad plays percussion instruments), since childhood, having barely learned to speak, he began to sing karaoke with pleasure. The love of music did not leave him even when Danil grew up.
A boy was born on January 26, 2003 in sunny Adler. Until the age of 10 months, the boy grew up as an absolutely healthy child, until his mother discovered that his son had stopped gaining height and weight. For a long time, doctors did not listen to the concerns of the mother, assuring that the child was developing normally. Parents went around many doctors and offices until they were noticed. From that moment on, the whole life of the family is inextricably linked with the hospital. Long examinations, worries, and, finally, a terrible, disappointing diagnosis - a complex bone disease. Courageous parents did not leave a sick child, but on the contrary, they tried to do everything in their power so that their son would not feel unnecessary, not like everyone else. The biography of Danil Pluzhnikov is very unusual. Like all peers, he goes to school, studying with teachers at home and via the Internet. Despite all the difficulties, the boy is an excellent student. In addition to classes in basic subjects, Danil has many additional hobbies: skateboarding, writing poetry and, of course, music. A passion for playing the synthesizer has recently been added to teaching vocals at a music school. Mentor Danila speaks of him as a very stubborn and hardworking child. Despite the fact that with such a disease it is very difficult to play on musical instruments, Danil courageously overcomes all difficulties and no longer just performs compositions on the synthesizer, but also composes his own.
From the memories of Danila's mother...
Now Danila Pluzhnikov ("Voice") has become famous throughout the country. His biography, as the boy's mother said in an interview, is extremely full of difficulties. All of them had to endure the family. It turns out that little Danil, who was not even a year old then, could not make an accurate diagnosis for a long time. Naturally, it was also impossible to start treatment. Parents visited dozens of doctors and clinics in Krasnodar and Moscow.
