Khoma was born in 1983 in the village of Bortnyky (Zhydachiv district). The singer spent his childhood in the village but later on, at the age of four, he moved to Novoiavorivsk with his parents. In 1991 he joined the Novoiavorivsk school No. 1. His parents also enrolled him in a vocal and choral class at a music school of the same city. His first teacher of vocals was Omelyan Lesya Mykolayivna. She opened the world of academic vocals for Khoma.[8]

Career edit

Khoma is the winner of contests and festivals: Peter Tchaikovsky Contest (first prize), Golden Trembitas (1996), "Jazz Singer" (1996, first prize), "Evenings over Latorytsia" (first prize), "Spivogray" (Grand Prix), "Flowers of Prykarpattia" (Grand Prix), "Black Sea Games (2000, second prize), Young Galicia (1996 first prize, 1999, Grand Prix) and others.[9]

1998 edit

After graduating from music school, Khoma entered the Lviv Music School where he studied at the Department of Conducting.[10]

2004 edit

In Lviv, Khoma created a band, Druzi.,[11] that performed at weddings and private events.

Khoma did an internship at the customs of the Krakovets checkpoint. Having realized that his main vocation was music, he interrupted the internship and continued his musical career.[12]

2008 edit

Khoma recorded a cover version of the song "Calendar" written by Andriy Kuzmenko and Oleg Turko. Having listened to the version of the song, Kuzmenko offered him to make a cover version of the song "Old Pictures". Subsequently, a video clip was made for it. Khoma initiated the name, "Dzidzio", this is how his Polish grandfather Markul Jan Kazymyrovych was called.[13] Kuzmenko supported him, but later, on his recommendation, the image of "Dzidzio" was suspended. The "Sex Shop Boys" band was created instead, in which Khoma is the group's soloist.[14]

Simultaneously performing at corporate events with the band Druzi ("Friends"), Khoma as the leader of the band entertains his friends with funny stories during breaks, using the manner of speaking of Nadsyansk district and an "old grandpa" voice. This is how Dzidzio's monologues were created and later gained wide popularity by transmission via the infrared port.[15]

2009 edit

Khoma is invited to perform at a private event, where he meets Anatoly Bezukh, the future producer of DZIDZIO. Since then, the logo is written in Latin. It was created (visualized) by Roman Cheryba, who gave it to Khoma for his birthday. The same year, the band DZIDZIO begins a new round. The duo "Sex Shop Boys" ceases its activity not having existed even a year.[16]
