In 2003, the artist entered the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management, Faculty of Law. During his studies, Dmitry was actively involved in dancing and music, and later received a law degree. However, the thirst for popularity and love for music changed Monatic's priorities.

In 2010, he came to the show “X-Factor”. The judges criticized the 24-year-old singer, and Seryoga, who today supports the dictatorial Russian regime and the war in Ukraine, generally said that he did not see a future in Monatic. Despite this, Dmitry was still allowed to the next stage. The artist almost reached the final.
Then the singer looked very young and, perhaps, somewhat insecure, but his thirst to prove himself to the whole country was stronger.
By the way! Before “X-Factor”, Dmytro was in Natalia Mogilevskaya's ballet, and later made it to the top thirty in the project “Everybody Dances!”.
In 2011, he released his first album and also established himself as a songwriter. Gradually, his style began to change. Hats and caps, as well as loose clothing, became his trademark.
Gradually, the hats became extravagant and often sparked discussions online about the singer's style.

In 2024, the performer even changed his hair color. On the eve of his 38th birthday, he appeared in public in a changed image. Monatic became blond, but decided not to change the shade of his beard.

On February 12 of this year, Dmitry gave a concert in Odessa. But it would be nothing if his new image did not become a reason for a portion of memes, and also received a portion of hate. The artist appeared on stage in a black suit – a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with yellow inserts, complementing the image with glasses.

Changes in appearance did not go unnoticed by social media users. Everyone paid attention to the artist's weight, hairstyle, beard and clothing style. But another part of the people came to Dmitry's defense. They accused critics of body shaming.

On his social networks, the artist decided to respond to this development with humor. For example, he consulted with fans about the type of poster. He left the phrase “Monatic or Kvadratik”, which went viral the most on the network.
But despite the words of the public, Dmytro remains an example of a person who was able to achieve his goal despite the criticism of other people. His clothing style is his own way of expressing himself, which resonates with the styles of songs and dance numbers.
