Dmitry Shepelev: biography

D. Shepelev was born on January 25, 1983 in Minsk

None of his relatives had anything to do with the world of show business. Dima was raised in strict traditions. The teenager started working part-time since school. He decided to become a media personality after being a presenter on a youth entertainment program.

Childhood and youth, family, education

Dmitry's parents graduated from a technical university and worked in engineering positions. And they dreamed of the same career for their son. But Dmitry was an active child from childhood. His favorite sports were tennis and water polo. In high school, Shepelev entered the top ten best junior tennis players in Belarus.

During the summer holidays, Dima did not run around the street idle. He delivered mail and handed out leaflets. When he got older, his father took him to the technical department. The young man carried out small tasks, for which he received a reward.

In ninth grade, Shepelev passed the casting and became the host of the “5x5” program.
