Since the age of four Dima so much desired to become a doctor that he graduated from the medical class of the Minsk High School in the course of time, and he was not a second-rate student at all as he managed to graduate with a silver medal. According to his mom's memories, Dima managed to do his homework during his school breaks after the lessons, and spent his out-of-school time outdoors making his dear grandma feel nervous. At the age of eleven Dima fall in love for the first time with his classmate who vigorously rejected the feelings of the future artist. Giving way to despair the teenager wrote the short story "Polkan the dog - Peter's friend", where all one hundred and sixty six words started with the letter "P". The work was by the way published in the column "Records" of "Argumenty i Fakty v Belorussii" daily. In 2002 Koldun entered the faculty of chemistry of the Belarusian State University. Dima refused to become a doctor and prepared to become a professional chemist.

After the victory in the "Star Factory" Koldun concluded a contract with the "National Music Corporation" and became the soloist of the reorganized group "K.G.B." (Koldun, Gurkov, Barsukov). In 2007 Koldun tried out for "Eurovision" and became the candidate from Byelorussia.
