Biography

Shirman started his career at the age of 14 when he graduated from musical school while taking computer lessons. After a year, he released his debut album and released his second album two years later in 1999.[1]

In 2005, Shirman took the name DJ Smash and started working as a resident DJ in the "Zima Project" club in Irkutsk. Later, he became a resident DJ in the following Moscow clubs: "Лето", "Осень", "First", "Дяgilev" and "Movida" in London.

He gained great popularity[citation needed] with the release of single Moscow Never Sleeps in 2007, which got into the rotation of Russia's largest radio station Europa Plus and music channels - Muz-TV and MTV. In 2008, a new version of the hit was recorded in collaboration with Timati. The song was performed on the Muz-TV Awards, together with 30 Seconds To Mars, Morandi, Jennifer Lopez and stars of the Russian pop scene.

In 2008, the most widely known single Волна (Volna, Wave) was released following a music video of a remixed version by DJ Antoine & Yoko.
