Early Life and education

Donatas Montvydas is now 38 years old; he was born on 22 October 1987 in Vilnius. His earliest public performances date to childhood music contests (he was a laureate of the Dainų dainelė youth contest) and he studied at the Balys Dvarionas music school.

Montvydas’s early exposure to performance came through family influences. His father was a drummer in a rock band and his mother worked as a gymnast — and that musical household shaped his move into competitive and professional singing before he launched a recording career in the late 2000s.
