Valery Mikhailovich Didula (Belarusian: Валерій Міхайловіч Дзідзюля — Romanized: Valeriy Mikhaylovich Dzidzyulya), better known by his stage name, DiDuLa, is a Soviet-Belarusian guitarist, composer and producer. He is known as the founder of the Belarusian-Russian instrumental folk band, DiDuLa.

Didula grew up in Grodno, Belarus, and was fascinated by music from a young age. He learned how to play the guitar at the age of five, and wrote his first compositions at 16 years old. In 1989, Didula was recruited into a dance ensemble known as the Scarlet Dawns. He learned a lot about music production from his mentor Nikolai Khitrik, composer of the Scarlet Dawns.
