Childhood and youth

Music fascinated Kirill from an early age, so his parents sent the boy to a music school to study the piano. According to the musician, he has a good relationship with his parents, although they are far from the world of music. Kirill has a brother Maxim (I'Max), who is also involved in the music field and works at T-fest concerts.

During his school years, he attended a music school: he mastered the piano and drums, later he mastered the guitar on his own. However, he did not manage to finish the "music school". Kirill also has no higher education yet - after graduation, the guy devoted himself entirely to music. According to him, since the age of 15 he has been living independently and doing what he loves.

Music

Some time later, information about the talented teenager reached Schokk, and in 2012 he recorded a joint track "Burn with me" with him. The musician calls Bamberg his teacher and declares that "if it were not for his support, I would probably be somewhere at the bottom right now."

At the age of 17, he and his brother recorded the release "In fact". Although the track did not make a splash in musical circles, Kirill did not give up on his dreams. Two years later, the aspiring performer rethought his style of performance and began to work in the "trap" genre. However, even after the release of an interesting composition in a new style, Kirill did not gain much popularity.

In January 2016, Kirill announced the reboot of his work in his own VKontakte group and published a track of the same name “Reboot”. Changes have taken place not only in creativity, but also in the artist's appearance. Recognizable short dreadlocks appeared on his head.

In principle, I don’t consider myself to be anyone, I don’t even consider myself a rapper. I just make music. Just imagine: something made you angry, you go to the gym and beat a punching bag. And I write music.

Soon a video for the song "Mom Permitted" was released, after which the artist's career went up steeply. In 2017, the rapper released his debut album "0372", the title of which is a reference to the phone code of his hometown.

T-Fest - "Mom Allowed"

The album was warmly received by the listeners, after its release, T-Fest began to be compared with such stars of the new Russian rap school as Pharaoh and Face, and Kirill was noticed by the Kazakh rap artist and beatmaker Skryptonit, well known in Russia.

Joint creativity of T-Fest and Scryptonite - "Lambada"

The musician offered the guy to record a joint track "Lambada", and some time later Kirill was offered to sign a contract with the Russian record label "Gazgolder", under the auspices of which artists Basta, Smokey Mo, Oleg Gruz, Slovetsky, etc. are working today.

T-Fest - rap artist biography

In 2017, the hero of our article became a discovery in the culture of Russian hip-hop and rap music. Kirill Nezboretsky, a young and promising performer, burst into the music charts and hit parades with the track "Fly away" and began to rapidly gain an army of fans. The sudden popularity came as a surprise to the musician himself. Let's talk about the biography of T-Fest in more detail: childhood, adolescence, the stages of becoming as an artist and details of the performer's personal life.

Singer biography

Kirill Igorevich Nezboretsky, known in hip-hop culture as T-Fest, was born in the small town of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. Talk about how old the artist really is, appeared from the very first days of his career. The artist himself does not get tired of responding to fans that he was born in 1997, but many sources still give users conflicting information.

The boy was brought up together with his older brother Maxim in a simple family. He studied at a secondary school. Cyril began to get involved in music from early childhood, he loved to attend music school, but he never graduated from it. At various times he studied piano and drums. Later he mastered playing the guitar on his own.

The artist's mother did not always support her son's hobbies. The performer left his parental home in 2011 when he was 14 years old. According to the singer, his parents did not understand his aspirations and even now do not approve of many of his works.

Even in his youth, T-Fest began to record tracks, including with the participation of his older brother Maxim. The first songs were posted online in 2010. At that time, the performer was attracted by harsher rap music, so Kirill's early works differ from what he does today. Despite the good lyrics of the tracks and an interesting semantic component, they did not receive popularity and promotion.

After receiving secondary education, T-fest decided not to enter a higher educational institution. Instead, he continued to pursue musical creativity. The tracks were still not successful and T-Fest decided to take a break for a while.

In 2015 he returned to the stage. A new history of the artist began. While still at school, Kirill chose a different name for his stage performances - T-Fest. With him, he became popular in Russian hip-hop. "You are a holiday" - this is how he explains the pseudonym and adds that every appearance on the stage is special for him. In an interview, the performer says with a smile that he is happy to delight the audience and give people unforgettable emotions at the concert.

Today he is a sought-after performer in the country. Kirill is often compared to other respected rappers and hip-hop artists. He admits that the comparisons flatter him, but in fact seeks to blaze his own path in the world of music.

Curious biographical facts: in an interview, Kirill says that he does not watch TV and visits the temple every week, where he prays for his relatives.

Personal life of T-Fest

T-Fest tries to keep the paparazzi out of his personal life. He admits to reporters that he is in an informal relationship. Cyril carefully protects his beloved from prying eyes, so his girlfriend was not seen next to the singer. Even on the Instagram page, fans will not be able to find at least one photo of their beloved. T-Fest rarely shares his privacy snapshots on social media. Most often, you can see photos from events and concerts.

The label the singer is part of

The artist is a musician of the creative association "Gazgolder". In 2016, the owner of the label Vasily Vakulenko (Basta) became interested in the talented singer and offered cooperation. Kirill calls the period when he started working at the label "a reboot" and admits that at Gazgolder, with the participation of a huge creative team, he manages to make his dreams come true. It was here that in 2017 the main hit of T-Fest "Fly away" was recorded.

In the summer of 2018, a track was released that Bast suggested to Kirill to record together - "Scandal".

Songs of T-Fest

In January 2017, the artist released his first album and three videos in support of it. All of them have gained millions of views in a few weeks.

The first high-profile work with the participation of the singer is considered to be a duet song with another artist of the Gazgolder label, Scriptonite - Lambada. To date, the video for this track has over 60 million views on YouTube. In 2017, the song broke all records and became a hit, just like Kirill's own track "Fly away".

In the spring of 2018, T-Fest was nominated for the prestigious Muz-TV award in the Breakthrough of the Year category.

In the same year, Kirill released the tracks "Foreigner" and "I Don't Remember", and also took part in the recording of the track on which Scryptonite offered him to work together - "Multibrand".

Today the singer continues his touring activities. They want to see the artist in every city of the country, and tickets for concerts are sold out in a matter of days. On March 16, 2019, his big solo concert will take place in St. Petersburg.

Kirill Nezboretsky is a 21-year-old young man who, in the shortest possible time, became an example for a generation of young people. Its success proves that even if a person is born in a small provincial town and does not have great opportunities for development, this is not a reason to give up and stop dreaming.

The collapsed popularity was sudden for T-Fest himself, because his biography does not contain outstanding events that could predict future success. Despite this, thanks to hard work and perseverance, the singer justly achieved fame and recognition. “Talent will always break through,” his fans say. We will not argue and will continue to follow the development of the artist's creativity.

They are used to talking about Ukraine as the main exporter of young pop stars. Another reason for such a conversation came from the world of rap - and Yanix, Pharaoh, like other heroes of the new school, should be nervous.

T-Fest looks as much as possible today - he even has pigtails braided, like some Lil Yachty, the hottest freshman of American rap right now. Under the long-established canon, the bass and crackling sound of Atlanta, T-Fest reads a chanting rap: "Time is zero, / My Ukrainians are with me, and we fly through the cities." Kirill Nezboretsky is distinguished by that soft and melodious speech, according to which it is easy to guess the Ukrainian in the interlocutor. He recently turned 20, but he started rapping back in 2009, to loudly declare himself after as many as eight years. Now he is the most recent signer of the Gazgolder label, which is managed by Basta, the number one artist in Russian rap, if not in Russian music at all.

At first glance, a resident of the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi has little chance of becoming a rapper - he is too peaceful, beautiful and calm. "But on the move," says Cyril. In Chernivtsi, he released (should read: uploaded to the Internet) one mixtape, after which he wrote several more albums on the table over the course of several years. And he immediately understood: he would not show them to anyone. Only in 2017 he released his first official release, the disc "0372". Its name is the telephone code of Chernivtsi.

Listening to how T-Fest devotes lines to his hometown, you are unlikely to experience a thrill from the integrity of the work, similar to that produced by the last albums of Oksimiron or. But songs that will catch your ear will definitely show up on "0372". The task of explaining in one sentence what they are about is not so easy. Probably like this: this is hedonistic rap, where the most popular word is the pronoun "I"; these are ardent youthful manifestos about "I won't give up", arguments about girls, money and blunts, all very melodic, musically and generally with great taste. At the same time, there is not a single attempt to get attached to the current moment, to hook the notorious spirit of the time - and this is consciously.

One way or another, the same Scryptonite got hooked on his tracks - and thanks to his patronage, T-Fest ended up on Gaz. How this happened is a separate story: Kirill went to Moscow not at all for a contract, but simply for a concert. Yes, and not on your own. He was invited to take the stage by Shock, a Berlin-based, Kazakhstan-born rapper.

If this material appeared on the rap site, there would be no need to explain anything else. But those who follow rap from time to time should be informed that once Shokk created the scandalous rap duo Vagabund, along with Oksimiron, which was just gaining momentum. In 2011, they noisily broke off all relations - and over the past years, and Shokk remained in the role of such an unrecognized genius.

To the question "When did the audience first notice you?" Kirill replies without hesitation that it happened several years ago - after recording a cover version of one of Shock's tracks: “He later wrote to me and since that time has always supported me”. They also had a joint track - ill-wishers then assured that Shokk "signed up with a schoolboy for money."

If you know Shokka from scandalous posts in social networks, then T-Fest saw him from the other side: "He is a sincere person and will always help and prompt as a senior." In particular, it was with Shock's suggestion that the profile website The Flow wrote about the album, little-known at that time, T-Fest and his videos. “I don’t remember how the idea came about for me to perform at Shokka’s Moscow concert,” says Kirill. "It was not a warm-up, I performed my mini-program in the middle of Shock's concert." Those who came to the concert exploded when Scryptonite entered the stage in the middle of the song.

Scryptonite says that he noticed Ti-Festa after the video "I knew one thing" and wanted to get in touch, but he turned and did not come out. But already the next clip "Don't Forget" convinced him that he needed to hurry up. Moreover, other people wishing to sign the young hitmaker have already appeared. “After the clip“ Do not forget, ”we received such suggestions. Including from various well-known ”, - confirms T-Fest, but does not want to go into details.

“I feel like Adil’s older brother,” explains Cyril, why Scryptonite’s proposal outweighed. - His boys, the Jillzay group, are like a big family. I felt at ease, and we immediately began to work. " On Gaza, T-Fest notes the cohesion and creative atmosphere: “I love it when no one sits idle and looks at the ceiling, but here everyone is energized and running.” About Bastu he says briefly: “He is very positive. Works constantly. From the first seconds you feel what kind of energy comes from him. And when you see him, you want to work even more. "

In Moscow, Kirill settled in a country house where Scryptonite and his group Jillzay live (“We write songs, go out to buy groceries once a week,” he describes the Moscow region lifestyle). A video for their joint track "Lambada" was filmed in this house. Filmed by Aisultan Seitov, a young director from Kazakhstan, who is now forming a pretty good portfolio for himself: he has recently recorded videos of Ivan Dorn “Kollaba” and he also shot “Medal for a Medal” for LʼOne and is working on Basta's new video. Aisultan also worked with Scryptonite - he filmed a video invitation for the Gazgolder Live festival, and he was watched better than many "normal" clips.

“Kirill had a demo of Lambada ready, where I added a verse,” explains Scryptonite. “Well, I spontaneously decided: on the 8th of March, if we shoot a video, we will definitely get there, we just need to have time to do everything during the night”. As a result, the editing took a day longer and the video was released only on March 9th. But it is unlikely that this seriously disrupted the plans - now the video has nearly 7 million views.

Success, even a starting one, leads to the emergence of not only fans, but also haters - however, it is still unclear from whom there are more problems. “I go to the toilet, and there the person is already jumping up! - T-Fest says with surprise. - Takes me by the shoulder: "Let's take a picture", he already takes out the phone. I don’t understand that. ” Criticism worries him less: "If I was only praised, I would think - what am I doing wrong?"

I remember T-Fest's post on Instagram - "Evil people write in comments, beautiful people write in PM" - and I ask him again: "Do they often write beautiful ones?" Cyril is modestly silent, while Scryptonite confirms with a laugh: "They just tear it apart."

T-Fest - Russian rapper and the idol of modern youth. His compositions are gaining frenzied popularity, scattering at the speed of light on the Internet.

T-Fest is just a stage name, the real name of a popular artist is Kirill Nezboretsky... The boy was born in 1996, in the small town of Chernivtsi, in Ukraine, in an ordinary family. The mother is an entrepreneur, is engaged in private trade, and the father is the best children's otolaryngologist in the city.

Even as a child, parents noticed that their son a serious attraction to music. Not ignoring his potential and desire, they sent Kirill to a music school, where the boy learned to play the piano. Kirill Nezboretsky loved music so much that the piano course was not enough for him, so he learned to play the drums, and a little later he mastered the guitar.

The boy immediately knew that he would closely interact with the musical sphere in life. To develop in this direction, after leaving school, Kirill did not enter the university.

Nezboretsky realized that he was fascinated by rap back in high school, then it was especially fashionable. Each teenager had several rap tracks downloaded to their phones. But the guy didn't just listen to music, but wanted to create something of his own. Having stumbled upon the compositions of the rapper Schokk, Kirill was inspired.

The tracks sunk into his soul so much that he recorded a couple of covers and decided that for the image and sonority he would need a pseudonym. Every day, which was dedicated to music, was perceived by Kirill as a holiday, and he came up with an idea for the name "T-Fest", which translates "You are a holiday".

The young man's covers were really good, and soon his work was noticed by the same rapper who was an idol. Schokk` appreciated the work of Cyril, and even recorded with him joint track “Burn with me”.

This became the impetus for further development in the musical field, because Nezboretsky admits that it was the rapper who helped him move on with his support, no matter what.

Kirill is not the only child in the family, he has a loving and understanding brother, who also followed the trail of music. Together they, when Kirill Nezboretsky was 17 years old, recorded a composition called "In fact". But society could not grasp the mood of the track, it was not particularly audible.

T-Fest was not going to stop there, he was well aware that failures happen to everyone. For two years, Kirill pondered what he liked, what he wanted to bring to life, and realized that he should completely change the style of his compositions.

But the newly released track again did not interest the listeners. Then the novice artist globally thought about his further actions and decided to radically change everything.

The beginning of the changes was a recording from 2016 on social networks, where Kirill posted a song with a symbolic one. The changes were not only internal, but also external, T-Fest changed its image by making dreadlocks.

During this time, the guy was selling his beats to invest in music and improve its quality. All he wanted was to give his best.

The rapper gained popularity after the video clip for the song "Mom allowed" that blew up the listeners. And right after that, T-Fest finished working on the album “0372”, which was highly appreciated.

They began to talk about Kirill more and more, and the tracks were actively disseminated on social networks, at this moment a famous rapper from Kazakhstan, Scryptonitis, I saw potential in the guy, and even offered to cooperate.

Together T-Fest and Scryptonite recorded track "Lambada", which for a year topped the music charts and was dearly loved by listeners. This cooperation with the rapper from Kazakhstan did not stop, he invited Nezboretsky to join the Gazgolder association, which brought together many talented and famous artists.

Cyril did not even suspect that he would one day become popular and thousands of people would listen to his tracks. He doesn't even consider himself a rapper, he just writes music for his own pleasure. For him it is like relaxation, an opportunity to throw out all the accumulated emotions.

Music has never been exclusively considered by the artist type of earnings, if he had something to say, a new composition appeared. T-Fest does not focus on other performers, even very talented ones, he believes that music should be individual.

That is why Kirill puts his soul, his emotions into each track, and not something heard from other rappers.

It's not so easy to find out about the rapper's personal life, since T-Fest prefers not to spread on this subject, but at the moment he is not in a relationship. Cyril admits that in girls he is primarily attracted by sincerity and natural beauty.
