Antokha MS is a popular Russian rapper. At the dawn of his career, he was compared with Tsoi and Mikhei. A little time will pass and he will be able to develop a unique style of presenting musical material.
In the compositions of the singer, notes of electronics, soul, as well as reggae are heard. The use of pipes in some tracks immerses music lovers in pleasant nostalgic memories, enveloping them in goodness and harmony.
Childhood and youth
Anton Kuznetsov (real name of the singer) was born in the very heart of Russia - the city of Moscow. The artist's date of birth is March 14, 1990. He became interested in music at an early age. Once he was lucky enough to get to a jazz concert in a local recreation center. After that, he wanted to be more deeply imbued with the musical genre.
He liked the sound of the trumpet and asked his parents to enroll him in a music school. At the age of eight, he began to master his favorite instrument.
Anton had a very musical family. Three of the six children could play the trombone, cello and trumpet. Often impromptu concerts were held in their house. According to Anton's stories, the neighbors treated their musical neighbors with understanding. They never violated the regime of the day.
The music center, which stood in the children's room, became for the guy almost the main asset of the house. He wiped holes in the cassette recordings of musical legends of past centuries. For a long time, listening to compositions remained Anton's main hobby, but then, he realized that he himself could compose compositions.
Like everyone else, Anton received a secondary education. He had enough time for sports. In addition, he loved to attend summer camps. The guy also had enough time for petty pranks.
He attended a lyceum with a medical specialization. Mom dreamed that after receiving the matriculation certificate, the son himself would want to connect his life with medicine. But the miracle didn't happen. Anton did not feel this vocation in himself. After graduating from the lyceum, he did not apply to the medical university, but decided to try his hand at the musical field.
The parents did not approve of their son's decision, believing that the profession of a singer would not bring stability to their son. Today they rarely attend live concerts of Antokha MS, but they still follow the development of his creative career.
Antokha MS: Creative path and music
In 2011, the presentation of the artist's debut album took place. We are talking about the LP "From the bottom of my heart." The collection was released in only 500 copies. Despite the small circulation, the disc sold out to the last. Longplay perfectly conveyed the mood of the author. Music critics evaluated the work of Antokha MS as "something nostalgic and kind."
Each composition that was included in the disc "With all my heart" belonged to the authorship of Anton. He read out the text to the accompaniment of a trumpet. After the presentation of the disc, the performer said that he had no desire to get promoted on the collection. "With all my heart" - acted as a kind of musical portfolio.
Around the same period of time, he replenishes videography with debut clips. We are talking about the video clips "Box" and "New Year's". According to Anton, the work he created was not for the masses, but for a narrow circle of acquaintances. Despite this small nuance, the clips were quite warmly received by fans.
For some time he performed on the heating of popular bands. This allowed MC to gain invaluable experience. Antokha's first solo concert took place in 2014 at the site of the Chinatown nightclub.

For part of the songs from the new LP, he shot bright video clips. It turned out that this is not the last novelty of 2016. Then he recorded a joint track with the popular artist Ivan Dorn.
Ivan expressed his deep gratitude to Anton for the pleasant cooperation. He called him one of the most original performers in Russia. But the MC admitted that before the recording of the common track, he was not familiar with the work of Dorn. As a result, the guys presented a composition called "New Year's". Interesting creative experiments did not end there. Antokha collaborated with the Pasosh team.
