The Homie project started in 2013. The close attention of music critics and music lovers was attracted by the original presentation of the tracks by Anton Tabala, the founder of the group.
Anton has already managed to acquire a creative pseudonym from his fans - the Belarusian lyric rapper.
Childhood and youth of Anton Tabal
Anton Tabala was born on December 26, 1989 in Minsk. Little is known about Anton's early childhood. According to some sources, the boy was brought up with his sister Lydia.
Parents managed to correctly form their son's hobbies. As a child, Anton played hockey, football, and also studied music. He studied well at school. However, the preference has always been the humanities.
Passion for sports games led the young man to the Belarusian University of Physical Education. Interestingly, Tabala played for the Minsk clubs Dynamo-Keramin, Yunost, Metallurg (Zhlobin).
Anton dreamed of a career as a hockey team coach. And everything would be fine, but later he received a serious injury, which forever deprived him of the right to play hockey.
Tabala left the sport with tears in his eyes. In reserve, he had another hobby - music. The parents, who wanted their son to do something more serious, tried to reason with their son.
However, Anton defended the right to play music and realize himself as a singer.
Anton recorded the first compositions on an old mobile phone recorder. He was his own composer and songwriter. Tabala's old recordings could not be "reanimated".
On this occasion, the young man was not very upset, because he considered early work to be “insipid”. When it came to choosing a creative pseudonym, Anton chose the name Homie, which means “friend” in English.
The young man did not come up with such a pseudonym for himself, he was helped by friends from an international university, where they taught just in English.
The creative path and music of Homie
Rapper Homie has no special musical education. He independently mastered the violin and piano. He started making music seriously in 2011. He gained his first popularity in 2013.
For the first time, users of social networks met the performer with an exotic presentation of songs. By exotic presentation, many mean hoarseness in the voice.
The singer's musical style combines seemingly completely opposite things - rap and lyrics. One can hear melancholy and loneliness in Anton's compositions.
The girls immediately became interested in the rapper's tracks. The representatives of the weaker sex really liked the lyrics. Interestingly, Homie uses the Auto Tune effect and R&B vocals.
The peak of Homie's popularity began after the artist posted the musical composition "It's crazy to be the first." Soon this track became the hallmark of the rapper.
The singer also released a video clip for the track. The video for the song "Madly You Can Be First" gained over 15 million views. The first album with the same name included 8 songs.
We recommend listening to the songs: "Mists" (feat. Mainstream One), "Let's forget the summer" (feat. Dramma), "Graduation", "Fool".
In 2014, the rapper presented his new album "Cocaine" to fans when he was on tour in Ukraine.
After the presentation of the album "Cocaine", the fans had to wait two years for the next disc. In 2016, Anton presented the collection "Summer". The premiere of the video clip on YouTube gained 3 million views.
A little later, Homie got an official page on YouTube video hosting. It was there that the latest novelties of the artist appeared. There were not only new clips and tracks, but also videos from the singer's performances.
A little about the meaning of the tracks
Anton said that his songs were created on real events. In his tracks, the performer shares the emotions that he had to endure.
Naturally, some moments are embellished. But in his work, the rapper tries to be sincere, as open and honest as possible.
Anton was not against interesting collaborations. He released joint musical compositions with Chayan Famali, Adamant, Ai-Q, Lyosha Svik, Dima Kartashov, G-Nise.
Creativity Homie like young girls. Most of his audience are girls 15-25 years old. Men are also present at the rapper's concerts. But here, too, the number of girls exceeds, since they are the majority.
Personal life of rapper Homie
Anton's heart is busy. In 2016, Anton Tabala made an offer to Darina Chizhik, who played the main role in the video clip "It's crazy to be the first." The girl did not need to be begged for a long time. After the proposal, the couple immediately signed.
Darina moved to Minsk and Kyiv with her mother and sister. It is also known that the girl studied at a technological college as a fashion designer.
At the university at the Faculty of Philosophy, and then at the Faculty of Journalism. In addition, she graduated from the design course at the European Humanities University.
At the moment, Chizhik is the head of the fashion department at Diva.by. She is the founder of her own clothing brand CHIZHIK. In her free time, she works as a model.
Homie loves his wife and often shares photos together on social networks.
The couple has no children at the moment, and so far the lovers are not planning a pregnancy. Anton has a busy tour schedule, Darina has several works.
The couple believes that children are a huge responsibility, and they are not yet ready for this.
Anton plans to open his own clothing brand. Also, the young man does not mind becoming the owner of a hookah bar, which he himself told reporters.
Tabala likes to spend her free time with her family in restaurants or watching matches of the English Football League.
It is interesting that in childhood he was called Crooked Legs, since he never hit the goal the first time. Homie does not like battles and is not going to enter into a rap duel with someone in the near future.
Of his colleagues in the workshop, he is impressed by the work of Oxxxymiron, Max Korzh, as well as the Mushrooms group.
Despite the rapper's busy touring schedule, Anton has a little secret - before each stage appearance, he is worried, like for the first time. The rapper posts a schedule of touring activities on his social networks.
homie now
2017 has been an incredibly productive year for the rapper. It is noteworthy that in his homeland his work was noted by the award "Best Artist of the Year in Belarus".
According to Homie, he does not consider himself and does not want to refer to the representatives of show business in Belarus. Anton's tracks are recorded in Russian.
And if he dares to create in his native Belarusian, then, most likely, he will face the fact that he will not be understood. Most of the rapper's fans are native Russian speakers.
In the winter of the same 2017, the presentation of the musical composition “Different” (feat. Andrey Lenitsky) took place, and in the summer he presented the track and video clip “12 weeks”.
In the same year, the singer's discography was replenished with a new album "In the city where you are not." The video clip for the song of the same name gained several million views.
In 2018, the rapper delighted fans with a number of new compositions. Most of all, music lovers liked the tracks: “Egoist”, “Touchless”, “Bullets”, “I'm Falling Up”, “Summer”, “Promise”.
A year later, the singer's discography was replenished with the EP Goodbye. 2020 has been no less productive. This year, Homie presented the tracks "My Angel" and "Don't Trust Me".
