Redo is a well-known Russian figure of Russian-speaking grime. The performer had a significant impact on the development of grime in Russia. The singer has a huge number of battles on his account, where he won more than one victory.
Few people know that Redo is not only a top makeup artist, but also an MC and a designer. The vocabulary of a young performer, like a machine gun, "shoots" opponents. It is very interesting to watch him - clear movements, pretty appearance and well-developed manner of presenting the text.
Redo prefers to keep information about his childhood and origins in general secret. The real name of the guy is Nikita Pavlyuchenko. He was born on April 30, 1993 in the provincial town of Voskresensk.
The main memory from childhood, he considers melancholy. Voskresensk is a gloomy province. The main entertainment of the indigenous people was reduced to the use of alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs. Redo wanted to take a slightly different route.
Nikita has always had great potential. He stood out from his peers with a mindset and clear ideas about what his life should be like in a certain number of years.
From adolescence, Nikita was interested in music. The preference of the young man was American rap. But not only did Redo fall in love with this genre of music, hip-hop "answered" Nikita in return, endowing him with excellent vocal abilities and flow.
Creative way and music of Redo
In early 2012, Nikita, under the creative pseudonym Seven, announced himself at the Shotgun Battle. The young man showed his love for offline competitions.
The young man got acquainted with the battles in 2014. It was this year that Nikita tried himself in the popular project Versus: Fresh Blood. Then he took his current pseudonym Redo and successfully passed the qualifying round.
