T-Fest is a popular Russian rapper. The young performer began his career by recording cover versions of songs by popular singers. A little later, the artist was noticed by Schokk, who helped him appear at the rap party.
In hip-hop circles, they started talking about the artist at the beginning of 2017 - after the release of the record "0372" and work with Scryptonite.
Childhood and youth of Cyril Nezboretsky
The real name of the rapper is Kirill Nezboretsky. The young man is from Ukraine. He was born on May 8, 1997 in Chernivtsi. Cyril's parents are far from creativity. Mom is an entrepreneur, and father is an ordinary doctor.
Parents tried to provide their son with the most necessary things. When my mother saw that he had creative inclinations, she sent Cyril to a music school. The young man mastered playing the piano and percussion instruments, but he never graduated from school. He later taught himself to play the guitar.
Already at the age of 11, Kirill recorded his first track. Together with his brother, they equipped a home recording studio and began to write songs of their own composition.
Kirill got his love for Russian hip-hop after he got acquainted with the works of the Rap Woyska association. The young performer especially liked the work of Dmitry Hinter, widely known under the pseudonym Schokk. Soon Kirill began to record cover versions for the Russian rapper.
Creative way T-fest
The aspiring rapper T-Fest was fascinated by Schokk's music. Kirill posted cover versions of Schokk tracks on YouTube video hosting. Fortune smiled on the young man. His cover versions came to the attention of that same idol.
Schokk provided support and patronage to Kirill. Despite significant support, there was still a lull in the creative biography of T-fest.
In 2013, Kirill, together with his brother, presented his debut mixtape "Burn". The album contains 16 tracks in total. One of the songs was recorded with rapper Schokk. Despite attempts to "light up", the release went unnoticed. Young singers posted songs on the page on VKontakte, but this did not give a positive result either.
A year later, the rapper released a few more tracks, but, alas, potential fans did not like them either. In 2014, Cyril went into the shadows. The young man decided to rethink creativity. He removed old materials from the sites. The rapper started from scratch.
Return of T-Fest
In 2016, Cyril tried to conquer the rap industry. He appeared in public with an updated image and an original manner of presenting musical material.
The rapper changed his short haircut to trendy Afro braids, and cynical songs to melodic trap. In 2016, Kirill released two videos. We are talking about the videos "Mom allowed" and "New Day". The audience "ate" the "old-new" Cyril. T-Fest enjoyed long-awaited popularity.
Kirill continuously worked on recording his debut album. In 2017, video clips for the tracks “One I knew / Exhalation” and the first official album “0372” were released.
The disc includes 13 tracks. The following tracks deserved considerable attention: “Do not forget”, “I will not give up”, the already mentioned “One thing I knew / Exhale”. The numbers that were on the cover are the telephone code of Chernivtsi's relatives for the singer.
Cyril attracted the attention of not only rap fans, but also authoritative performers. Schokk continued to support the budding star. Soon he invited the guy to his own concert in Moscow to perform "as an opening act".
When T-Fest was performing on stage, Scryptonite appeared unexpectedly for the audience. The rapper "blew up" the hall with his appearance. He sang along with Cyril. Thus, Scryptonite wanted to show that the work of T-Fest is not alien to him.
Scryptonite was interested in the work of T-Fest even before attending the Schokk concert. However, due to being busy, he could not contact the rapper earlier.
It was Scryptonite who brought T-Fest together with the owner of one of the largest labels in Russia - Basta (Vasily Vakulenko). At the invitation of Basta, Kirill moved to Moscow to conclude a contract with the Gazgolder label. Kirill came to the capital with his brother and some friends.
At first, Cyril lived in the house of Scryptonite. After some time, the rappers presented a joint video clip "Lambada". Fans warmly accepted the joint work. Interestingly, the video has received over 7 million views in a short period of time.
Personal life T-Fest
Kirill carefully covered up the "traces" of his life in Ukraine. In addition, there is little information on the Internet about the rapper's personal life. The young man did not have enough time for a relationship.
In one of his interviews, Cyril noted that he does not look like a pick-up artist. Moreover, he became shy when girls took the initiative to get to know him.
In the fairer sex, Cyril prefers natural beauty. He does not like girls with "pouted lips" and silicone breasts.
Interestingly, T-Fest does not position itself as a rapper. In one of the interviews, the young man said that he did not like the rigid boundaries of definitions. Kirill creates music the way he feels himself. He doesn't like hard lines.
