What fans love about Yarmak is for its thoughtful and incredibly interesting video clips. The plot of the works is so thought out that it seems as if you are watching a short film.
Childhood and youth of Alexander Yarmak
Oleksandr Yarmak was born on October 24, 1991 in the small Ukrainian town of Boryspil. From early childhood, Sasha was fond of rap. He could listen to Eminem's tracks, the Kasta group and Basta for days.
Yarmak liked rap culture so much that he began to imitate his favorite performers. Alexander wore Nike sneakers, wide pants and T-shirts. The young man plunged into rap culture.
The future rap star began to break in order to maintain her style. His peers envied his collection of cassettes with recordings of his favorite rap artists, and for the first time, Alexander had a poetic talent. He began to write poetry, which he set to music.
The parents of Yarmak Jr. were not enthusiastic about their son's hobbies. They tried to "kill" the attraction to music, pointing out that the son should learn science and get a good certificate to enter a higher educational institution.
But Alexander's artistic abilities did not give the young man peace. He became part of the KVN school team. It was Yarmak who composed jokes for the guys and was in the spotlight.
After receiving a matriculation certificate, the young man became a student at the Kyiv Aviation University. The young man chose the specialty "Aircraft Mechanical Engineer".
In the educational institution, Yarmak also did not sit still. Having received a prestigious education, he deliberately joined the KVN student team.
However, no matter how much the parents wanted Alexander Yarmak's studies and career to be in the first place, they did not succeed. As a student at an aviation university, Sasha understood that rap is his life, and he wants to devote himself to creativity, music and developing himself in show business.
Creative steps Yarmak
YarmaK began writing the first lines of tracks while still a schoolboy. Alexander says that his work is very reminiscent of the work of Basta (Alexander Vakulenko).
It took the artist a lot of time to create an individual style of presentation of the tracks.
Love for rap culture and creativity led Alexander to one of the capital's radio stations. There, the rapper got a job as a host. In his free time from study and work, Alexander used it wisely.
With the permission of the radio director, he used professional equipment to record musical compositions.
The artist's debut tracks were published on the VKontakte social network. Back then, YarmaK had no one to compete with. The songs of the young rapper were liked, commented and reposted. For the singer it was a small victory.
In the summer of 2011, the work of the Ukrainian rapper began to appear on the popular YouTube video hosting. Tracks Yarmak gained a significant number of views.
Later, the performer was invited to Yalta. He performed "on the heating" with Basta. The debut of the rapper on stage was successful. Now they learned about it not only in Ukraine, but also in the CIS countries.
Soon YarmaK won the competition, which was held by Ivan Alekseev (Noize MS). The winner of the competition was supposed to perform "on the heating" of the rapper. At a concert in Evpatoria, the Kiev performer multiplied the army of his fans.
Release of the first album "YasYuTuba"
After performing in Evpatoria, the singer returned to Kyiv. Here he shot a video clip for the released track and created his debut album. The presentation of the collection took place in 2012. The album was called "YasYuTuba". The singer's top compositions: "Heat", "Children's Resentment", "I Don't Like It".
A video clip for the song "Heart of a Boy" appeared in 2013. The video has received over 20 million views. YarmaK dedicated the composition to mercenary girls who are ready to betray a young man for a "fat" wallet.
The composition for a long time occupied the 1st position in the music charts. In addition, she was in the lead on the New Rap portal.
In 2013, another album was added to the discography of the Ukrainian rapper. The rapper preferred not to think about the name. He called his collection simply "Second Album". Fans especially appreciated the musical compositions "I'm fine" and "I'm not ashamed."
In many of his works, YarmaK touched on political and social topics. Such works were not always welcomed by fans of his work. According to many, when the singer talks about politics, he equates himself with a courtesan.
In 2015, the rapper presented his third album Made in UA to his fans. The album contains 18 tracks. A video clip was shot for the song "Get Up".
Alexander pleased the "fans" with his productivity. A few months later, a video for the song "Mama" appeared on YouTube video hosting.
The fourth disc "Mission Orion" included only 5 tracks, and it is more logical to attribute it to a mini-collection. Yarmak's fans gave high marks to the tracks "Black Gold" and "Earth".
