Music show business has given the world a huge number of artists performing compositions in various genres. A significant position among the directions is rap. The ancestor of this genre is considered a black population. However, the “white” singers managed to stand out. Enormous popularity among them was won by the American master of recitative and bits - Eminem.
Russia also boasts famous rappers. Batishta also directly refers to them. The biography of numerous “Master Sound” (MS), popular in the CIS, includes a stage called “unknown”. A huge number of creative personalities, who are now adored by millions, have gone through "thorns to the stars." This also applies to Batishta. Even before the performance of his tracks by famous singers, relatives did not even know that their boy had a tremendous talent.
Childhood and moving to Moscow
And it all started in Chelyabinsk. It was there that on July 19, 1983, Batishta was born. The biography from the first days of his birth retained a different name - Kirill Petrov. At the age of fifteen, he moved to the capital of Russia with his parents. And again he goes to school, where he meets Eugene (now known as DJ Lenya Linar). They were united by a passion for one genre of music called "urban style." To her, in particular, is rap. Friends devoted all their free time only to music.
After some time, Eugene begins to learn the art of DJing, and the guys record their debut track on the first turntable purchased. It was 1998. Eugene helps push the demo right into the hands of “Brothers Cash”. Those, in turn, liked the style of composition and they agreed to collaborate with Cyril.
At the same time, the stage name “Batishta” appears. The biography of the young man is replenished with data on meetings with new people who directly influenced his career. However, Cyril does not forget about studying. In parallel with creativity, the young man is studying at a higher technical institution.
Success and Promotion
The first year of the new millennium becomes significant for him. It was in 2000 that Batishta met Cyril Tolmatsky (the famous performer of Decl). The latter invites the namesake to be MS in his team. Cyril (Batishta) agrees, and already together they tour the CIS. The next step to the all-Russian recognition was cooperation with the rap group Legal Business. Without wasting time, MS writes his own songs.
In 2005, some changes took place in the Russian music show business, to which Batishta was related. The singer, whose biography by that time contained an impressive list of works with eminent artists, became a member of the band "BandEros", which is still popular today. In a short time, the group shot a lot of videos, at various radio stations their songs occupied the first positions in the charts. The audience sincerely and wholeheartedly loved this band, which so successfully combined RnB-style and pop music. They began to be compared with the American Black Eyed Peas. It is worth noting that Batishta played a huge role in the enormous popularity of “BandEros”. The biography of the protagonist has six years spent with the group.
Solo career
In 2011, Cyril made a strong-willed decision and left the team. He began to pursue a solo career. His debut in this direction was the publication of the track “Turn the page”, for which a clip was later shot. He collaborated with a variety of musical groups and performers. Among them - "Disco accident", Sati Casanova and others.
In 2012, an album entitled “5010” was released. Its sole author and performer is Batishta. The biography of the singer by that time, in addition to musical successes, includes success on television. He is invited to various projects and shows. As a host, Kirill worked on the Muz-TV channel.
