Biography

Born in 1981 Anzor always wanted to be an architect. However the war that started when he was 14 years old has changed all his life. Just like for many other civilians in Chechnya the war was something that’s difficult to understand and accept.

He started to write his first lyrics few months later. But with music everything was much harder - it’s difficult to create a hip-hop without computer and even electricity. Having hardly recorded few tracks with his mates they were shown on Russian national TV performing the track on the street of Grozny without any music playing. It was more than enough for music industry people to understand how successful it all can be. In a month Anzor had a production deal, went to Moscow and recoded his first album. In August 2005 he signed a record deal with Zona Music Group.
