Music show business has given the world a huge number of artists performing compositions in various genres. A significant position among the directions is occupied by rap. The ancestor of this genre is considered to be the dark-skinned population. However, the "white" singers managed to stand out. Eminem, the American lord of recitative and beats, won huge popularity among them.

Russia also boasts famous rappers. Batishta directly relates 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 Batista. Even before the performance of his tracks by famous singers, relatives did not know that their boy had a grandiose talent.

Childhood and moving to Moscow

And it all started in Chelyabinsk. It was there that Batista was born on July 19, 1983. The biography from the first days of his birth retained a different name - Kirill Petrov. At the age of fifteenyears, he moves to the capital of Russia with his parents. And again he goes to school, where he meets Evgeny (now known as DJ Lenya Linar). They were united by a passion for one genre of music called "urban style". Rap also applies to it, in particular. Friends devoted all their free time only to music.

After a while, Evgeny begins to learn the art of DJing, and the guys record their debut track on the first turntable they bought. It was 1998. Eugene helps push the demo right into the hands of the Cash Brothers. Those, in turn, liked the style of the composition and agreed to collaborate with Kirill.

At the same time, the stage name "Batista" 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 his studies. In parallel with creativity, the young man is studying at a higher technical institution.

Success and advancement

The first year of the new millennium is becoming a milestone for him. It was in 2000 that Batishta met Kirill Tolmatsky (the famous performer Decl). The latter invites the namesake to be an MC in his team. Cyril (Batista) agrees, and together they are touring the territory of the CIS. The next step towards all-Russian recognition was cooperation with the rap group "Legal Business". Wasting no time, the MC writes his own songs as well.

In 2005, some changes are taking place in the Russian music show business, to whichand Batista. The singer, whose biography by that time contained an impressive list of works with eminent artists, becomes a member of the BandEros group, which is still popular to this day. In a short time, the group shot a lot of videos, on various radio stations their songs occupied the first positions in the charts. The audience sincerely and wholeheartedly fell in love with 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 it was Batista who played a huge role in the tremendous popularity of BandEros. The biography of the protagonist has six years spent with the group.

Solo career

In 2011, Kirill made a strong-willed decision and left the team. He began to pursue a solo career. His debut in this direction was the release of the track “Turn the Page”, for which a video was shot a little later. He collaborated with various musical groups and performers. Among them are Disco Crash, Sati Casanova and others.
