Acting

The famous Ural rapper with a recognizable appearance and recitative, musician of the AK-47 collective. The duo, which became famous in the early 2010s, is devoted to “boyish” everyday life, is replete with profanity, uncomplicated rhymes and episodes of drug use, although the members of the group claim that this is just a scenic image. Vitya AK (real name is Vitaliy Gostyukhin) was born on August 30, 1987 in the small town of Berezovsky, Sverdlovsk Region. He became interested in music as a child, and as a teenager he tried to impose texts on instrumental music and began performing under the pseudonym MC Vinograd. In 2004, fate brought Vitaly with Maxim Brylin, the lead singer of the local Nepali group. The young people met on the bus that followed from Novoberezovsk to Yekaterinburg. The guys immediately found a common language, and Brylin invited Vitaly to participate in the recording of new tracks as part of his team. Some time later, Maxim decided to leave the Nepal and begin a joint project with Vitaly. Friends named the collective in honor of the Kalashnikov assault rifle “AK-47”, and the rappers themselves began to perform under the pseudonyms Vitya AK and Maxim AK. The first studio recordings appeared, a duet with rapper Noggano (“Let's make the circle wider”) and the first hit - “Ale, this is Pakistan”. The full-fledged debut album "Berezovskiy", recorded at Bustazz Records, was released only in 2009. But the disc became one of the most impressive releases of that year and brought the musicians the “Russian Street” award in the “Opening of the Year” nomination.
