How It All Started

In July 2011, Egor posted his first song, "Lyubov v seti" (which means "Love on the Net"), on YouTube. The song's video became a huge hit all over Russia and got millions of views. This was the start of his fame.

Joining Black Star Inc.

Egor's popularity grew even more when he released a cover of the song "Ne skhodi s uma" (Don't Be Mad), originally by the famous rapper Timati. In April 2012, Timati noticed Egor's talent and signed him to his music label, Black Star Inc.

His first song with the label was "Starletka" (Starlet). The music video for this song featured the well-known Russian actress Miroslava Karpovich from the TV show Daddy's Daughters.
