T-Fest

T-Fest, born Anatoliy Tkachenko, is a Ukrainian rapper, singer, and songwriter known for blending emotive trap beats with raw, introspective lyrics. Rising to prominence in the mid-2010s, he became a key figure in Eastern Europe's hip-hop scene, celebrated for his genre-fluid style that mixes rap, R&B, and pop melodies. Tracks like "Иногда" and "Мне пора" showcase his knack for capturing the ups and downs of youth culture, relationships, and personal growth, often delivered with a gritty yet vulnerable edge.

Associated with the Gazgolder label (founded by Russian rapper Basta), T-Fest has collaborated with artists like Eldzhey and MOZGI, further cementing his cross-border appeal. His recent releases, such as the moody "4 am in London" and the introspective "Heaven," highlight his evolution as an artist unafraid to experiment with atmospheric production while staying rooted in streetwise storytelling. Based in Kyiv, he continues to resonate with fans for his authenticity and relatable narratives about love, ambition, and the chaos of modern life.
