He did keen on the black street rhythms just when bands like Public Enemy, N and DBP ruined The communism in the music. When he has been in 3rd or 4th grade he had started dancing in a dynamic dancers dance school and tried writing his first texts. During the The first Hip-hop sounds wave in Bulgaria he had met The Sys, and it stood clearly in front of him his time will come later, because he had been just 16 years old. 16 years old guys to sing about stuff they had never seen?!? Although he has been writing some texts and has recorded demo tapes, about 20 tape cassettes that you cant find, because of being all around his friends houses. In 1997 He had met Svetlio and convinced in same ideas they create the Dimna Zavesa duo. Thats a salvation for ShoSho, because till than he had been walking on the dark side of the societys path degradation and drugs. When he got out of the armys camps in 2000 year Dimna Zavesa made their first studio record and just after that met for first Dj Stancho the guru of the black parties those days. Along with him in Snaiper Records ShoSho started learning so fast how to make professional hip-hop beats and productions.

Now when there is no more Snaiper Records, ShoSho will put in his skills in the new Rapton Records that he, Andre and Sarafa created. His Archive 1 is album that contents his recorded in Snaiper singles.

He had grown up in many different neighborhoods under so many different influences, that he had stepped aside of the Right way too often. Still young he had met the non beautiful reality. When he had been in 4th grade he and two of his elder friends had found two guitars, electronic piano and . Being too naïve, but full of passion and ambitions they had started searching their own new style. But everything melted with the time, because his friends had went in different ways of his. Once felt what is to create, Andre couldnt quit with the music. After he had accidentally found The hip-hop style he had realized that exactly this is his music, and till than he had lived The hip-hop lifestyle without knowing that. He had many singles behind when in 1999 united with two boys, with who had covered under the Revenge nickname for a while-less than a year after, The Revenuers are separated. The destiny says its word when introduces Andre to Rakata and they got along together very soon. Rakata, on his turn, introduces Anre to Sarafa and Svetetsa, the other two members of T.Z.R . Not so long after the two duos Rakata&Andre and Sarafa&Svetetsa had formed the final look of the T.Z.R band (or Here because of the Reality), that exists till nowadays. T.Z.R is not just a title, its a deeper meaning that takes a center stage in the four boys lives. Andre, Rakata, Sarafa and Svetetsa had become music partners and nearly brothers who had started the endless and hard fight for their own place under the Sun. Not once theyve passed near to signing a contract with sound recording companies because of their fury and independent tempers. Otherwise Andre knows that there is anything accident and believes everything is for good.Till 2006 Andre had created many singles, instrumentals and text, he had recorded 3 albums of Mechoka , many pieces of the whole T.Z.R-team, had made also solo projects, and on the other hand he helps experienceless enthusiastic people to find their own style and target in hip-hop. In the beginning of 2006 Andre together with ShoSho and Sarafa made this important step The creating of Rapton Records. Now in Rapton records is working on many projects including part the good native MCs as guests, also on labels members solo projects. Andreys dream is to create a huge organization for helping the development of the Bulgarians Hip-hop stage and supporting the community he lives in. Serafim Martinov SARAFA was born in Varna on the seashore. He had lived in many places all around Bulgaria, one of them are Shumen, Dupnitsa and he always reminds them with a smile. However hes living in Sofia for 15 years till nowadays, the city he calls Hells Heaven. He started listening to rap music in the far 1992 when, still too young, watches his cousin and the other elders dancing over the hip-hop rhythms. In 1999 he met some of those with whom he succeeded in collecting the band T.Z.R (Here Because of the Reality) - Rakata and Svetetsa. A year after that Sarafa met Andre, and found him as a genius, they started recording at Andres house. Few months later T.Z.R is a public fact with members Sarafa, Rakata, Andre and Svetetsa. Since 1999 till April 2006 Sarafa has more than 100 singles/songs/pieces recorded in Andres studio. In May 2006 Sarafa with Andre and ShoSho (Sarafa and ShoSho have known each other for a long time) gave the beginning of something that three of them had always, even apart, dreamed of Rapton RecordsKalin Popov Rakata was born on 17.07.1983 in Sofia. He had always had an uncontrollable temperament and as the most children grown up during the 90s he had went on the Wrong way. With the often changes of schools and his mothers and fathers enormous strengths the little Kalin had got back in mind. His first touch to the Rap music is Cypress Hill, Onyx, Das EFX, Wu-Tang and so one. At least when he had been 17 years old he had decided that its been about time to say what s on his mind in rhymes. His meeting with Sarafa and Svetetsa in the winter of the 2000 led to creating T.Z.R (Tuk Zaradi Realnostta / Here Because of the Reality). The next summer T.Z.R had their first studio recorded single Midnight Reality recorded with the help of Ghetto Man, which song later is joined in the rap compilation published by Riva Sound. The winter of 2001 Rakata had met Andre (Sarafa and Svetetsa are recording in Snaiper Record for a while) and theyve decided to work out something together. Not for long after Andre and Rakatas union Sarafa and Svetetsa joined them, this is how T.Z.R got its final look. The next 5 years Rakata and Andre spent in working, growing up, and learning the truths of life that led to the underground stylish album Nashta Deistvitelnost with the guest vocals of Sarafa, Svetetsa, Kamora, Wosh and Yoko. The year of 2006 is the year of the next big step to the top Rapton Records created by ShoSho, Sarafa and Andre. Now Rakata and Andre are working on their new album Sofiyskiat Zaliv/The gulf of Sofia and some singles which would be published in the first compilation of Rapton Records Rapton Records .Svetozar Todorov – also known as Svetetza was born on 21st may in 1982.
