“I don’t feel like a star and I’m mediocre about it. Now it is much more difficult to appear in some public places: if I go to eat in some ordinary place, then I start to catch surprised looks on myself. And I do not immediately realize what is happening, because I just came to eat. “

Feduk is an artist who combines two radically different personalities, reincarnated from the creator of the anthem of football hooligans to a serious lyrical hero and hitmaker. His biography is the path of a nomad who, despite the change of countries, remained true to his cause and proved that he was right.
Feduk - Childhood
Your life pathFeduk began in Moscow, born in the family of parents-teachers and grandfather-diplomat. Even as a child, 5 years oldFeduk goes to China , where his parents are invited to teach children living in the Russian embassy of the Celestial Empire.
An interesting fact about Feduk:
Fedya has a brother Kirill
After 2.5 years, the Insarov family returns to their native land, but after a couple of years, their fatherFeduk is again called to the diplomatic mission in Budapest,and the whole family rushes after him.
“They used to say that music is a hobby. Do something basic. 'Cause I've led a crazy lifestyle. My parents are at work from 6 am to 6 pm, and I just mess around.”
By the way, in Moscow, Feduk went to a music school, which he practically finished. There are three instruments in his musical arsenal:guitar (balalaika), clarinet and trumpet.
In childhood Feduk I listened mainly to pop-punk and similar driving-tube genres, but in Budapest everything changed. In 2004, he met his best friend Rodion, and he opened the world of hip-hop to him.Radik, knowing English, translated the songs of legendary performers to Feda and made his friend fall in love with the genre.
Then they start to gather at home and freestyle on a cheap microphone. More and more permeating the culture,Feduk engages in writing (draws graffiti). As a personal tag line, he took his nicknameFeduk and added to it “1” , which eventually turned intoFeduk 1love , which in the future sound in almost all of his tracks.
Feduk - Formerly Creativity / Feduk - Moving to Moscow
First group Feduk became an associationDobro Za Rap , where his brother and 6 more friends entered, among them was the same Radion. The guys read in the style of street underground. A little later, the first amateur album was releasedFeduk "Moscow 2010".
An interesting fact about Feduk:
At the age of 19 best friend Feduka Rodion died from a blood clot in the lung.
Returning to Moscow, the rapper begins a forced movement, trying to perform wherever possible. And this played a role.
Feduk - Okolofutbola
Feduk loves football, but has never been a fan, and, even more so, was not a hooligan. In 2012, filming of the Russian response “To the hooligans of Green Street" entitled "Around football ”.
Still unknown Fedor Insarov took part there as an extra in the scene of a big fight. Throughout the day, he met people and in the end he was offered to record a thematic track.
Thus was created the composition “T-shirt ”, which became the song for the credits and the new unspoken anthem of all football-related hooligan parties.
Feduk was immediately assigned to the rank of hooligans,but each time he denied this fate, declaring that there he acted as a musician, nothing more.
An interesting fact about Feduk:
Feduk was a hair model at Alexander Gudkov's barber
Feduk - First Popularity
Good criticism of the film and promotional pictureAnton Bormatov (Near football) giveFeduk a significant increase in the fanbase.
In the rapper's VK group, people began to rapidly add people, a live audience appeared.Feduk began to give the first concerts, which brought him penny fees, but this only encouraged him to train his musical skills and introduce new elements into his work.
“Just now, my friend and I were recalling the film “Green Street Hooligans”. I watched it when I lived in Budapest. And in the summer I came to the camp in Moscow - and there were already a lot of guys with scarves, not with scarves. And the fashion came to discuss fights, stylish clothes. Fashionable violence has become quite an important topic among the boys.”
Feduk - Solo Albums
On the wave of hype from the film OkofootbolaFeduk Records as many as 3 albums:"Season of Hotter", 2013, Ghetto Space 2013 and Music Staff 2014.
This allows you to “maintain the brand”, but does not become a source of explosion. The level of fame remained the same, andFeduk is beginning to be called an artist of one track.
The rapper himself admits that at that time he tried himself as various sales managers and office clerks, but still chose the path of rap. Although he treated music rather irresponsibly, sitting at home all day long, and coming to the studio only “for inspiration”.But as we all know, this path leads nowhere.
“I didn’t have a goal to break through. I lay on the couch and thought: it's cool to record something that would become popular. Then I started working - in general, anywhere. These were some strange offices where I sat at the computer, on the phone. And once Lekha Rozhkov - now this is my director, and then he shot concerts and videos, - Lekha began to say to me: “Let's shoot a normal video, let's do a concert, let's leave work”
Feduk Vs Yung Truppa Versus Battle
An invitation becomes a beam of lightFeduka to a new event for him -Versus Battleto which he happily agrees.
Jazz battle parties go into battle with the gangster of all Russia, who was later jailed for selling marijuana -Young Trappa . No doubt it was the strangestVersus of all history, but the winner came outFeduk .
“By the way, they are handsome - they push people who had some kind of conflicts with their foreheads. But there was no fault with me, because I didn’t clash with anyone at all. Nothing happened to me at all - 4–5 concerts in six months in different strange cities. And they wrote to me: such a dude will be your opponent. Here is the link, study, roughly speaking.”
This allowed me to finally climb a step higher and update my work with a new format. On that momentFeduk has already moved away from the underground, forming his own style, more similar to the music of the Canadian legendDrake .
Feduk and Pasha Technician
Another strange collaboration in lifeFeduk became friends with , who is without a doubt the most controversial character in the entire Russian-speaking scene.
As he himself admittedFeduk , Group Container which he founded , was the first Russian underground that he heard and fell in love with such post-humor beyond.
Together with the container,Feduk recorded a couple of tracks and made a promo for the VK group MDK.
Feduk - F&Q (2017)
Having finally decided on the further vector of development,Feduk (Fyodor Insarov)releases his ownloud album "
Real name: Fedor Insarov
Date of birth: 02/09/1992
Place of birth: Moscow
Feduk's childhood
Fedor Insarov, aka Feduk was born in Moscow. At the age of five, Fedya was forced to move with his parents to China, where he lived for a little less than three years. From China, Fedi's family returned to Moscow. But 4 years later, Feduk's father again had to go on a long business trip to Hungary. Therefore, from 2004 to 2008, Fedya lived with his family in the Hungarian capital - in the city of Budapest, after which he returned to Moscow again. 
It was in Hungary that Feduk got acquainted with rap and began to record the first tracks together with his friend Rodnique. As Feduk himself says, it is only thanks to his friend Rodnik that he is now engaged in rap work and is releasing new tracks. If in that distant 2004 fate had not brought Feduk and Rodnique together, then Fedya would hardly be engaged in rap now.
Creativity Feduka in Moscow
In 2009, Feduk organizes his own rap association "Dobro za Rap". In addition to Fedi, the group included 7 more of his close friends. In 2010, Feduk released his first album "Moscow 2010", in which his comrades from Dobro for Rap took part. In the tracks from the Moscow 2010 album, Fedya spoke about his friends, about his love for football and FC Spartak, about his successes and failures in life. As a result, Feduk got a good first undeground collection. 
In 2012, the most an important event in the work of Feduka - he is invited to record the soundtrack for the film "Okolofutbola", as well as record a video clip for the track. Fedya accepts the offer without hesitation. Already in 2012, a version of the track was released, where Feduk himself plays the guitar and sings the song, this is the name of the home version. In 2013, a full-fledged track and video was already released, which brought Feduk huge popularity. The track received the same name of the movie "Okolofutbola". 
In the period from 2013 to 2014, Feduk released as many as 3 albums: Pozharche Season, Ghetto Space and Note Staff. Also during this period, Feduk met Pasha the Technician, Raskolnikov, Kalmar and their entire party. The guys began to do joint work, and also organized several concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In the same 2014, Feduk performed at Versus Battle. His opponent was young trap artist Yung Trappa. In this battle, Fedya won a victory, which brought the rapper a portion of new listeners. 
In 2015, Feduk recorded a song specifically for the “Street Football Extreme” program on the Gulli channel, and also released several singles.
In 2016, the track “Tour De France”, which was dedicated to the events at the football Euro 2016 in France, where the Russian guys created a mess to the maximum, brought Fede great popularity. At that time, Feduk represented creative association Random Crew. Also, in 2016, the artist released a video for the track “Went through”.
Change of musical style
In November 2016, Fedya Insarov released the album "Free", which is very different in sound from all the past works of the young musician. It is worth noting that the well-known Moscow rapper Kravts was noted on the album with a couplet.
In the summer of 2017, Feduk releases the most successful on this moment work - the album "F&Q". The album received an unusual sound, because it was produced by the famous electronics artist Qoss. Many tracks from "F&Q" broke into trends. Later, Feduk shot a video for the track "WATERCOLORS". 
Acquaintance of Feduk and Eldzhey
Fedya had known Eldzhey since 2014, when the Novosibirsk rapper was doing the underground, like Feduk himself. But it so happened that both rappers changed the sound of their tracks a lot. When Aljay moved to Moscow, Feduk immediately invited him to record at his studio. 
As a result, the guys decided to record a joint track by Aljay & Feduk - "Rose Wine". The rappers did not fail, the track instantly broke all the music charts and began to spin on all the popular radio stations in Russia.
At the moment he is working on his next album, which, according to preliminary information, will be released in April 2018.
Together with this artist, they are browsing biographies:
"Rose wine" settled in our heads more than six months ago and does not get bored at all. And after the insanely funny parody shown on the Ivan Urgant show, even those who had not heard it before learned about the song. The magic of this track (the video got more than 60 million views!) is unknown, however, the culprits of the fact that the line "It's so beautiful here, I stop breathing" sounds in almost every headphone are now familiar to many - this is Fedor a.k.a. Feduk and Aleksey, better known as Eldzhey.
The artists almost immediately after the release of the video stopped communicating with each other. Reasons Feduk, aka Fedor Insarov, already discussed in an interview with Yuri Dudyu. the site met with Feduk on the eve of the Moscow concert and asked about the correspondence with fans, the new song "Flakes Fly Up", the release of the album and the scar on his stomach. Let's make a reservation right away: Fedya turned out to be wildly sweet and modest. Gossips, sounds to a minimum, let's go!
The hit "Rose Wine" has been on the playlists for more than six months and almost no one has bothered until now, even you - the person who performs it over and over again. What is the magic?
I don't know, but we really did end up with some kind of audio drug. The chorus is euphoric - I don't know how to explain it. The worst thing is that the song really does not bother and constantly causes some kind of unusual feeling, including me - and so with every listening! It is very interesting how much more she will be heard and on the dance floors.
Have you resumed communication with LJ? Will you perform "Rose Wine" together?
No, we still don't talk much. We are both very busy, we do not have time for this and, most importantly, there are no common topics. Everyone is minding their own business, everyone, roughly speaking, does not care about each other. As for the joint performance of the song... I don't know, maybe. Everything happens in life. I have no conflict with him, I am unforgiving and unvindictive. Offensive thoughts do not creep in.
What about him?
I never heard anything sincere from him. I don't know how to rate this.
You recently returned from Bali, did you manage to write new lyrics and tracks there?
In fact, in such places, I first feed on emotions, and after a while they overtake me, and I write about it. Yes, I wrote a few choruses there - two or three. But these are such short things that I will finish already in Moscow.
On vacation, you did not part with your smartphone: you published a lot of photos and funny stories. He rode a scooter, danced, sang and just fooled around. Not without beach photos - and everyone noticed that you have a scar on your stomach. How did he appear?
It was a very serious operation on the stomach and intestines, which I did as a child. My life was in danger, but now everything is fine. I don’t like to talk about it, because I was sick a lot all my childhood and spent months in hospitals.
You said yourself that your audience is Instagram is mostly female. Do girls often write to you, send their photos? Do you think you could fall in love with your fan? And is it difficult to understand whether they love you for fame and money or just for what you are?
Yes, they write, but they don’t send me explicit photos, by the way. It happens sometimes, but very rarely, and then these are some too young girls.
Insincerity, in fact, can be seen, but the girls have now gone (and they used to be) very cunning. Therefore, sometimes it is really difficult to understand where is the truth and where is the lie. Maybe, of course, it depends life experience. Now, when something like this happens, I try to translate relations into super friendly, but this is if the person is really good, Yes, I understand that someone can use my fame, but let such people themselves be embarrassed for their actions, and not me (by the way, now Fedor's heart is free. - Approx. ed.).
I read a lot as a child, because my mother is a teacher of Russian and literature. Almost everything that we were asked for the summer, I read. But now, recent years six or seven, I read very little, I don't have a favorite author, I can't argue with someone about the style of some poet or discuss a book. Everything has already gone out of my head, and those books that I opened relatively recently ("Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, "Three Comrades" by Erich Maria Remarque, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho), I could not even read to the end. The problem is that there is no self-organization.
You already had a period of glory after the release of the song for the movie "Okolofutbola", but quickly passed. Five years later, you're a star again. How do you feel about popularity now?
I don't feel like a star and I'm mediocre about it. Now it is much more difficult to appear in some public places: if I go to eat in some ordinary place, then I start to catch surprised looks on myself. And I do not immediately realize what is happening, because I just came to eat. After a while, people begin to come up, take pictures, ask something ... There is such a concentration of attention that I feel embarrassed. I don't want to get used to it, because the popularity can suddenly disappear.
Many say that you sing with eyes closed. By the way, when you give an interview, you also don't always make eye contact. Where does this shyness come from? And is it shyness?
When I sing, I try to feel and hear the song from the inside. Inadvertently, I even forget where I am, and this is normal, typical of creative people, songwriters. I always sing soulful slow acoustic compositions with my eyes closed. On the contrary, I sing something energetic and dancing with open eyes and always look at the audience.
Yes, I have always had embarrassment. You see, I'm just getting used to all this. For me, things started to happen very abruptly. Before, I didn’t give interviews much and didn’t go to TV shows. There are no problems with clips - there is no fear of the camera.
Yours came out the other day new song, which fans have been waiting for - "Flakes are flying up." Tell me, what kind of flakes and why do they fly not down, but up?
Of course, the first association with snow. But the fact that they fly up is rather strange, I agree. I won't attribute this song to any particular time of the year, because the song is not about that. The idea is this: something incredible is happening, as if not in reality - so the flakes fly up, the logic is violated. Something just flies up.
"Flake" is a different style of music compared to " rose wine". In most cases, acoustic music is not as popular as dance music, but these songs can become yard hits, and among different audiences. For example, the songs of the Dances Minus and Lyapis Trubetskoy groups. By the way, their music has always been close to me .
Tickets for your next Moscow concert on March 9 are already sold out. Are there any touring plans and when can we expect the release of the new album?
From the beginning of March, we start a big tour of Russia: 40 cities, more new ones will be added! It's a very interesting experience for me because I'll be performing almost every day. After Moscow and St. Petersburg, we fly all over Russia to set the heat. And in the autumn on November 18 at the Stadium we will present new album. It will be almost all dance. I can’t say exactly what style this music has, but it’s nice to dance and ride a car to this. Such a cool dance lounge and house - all together.
Do you get offended when people call you the Russian Drake? Do you like his work at all?
By the way, I had never even noticed before that I looked like Drake. Once I somehow cut my hair, and everyone started talking to me about it. No, I'm not offended. I really like how Drake develops and how quickly he came to success. For very short term Drake has achieved amazing results - more than all the Western rappers put together.
Initially, I liked Drake because he was one of the first to integrate singing into rap. I do this too, but in a slightly different way. I don't rely on it much and I don't copy anything. In general, I noticed that over the past five years, everyone has picked up this wave.
Drake
Why do you even write songs?
If you read my texts and listen, you can notice a lot of incomprehensible things. I have unusual images, the lines themselves add up. I don’t plan anything initially - the words just flow by themselves. I understand that it comes from outside. I must be connected to something supernatural.
Of course, I wonder why I am recording this, for whom, what is the meaning of all this. In fact, all my work is based on kindness, honesty and warmth ... Life is not always smooth, and with my songs I want to make people a little kinder. I pay attention to the emotional moments of life and examine them under a microscope. You know, it's like in books, when one natural phenomenon is described on four pages. So I pay a lot of attention to the description of emotions or phenomena.
Sometimes banter is visible in my texts. I like this contrast: when famous, successful and wealthy people behave simply, embarrassing people who consider themselves popular, media and talented . I am somehow in simple words I can besiege them, not on purpose, but I like it. The same thing happens in my compositions. I can laugh at someone else, and make fun of myself, but without humiliating anyone and without hurting at the same time.
