Basta. Real name - Vasily Mikhailovich Vakulenko. Born April 20, 1980 in Rostov-on-Don. Russian musician, rap artist, composer, radio and TV presenter, actor, screenwriter, director, producer.
Vasily Vakulenko, commonly known under the pseudonym Basta, was born on April 20, 1980 in Rostov-on-Don.
Father - a military man, served in the missile forces.
Mother worked as an economist in a military camp.
Has a brother.
All the men in his family were military men. One grandfather was an artilleryman, the other served in civil defense, was awarded a medal for the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. His uncle Volodya, a helicopter pilot, fought in Afghanistan, another uncle, Sergei, worked at Baikonur. Basta has repeatedly said that he is very proud of his heroic ancestors.
Grandmother Alla had a great influence on his development and upbringing. It was she who took her six-year-old grandson to music school. At first he played the piano. From the age of eight he learned to play the accordion. His teacher was Galina Pavlovna Usenko, Honored Teacher of Russia. Grandmother every day she sat her grandson at the instrument, set the alarm clock, and only after four hours, when the boy knew the given sketches by heart, let him go for a walk.
He studied at school number 32 in Rostov-on-Don. He admitted that there was no particular desire to study, so he got poor grades. He was very mobile, a lot of hooligans.
He never finished tenth grade. Dropping out of school, made his first musical group. Grandmother, believing in her grandson's talent, gave him a Japanese synthesizer. They came up with a spectacular name for their team - "Black Top". Then he took a pseudonym Basta and began to write something between rap and metal. At first, he only wrote music. Then there were texts.
Under the influence of his mother, he entered the school at the conductor-choir department. There were 37 girls and two guys in the Vakulenko group. However, he quickly got tired of studying - he was fascinated by rap. As a result, he was expelled due to poor performance.
His first "adult" song "My Game" conquered Rostov. Speaking at the Sports Palace in front of eight thousand spectators, for the first time he felt real euphoria. Basta later recalled: "I woke up famous, they began to recognize me on the streets."
In 1997, he became a member of the Psycholyric group, which in 1999 was transformed into Casta. Then he was known as Basta Oink. His song "City" was included in the album in the "First Strike" group "Psycholyric". From that moment on, Basta became an active participant in the Rostov rap movement.
He began to work actively as a musician, gave concerts in Rostov and along the Black Sea coast, in the Krasnodar Territory, in the cities of the North Caucasus. The program was made with a close friend Igor Zhelezka. Performances were held both in small venues and in large ones. Together they gathered 6-7 thousand people each, performed at ordinary city concerts.
In 2002, Yuri Volos, one of his friends, suggested that Basta make a studio and write music at home. Vakulenko restored old songs, wrote new lyrics, new melodies.
In 2004, the efforts bore fruit: Basta's cassette, which ended up in Krasnodar, was accidentally heard. Basta said: “Bogdan found out my phone number somewhere, called and offered to buy a song from me. I was stunned by his words, but said that I don’t sell songs ... I can only give them. And gave. Although the money was very necessary, it was somehow inconvenient for me to take it for my compositions. Titomir appreciated the noble act of the young musician and called Basta and his friends to Moscow.
Basta told about his appearance in the capital: “At eight o’clock in the morning on March 16, 2005, my friend and I arrived from our native Rostov to Moscow. We went out to the square of three stations: not a penny in our pockets (there was no money even for the metro), in our hands we each had a small sports bag with clothes. Of the valuable things, there was only a piece of paper with two phones: Bogdan Titomir and one girl with whom we barely knew.
Titomir brought Basta and his comrades to the Gazgolder creative association.
In 2006, the debut album "Basta 1" was released, and the clip "Autumn" hit television. Vakulenko met Smokey Mo and. Indeed, widespread fame came after Basta took part in the clip of the Centr group “City of Roads”. In 2008, the joint video received the MTV Russia Music Awards.
The second album "Basta 2" was released in 2007 and became a bestseller. In the same year, the character appears in the work of Vakulenko Noggano. Then Vasily already performed under the pseudonym Basta and read lyrical tracks. On April 1, 2008, the first release took place on behalf of Noggano.
In 2008, the project appears N1NT3ND0 (Nintendo), the genre of which the performer himself characterizes as "cyber-gang", that is, extremely brutal rap, the action of which seems to take place in the space of a video game.
In 2011, Vasily Vakulenko began work on a new electronic project called Bratia Stereo. The project also includes Coupet and many other musicians who play a mix of house, dubstep, minimal, techno, hip-hop, rock and other very different musical genres.
In 2013, Basta was included in the list of 15 Russian artists of the year according to Time Out magazine, and the album "Basta 4" took 3rd place among the best-selling albums according to the results of the Russian branch of iTunes, individually becoming the most successful hip-hop work.

Scandals and conflicts of Basta
Conflict with Decl:
In August 2016, the creative association Gazgolder held a traditional open-air festival on the territory of the Arma plant. The performers could not meet the time frame set by the so-called “silence law”, after which Kirill Tolmatsky, better known as formerly a regular visitor to the Gazgolder club, published a series of tweets on his Twitter with unflattering words addressed to the association, and later complained to a loud sound at night from the club itself. Basta did not stand aside and reacted: "Decl is a shaggy schmuck."
On September 28, 2016, Decl sued Vasily Vakulenko for public insults inflicted on him. The lawsuit indicated the amount of 1 million rubles for causing moral damage, however, according to Tolmatsky, he does not need money - a public apology is enough. Basta said that he would not "apologise either publicly or in any other format."
The court session was held on December 7, 2016 in the Oktyabrsky Court of the city of Rostov-on-Don with the participation of the defendant and without the participation of the plaintiff. The court ruled: “to partially satisfy the compensation for moral damage, to recover compensation for moral damage in the amount of 50 thousand rubles. Reject the rest of the claim." Also, the linguistic commission determined that the definition of "schmuck" cannot be qualified as indecent.
In June 2017, Decl again spoke of the Gas Holder in a negative way, in particular, he walked through Scryptonite and called him a "guest worker from Uzbekistan." In his opinion, the success of the artist lies only in the well-coordinated work of SMM specialists, co-owner of the label Evgeny Antimony and tour managers, and that anyone could be in the place of Scryptonite. Basta, in response, began to troll Tolmatsky on Twitter. The first entry was “DTSLLHMTCHM” (that is, “Decl is a shaggy schmuck”), and after a while he considered that Kirill Tolmatsky was a hermaphrodite.
Decl filed four statements of claim to the court in the total amount of the required compensation for non-pecuniary damage - 4 million rubles. The first hearing was held on July 13, where it became known that Decl's representatives opposed the admission of the media to the meetings. "Gazgolder" is categorically against this: "We are for an open trial, for the press to be present in the hall, so that each journalist personally sees and hears what is happening in the courtroom, and does not receive information about the case from intermediaries who distort the facts." The next meeting was held on August 15 in Rostov-on-Don.
The court rejected Vasily Vakulenko's request for an examination to determine whether Decl is a hermaphrodite, and ordered Basta to pay Tolmatsky 350 thousand rubles.
Conflict with Nonmagic:
In 2014 creative team Nemagia, consisting of two comedians from the city of Kemerovo, in a satirical form dismantled the film "Gasholder", directed, produced and written by Vasily Vakulenko. The latter commented negatively on this review, calling such humor unsuccessful, citing the video blogger BadComedian as an example, whose film review Basta appreciated.
Having received a lot of views, bloggers continued to review the members of the Gazgolder association, devoting one more video to Slovetsky and Tati. At the end of the video, Nemagia asked subscribers to put likes for the appearance of Vasily's mother in the next review.
Basta asked bloggers to refrain from continuing this topic, but video bloggers continued to joke in a similar manner, mentioning Basta's mother in their videos and live broadcasts. On December 1, 2016, bloggers posted a video on YouTube about the rapper, in which his mother was compared to pornographic actress Phoenix Marie. After that, Basta on Twitter threatened bloggers to find their mothers and “talk to them.” The rapper demanded an apology, since one of the videos was watched by his mother, and the words spoken by the bloggers upset her, and he does not understand such humor. On Twitter, he announced a "competition" for the inhabitants of Kuzbass, the essence of which is to find Nemagia and take an "extreme photo or video with them", the winner of the competition would receive 30 thousand rubles. After a while, he explained that it was a joke, and published a wedding photo of the bride of one of the bloggers - Mikhail - calling her a "winner".
The recording received a wide response and active discussion on the Internet. On December 7, 2016, the conflict was settled. Rappers Obladaet and Markul released the Friends & Family EP on November 30, 2017, on which the very first song is called "Basta". Its content refers to Basta's conflict with Nemagia bloggers, in particular the punchline: "You are dangerous on the Internet - I will find you like Basta", and also talks about the planned achievement of the same success as Vasily Vakulenko.
In January 2018, he was included by the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine in the list of persons threatening the national security of Ukraine.
The growth of rapper Basta: 181 centimeters.

Basta met his future wife Elena Pinskaya in November 2007. They met at a restaurant, and the rapper came there with another girl. On Pinskaya Street, she approached Basta and confessed her love ... to his songs. Since then, they have not parted, and on June 11, 2009 they played a wedding and got married in the Elokhov Church.
7 months after the wedding - December 4, 2009 - the happy newlyweds had a daughter. The baby was named Masha, and it was she, according to Basta, who changed his life:
A daughter is the best thing I've ever done. She changed my life ... The further, the more I fall in love with Marusya, with my own, the best vermin.
Despite the fact that Basta positions himself as a harsh rapper, in family life he is an insanely loving, caring and gentle husband and father. In one of the interviews, Basta's wife admitted that after the birth of Masha, he looked after his daughter better than any nanny:
We have a nanny, but Vasya looked after Marusya better than both of us. He got up at night, took her to his bed. When the little girl caught a cold in the summer, her husband could not find a place for himself, he wiped her with wet rags ... And this love is mutual: when a daughter looks at dad, no one else exists for her.

On January 21, 2013, another happy event happened in the Vakulenko family - the second daughter of the couple was born, who was given the name Vasilisa. Basta shared his experiences, and then boundless happiness, with fans during the day. At 9 am on his Twitter page, he wrote - "Well, with God!", And 6 hours later he announced the birth of Vasilisa and wished the fans to experience similar feelings.
Everything is super, mom and daughter feel great,
The manager of Basta shared with the press. For the first time, Vasilisa met the followers of dad and mom 4 months after birth. Elena posted a photo of her daughter on Instagram, and the followers could not help but note their images: both Elena and Vasilisa were dressed in similar striped outfits.
Since then, netizens could not as often as they would like, but admire the stylish ensembles of Elena and her daughters. Despite the fact that Masha and Vasilisa are the daughters of a real rapper, they are more like little princesses. No wide trousers, hoodies and men's caps - girls are much closer to delicate dresses, flowered sundresses and fluffy skirts. They are very fond of accessories, including bows, headbands and hats, and Masha has a special passion for all kinds of handbags.

In addition to truly girlish outfits, there are a lot of comfortable things in the wardrobe of girls. Both of them are very active and inquisitive, and, as you know, it is much more convenient to explore the world in jeans, shorts, T-shirts and cardigans. Very often, their images are similar to the images of their mother - the same restrained, concise and stylish.
Since childhood, the hand reaches for the good!
Elena wrote under a photo in which Vasilisa is sitting surrounded by Chanel bags. Vasilisa's older sister, Masha, also loves to dress up, and according to her mother, going to a beauty salon and shooting in magazines is her "favorite thing." Perhaps Masha and Vasilisa will want to connect their lives with fashion or follow in the footsteps of their father and one day sing on stage - in any case, their talented parents will surely support their daughters in any endeavors.

Singer Basta (real name - Vakulenko Vasily Mikhailovich) was born into the family of a military man on April 20, 1980 in Rostov-on-Don. According to the sign of the zodiac - Monkey. Vasily Basta studied at a comprehensive school and, at the same time, on the advice of his grandmother, attended a music school.
From the age of 15, impressed by the work of the Wu-Tang Clan and Ol' Dirty Bastards, he began to learn to rap. After graduating from school, Vasily Vakulenko enters the music school as a conductor. But after the first year of study, he leaves the school, realizing that musically he chose the wrong path.
In 1997, Vasily takes instead real surname stage name Basta Hryu and is affiliated with a rap group called "Psycholyric". Soon the group became known as "Casta". In the same year, the group recorded their first album, "First Impact". But already in 1998, the singer left this group and recorded his first song called "My Game", which immediately became a hit for decades. With this song, real popularity came to Basta. From the end of 1998 to 2002, Basta practically did not engage in musical activities.
The reason for Basta's return to the stage was a proposal from a close friend to create a home recording studio. In his native Rostov, this idea did not materialize, so there was a decision to move to Moscow. In Moscow, the rapper's songs fell into the hands of Bogdan Titomir, who liked them. Titomir agreed to become Basta's producer. With its help, it was possible to record 19 tracks of the rapper. A few months later, the first video called "Autumn" is released. This work of Vasily Basta was so successful that it inspired the rapper to shoot another video "Once and For All".
2007 was a significant year for the artist. After all, it is in this year that the album “Basta 2” and several video clips (“So Spring Cries”, “Our Summer”, “Inner Fighter”) are released. In three months, 50 thousand records were sold with the recording of the album. In the same year, the developers of the Rockstar computer games offered Basta cooperation in voicing various game quests. Basta becomes a co-owner of the famous label "Gazgolder". At the end of 2007, the rapper comes up with a new pseudonym for himself - Noggano. With the change of the pseudonym, the style of performing songs also changes. The lyrical songs are being replaced by tougher and more daring hip-hop compositions. Using a new pseudonym, Vasily Vakulenko releases three albums: "First" (2008), "Warm" (2009) and Unreleased (2010).
In 2008, the clip "City of Roads" was awarded the MTV award. In the same year, the rapper tries himself in new genres: actor, producer, director and screenwriter. Based on his own script, Vasily shoots the film "Tea Drunkard".
In 2011, changing the pseudonym again to "Nintendo", the singer releases a new album with the name identical to the new pseudonym. This album consisted of songs performed in the Cyber Geng style.
In the early autumn of 2015, Vasily Basta became a mentor and at the same time a judge of the famous Voice project. Basta's biography and personal life are well known to his fans, so he does not make any secret of this. In 2018, it is planned to launch Basta's new musical project on the air.
Basta - personal life
Vasya Basta boasts a measured and smoothly flowing personal life. The singer met his wife Elena by chance. In early 2009, Vasily and Elena registered their marriage. The wife of rapper Basta is the daughter of a well-known journalist Tatyana Pinskaya.
Later, the son-in-law recorded soundtracks for many of Tatiana's documentaries. In December 2009, the first daughter, Maria, was born in the family. After 4 years, in January 2013, Basta's second daughter was born under the beautiful and romantic name Vasilisa.
Basta's wife
Basta's wife Elena Pinskaya - Vakulenko is a real girl high society. This girl combines refined French manners and the businesslike character that she inherited from her own father.
Elena was born in 1980 in a fairly wealthy family. Elena's father, Dmitry Pinsky, was a co-founder of a popular wine brand. Her mother worked as a journalist covering all the news in the fashion world. In the turbulent nineties, the situation around the family was quite tense. Rampant crime in the country forced to apply increased precautions to all family members. So Elena attended classes at school, accompanied by two guards. Elena's parents, for her safety and their peace of mind, decided to send their daughter to France, where she was to study at a private boarding school. For a comfortable stay in this country, the girl had to urgently learn French.
In early 1997, Elena returned to Russia, believing that European life was too boring for her. In the same year, the girl decides to enter the university. As a result, after five years, Elena graduated from the Moscow School of Business and State Institute management. After graduating from high school, she goes to work in her father's company, where she begins her career from a seller of a wine boutique and rises to a specialist in wine cellar equipment. At the peak of her career, the girl was in charge of four wine cellars with elite drinks. In the future, Elena planned to replace her father, but the meeting with Basta radically changed her life.
Basta met his wife at the Simanev elite entertainment club. Vasya Basta often performed in this club and Elena liked his work very much. After they met, the lovers began to appear together in public. Elena's friends were shocked by her choice, because her chosen one seemed to them an inappropriate party.
Vasily Vakulenko offered Elena to become his wife and the girl, after some thought, agreed. The Basta family became a real sensation among the artistic beau monde. But after a while, all acquaintances and friends of Elena Pinskaya began to recognize the fact that the resulting family is an example for many married couples. Basta's wife and children create all the conditions for the successful work of the artist, and he answers them with love and care.
