Childhood and youth
The future rap star was born on February 9, 1992 in Moscow. From early childhood, Fedor Insarov (this is the singer’s real name) was lucky enough to travel around distant countries - his father’s work required constant business trips abroad. When the boy was five years old, the Insarov family moved to China, and at the age of 11, Fedor ended up in Hungary, where he lived for another four years.

Fedor later admits to journalists that he first heard rap in Budapest. The young man was so captivated by this style of performance that he began to try to compose his own songs. There, in Hungary, Fedor met a like-minded person who bore the pseudonym Rodnik. This man began to help the aspiring rapper, the guys even recorded several joint tracks.
The name Feduk, under which Fyodor Insarov became famous, is also associated with Hungary. The answer to the pseudonym is simple: the fact is that “Feduk” sounds more organic to the Hungarian ear than Fedor. Therefore, in Budapest the young man was addressed in this way.
Music
Fyodor liked his first musical experiences, and the young man began to dream of fame and popularity. However, the matter was not limited to fantasies: already in 2009, Feduk assembled his own rap team called “Dobro za Rap”. The team turned out to be quite large: besides Fedor, there were seven more people in the group.
A year later, in 2010, the group released their first album, “Moscow 2010”. All the songs turned out to be close and understandable to young people: Feduk “talked” about friends, life’s joys and failures, football and pretty girls. The album gradually became popular, and Fedor won his first fans. The performer also appeared in his first videos.
Rapper Feduk
Two years later, Fedor’s finest hour came: the singer was offered to record the soundtrack and video for a film called “Okolofutbola”. Without the slightest hesitation, Feduk agreed to participate in this project. After some time, the first version of the song, performed with a guitar, appeared on the Internet, and in 2013 the long-awaited official video was released, which instantly became a hit.
The next two years turned out to be fruitful for Fedor. The performer released three records in a row. Each album became popular, bringing the singer more and more fans. During the same period of creativity, Feduk met other rap artists - Raskolnikov, Kalmar and Pasha Technik. The musicians released several joint works and even organized a number of joint concerts, attracting a crowd of listeners.
In addition, in 2014, Fedor was invited to participate in “Versus Battle” - a kind of competition for rap artists. The singer’s opponent was the aspiring rapper Yung Trappa, whom Feduk easily defeated. This victory brought Fedor additional popularity and replenished the already dense ranks of the musician’s fans.
2015 turned out to be no less eventful for Fedor. At the beginning of the year, the musician delighted fans by presenting a track created specifically for the “Street Football Extreme” program. In addition, Feduk recorded several new compositions. All of them were included in the album “Our Island”, which was released the same year. Fans noticed that the songs from this record received a new sound, which allowed Fedor to charm new listeners and please the already familiar audience with the update.
Feduk
Feduk presented his next album to the public in 2016. The record was called “Frie”, and the composition “Tour de France” became almost an anthem for football fans. Fedor himself admitted that he is a fan of Spartak, so he cannot remain indifferent to the fate of his beloved club. The choice of cover for the disc is also interesting: in the photo, Feduk lies strewn with French fries. Almost immediately after the release of the album, a video was recorded for the song “Got Over It.”
In 2017, the performer recorded another album, calling it “F&Q”. Rap fans and music critics agree that this is the best record in Fedor’s career. The songs “Watercolor” and “I want to fly” have already become real hits.
Fedor's next success is associated with another rapper, Allj. The young people met in 2014. At that time, Eldzhey still lived in Novosibirsk. When the performer moved to the capital, Feduk immediately invited his friend to perform something together. This is how the composition “Rose Wine” was born.
The song instantly became a hit, winning all kinds of charts and charts, and the hearts of fans. According to Fedor, he performs this composition at least twice at every concert - the song is so beloved by the performer’s fans.
Career success
At the age of 14, he began to dream of becoming a rapper; he wanted to be famous and bask in the glory. In 2009, he assembled his own team, which was called “Dobro za Rap”, which at that time consisted of 8 people.
In 2010, the group released its first collection, “Moscow 2010”. All the texts were about beautiful girls, friendship, joy and sadness, playing football. The collection became popular, and Feduk received the love of fans. At the same time, his debut videos began to appear.
In 2012, he recorded the soundtrack and video for the film “Okolofutbola”. Over time, it became a hit and received an incredible number of views. In 2014-2015 he released 3 albums. All the records were incredibly popular. Feduk began to collaborate with Raskolnikov, Pasha Technik and Kalmar.
At the same time, he became a participant in Versus Battle with Yung Trappa. Feduk won. Participation in the battle was memorable for Feduk and his fans. The thing is that there was a sharp contrast in everything. His opponent was arrogant and freaky, but Fedor behaved calmly and relaxed.
The victory brought him success, but the losing rapper faced setbacks. He spoke insultingly towards Feduk, for which he was taught a lesson by St. Petersburg hooligans in one of the local stores.
Feduk himself perceived the battle as school teasing, believing that if a worthy opponent invited him, he would accept the challenge with great pleasure.
Subsequently, he presented the track “Street Football Extreme” and also recorded new songs. All these developments were included in the next album called “Our Island”. In 2021, he presented the collection “Free” , and his song “Tour de France” became in demand among football fans. Feduk himself is an admirer of the Spartak club.
In 2021, the collection “F&Q” was released. He was called the best in the rapper's work. The compositions “I want to fly” and “Watercolor” also became hits. The video for the song in a duet with Eljay “Pink Wine” made the rappers incredibly popular and gave rise to a conflict between the performers.
In 2021, Feduk performed on the stage of the “New Star Factory” project, together with Elman Zeynalov and Zena. Together they performed the track “Rose Wine”. Now he is actively touring.
You can watch Fedor’s interview with Yuri Dud on the Internet, where he admits that his fees are large. For a corporate performance, the rapper receives around 400,000 rubles. Fans of Fedor noted that the interview could have turned out much better if Yuri had talked less about commerce, and more about what Feduk himself wanted to focus on.
In 2021, he presented the song “Sailor” and also worked on a new album. True, the video for the track caused indignation among the artist’s fans. The thing is that in it Feduk demonstrated an application for a smartphone, which he openly advertised. Some felt that its developers appeared to be sponsors of the video.
The next video with Feduk’s participation, shot by Litte big Production for the track “Bachelor” with Yegor Creed and LSP, turned out to be incredibly successful. For many fans of rap music, the trio was unexpected, but looked pretty good. The light-hearted and catchy song quickly became a hit.
The main difference between Feduk and modern Russian rappers is the fact that he is not afraid to experiment with style and insert pop motifs into his tracks. Thus, he understands that the song will become popular and will be played on the radio. And in Russian publications Feduk was repeatedly called the Russian Drake.
Personal life
Fedor’s personal life, unlike his musical successes, is reliably hidden from the prying eyes of fans and journalists. We only know that Feduk has been happily in love for seven years now. The rapper's lucky chosen one is Dasha Panfilova. The young people met on July 27 and celebrate this date every year as an important holiday.

The fact that these relationships are truly harmonious is evidenced by joint photographs that Feduk sometimes posts on his own account on the social network Instagram.
Feduk now
At the end of 2021, Feduk entered the stage of the “New Star Factory” project, performing together with “manufacturers” Elman Zeynalov and Zena. The performers sang perhaps Fyodor’s most popular song, “Pink Wine.”

Now the performer continues to give concerts. In an interview with popular blogger Yuri Dudu, Feduk admitted that performing at a corporate event with just one composition can cost up to 400 thousand rubles.
In addition, Feduk is preparing to present a new album, announced for spring 2021. In the meantime, fans can get acquainted with the song “Sailor”, which, according to rumors, will be one of the tracks on this record.

Fedor likes traveling. Recently he was in Nice, France, Italy; photos from his travels can be seen on the rapper’s account. He also prefers to listen to the music of other artists, likes to take pictures and have fun with like-minded people.
