Yanix


Yanis Bekirovich Badurov, better known by his stage name Yanix, is a Russian hip-hop artist.

Biography

Yanix was born into a family of doctors. His mother worked as a dentist in a city clinic for 30 years, while his father is a surgeon at a hospital. He excelled academically in school, but his performance was hindered by his struggle with biology, preventing him from graduating with a top-level diploma. He later completed his education at the Moscow State [University of Economics, Statistics, and Informatics].
At the age of 18, Yanix had difficulty pronouncing the letter "R." To overcome this speech defect, he turned to rap music. He was drawn to the technicality of rap, particularly the fast-paced delivery. By attempting to replicate this style, he inadvertently worked on improving his diction and pronunciation. Eventually, he succeeded in pronouncing the letter "R," something even his childhood speech therapist couldn't help him with. Realizing his passion for rap, Yanix decided to pursue it further, and his efforts paid off.
