Alan Khadzaragov

The star of the rap artist under the pseudonym Matrang flashed in 2017. The young Caucasian performer is rapidly gaining height: his composition "Medusa" hit the top 5 hits on iTunes, entered the top ten most listened to on social networks, and in the spring of 2018 became one of the main trends of YouTube. For his vocal likeness and demeanor on stage, the fans called the guy "the second Tsoi", which cannot but flatter the singer.

The rapper's real name is Alan Khadzaragov. The musician, Ossetian by nationality, was born in Vladikavkaz in the spring of 1995. In the family, he is the oldest of the children. One sister studies in St. Petersburg, the other is fond of dancing, and the brother is interested in singing.

Alan's mom is a teacher, dad is a doctor. Parents had nothing to do directly with art, but in his youth his father played in an amateur rock group. He instilled in his son a love of music, introducing him to the work of the legendary bands "The Beatles", "Queen" and "Deep Purple".

The firstborn of the Khadzaragovs went to school a year earlier than his peers, at the age of 6. In the educational institution he preferred literature and the Russian language, he loved to write essays and rhymed poetry, but he quietly hated the exact sciences. The rapper admitted that he even sat down to write a book, but its fate is unknown. Alan's musical talents were immediately noted by the head of the republican choir Olga Dzhanaeva. She invited the student to the renowned Ossetian children's collective "Arion".

Soon, the boy became a soloist and in the 3rd grade was already known as the star of the school: the young vocalist, having won prizes in regional song competitions, went to international ones. He toured in Hungary and neighboring countries, delighting the mentor and parents with new victories.

In early childhood, Alan discovered another talent for drawing. The boy devoted all his free time from lessons and music to him. In the 4th grade, the young artist was taken to the art school, where he studied for 4 years. At a transitional age, a teenager, seeing how his peers spend their free time, left the choir and also plunged into the abyss of youthful entertainment. The only hobby I couldn't quit was drawing.

After leaving school, the guy became a student at a local university, choosing the specialty "design and engineering". But Alan never received his diploma. According to unconfirmed information, he dropped out of the institute and moved to the Russian capital in 2016.

Leaving the choir in the 9th grade, Alan did not forget to sing. The teenager took the pseudonym Don Shal (derived from the name of the Vladikavkaz region - Shaldon) and recorded the first songs. The early work of Don Shal was influenced by Eminem and 50 cent, whom the boy became interested in at the age of 10. On social media, Matrang fans found an early song with the self-explanatory title "Ugly World". The song was recorded in a duet with a certain Byndzha, most likely a friend of Alan, and was released in April 2012. The first musical compositions were written in the style of depressive, heavy rap music.

In the fall of 2014, Don Shal recorded a mini-album, which included 9 tracks. The title of the collection - "Planet Moon" - is dictated by the worldview and feelings of the young vocalist of that period. According to the guy, he first felt a connection with the Earth's satellite at the age of 15 and composed the first track looking at the moon. Since then, Khadzaragov considers her to be his talisman.

Not everyone liked Don Shal's work. According to the vocalist, he gave the tracks to the institute teacher, but she doubted the student's mental health and recommended to see a doctor. But friends-music lovers appreciated the work of Alan and advised him to write further.

The stellar biography of the young artist was continued in Moscow, where he moved from Vladikavkaz. First of all, the 19-year-old performer came up with a new creative pseudonym. Looking in the dictionary, I found out that the beloved Moon in the translation into Vietnamese is written Mat Trang. So Don Shal became Matrang.

During the first year of his life in the Russian capital, Matrang composed a couple of songs, but in 2017 there was a surge of inspiration, and the Ossetian performer recorded the track "Moon" in January. In May, his discography was replenished with a mixtape called "Red Moon" and consisting of 9 tracks. Guest verses in some songs were sung by colleague Nikko. The disc is recorded in the current style of trap sound.

The rapper's first concert took place in his native Vladikavkaz and attracted half a thousand spectators, which is an impressive result for a debut. In October, he delighted fans with the song "Water", in which recitative is reduced to a minimum, but a maximum of chanting parts. For the author, composition is an experiment.

The main hit of Matrang appeared in October 2017: the guy gave the fans "Medusa", increasing the number of fans several times. Alan filmed an amateur video clip for the song in one take at home. The composition instantly became a hit and gained popularity first on the Matranga page on VKontakte, and then on iTunes and YouTube.

The clip was watched half a million times in the first day. True, the resident of the Comedy Club Garik Kharlamov discovered some similarity between the Meduza motive and the lullaby from the comedy Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures (footage where the hero of Alexander Demyanenko gives his grandmother money for an apartment).

The professional video for the song was created by director Maxim Shishkin, who created "screen adaptations" of the singles of Eljay, Ivan Dorn and Miyagi. Matrang played an amphibious man, over whom scientists put experience. Fans noted that the video traces a connection with the Oscar-winning painting "The Shape of Water" by Guillermo del Toro.

For this reason, the artist at first did not want to broadcast the clip, considering it plagiarism, and stealing ideas is low. But it was too late. The nomination for the Russian music award "Muz-TV" can be considered as moral compensation. At first glance, the meaning of the track is not clear, the guy himself agrees that his work is not masterpiece:

Critics agreed that Matrang follows the path of "Mumiy Troll". The songs of this group were sung without wondering what they were about. When they figured it out, they didn’t stop singing, and even rejoiced at such a “pun”. Bottom line: the team from Vladivostok is a legend.

The rap artist became interested in journalists and stellar colleagues, calling him promising and talented. Towards the end of 2017, Matranga received offers from a dozen labels and producers, including Universal, MALFA and Max Fadeev, but Alan chose Gazgolder, founded by the revered Basta.

Khadzaragov has long dreamed of working with "Gazgolder" and Vasily Vakulenko, the artists even celebrate their birthday on the same day. At the end of 2017, inspired by the success of the first hit, Matrang recorded the songs "Rain", "Thoughts" and "Do not be silent".

In January 2018, the musician posted the first "sketches" of a composition called "Hello" on the Web. Music lovers liked the mesmerizing melody and guitar samples, some of the most impressed called the song a future hit. Then Matrang delighted fans with a mixtape "OMO", which included the popular tracks "Neon", "From the Moon to Mars" and "Letali".

Gazgolder released the full-length album of the artist with the laconic name "EYA" in May 2018. Its distinctive feature is a mixture of deep house, hip-hop and oriental lyrics. Eia in Sumerian mythology is the god of underground waters, and water is one of Alan's favorite themes. The disc became five times platinum. Following her, the fans are presented with the melancholy "Wire" on the theme of waiting.

The slender (height 184 cm, weight 73 kg) body of the Ossetian rap star has a dozen tattoos made in open places. Until the age of 18, the father did not allow his son to paint himself, but, having marked his majority, the guy did what he had long dreamed of. The first tattoo appeared on the leg: Alan chose a pattern of sound waves. Next are two moons - black and transparent - on the shoulders. On the chest there was a tattoo in the form of the letter M and a month, and on the neck was a growling cheetah's mouth, which was replaced by an octopus.

The rapper is not married and does not cover his personal life. The media wrote that the hit "Meduza" was dedicated to the beloved girl, in fact it turned out to be a close friend, whom I have known for a long time, but we are not talking about a romantic relationship. In January 2019, after his second solo performance in his career, in an interview with TNT MUSIC, Alan said that his heart was still occupied exclusively with music. And in general, he is Aries by the zodiac sign, which implies a "disgusting character", which not every woman can withstand.

On a solo album in Moscow, Matrang presented the composition Bronze as a product of purely personal labor. The rapper composed words and beats, made a studio recording and mixing, even painted the cover himself.

The fans learned about the release of the single "With Me" from the artist's "Instagram". The work traces the former mystery, unusual lexical turns and a flair of romance. Shortly before the premiere of the song, a new album was released, the corresponding photo was published on Khadzaragov's social network page. The concept of the "DA" disc does not differ from the first one - again there are 9 tracks and there was a mention of the Moon.

However, Matrang now plays more pop, dance music. This is exactly what the rapper does in the video for the song "Name". In the next novelty "Fool" notes of hits of the 90s are heard. Even the familiar "Meduza" and "Voda" have acquired lighter, trance club remixes.

On Alan's birthday, April 20, "Gazgolder" made a gift to the ward in the form of publishing the song "Wake up" on the Internet. And soon Matrang was invited to the television show "Songs on TNT", where he performed a new song "Hello" in the company of participants from the team of Basta Ksenia Minaeva and STRANIZA.

In the fall of 2019, the artist performed at the GlavClub Green Concert, the largest club venue in Moscow, where Russian and world stars gave concerts.
