Concert “No More Searching”. Toronto 23.07.2024

Pavel Fakhrtdinov is a well-known singer-songwriter. His music is known from Vladivostok to San-Francisco. A true musical globetrotter, his songs and poems are both philosophical and ironic, nostalgic and current. His music represents a unique blend of poetry, high intensity guitar, and powerful delivery. With 10 solo albums and a cadre of collaborations with well-known artists from various genres – Pavel Fakhrtdinov represents the new wave of bard-rock renaissance.

Pavel is a kind of a person and a bridge at the same time. Between bards and rock’n’roll, between yesterday and tomorrow, between trendy and eternal, between alive and forever alive.
And most importantly, he himself is still very much alive. Who knows how to feel and most importantly – admit that he still can. There is already a lot nowadays.

Miron Fyodorov, known by the stage name Oxxxymiron, is a Russian-born British hip-hop artist. In June 2008 he graduated from the University of Oxford with a degree in Middle English literature. After university, Fyodorov moved to the East End where he restarted his musical career under the name Oxxxymiron. The name is derived from his first name Miron, rhetorical device oxymoron and triple X, representing the large amount of profanity in his lyrics.

Today he is one of the most influential and prominent hip-hop performers in Russia, and his albums are considered by the community as the most important releases of Russian rap.
On February 24, 2022, he opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He held a number of charity concerts, and used the proceeds from them to help Ukrainian refugees. At concerts, during breaks between songs, he often spoke out against the war.
