Life
Vasily Mikhailovich Vakulenko was born in the family of an army officer. He studied at the local music college but never graduated.
Between the ages of 15 and 16, Basta began listening to rap and writing her own lyrics.
In 1998 he recorded his first solo single "Моя Игра" (Moja Igra). Then Basta built his own band "Уличные Звуки" (Ulitschnyje Swuki). In 2004 he was discovered by Bogdan Titomir, who offered to go to Moscow with him. In Moscow, Basta met other artists such as Smoky Mo and Guf (future founder of the Centr). Later Basta took part in the recording of Guf's album "Город дорог" (Gorod Dorog) and made the cover of his first single "Моя Igra" with him.
In 2008 Basta created the new artist name "Noggano" and recorded the two albums "Noggano первый" and "Ноггано. Второй теплый “(Noggano. Warm). The name "Noggano" is an allusion to the legendary revolver. Before that he played sad and sometimes romantic tracks, but since “Noggano” he created the new image of the gangsta rapper and sang obscene lyrics about criminals, sex and drugs in parody and grotesque style.
In 2011 he was a presenter at Next FM Radio, later he presented “Hip-Hop TV” on “Gazgolder”. In 2015 and 2018 he was mentor in the fourth season of the TV show "The Voice" and in the fifth season of the TV show "The Voice Kids". From 2016 to 2017 he was the presenter of "Gazgolder Live" on the radio station DFM. In 2017 he became a member of the jury for the “Street Sounds” project.
