Джиган

Djigan is one of the most popular pop and hip-hop artists in our country.

In 2011, Dzhigan received two of the most prestigious music awards in Russia - "Golden Gramophone" and "Song of the Year".

He began his path to success in his native Odessa, where his stage name was born - "Dzhigan".

The first part of the pseudonym - "Gee", appeared thanks to the possession of a very rare at that time album of rapper Ice-T "OG Original Gangster".

The second - "gan", became a reflection of his love for weapons.

Music in Denis's life occupied a special place from the earliest years.

Dzhigan wrote his first track in the ninth grade. The presentation of the song took place in front of classmates at the graduation party.

The site of the school's assembly hall seemed too small for the novice artist and he decided to move on.

In 2005, Dzhigan invited the popular DJ DLEE, who was Timati's official DJ, to perform at one of his parties.
