Early Years

Bizarrap was born in Ramos Mejía on August 29, 1998. He showed talent for music from a very young age. He started rapping at thirteen and at fourteen discovered EDM (Electronic Dance Music), a genre that led him to be interested in production. He then tried several software until music production became his hobby. He taught himself using his home computer; later he created his own independent studio. His parents always supported him. He also learned to play the piano.

In 2016 he finished high school and enrolled in college, but soon dropped out as he was more interested in music production. Currently, he is pursuing a degree in Marketing at UADE and working as a producer at Warner Music. His early work was remixes and productions for rappers participating in Battle Rap events. It was through this that he became known.

Crazy Combos and Beginnings on YouTube

His career on YouTube began in 2017, with the Crazy Combos. These were funny, sometimes informative, videos based on Battle Rap events. They contained remixes and freestyles of the participants, mixed with his own beats in a very original way. As a result, within a few weeks, his channel already had thousands of subscribers and millions of views. His combos and remixes not only opened doors for him in the industry, but also earned him national recognition.

It was then that he came into contact with figures such as Kodigo, Lit Killah and Ecko, whom he began to remix.

In April 2017, his first success came when he collaborated with Duki on the remix of the hit “No vendo trap”.

Gradually, other artists such as Sony, Lit Killah and Acru joined, and in February of that same year, the Music Sessions began with Bhavi as the first participant. This was followed by successful sessions with Ecko, Pekeño 77, and Trueno. He also premiered collaborations such as “Se te da tan bien” and “Antes que sea tarde” with Estani.

Curiosities of Bizarrap

The first BZRP Music Sessions were produced and recorded in his bedroom at his home in Ramos Mejía, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Although BZRP is not limited to a specific musical genre, it is distinguished by its unique style in which the singer is in front of the microphone and Bizarrap in the background, playing a secondary role.
His sessions have become a kind of digital cult, as many digital personalities react to his videos, as is the case of influencer Ibai Llanos.
