Success didn't come easy for Maks Korzh, but after years of trying to break into the music industry, the young Belarusian's big break finally came in 2012 with the release of his debut album, Animal World. Since then, he's won numerous awards and captivated crowds across the world with his fusion of Russian sensibilities, anthemic Western pop, hip-hop and EDM—with touches of dubstep thrown in for good measure. This melting pot of influences is capped off by Korzh's chameleon-like vocals, which flip back and forth between those of a singer/songwriter and those of a rapper.
