Interesting Facts

Macan used several pseudonyms before settling on his final stage name.
The name "Macan" is partly associated with a car model and the image of a strong, fast, independent creature — the tiger.
In childhood, his parents tried to give him an education, but music school did not captivate him enough to stay there for long.
In his youth, he had conflicts with school and discipline; his parents were once summoned to school, and Andrey often found himself in adventures — all of this is reflected in the atmosphere of his tracks.
He combines personal lyrics, romantic themes, and topics of growing up, which makes his music close to young audiences.
