4Pra1 formed in Kyiv, Ukraine around 2014, with Zhanna on vocals, Ruslan on guitar, and Oleg on bass. Their sound mixed electronic pop with indie rock and hip-hop elements. In 2016, their single 'Codein' gained significant attention, becoming one of their most recognizable tracks.
Zhanna's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles, including drug addiction and mental health issues, which gave their music a raw, confessional quality. The band faced criticism in 2017 for performing at a festival in Russia during a period of political tension, sparking debates about artists' roles in social issues.
They released several albums including their self-titled debut in 2016, followed by 'FEARLESS,' 'PRALINA,' and 'SUMMIT.' Other notable songs include 'Eu Tentei,' 'Não Me Deixe,' and 'Sinto Muito.' The lineup eventually expanded to include Max on drums alongside the original members.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
