Fira Heffner

Rapper & Hip Hop beatmaker from Kispest (district of Budapest), Hungary. He started to get familiar with rap music at an early age around 1992. Back in the days he only saw videos from MTV, he really had a similar personality and lifestyle what these videos were representing. In 1994 he saw the movie „Juice” and that’s when he started rhyming: one boombox played the instrumental while the other recorded his rhymes over the beats. He started putting down more serious rhymes in 1996. The same year he met Pain (9) (Hungarian rap artist) they wrote lots of rhymes and verses together and they were living a tough ghetto life, since Fira was the ganger of ASC - a gang of 40 members. He got a toy piano from a friend which he was using to try to imitate his favorite artists’ tunes. In 1999 he moved into District 8 (dodgiest, ghetto area of Budapest) and he lost contact with almost all of his old friends and gang members. He bought his first PC and from another friend CJ (Hungarian rap artist) he got the FastTracker2 software. After many years of practicing and producing music, in 2002 he started using Fruity Loops, in 2004 he started using Cakewalk Sonar and Reason softwares taking his producing skills to a higher level. In 2006 he met Suba (Hungarian rap artist, producer) and decided to set up the Playaz Only community for doing rap and making instrumentals. In January 2011 he joined to Real Trill Music with his mate Dupla Pé (Hungarian rap artist), made several instrumentals and artworks for the label's artists, also did featurings in their tracks. In September 2011 he left the label with Dupla Pé, and he stopped doing rap and making instrumentals. He started his virtual "philosophical school" called Firaizmus, speading his thoughts in his Facebook group and his Youtube channel.
