Kolya Funk

Beginnings and The Confusion project (2008–2010)

In 2008, following his introduction to the Yushkov brothers, Shikhov co-founded The Confusion project, working in the progressive house and tech house styles.

Solo career and early recognition (2011–2017)

In 2011, Nikolay began developing his solo project under the name Kolya Funk. By 2013, the project had gained recognition through remixes of established artists. Following his move to Saint Petersburg, he began releasing official remixes.

From 2015, he embarked on active touring across Russia, and from 2016 he undertook international tours under the banner of the "Russian Party".

Mainstream success (2018–present)

By 2018, Kolya Funk had become one of the leading figures of the Russian club scene and began a collaboration with Warner Music Group, building an original music catalogue.

In 2020, he released an official remix of "Redemption" by Hurts, which reached leading positions in CIS charts and international ratings. From 2020 onward, Nikolay increasingly focused on releasing original tracks and remakes, gradually moving away from remixes.

In 2023, he relocated to Moscow. His remakes of "White Night" and "Summer Jam" reached high positions in charts and popular playlists.

In 2024, Kolya Funk and Tin Tin began a joint project with Matvey Emerson, creating original music in the Russian language.
