Бархатные тяги (DJ Prezzplay Remix) Gazan
Gazan (Konstantin Zhukov, also known as Gazan; born August 23, 1995, in Moscow) is a Russian singer, songwriter, and blogger. He studied law and worked night shifts in a flower shop — where he wrote his first tracks — and entered music in late 2018.
Standouts include the viral meme hits “Che za lev etot tigr,” “Barkhatnye tyagi,” “Abu bandit,” “Suyetolog,” “Sheykhami,” and the Gidayyat duet “Koronaminus.” Later catalog cuts include “Oboyudno,” “Chernyy merin,” “Pantera,” and newer releases like “Khochu byt kak Gazan.”

The sound is light pop / dance with TikTok-ready hooks: irony, slang, an Eastern-tinged image, and short videos. Without formal music school, he built a career through social media and streaming.
Don’t confuse him with other artists named Gazan: this is Moscow’s Konstantin Zhukov, known for “Che za lev etot tigr” and “Barkhatnye tyagi.”
