Georgi Ivanov (born 1991), known under the pseudonym Calligraphist, is a Bulgarian-born MC and poet particularly known as a rapper and lyricist.[1]
Background[edit]
At age 20, Calligraphist emerged as a winner at hip-hop legends Kool G Rap and DJ White Shadow’s MC competition held in English, competing against predominantly U.S. and Canadian rappers.[2][3] Calligraphist is the first and only rapper to date to overcome the language barrier of his native tongue and achieve international success in a foreign language directly due to his belletristic and verbal skills in English.[4]
Discography[edit]
Although having been active in music for nearly a decade, Calligraphist is yet to release his full length debut album. The body of work will be entitled “Ballads of a Traveler” and is expected to be released in late 2014.
