Kirill Salyakhov - this is the real name of the man hiding behind the Tenthu alias. He was born on the 23rd of June in 1986 in Moscow, Russia. He found his love for electronic music in 1999 when trance really began spread all over the world. Around that time he began feeling the influence of the most successful and famous DJs and producers (Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, ATB, Ferry Corsten, John Digweed to name a few) and so he started making efforts to create his own music.
Up to 2003, producing was just a non-professional fun, free time activity. Everything changed at the end of that year when, after sending out some of his tunes, he got some positive feedback from some Russian producers. Everything began to get more serious – professional literature, basics of production, new equipment etc. As a result he signed his first contract at the beginning of 2005. It was a vinyl release of the tune called “Miss Illusion” which should be out on Impressive Records. But his first release was “Orange” which was out in January 2006 on the young Alter Ego’s division named “Inov8 Recordings”. That release had great success all over the world and it was supported by Armin van Buuren, the Thrillseekers, ATB, Riley & Durrant, Menno de Jong etc. After that he remixed some tunes for labels like Flux Delux, Banshee, Alter Ego. He signed some of his own tunes on some major UK & NL labels.
