Igor Gonya was born in 1986 in the village of Troitskoye, which is a dozen kilometers from Elista, the capital of the Republic of Kalmykia. From a very early age he developed a passion for British electronic music culture, in particular, the work of such groups as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, and Fatboy Slim. In 2014 Igor moved to the Moscow region where he commenced his career as a sound producer and began to create music in earnest. During the same year, Igor became a resident and guest mix manager for the Belarusian radio show Time 2 House, which was broadcasted on the FM radio station ONT in Minsk and Novopolotsk.

In the process of creating his own music and exploring the global electronic scene, Igor considered launching his own label. In 2015 this dream became a reality and Lisztomania Records was born, with its roster dominated by house music.

Remaining passionate about creating new house music while also working extensively on himself, Igor has released a number of digital releases on more than fifty labels worldwide, including (but not limited to) Tropical Disco Records (UK), Fogbank (USA), i! Records, (USA) Moulton Music (USA), Plastik People (USA), Soulgrab Records (USA), Sub_Urban (Spain), Gents & Dandy's (Belgium), and Fade To Funk (United Kingdom). In addition, Ruhr Top Magazin (Germany), Zone Magazine (UK), and the online magazine Foggy Albion have all written enthusiastically about his releases. Read more on Last.fm.
