SECTA (Filip Ivanov) is a Bulgarian rapper from Varna. His official YouTube channel describes him as an alternative music artist from Varna who reflects his surroundings, and he has released albums since 2019.

Background

ArtPortal writes that SECTA was born and raised in Varna. The artist biography on Last.fm, which is edited by users, gives his birth year as 1997 and says his stage name comes from his days as a graffiti writer. Public details about his early life are otherwise scarce, and we have not added anything we could not source.

  • Nostalgia (27 October 2021): 10 tracks.
  • ИНТЕРВЕНЦИЯ (2 June 2022): 10 tracks.
