BYATA WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE RUSSIAN COMMUNITY OF CONEY ISLAND, KNOWN AS LITTLE ODESSA; A PLACE RIDDLED WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT CULTURES. MANY RUSSIANS MIGRATE TO THIS AREA ALSO KNOWN AS BRIGHTON BEACH IN HOPES OF A BETTER LIFE. HER PARENTS MET IN THE U.S AND MARRIED AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. BOTH OF THEM SHARED A PASSION FOR MUSIC; HER FATHER BEING A DRUMMER AND MOTHER TRAINED TO PLAY CLASSICAL PIANO. UNFORTUNATELY THE MARRIAGE DID NOT LAST MUCH AFTER BYATA WAS BORN, BUT FATE STRUCK AGAIN WITH HER MOTHER REMARRYING A PROFESSIONAL GUITAR PLAYER. AS THE SOUNDS IN HER HOME VARIED FROM THE BEATLES TO MARVIN GAYE, HER FEEL FOR HARMONY AND PERCUSSIONS BEGAN TO MOLD WITHIN HER. GROWING UP, BYATA STRUGGLED TO DO RIGHT BY EARNING GOOD GRADES, AND TRYING TO AVOID THE WOO OF THE STREETS THAT EXISTED RIGHT OUTSIDE HER DOOR. SHE COULDN�T RESIST FOR LONG AND FOUND HERSELF ATTRACTED TO THE LURE OF THE STREET LIFE. THESE SAME STREETS ALMOST ATE HER ALIVE WHEN SHE TURNED TO DRUGS AND HANGING OUT WITH THE WRONG CROWD. SHE REACHED A TURNING POINT WHEN 2 OF HER BEST FRIENDS DIED OF AN OVERDOSE. BYATA FELT A SENSE OF URGENCY TO CLEAN UP HER ACT AND START FRESH. WRITING POETRY HAD ALWAYS BEEN A FORM OF EXPRESSION THAT CAME NATURALLY TO BYATA. BY THE TIME SHE WAS 15 THE WRITING HAD BLOSSOMED INTO MORE THAN A HOBBY, AS SHE ENTERED AND WON POETRY COMPETITIONS AT THE NU YORICAN CAFE, CLUB PYRAMID, AND MORE. AT THE AGE OF 18, SOMAR (A CLOSE FRIEND OF BYATA’S) HAD INTRODUCED BYATA TB
