Start and debut
Reni was born on May 29, 1976 in the town of Pleven, his first steps as a singer gave them as a singer of the Riton group and later of another less popular group called Oxygen.

In 1991, Reni began to enter the world of music in a definitive way, and became part of the DOKTOR DOKTOR vocal group, with which, for seven years, he had a great success in Scandinavia and other countries such as Israel or Cyprus. was during this period during which the singer began to have contact with the Serbian Turbo- folk, especially with many of the producers and singers of Grand Productions, a record that was closely linked to Payner Music, the latter, is the label with which, Reni would sign his first solo record contract, and is the company to which he would belong until 2005.

In this way, in mid-1998, Reni published his debut album, which was titled: "Iskam te," which was a great success in Bulgaria, so in a matter of days alone, it became a diva, to the point where his popularity came to get out of his home country, reaching out of his songs in neighbouring Serbia, which did, his relations with Grand Production, become much more narrow, so he signed a contract parallel to that he contracted with Payner Music the following year.

Success
In early 1999, Reni released his first Serbian album, for which he had the collaboration of both Bulgarian and Serbian producers.

For the Serbian album, Reni has the production of Era Ojdanić, very well known Serbian folklore.

The tour ended in late 2002, from which date, the singer would be working on her two next albums, which would appear a year later.

In 2003, Reni released his third album in Serbian and
