Biography
Thomas Gérard Idir (French pronunciation: [tɔmɑ ʒeʁaʁ idiʁ]; born 26 June 1980), better known by his stage name Sinik (sometimes spelled as S.I.N.I.K.), is a French-language rapper. He is also known as Malsain ("Unhealthy") and L'assassin ("The Murderer"). His father is Algerian while his mother is French. In 2001, he founded his label Six o Nine (6–0–9).
Collaborations / Feuds
His meeting with Diam's at 14 was the turning point of his career. They consider themselves as brother and sister.
Le Toit du Monde, released in 2007, contains a song called "Je réalise" which features British singer songwriter, James Blunt. The single is bilingual, with English parts performed by Blunt and French parts by Sinik.
He is also notorious for a number of feuds with other rap artists, most notably Kizito, Booba and Gaiden
