Kirill "Kirka" Babitzin (22 September 1950 – 31 January 2007) was one of the most commercially successful Finnish musicians.
Kirill Babitzin was born in Helsinki in 1950 to a Russian family.

He won an accordion competition at the age of ten.
His career spanned from the late 1960s until his death in 2007.

Some of his most famous songs include Hetki Lyö (Beat the Clock), Leijat (Kites) and Varrella virran (Down by the River).
Kirka cited his 1960's breakthrough Hetki lyö (orig. Beat The Clock composed by Gottehrer-Stroll, a 1968 Elfstone B side) with The Islanders as his greatest achievement.
Despite his initial success in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Kirka suffered from money-troubles through the late 1970s.
His first band was The Creatures, which he joined in 1964 assuming stage name Kirka.
