Biography

edit

Oleg Savchenko was born on July 10, 1989, in Minsk into a family of journalists[21][12]. While living in Vitebsk, he began studying music as a child after his father hired a piano teacher for him. After a time he gave up formal lessons and started writing his first poems privately[22].

The first performer whose songs he says he consciously liked was Andrei Gubin[21][12]. In 2004 he watched the Channel One Russia broadcast of Fabrika Zvyozd 4, in which Timati performed. Later, in 2011, Savchenko would comment on that moment as follows: “Can you imagine what that was like for me at 14?! Rap on Channel One! It meant it was time. It meant I had to f…ing go for it”[19]. Having discovered Russian rap, he became a fan of Detsl and Bad Balance. He later became acquainted with Russian rock and the work of artists and groups such as Zemfira, Nike Borzov, Mumiy Troll and Korol i Shut. However, after some time he returned to rap, beginning to listen to American hip-hop, and from that listening he drew the conclusion that “sound is as important as meaning, and sometimes, perhaps, even more important.”[19]

He graduated from the Faculty of Philology at the Minsk State Linguistic University, specialising in the “linguist-teacher” programme[23]. As Savchenko himself recalls, those years were not without financial difficulties, but his parents always supported both him personally and his musical endeavours[12][21].
