Lesha Svik is a performer well known to fans of hip-hop music. He started his way to success with battle rap, recording "lyrics" as part of the group Puzzle and in collaboration with other musicians. Later he switched to the dance beat, and after releasing a house track with a very appropriate title "I want to dance", he announced himself as a solo performer in full voice.
Childhood years and youth of the musician
Lesha Svik (real name Alexey Norkitovich) was born in November 1990 in Yekaterinburg. The family of the future celebrity is difficult to call prosperous. In order not to hear scandals between parents, Lesha spent most of the time on the street, in the company of the same boys, flaunting in baggy pants and dabbling in graffiti.
At the age of 9, the future celebrity became interested in rap. Favorite musicians of the teenager became Eminem and Jared Leto. Later he got acquainted with the work of other representatives of this genre. Already at that time, Lesha tried to write his first texts. It was not very good, but the guy did not lose hope that someday he will be able to perform in front of an audience, gathering full halls. He shared his dream with one of his friends. He reacted with teenage directness, "You're crazy!". The guy had a speech impediment, so the statement sounded like "gone crazy." Later it was transformed into a creative pseudonym of rapper Leshi Svik.
The path to the dream of the future celebrity began with participation in online battles, in which Noize and Oxymiron once became famous. Once he even reached the finals. But to universal recognition was still very far away.
In order not to depend on parents who did not approve of his son's hobby, Lesha dropped out of technical school, and went to work. Was a car washer, shoe salesman, a cook in a Japanese restaurant. In this field, Lesha reached sous-chef, could even become a chef. But his love for rap won out.
Becoming a musician
In 2013, Alexei met Vitya Appldrim and Fami. The three of them organized a group called Puzzle, and started creating lyrical tracks. Unfortunately, they were not very popular with listeners, so the collective did not last long. Very soon the trio turned into a duo, and a little later finally broke up. But Lesha managed to get invaluable experience and gain self-confidence. He continued to work independently and in short-term joint projects with other musicians. He wrote mostly "lyrics", tried to make "dance music", but the first attempts were not successful.
Everything changed after the Warner Music Group label became interested in Leshi Svik's work. The musician sent his representatives his recordings, but they wished to hear something vybovye. So appeared the composition (and a little later the video for it) "I want to dance". Written in just half an hour, it easily won the hearts of listeners, becoming an overnight hit and a turning point in the creative biography of Leshi Svik.
The first track was followed by other, no less successful ones. Very quickly the songs gathered on the whole record. Released soon the debut album Leshi Svik "Youth" for a long time settled on the dance floors of the country and became another step on the way to recognition.
To date, the musician's creative bank has more than a dozen truly hurricane tracks. The artist performs at concerts, gathering full halls of his fans. The childhood dream of "crazy" Lesha came true. And this is not all.
