Oleg Savchenko

BIOGRAPHY

LSP is the creative pseudonym of the Belarusian singer, rapper and songwriter Oleg Savchenko. It is an acronym for "Lil' Stupid Pig," which means "silly little pig." LSP's work is loved for its careful treatment of the text, which is replete with unexpected literary devices.

Oleg Vadimovich Savchenko was born on July 10, 1989 in Vitebsk. Savchenko's parents are journalists. Almost since childhood, he was sure that he would become an artist. "It seemed impossible, but at the level of subconsciousness I was clearly sure that everything will burn out," - Oleg recalled. For a while he mastered playing the piano, but at some point his passion for poetry came first.

Oleg calls Andrei Gubin his first idol. In high school, the guy became interested in rap and the work of Timati, whom he saw on the "Star Factory," Dezl, the group Bad Balance and American hip-hop musicians. After high school Savchenko entered Minsk State Linguistic University and graduated as a linguist-teacher. His student years were marked by financial problems and he lived on $100-150 a month, but he did not give up his passion for music.

In 2009 joint mini-album "No Appeal" with rappers Deech and Maxie Flow was released. Oleg's debut solo mini-album "Seeing Colored Dreams" was released in autumn 2011 and consisted of 5 tracks and a remix. In the middle of the following year he began a close collaboration with the producer Roman Saschenko, known under the pseudonym of Roma English, who had previously played in the punk band GreenChe, and at that time was engaged in studio activities. The musicians founded the LSP duo: Oleg composed the lyrics and Roman did the "existential" beat. The first result of their work together was the track "Numbers".

Between 2014 and 2017, the duo released four albums - "YOP", "Viselitsa" (a reference to a song by the St. Petersburg punk band Chimera), "Magic City", "TragicCity", as well as mini-albums "Romantic Collection" and "Candy Store" (together with the claude rapper Pharaoh). LSP albums included several remixes and cover versions of songs by famous domestic and foreign rappers. And not only rappers - for example, in 2013 there was a cover of the song "Fool and Lightning" by the band "King and Jester". The guys collaborated with such musicians as Yung Trappa, Oxymiron, Sil-A, Sasha Skool, Big Russian Boss, Davip and others. Several compositions became the leaders of the top Russian-language songs according to different influential channels. Also in the creative kitty of the musician - participation in the hip-hop battle "Versus Battle" against the regulars battles Meowizzy. LSP was advised to go to the battle by Oksimiron, who later noted that he did not understand why he wasted his time there.

LSP and Oxxymiron

In 2014, Oleg began cooperating with the Booking machine agency, whose director was Oksimiron, and later recorded a joint song with him, "I'm Bored to Live. In the summer of 2015, cooperation stopped due to dissatisfaction with the agency's work - after signing the contract there were fewer concerts, Savchenko claimed in an interview. In the spring of 2016, the track Imperial was released, in one verse of which LSP shared his vision of the situation with Book Machine. Upon hearing it, Oxymiron supplemented the song with his vision of the situation, and stood up for the agency.

In July 2017 Roman passed away - the circumstances of his death were not disclosed, but there were speculations in the media that the musician died because of drug problems. After the musician's death, the LSP lineup for the "Tragic City Tour" included Den Hawk and Peter Klyuev, with whom Oleg had worked more than once before

In the summer of 2017, Roma English died

Soon the musician opened the sale of products with symbols of LSP - t-shirts, hoodies, caps with the musician's logo, etc. appeared on sale. In December 2017, the artist released the song "Little Prince", the melody for which was written while the Englishman was still alive.In February 2018, Savchenko released a music video for a remix of the rapper Face's composition "Baby", in which the Belarusian vlogger Pleasant Ildar appeared.

LSP NOW

In 2020, Oleg released two albums after a long silence caused by the death of a colleague and friend. The first, "Pig Snout," is presented as a rap opera and tells the story of a certain Pig. The lyrical hero grew up in the Swine Union and after its collapse he goes through the harsh school of life: the army, business, love, betrayal, revenge. But if "Pig snout" was not taken seriously by many listeners, the album "One More City", released a week later, corrected the situation. It is the storyline sequel to Tragic City and is also a single composition. In 2021, in a short period of time, several teenagers committed suicide to LSP's song "Numbers," after which the musician decided to remove the track from all platforms, despite the fact that it is one of his most popular compositions.
