Since finding fame as a semi-finalist on TV talent competition Holos Krainy and releasing breakthrough hit "Pyanoye Solntse", Kiev-born Nikita Alekseev has made his name with a stormy and bombastic brew of widescreen pop. His soaring vocals, sung in Russian and English over sweeping orchestral strings and pulsing synths, have brought him international success and awards. That led him to represent Belarus in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, where he performed his dramatic ballad "Forever".
