There are no details about the early years of the musician, the scanty details of the biography are fished out by meticulous fans only from thematic sites on the Internet. But judging by the posts on his pages on social networks, not everything was well in the family - instead of bedtime stories, the boy heard swearing and screaming. Alexei's education was limited to nine classes. Then for about 5 years the guy worked as a cook and sushi.

Alexey became interested in rap as a child. The idols included Eminem and Jared Leto. Over time, the guy got acquainted with the work of other representatives of this direction and from each took something for himself. When choosing a stage name, Alexey decided not to limit the flight of imagination. The pseudonym Swick is mutated from "crazy". So even in childhood, a yard friend turned to Alexei when he voiced his dream of becoming a rapper. The word sounded like "whistled" - the neighbor did not pronounce the letter "x".

The first song presented to the audience was the composition "The Last Rain". However, Lesha Swik gained popularity as part of a group called Puzzle. In addition to Lesha, the team included Appledream (Victor Ovsyankin) and Fami (Efim Kartashev). When asked where the name of the group - Puzzle, came from, Alexey replied that, as far as he remembers, he suggested it: after the merger, the musicians that had existed separately before that coincided like puzzles in spirit and understanding of where to go next.

Friends announced the unification of the team in 2013, but after only a year, Efim left the group. In 2015, Swick and Appledream released The Painted World album. A little later, each went his own way. According to mutual posts, all in the same social networks, the conclusion suggests itself that the musicians have maintained friendly relations.

At the beginning of his career, Lesha Swik did not indulge his fans with albums, since his solo career was only gaining momentum. Over time, the sound has changed: this is not the usual rap in the classical sense, but rather EDM, a mix of dance hall and melancholic hip-hop recitative, capable of driving the audience of any club establishment. However, the lyrics of Lesha's songs remained the same frank and harsh, for example, the joint work with Dzhios and Giga (JC) "Unbelievable". Critics attribute the work of Lesha Swick to lyrical rap.

Back in 2014, Lesha Swik took part in the recording of Homi's albums "Cocaine" and "Flashback" by the artist ChipaChip, released the album "Poslevecher", consisting of 7 synergies, with the Ukrainian rapper Grandson.

In addition, Alexei is known for a very fruitful collaboration with the rap artist Dramma. Swick recorded with him "Nymphomaniac", "Angels and Demons", "Don't Lean", "Rondo" and more than a dozen songs. Clips were shot on "Ocean", "Rico", "It Doesn't Hurt". In 2015, Lesha Swik recorded 3 tracks for Tbilis' album "Happy End". Of the independent compositions of Alexei, one can mention "Jim Beam", "We Dance Barefoot", "Vanity", "Loafer".

In the spring of 2017, Lesha released a joint album "Zero Degrees" with Grandson. In the reviews to the disc, the musicians were called street romantics of our time. Traditionally, the record has not been without profanity, the tracks combine Grandson's talent for writing truly romantic lyrics and the professionalism of Swick's vocal abilities.

Although the difference between the two performers is palpable: if critics consider the Grandson to be a representative of the old, truly rap school, then Alexei's performance shows a deviation in pop music. In addition, both fans and experts often speak negatively about the fact that Lesha Swik abuses auto-tuning in his songs.

Another groovy club track of the artist "I want to dance" became a real hit, collecting millions of views on YouTube and hitting the rotation of such stations as DFM, Like FM and "New Radio". As the artist later said, he recorded this hit literally in half an hour at the request of the producers of the Warner Music Group label, with which he intended to sign a contract.

In the fall of 2017, Swik presented a video for the song, shot by clip maker Georgy Lizunov, known for his work with ARTESS, Vova Prime, Yan Gordienko. Roman Shelest, who is also known as CVPELLV, was in charge of the arrangement.

Towards the end of the same year, Swick presented the song "Hostage" to the fans. In January 2018, the premiere of the new single "# Neodeta" took place. The year was fruitful for new hits, many of which were included in the track list of Lesha's first studio album "Yunost". These are the tracks "Don't Forget", "Different People", and the single "Smoke", created in a duet with O'Neill Remix.

The song "Raspberry Light", for which a clip later appeared, caused a great resonance among the musician's fans. According to the artist, he dedicated it to his ex-girlfriend, whom he had met for 4 years. For his work on the track, the rapper was nominated for the Russian National Music Award in the category "Best Dance Hit of the Year".

Lesha also delighted fans with collaborations with Sasha Klepa ("Nearby"), Intriga, Xamm and Viz-a-vis ("I won't give it to anyone"), with Mekhman ("Dreamers"). The bright premiere of the year was the track "Shantaram", created in a duet with Anna Sedokova. The artist on social networks spoke with admiration of the possibility of working together with her colleague from Yekaterinburg.

Lesha Swik's heart addictions are a secret, like much of the rest of his life. In an interview in 2018, the singer said that he lived in Astrakhan for a short time - he moved there for his beloved. In a new place, the young man had time to write music, Lesha was in demand at the recording studio. But his hobby had a negative impact on the relationship with the girl. After parting with his beloved, Swik returned to Yekaterinburg. According to unconfirmed information, his girlfriend's name was Yekaterina Lugakova.

Later, the rapper was credited with a relationship with the Ukrainian singer Marie Kraimbreri and with Anna Sedokova, with whom he worked on joint tracks. The artist himself prefers to refrain from answering questions about his personal life, although at the end of 2018 he said that his heart was free. A wife and children will not appear in his life soon - now Lesha is keen on creativity.

Swick shares his life principles, opinion about this or that situation, as well as current photos on his Twitter page. From there, you can find out that the musician is not interested in battles popular in the rapper community, some modern canons of female beauty, he loves to eat deliciously. He has two cats at home. In his free time, Swik is busy watching football matches, and is a fan of the Spanish club Barcelona.

In personal accounts on social networks, Lesha Swik posted ads for assistance in mixing, writing texts, of course, for a fee. And a video was spread on the Internet in which the name of Alexei was mentioned along with other musicians who "throw" people who turned to them for money.

At the same time, screenshots of the SMS correspondence of the victims with the musicians accused of cheating were cited as evidence on a website dedicated to the work of rappers from the post-Soviet space. Swik himself never commented on this fact anywhere.

At the beginning of 2019, the rapper presented a video for the single "Airplanes". The song itself appeared a year earlier. In the video, which was created in the form of a mini-film about love and hate, the main female role was played by Christina Anufrieva, an actress and former gymnast. The next new hit of the singer was the track "Bitch".

And by March the duet "Kiss on the Balcony" was released, in the creation of which Olga Buzova participated. The song turned out to be so bright that fans of the musicians' creativity had assumptions about the sincerity of Lesha and Olga's feelings for each other.

They continued to intrigue the audience: on March 8, Swik presented Buzovoy with a gorgeous bouquet, a photo of which the singer posted on Instagram, and later at a joint concert gave his colleague a passionate kiss right on stage during the performance of the song.

Alexey continues to perform with concerts in clubs across the cities of Russia. The musician posts performance schedules on Instagram and VKontakte pages. In the first half of 2019, the performer performed in large cities of Russia, Ukraine, as well as in the capitals of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Great Britain, Austria and the Czech Republic.
