Rapper biography

Oleh Psiuk hails from the small Ukrainian town of Kalush. He later named his band after it. Oleh was born in the family of an engineer (dad) and a saleswoman (mother) on May 16, 1994. He is the only child in the family.

The guy started working early. His parents couldn’t give him much money. He got his first official job at the age of 16. The young man performed unskilled work at a confectionery factory. He later received a small salary for helping out at a construction site. Oleh gained a lot of life experience while working in a concrete plant.

In a small town, there were few opportunities for self-realization and quality education. Psiuk moved to Lviv (a large city in western Ukraine) for 4 years.

According to Oleh, he has been doing what he loves for a long time, but he began to set high goals only recently. He got his first hype at the age of 15, when he presented his classmates with a diss on his teacher. The positive assessment of school friends became a strong motivation for the boy.

For several years he has collected an archive of 30 demos. It was impossible to bring creativity to a high level without a team of like-minded people.

In 2019, Oleh posted an announcement on Facebook about plans to create a hip-hop group. Soon on. Two musicians responded to the public offer – Igor Didenchuk and MC Carpetman (a guy in a carpet suit). This trio became the Kalush group.
