Nikita Vladimirovich Alekseev (Ukrainian: Микита Володимирович Алєксєєв, Mykyta Volodymyrovych Alieksieyev, Russian: Никита Владимирович Алексеев, Nikita Vladimirovich Alekseyev; born 18 May 1993), known professionally as simply Alekseev, is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter. He first began his career in 2014 after placing as a semifinalist on season four of The Voice of Ukraine. He subsequently released the single "Pyanoye solntse", which went on to become a number-one hit throughout the CIS and kickstarted his music career. He will represent Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Portugal with his song 'Forever'.
Born on 18 May 1993 in Ukraine's capital of Kiev. When he was one and a half years old his family moved to Chita, two years later his family returned to Kiev. Alekseev attended Kyiv Specialized School No. 106. Among his childhood music preferences, Alekseev notes the music of Queen (band), Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, George Michael and Justin Timberlake. Alekseev graduated from university with a degree in Marketing.
At the age of 12, Alekseev became very interested in music and singing and was taught by Konstantin Pona. He later started his own band called "Mova".
During the Voice blind auditions, Ani Lorak turned her chair for Alekseev, but he did not go beyond the 1st live broadcast. As a consolation prize, Ani Lorak helped Alekseev shoot the music video for his debut single "Everything is in Time". But he did not gain popularity until after he appeared on Voice of the County: Reload where he covered Iryna Bilyk's "I'm Drowning" and shot a music video for it.
