Vyacheslav Gennadievich Butusov (Russian: Вячеслав Геннадьевич Бутусов; born October 15, 1961 in Bugach, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union), is a Russian singer and songwriter. He was a lead singer of Nautilus Pompilius, a Russian rock group, until its disbandment, and from 2001 to today of U-Piter. He has since started his own career as a singer and writer.
Vyacheslav Butusov was born in Bugach Settlement, near Krasnoyarsk, in the Krasnoyarsk Region.

Together with him Vyacheslav Butusov recorded his first mature album (An Invisible) in 1985. Next year their tandem released the record (Absence / Separation), which evoked terrific popularity of Nautilus Pompilius. The band’s last album was recorded by Butusov and Kormiltsev in 1996 in England with participation of Boris Grebenshikov and English musician Bill Nelson who became its producer.
After Nautilus Pompilius disbanded, Butusov launched his solo career.
