ALEKSEEV, the artist name of Nikita Alekseev, was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1993. He was mainly raised by his mother, as his father left the family before he was born. He never actually met his father, but still hopes to meet him one day. 

With his songs and performances he hopes listeners will open up to their emotions and feelings. During the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest it is his main goal to share his own feelings and emotions with the world. 

At the age of 10 ALEKSEEV started playing music and formed his own band in school. In 2010 he started in university and decided to go into marketing. However, he couldn’t live without music and created the student musical group Mova, which mostly played songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

At the age of 18 he attempted to take part in the Ukrainian edition of The Voice, but did not pass the auditions. He tried again in 2014 when singer Ani Lorak, who came second in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, gave him a chance during the blind auditions. While he didn't win, he became the most popular participant of the series.

ALEKSEEV works closely with Oleg Bodnarchuk, one of the most famous creative directors in Eastern Europe. Together they created Drunk Sun (Пьяное солнце), which generated over 35 million views on YouTube.

ALEKSEEV has performed in more than twenty countries around Europe and beyond, and won several awards, such as the Singer of the Year-award, once in Belarus and twice in Russia. He is well known in Belarus and considers himself to be a Belarusian artist, which is why he took part in the country's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Lyrics of FOREVER

It must be something that we call love – wherever I go I’m coming back
And time cannot knock me off my track, this resolution is final.
It must be something that we call love, it’s when you’re craving to say her name
And my reality seems to break apart with her arrival.

No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story and there’s no one around.
We will go for it and I know you’ll be mine, forever...
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming through magnificent sky.
Rain keeps on falling, and I know you’ll be mine forever...

It must be something that we call dream, when all you told me I know by heart,
The type of beauty I call supreme and how it’s driving me crazy.

No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story and there’s no one around.
We will go for it and I know you’ll be mine, forever....
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming through magnificent sky.
Rain keeps on falling, and I know you’ll be mine forever....

You’ll always sing me something new, I will always follow
When I first saw you here I knew that I was blind before you...

No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story and there’s no one around.
We will go for it, and I know you’ll be mine, forever...
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming through magnificent sky.
Rain keeps on falling, and I know you’ll be mine forever...
