ФОГЕЛЬ (FOGEL)

FOGEL is the stage name of Robert Chernikin, a Russian singer, rapper and songwriter born in Magadan. He began releasing music in the late 2010s and broke through with the single «МАЛОЛЕТНЯЯ ЛЮБОВЬ», which quickly became a viral hit among Russian teenage audiences. Building on that success, he followed with a string of singles blending melodic trap, pop hooks and confessional, diary-like lyrics about young love, heartbreak and街 street bravado.

His sound sits at the intersection of pop and rap, favoring auto-tuned melodic delivery, minimalist trap beats and emotionally direct hooks aimed squarely at a young audience. Tracks like «БОГАТЫМИ (RICH)» and its sequel «БОГАТЫМИ 2 (RICH 2)» showcase his knack for catchy, boastful anthems, while songs such as «Истеричка (Hysterical)» and «РЕВНУЮ (JEALOUS)» lean into the more vulnerable, relationship-driven side of his catalogue.

FOGEL released the album ЛЮБОЛЬ, Pt. 1, which drew over a million plays on VK Music within its first day, cementing his status as one of the more commercially successful young artists in the Russian-language streetpop and cloud-rap scene. He remains active on VKontakte and YouTube, where he maintains close contact with his fanbase.
