Oleg Ivanovich Borschtschewski ( Russian Олег Иванович Борщевский ; born January 3, 1969 in Belzy ) is a Russian pop singer.

At the age of six Borschtschewski began piano training at a music school.

Borschtschewski graduated from the Plekhanov Academy of Economics in Moscow . After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he studied and worked in London for several years . At the end of the 1990s he traveled back to Moldova and trained as a computer scientist.

At this time he began to write his own songs. Together with Elena Kiper he founded the group Nitschja . After the success of their song Nitschja , which was published on the Internet , they got a record deal with Sony Music . Her first maxi-single Natschinai Menja (Russian Начинай меня ; German start with me ), published on CD, sold over 10,000 copies, and the album NAWSJEGDA! (Russian НАВСЕГДА!; German Forever! ) another 60,000 times.
