OQJAV, a distinctive presence on the contemporary Russian music scene, is a solo project helmed by the multifaceted artist Vadik Korolev. Known for his introspective lyrics and genre-blending sound that often incorporates elements of indie rock, electronic music, and Russian chanson, OQJAV's music offers a unique window into the heart of Moscow's alternative music world. Vadik's songwriting fluctuates between poetic abstraction and stark realism, exploring themes of personal growth, societal reflection, and a deep dive into the human psyche.

OQJAV's recent body of work is a testament to his experimental nature and artistic evolution. With tracks like "Лето," evoking the fleeting joy of summer, to the contemplative "Послесловие (Марина Цветаева)," inspired by one of Russia's literary giants, OQJAV continues to enchant a growing audience. His soundtrack work for "Человек из Подольска" and thematic explorations in releases such as "Капуста" and "Старость не радость" show a musician unafraid to address both the mundane and the profound, doing so with an authenticity that resonates deeply with his listeners.
