SOLD OUT HEADLINE SHOWS IN NEW YORK CITY, LOS ANGELES & CHICAGO NEXT MONTH
WITH FEATURES FROM RAVYN LENAE, KEVIN ABSTRACT, JEAN DAWSON AND MORE
Madrid-based multi-instrumentalist rusowsky releases his debut album DAISY via Rusia-IDK / Warner Records. DAISY was almost entirely produced and arranged by rusowsky, outside of orchestra string arrangements on two album tracks, further planting his flag as one of music’s distinctive new voices alongside his Rusia-IDK compatriots.
DAISY includes the previously shared singles “BBY ROMEO” featuring fellow Rusia-IDK member Ralphie Choo, “ALTAGAMA” and “SOPHIA,” all of which arrived with videos directed by Fomotrauma. The debut album from rusowsky, who Rolling Stone described as “a conservatory-trained pianist with an anarchic side” brings like-minded creatives from around the globe into the Rusia-IDK ecosphere, with features from Ravyn Lenae, Kevin Abstract, Jean Dawson, La Zowi, Las Ketchup and the aforementioned Ralphie Choo.
Speaking about his debut album, rusowsky shares, “In line with what I’m used to, the entire project was created solely by me, in the privacy of my bedroom. The whole record feels impulsive and scattered, and I think it truly reflects the way I am and how I make music. It might seem incoherent at times, but that’s precisely where I seek coherence.
Within these highs and lows, this dance of contrasts, there’s always a common thread: love, nostalgia, and melancholy directed toward a figure I call ‘DAISY.’ Daisy shifts, she transforms—sometimes she’s someone real, sometimes just a desire, something I’ve lived or something I imagine living. Daisy is always different, always someone else, but always Daisy.”
To celebrate the release of DAISY, rusowsky will perform a string of sold out US shows this June, bringing his electric performance stateside for the first time. rusowsky is set to perform two dates in New York City at Elsewhere Zone One on June 6th, which is now sold out, and June 7th before hitting Chicago at Schubas on June 11th and wrapping up in Los Angeles at The Roxy on June 13th. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
Last year, rusowsky shared the collaborative singles “neo roneo” with Latin Mafia and “uwu^^” with BbTrickz, which Rolling Stone named one of the best Spanish-Language Songs of 2024, marking the first music released with Warner Records, who rusowsky signed with last year and partnered with his entire Rusia-IDK collective on a joint venture. Rusia-IDK also consists of avant-garde talents like Ralphie Choo (who closed the year collaborating with Rosalía on “Omega”), TRISTÁN!, drummie, and mori, who are all propelling music in the Spanish capital into exciting and unpredictable new places. Rusowsky will also embark on a series of live performances throughout the year, including a performance at Bahidora Festival in Mexico and more to be announced soon.
Born Ruslan Mediavilla, rusowsky took his stage name from a combination of his nickname, “rus,” and the character Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Rusowsky is a prominent figure in Madrid’s genre-bending alternative music scene that has evolved from a local phenomenon into a sound resonating across the globe, recognized for his storytelling skills and production that plays with musical genres as if they’re childhood toys. Rusowsky began releasing music in 2019 and has since collaborated with a myriad of esteemed artists, including C. Tangana, Judeline, DELLAFUENTE, and fellow Rusia-IDK member Ralphie Choo. From electrifying performances at renowned festivals such as AXE Ceremonia, Sonar, and Lollapalooza South America to sold-out concerts across Mexico and Spain, rusowsky has established himself as a dynamic force in music.
