Ruslán Mediavilla (born 1999), known professionally as Rusowsky (stylized in all lowercase), is a Spanish singer, songwriter and record producer. His music explores underground and avant-garde genres such as bedroom pop, R&B, reggaeton, techno, hip hop and even jazz.

Rusowsky was born into a Belarusian family; his mother was a member of a Belarusian folk group. He has a classical music background, with knowledge of solfège, and plays instruments such as the guitar and piano. He began his musical training at the age of four at the music school run by his mother. Later, he studied piano at a professional conservatory.^[1] The pseudonym "Rusowsky" comes from combining his nickname "Rus" and "Wazowski," the name of a protagonist in the Monsters, Inc. franchise.^[2][3]

In 2019, Rusowsky began independently releasing his first tracks on digital platforms. From the beginning, he has stated that his music is closely linked to the different stages of life he goes through, addressing themes such as love, heartbreak, loneliness, and introspection. Among his main musical influences, he has cited Tyler, the Creator.^[4]

In 2020, Rusowsky released the singles "So So" and "Mwah :3". The former was inspired by the song "Sin Ingresos" by Spanish artist Soto Asa, while "Mwah :3" was later performed in a Gallery Session format.^[5] Also, following the COVID-19 pandemic, C. Tangana contacted Rusowsky to produce the track "Bien:(".^[6]

Between 2021 and 2022, Rusowsky continued collaborating with other emerging and established artists, such as Najwa on "Esta tarde vi llover" and L'haine on "Lilo".^[7][8] During this period, he also collaborated with musicians such as Ralphie Choo, Mori, Tristán, Drummie, Barry B, Gara Durán, Latin Mafia, Dinamarca, and Hnos Muñoz. In 2022, he collaborated with Aitana on one of the remixes of "Formentera".^[9]

In 2023, Rusowsky released the single "Loto," a song that explores heartbreak, melancholy, and sadness, incorporating influences from Mexican music.^[10]

On 30 January 2025, Rusowsky released "Sophia," the first single from his debut album.^[11] On 13 March, he released the second single "Altagama".^[12] In April, he released the third single "Bby Romeo", a collaboration with Ralphie Choo.^[13][14]

On 23 May 2025, Rusowsky released his debut studio album, Daisy, a 13-song work featuring collaborations with artists such as Jean Dawson, Las Ketchup, Ralphie Choo, Ravyn Lenae, Kevin Abstract, and La Zowi.^[15] The album, described as a concept album blending electronic pop, alternative reggaeton, and digital melancholy, has been well-received by critics, solidifying his distinctive style within the contemporary Spanish music scene.^[16][17]

Later that July, Rusowsky performed at one of the Tiny Desk Concerts sessions.^[18] In the set, he presented new versions of "Johnny Glamour," "(Ecco)," and "Malibu," as well as "Sophia" and "Dolores." On 25 September, the Daisy Tour began at the Movistar Arena in Madrid.^[19]
