On July 30, 2017, the terrible news simply blew up the Internet: the famous Russian musician and producer, a member of the LSP and Gryaz group, died. His fans still care about one question: what led to a cardiac arrest of their idol?
Roman Englishman - who is it?
Roma is a music producer from Belarus. The real name of the musician is Roman Nikolaevich Sasheko. The guy brought popularity to his work in the music group "LSP". Roma the Englishman became especially famous during the collaboration of "LSP" with one of the most famous Russian rap artists - Oksimiron. Together they created a number of singles, which include “Madness” and “I'm Bored of Living.”
Roman's life
The biography of Roman the Englishman is full of interesting facts. The guy was born on April 27, 1988. Unfortunately, very little information has been preserved about the musician’s childhood, so it’s impossible to say exactly what he was doing as a boy, as well as to establish his interests in this period.
In 2012, the story of LSP and Roma Englishman begins. Roma works together with Oleg Savchenko. Until this time, Oleg developed the project alone, but after meeting with the Mogilev music producer, the guy realized that working together would lift the project to new heights. And so it happened.
Beginning of cooperation between Roma Englishman and Oleg LSP
The first joint single was the track "Numbers". It was first heard on May 24, this day is considered the duet's birthday.
Already in the spring of 2013, the guys were noticed by Fedorov Miron Yanovich, better known as rapper Oksimiron. He likes the style of the guys, he considers them rising stars. Together, they record several tracks that became real hits of the year.
In 2015, LSP begins its partnership with Booking Machine, the Oksimiron booking agency. However, already in 2016, a serious conflict erupted between the guys and the rapper, and LSP was breaking off its cooperation with the office. In the track Imperial, which was supposed to be a joint work of Porci and "LSP", suddenly the third part of Oxymiron appears on the guys' disc. It is not for us to judge who is right in this situation and who is not. Only one thing is known: for 2014-2016, the guys released four wonderful albums - "EP", "Hangman", Romantic Colegtion, Magic City.
"LSP" (2016-2017)
Many predicted that the guys ’career would decline after the end of cooperation with Bukin Machine, but in fact it was the other way around. During this period, the most watched clip "LSP" for all the time the guys collaborated was released - "Coin". They released the album Tragic City, as well as the mini-album, Patisserie. In this track, for the first time in all time, listeners can hear the voice of Roma Englishman, he first approaches the microphone. In his verse, he talks about death. Many consider the track prophetic.
Other projects
In addition to working with Oleg LSP, Roman the Englishman was involved in the “Dirt” project together with John Doe. If in the first project the mood of the tracks was cheerful, optimistic, and the message was very easy, then with "Dirt" everything was the other way around. The genre of music resembles post-punk. In their musical works, the guys reflect on the meaning of life, human cruelty, the mission of man. The songs are very heavy and do not leave anyone indifferent. It is known that Roma was very fond of this project, perhaps it was even closer to him than LSP. Unfortunately, the world saw only a few tracks of "Dirt." The death of Roma cut short the future of a promising duo.
Among other things, Roman produced other musicians. So, he produced several tracks of Oxymiron, voiced his concerts, helped Porci with the recording of Earth Burns.
The reason for the death of Roman the Englishman
They say death takes the best. The young man was no exception. Unexpectedly for everyone, the guy’s life ended at 29 years old. On July 30, 2017, his heart stopped beating.
The official cause of death is unknown, but Roman's acquaintances hinted at a possible cause many times. So, Oleg LSP wrote on his page on the social network: "Everyone dies of what he aspires to." It is known that Roma was addicted to alcohol and even drugs. Perhaps it was they who caused cardiac arrest. A few months before his death, the Roman Englishman himself joked about his death. They say that he began to talk on this topic after his attending physician told him about the possible consequences of his hobbies.
According to another version, the cause of death was an ordinary stroke, but the comments of friends put this version into question.
The contribution of Roma Englishman to the development of Russian music
In just a few years, “LSP” has become one of the most popular musical projects in Russia and the entire CIS. The guys, no doubt, founded a new direction in music. It was they who became one of the first who turned to the dance direction in rap, they also popularized this. The Dirt project was also one of the first of its kind. For a short period of time, “Dirt” has received many loyal fans.
The death of a talented musician shocked millions of Roma listeners around the world. Oleg LSP made a video for the single "Body", it refers to Roma - an unusually talented person who left this life too early. The role of Roma in the video was played by the popular Russian blogger Dmitry Larin, who was not indifferent to the guy’s work. Oksimiron also spoke about his former colleague and friend.
