Andrey Lysikov (born 1971, Moscow), known under stage name Dolphin, is a Russian artist in experimental hip-hop, alternative rock and electronic genres. Dolphin began his solo-career in 1996 after his initial departure from the well-known Russian pop-hip-hop trio Мальчишник. On the first two albums, 1997’s Не в фокусе (‘Out Of Focus’) and 1999’s Глубина резкости (‘Depth Of Field’) he presents a kind of experimental hip-hop, being close to his previous band’s music, but, not alike that, the prevailing mood is depressive as the lyrics are dedicated to drugs and personal self-release troubles. Nonetheless, on more recent stuff rap fades into...

Project "Мишины Дельфины" ("Mishini Del'fini", "Misha's Dolphins") was planned as teamwork of two people: Михаил Войнов (Michail Voinov) (guitarist) and Дельфин (Dolphin). That's why it got such name. Also in project featured: Руслан Ахмеров (Ruslan Achmerov) - bass, Виктор Мутант (Victor Mutant) - sound engineering "Игрушки" ("Toys") - only record, that was created within the scope of this project. Track of the same name from this album got its video embodiment by director Антон Барматов (Anton Barmatov). Album cover was drawn by Dolphin. http://dolphinfanclub.net/ .
