Roman Lokimin, who is known to the general public under the pseudonym Loqiemean, is a Russian rapper, songwriter, producer and beatmaker.
Despite his age, Roman managed to realize himself not only in his favorite profession, but also in the family.
The tracks of Roman Lokimin can be described in two words - mega and vital. The rapper reads about the emotions that he himself experienced. His live performances are soulful. The emotions of a young man literally “read” on his face.
Childhood and youth of Roman Lokimin
Roman was born on December 28, 1993 in the provincial city of Tomsk. Lokimin was brought up in a very interesting family. For some time, the boy's father was part of a local musical group, and his mother was a dancer.
The boy grew up in a creative family. And, perhaps, this interest in music and art came from here.
The Lokimin family lived on the territory of Tomsk for about 9 years, and then they moved to Yakutia. The family lived in Yakutia for 5 years, then Roman returned to his homeland with his parents.
Being already an adult, Roman reluctantly recalls his childhood, referring to the fact that his parents never had time for him. Despite this, Lokimin Jr. grew up as an inquisitive and intelligent child.
Already in his school years, Roman to the “holes” erased his favorite compositions of the groups Lenny Kravitz, Kingdom Come and Metallica. Under the tracks of the aforementioned groups, the young man not only “flew” into nirvana, but also wrote his first poems.
As a teenager, Lokimin spent several months visiting his aunt, who lived in Moscow. Upon returning to Tomsk, the young man discovered that he had forgotten his aunt's prefix.
She then mailed the boy's prefix with a little compliment to her beloved nephew in the form of a computer program for creating backing tracks.
This is a key moment in the life of Roman Lokimin. From now on, he began to spend his free time at the computer, trying to create an "intelligent" minus. Parents who saw their son's desire for music were only delighted.
The creative path and music of rapper Loqiemean
During his school years, Roman did not think about the career of a singer or musician. He created a minus on the computer, wrote poetry ... and it suited him just fine. He considered his passion a hobby that could not resonate with music lovers or gurus of rap culture.

Soon the collection "Hangings" was released. Initially, the album was conceived as a collection of tracks that respond to local events that are difficult to assemble into a single concept.
However, Roman managed to concentrate the attention of listeners on the most unpleasant topics.
