Vadim is originally from Zaporizhzhia. He studied at the Zaporizhzhia Engineering Academy, majoring in electronic engineering. In the 90s, he gradually entered the music industry, working on the radio and as a technical director, and also worked in nightclubs in his hometown for four years. Later, he became a sound engineer at the local Palace of Culture. Interestingly, it was in Zaporizhzhia that the producer met Olena Kucher (Olena Topolea). 24 Channel will tell you what is known about Lysitsa's life and how his paths with the singer, who were connected not only by working relationships, diverged.
Star collaborations of Vadim Lysytsa
The name of this sound producer may seem unfamiliar to ordinary readers, because such professions rarely become recognizable. However, the man worked on “Star Factory 2” in 2008, and from 2018 to 2019 he was a music producer on “X-Factor”.
Interestingly, it was at the Lysytsia recording studio that Nastya Kamensky and Potap met. Later, Vadim became a sound producer not only for “Potap and Nastya”, but also for other original projects: “XS”, “NewZcooL”, “Queen$”, “VuZV” and many others.

In 2010, Vadym, together with MOZGI Entertainment, created a recording studio, where many popular Ukrainian stars recorded their tracks: Iryna Bilyk, Andriy Danylko, Vitaliy Kozlovsky, Vlad Darwin, Oleksandr Rybak and others.
The tracks “Time and Glass” were recorded at the same studio. Many songs from this collaboration received awards and considerable popularity among the public.
In 2016, it was Lysitsa who introduced Potap to Michelle Andrade. Moreover, he is the sound producer of all her songs.
In addition, Vadim collaborated with Lyuboda, Zlata Ognevich, and in 2017 began working with the NK project. It is unknown whether the music producer still collaborates with the singer. In December 2025, he gave an interview to OBOZ.UA, where he said that he does not keep in touch with Nastya, but sometimes talks with Potap.
Did Alexey ask for any advice? No, he's not one to ask for it, he gives it himself. Now we communicate periodically, but rarely. I don't keep in touch with Nastya at all. We didn't quarrel, everything is fine – there's just nothing to talk about, both on her part and mine,
– the producer frankly admitted.

Lysitsa also spoke about Oleg Vynnyk, who was given the status of a “fugitive” by the people. He said that in the last period before the start of the full-scale war, the artist had an “altered consciousness.”
Honestly, I can't know for sure, but it seems to me that already half a year before the full-scale invasion, Mr. Oleg was in a state of altered consciousness under the influence of certain substances,
– Vadim recalled.
He last spoke with Vynnyk on February 25, 2022. Then the producer asked the singer where he was and whether he needed help. He allegedly replied that he could not tell anything because the Chechens were looking for him, who wanted to exchange him for the Poltava or Kherson regions.
Working romance with Olena Topolea
At the time of their acquaintance, Olena was 15 years old, and Vadim was 26. The producer moved to Kyiv, and the girl finished school and was thinking about what to do next. She went to the capital to study, and after a while a relationship developed between them.
It should be noted that at that time Lysytsia already had a wife and two children who remained in Zaporizhia. He wanted his wife to move in with him, which led to constant quarrels.
The first three years of our relationship (with Olena Topoleya – Channel 24) were fireworks. It was such a nuclear reactor, because the artist was built on this relationship. I was built on this relationship as a producer. She motivated me to do impossible things. I also motivated her to do impossible things,
– Vadym Lysitsa recalled.

As a result, the couple divorced. And when the breakup with the singer occurred, the producer said that the girl was a “mistress.” He said that in Alyosha's career (this was the creative pseudonym of the singer) there came a moment when it was her priority, not the relationship. So they put an end to it.
Vadym emphasized that all this turned into a “boomerang between the eyes” for him.
“I ended the relationship with my wife, with whom I have two children, and went to another girl. And here I am ending the relationship with another girl because she doesn't want them. I have nothing there and I have nothing here. I broke up with the children – well, conditionally. Although it's not like that, but still. It's my responsibility. That is, this whole story came back to me like a boomerang, flew between my eyes. Therefore, it's not an insult. It's just a misunderstanding of the situation – how it happened and why, what went wrong,” the producer admitted.
Today they do not communicate and do not really want to mention Olena, because today Lysitsa is married to Iryna, with whom they raise a daughter. According to him, his wife does not like it when her husband speaks publicly about his ex.

Interestingly, when it became known about Taras and Olena Topol's divorce, the producer made a statement supporting the artist. According to the singer, he allowed himself to make a public statement because he was simply worried about her.
He must be worried about me. Sometimes I didn't like him commenting on it. It's been so many years! I have an emotional reaction at first, and then it subsides very quickly. I might snort, and then I think I can keep quiet, it's not that bad,
– Elena summed up.
We will also recall that in 2010 Alyosha went to Eurovision from Ukraine. Approximately 450 thousand dollars were spent on the preparation. The fox said that this debt belongs to him legally.
I already have my own agreements with the people who gave me this money regarding restructuring and return. This is, in fact, a closed issue that you can not return to. Alena said that they were forgiven? I forgave her. No one forgave me anything, but these are my agreements. How much money is this? Not tens of thousands, hundreds,
– Vadim said frankly.
