Ilya Prusikin (born 8 April 1985, stage name Ilich) is a Russian musician, singer, producer and video director, best known as the frontman and co-founder of the Saint Petersburg punk-pop-rave band Little Big. Together with vocalist Sonya Tayurskaya, he built the group into a global phenomenon through absurdist music videos, viral hits like 'Skibidi' and 'UNO', and a sharp satirical edge that pokes fun at Russian stereotypes and pop culture. After publicly opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Prusikin relocated to Los Angeles, where Little Big continues to record and tour.
Little Big released the single 'COCO COPTER' on 17 July 2025 and announced 'The Original Skibidi Tour', a 17-date North American run from October to November 2025.
Little Big released the single 'Tchaikovsky' on 6 February 2025, with a music video directed by Prusikin himself.
Prusikin transferred the Little Big trademark rights to the band's manager Alina Pyazok in April 2025, a move that allowed him to continue receiving royalties from Russia despite his foreign-agent status.
Prusikin and Sonya Tayurskaya became parents: their daughter Sasha was born in the United States on 25 September 2024.
Little Big released their fourth studio album 'Lobster Popstar' on 26 April 2024 and supported it with a US and European tour.
