Rvssian

Tarik Johnston, known professionally as Rvssian (formerly Russian), is a Jamaican record producer, singer, and entrepreneur born in Kingston. He learned piano and drums from his father, Michael "Micron" Johnston, founder of Micron Music Limited, and comes from the Johnston family, which holds a stake in Jamaica Producers Group Limited.

Rvssian founded the production company Head Concussion Records in Kingston and rose to prominence after producing Vybz Kartel's "Life Sweet" in 2010, the start of a long-running partnership that yielded numerous dancehall hits. His production work subsequently extended well beyond dancehall into reggaeton, Latin trap, and mainstream hip-hop, with credits for Shaggy, Sean Paul, Konshens, J Capri, Farruko, Bad Bunny, and 6ix9ine, among others.

As a producer, Rvssian has been credited with helping engineer the crossover of Jamaican dancehall production techniques into Latin urban music, and holds the distinction of being the Jamaican producer with the most Latin certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
