Oleg Frish grew up in the Soviet Union, which had its American culture challenges. American music was a Cold War persona-non-grata, but yet; hit classics like “Volare”, “Hello Dolly”, and “Sunny” permeated the Iron Curtain. These songs fostered Oleg’s love for contemporary American hits ranging from ‘40s swing to pop rock from the ‘60s. That love is the origin of “Duets With My American Idols”; it is a dream come true. “Hearing hit music in USSR back in the day was tricky. There was only one record company, Melody, that promoted American music. You could buy records at retail but they were being sold illegally. I would read magazines, listen to ‘flex-discs’ – you know they were sometimes inserted in the pages of magazines. It’s kind of a mission; I love those songs but without airplay and new recorded renditions, they could be lost,” Oleg remarked.

Oleg started his own celebrity news program in 2005 (in the Russian language) airing on NTV, a leading Russian TV channel, called “Time Out”.  Some of his guests have included  legendary American and European celebrities such as James Brown, B.B. King, Connie Francis, Engelbert Humperdinck, Paul Anka, Al Martino, Jack Jones, John Kander, Jerry Herman, Marvin Hamlisch, Petula Clark, Michel Legrand, Yma Sumak, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Brenda Lee, Vikki Carr, Keely Smith to name a few.  Previously, upon arriving in the United States from Russia, he hosted radio and television programs on the first Russian language TV/Radio station- WMNB.
