Anastasia Fedina (Russian: Анастасия Федина), better known as 2SICH, is a Russian YouTuber and musician who creates metal-themed sketches and original compositions that blend technical electric and classical guitar work with deadpan humor[1] and mental-health–oriented messages.[2] She publishes on her YouTube channel @2SICH, which features music-related skits and full original tracks.[3]
Career
[edit]2SICH began publishing music and visual content on her YouTube channel in the late 2010s, initially focusing on covers, then moving into independent creativity.
Her videos have accumulated millions of views, and as of 2025 her channel has nearly 400,000 subscribers. The artist is recognized for her performances, often addressing themes of inner struggle, resilience, and creative independence.[4] In 2021, her video "Positive affirmations for your me(n)tal health" drew coverage from Metal Hammer (via Louder[2]), which highlighted the overlap of "huge hardcore metal riffs" with encouraging spoken affirmations.[2]
Style and influences
[edit]Discussing her home-studio workflow, 2SICH has cited the creative role of software amp simulators and plugins in shaping her sound, and has described her process as developing a small melodic idea into a fuller track over the course of a day.[3] She has mentioned metal bands such as Lamb of God, Gojira and Mastodon among personal favorites.[3]
Reception and criticism
[edit]Her work has attracted an international audience. The independent blog Sweaty Spice praised her for producing "killer music – hard, heavy, metallic," noting her rapid rise after a viral sketch brought her to wider attention.[4]
Metal Hammer characterized 2SICH’s affirmations video as a "heart-warming" combination of uplifting messages and aggressive riffing, noting its popularity among online metal audiences.[2]
Her humorous video "Metal Soundtrack to Yoga Poses" was highlighted by Belgian public broadcaster RTBF, and covered by Brazilian outlet Whiplash.[5][6]
