I was born and live in Ukraine. Now I am engaged in music. I compose songs, write music, make electronic music. Musician, multi-instrumentalist. I have my own studio and record label. I work on several music projects and release music
2. What inspired you to start playing and making music?
At the age of 8, I went to music school on my own. I graduated from the music school with an accordion class and an additional piano instrument. At the age of 13 I started composing my first songs and singing them with guitar. Later, at the more mature age of 28, I entered the Academy of Culture and Arts at the Faculty of Theater and Music Production, specializing in Sound Arranger and Music Producer. I graduated from the Academy with a Diploma and a Quality Badge from the Rector.
Music has been my vocation since childhood
𝟯. Who are your biggest musical influences? How would you describe your style or genre?
Since I started composing my first songs on guitar, of course at that time such bands as Metallica, Nirvana, Scorpions, Guns-n-Roses and other bands in these styles and their world-famous hit songs were rattling the world.
Later, when I was already studying at the Academy, the world began to literally fill with electronic music and world famous DJs Jean Michele Jarre (by the way, I did a remix for his song “IF”, so I was lucky enough to work with the maestro).
Also the world-famous Armin had a great influence with his creativity.
So the musical project that I am presenting this time I will describe as follows - This is alternative New Rock, Electro Rock, Indie Rock.
4. What are your goals in the music industry or as an artist?
I continue to grow as a Music Producer and my music is already being played all over the World. Someday my songs will be heard by everyone.
I perform concerts in my city. I want to put together a big concert. I'll do it soon
5. Tell us about your creative process when you make new music.
The creative process is the most exciting and interesting thing about music. When it comes to songs, it can be jam sessions, composing lyrics and then music, sometimes all at once, always in different ways.
If we're talking about electronic music, it can be motif and rhythm first and then finalization in DAW.
We get together with musician friends and play Jam is great for making music.
Sometimes it can take a year or more if I'm doing something classical.
6. What is your all-time favorite song by another artist and why?
I like the work of the band "Кино". All songs. In this music the life of a musician. You can't explain it, you have to feel it when you listen to it.
7. What is the best advice you have either given or received in terms of music?
I like the work of the band "Кино". All songs. In this music the life of a musician. You can't explain it, you have to feel it when you listen to it.
8. Proudest accomplishment?
Probably the biggest achievement now is that I can make music for the whole world. Thank God, it's possible now.
I can give concerts and sing my songs - it's wonderful when I can share my creativity with people and spread light.
Music is the voice of God and Angels
9. Just for fun! What's been your most embarrassing moment so far?
I try to think positively, so even if there is some awkward moment I will transform it into a useful lesson and what can I use or what does it tell me.
For example, took money with me went to the supermarket for the bars, on the way drank tea with a cruasan, came for products, bought everything and forgot that I already bought tea with a cruasan. The cashier was not enough It seems awkward, but on the other hand tea with cruasan - good because

The beginning of this song with that deep piano is great, and then it blends with electronic sounds and half-hidden percussions that mark the rhythm...
