Born in Moscow, Russia, as a kid I was taking classical piano lessons but somehow spent more time with the parents vinyl collection. Everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Blood, Sweat & Tears to Beatles & ABBA. A peculiar childhood indeed. Then everything was forgotten. Fast forward to the 90's the passion for music was rediscovered and I fell in love with rock and pop music. Starting to learn bass and guitar. It was a challenge! Fingers bled, but the fire within encouraged the journey to continue. Completely self-taught over the course of 10 years, somehow the effort was rewarded as the creative floodgates opened and songs & instrumentals were written and recorded.

 

Since that breakthrough I've performed live as a guitarist & singer. Performing with local acts like Ruby Red Rose, Naked Soul, Nicolette Forte, Jack Gramski, Justine Jones, Ben McMaster and Phil Ceberano's Band.

 

In 2013, I've travelled to U.S.A to attend Sky Academy with an influential guitarist

Uli Jon Roth.
