“
believe music is the language of the world”
I am a trained pianist, and I have spent more than twenty years
of my life in music. By the age of fourteen I formed my own Rock
band under the influence of "Queen" with Freddie Mercury.
I had my first concert and it was a success. Soon after I was
invited to perform at number of gigs.
I
was becoming more and more popular as an artist across Russia;
and I was developing as a musician. The popularity brought a lot
of publicity for me and pretty soon I was well known. I had a
lot attention from television networks and the media. This was
a very exciting time in my life. But I felt I needed something
more. I wanted to be an international star and so I left for England.
In the beginning the language barrier was a problem for me. But
I perspired to make my music heard.
I
can play various types of instruments all self-taught I have played
the guitar, the violin, the trumpet and the drums. I have been
interested in composing music from childhood I find making my
own music more rewarding than playing other people’s music.
Jim Morrison from the 'Doors' has been my greatest inspiration.
My taste in music various a lot from Jazz to Rock, from Rap to
Pop and so on. Miles Davies is a wonderful trumpet player. I was
introduced to the trumpet through his music. My mother bought
me my first guitar, which I learned to play through watching my
older friends.
At twenty-two, I was still in a Rock band,
the rock star lifestyle had lead me to some undesirable characters.
They introduced me to recreational drugs but luckily I was able
to overcome this existence before it became serious. During this
low point in my life music kept me busy and positive. I have written
a lot of songs, most reflect the sad moments in my life. I write
from experience. I feel music is apart of me. It runs deep inside
me. I am still ambitious about music I believe my best song is
not yet written.
