I was born and raised in Kursk, Russia where I'd studied music since I was 5 years old. Classically trained, I graduated from Kursk College of Music with a Bachelor Degree in Voice and Piano Performance and minor in Choir Directing. During my teenage years I sang with jazz and rock bands and in 2007 relocated to Moscow where I continued pursuing music alongside studying Stage Production at the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts. 2 years later I arrived to New York City for a summer exchange program and instantly fell in love with the vibe of this city. Challenging myself to venture forward in an unknown territory of music industry in the United States, I've made a decision to stay. Years flew by and many original and cover projects later, life brought me to Buffalo NY where I am currently working on my debut solo album titled "Dark Tales" - a song cycle based on tales of horror, strange and paranormal for which I received a NYSCA grant. The album set for its release in early 2024, is my music identity thus far, the labor of love and determination which I hope, will inspire other artists in pursuing their creativity.
