Bio:

...my music career began at the age of five. thanks to mummy...

after completing the music pedagogical institute, i played for an army orchestra, at dances, weddings, for tv programs before becoming a serious musician... thanks to the soviet army!

the next stage in my development was at the age of 22, under the auspices of the «ukr-concert» organization. like a «music-man» i played on keyboards, guitar, bass and other instruments for various bands and groups, traveling all over the country, from archangelsk to central asia and kamchatka. my debut as a composer on the big stage was in 1979 when my music was put to morris carem’s lyrics. my creative life started!

...the yearning for real creative work as a composer led to self-education on such subjects as history of music, arrangement, music forms etc. my music began to resound throughout the ussr on tv and radio...everywhere and for a long time...

a new milestone was reached when i started to experiment with electronic music. this experiment is still continuing...

another big interest was journalism. i interviewed such stars as: ravi shankar, pat mathini, pink floyd, stas namin, alexander gradsky, emi steward, and suzy quatro. such interviews were welcomed by the press; moreover, they were a novelty at that time...thanks to that time...

the result of endless searches for self-improvement was reflected in a discography of 18 albums varying in content, form and spirit; music for 52 shows, performances, festivities, entertainment programmes, musicals, 18 films (incl. animation), more than 150 songs (for children; choral, pop, rock, folk, etc), 96 instrumental pieces, 2 oratorious: author of a lot of articles devoted to music, musicians and culture.

...so, a big thank you to all those who are interested in my music - beginning with my friends in ukraine and the diaspora and finishing with mrs. clinton, who visited kiev to receive my children’s cd a week before my first daughter’s birth...
