He was born in Olenegorsk in the far north of the Soviet Union and moved to Germany at the age of eight. His musical style is influenced by British pop, jazz, French chanson, modernist architecture and travel literature. The Russian soul breeds strong in the young artist. With the philosophy of Sartre and Heidegger in his back-mind he gives his life to the mellow drifting of the bitter sweet symphony around him, with a dark and futuristic tone to it. He is part of the network of musicians known as OMAHA-records* and holds a master degree in SoundStudies at the University of the Arts in Berlin. He works in collaboration with renowned Danish-Ukranian artist Sergei Sviatchenko, who is responsible for the visual concept of his music. His upcoming album Vaila is based on an old Victorian horror story and features songs about an island in the northern sea.
