Short biography

    I was born in musical family so was doomed to be a musician. My parents wished me to become a pianist and their dream came true. I graduated from a musical school like every pianist. But all through my life I was eager to be a rock musician. In 1988 I was offered to join the "Dorian Gray" Hard Rock Band as a keyboardist. We recorded one album and our collaboration was finished. After that I tried to play progressive metal in "Ars" Band as a singer and keyboardist but the only thing that came of it was some draft recordings for several compositions. In 1991 I became a student of the vocal Department at the Conservatory. Little by little my studies made me think of composing music more seriously then ever before. I began to take composition classes and later I transferred from the vocal Dept. to the composition Dept. I wrote a lot of classical and rock works in different genres and styles during 5 years of studies. Since 1996 I have recorded my own project including 4 songs. In 1999 after the graduation from the Conservatory I decided to organize my own band "Masquerage" playing progressive metal. To this moment I have 2 projects: "Masquerage", where I am a composer and keyboardist and an individual project, where I am a composer, singer and keyboardist.
