My parents, being musicians, always surrounded me with the finest sounds. They even sent me off to a music school, where I was very happy. I've always loved singing and have used loads of different instruments as long as I can remember. My friends have always included the kind of people for whom music is vitally important. At the start of 2007 I ran into some wonderful folks who accepted me into their group, and that's why I now play in "Bajinda Behind the Enemy Lines." Together we've managed to release an album and tour all around Russia. At the moment we're working with a new vocalist and are preparing the kind of material that'll hopefully widen our audience. Whenever I'm not busy with "Bajinda" I write music at home using whatever tools I can find. That solo material has been released all over the globe, though I prefer to publish with Russian labels. In either case, it's a real joy to work locally and - thanks to the internet - my recordings can always be sent anywhere across the planet! Music is my life. One of the ways in which I'm able to express myself is through DJ-ing. I do that both as a solo performer and with Lena Deen: together we form the duo "Toxic Tuna." In fact, there are all kinds of tracks in my bag right now: there's crowd-pleasing techno, some accessible dance numbers with a touch of jazz, full-blooded house compositions, and some old-school disco. When I DJ at exhibitions or cultural events, I like to play something with a broken beat, but if I'm playing at somebody's private party, then I'll probably opt for tracks that have stood the test of time. Music might well save the world...!
