I was born on July 29, 1984, in Ekaterinburg, Russia, now lives in Moscow. I started to play the harmonica at the age of 16 in 2000. I plays both the diatonic and the chromatic, but prefers the diatonic for most kinds of music.
My main influences from the harmonica world are Jason Ricci,John Popper and Chris Michalek. I loves all genres of music from Chet Baker’s and John Coltrane’s Jazz, through Jimmy Hendrix to “Nirvana”’s rock to Prodigy and “Rage Against The Machine”.

My musical taste are very wide. I like to adopt my playing all main genres like Jazz, Blues, Folk, Rock, Funk or Classical. I already played together with both Jazz big-bands and Classical chamber orchestras. I really likes to experiment with mixing different kinds of music and is very interested in putting his harmonica style into modern music context, like Hip-hop, Trip-hop, Drum’n’bass or Dubstep. I also really enjoy to play with singers-songwrites.

Besides playing, I'm harmonica customizer - I works using a microscope to make harmonicas much more airtight, allowing to play all notes playing fluently and without any squealing, and to make them to play with a more prominent articulation.
I’m also a professional harmonica teacher; I had been giving harmonica classes in Sverdlovsk musical college.

In 2013 I got two prizes in World Harmonica Festival-2013, second place in Blues/Folk diatonic contest and the third place in Jazz/melody diatonic contest and earlier that year I also won at the international jazz-contest "Master-jam fest" in Odessa (Ukraine).
