I started playing piano at a very early age, by ear, and later on I was accepted to study in a State Music School in Russia, my home country, where I graduated. I have studied the pianoforte as my main speciality, with addition of other subjects like Music Theory, Choir Singing, Accompaniment, and so on. Having appeared in performances and competitions as a solo pianist or as part of the School's Choir, I knew then I liked to be on stage and in front of an audience.

Recently, I have joined a local singing group to act as a pianist when required and sing with them. I have appeared as a solo pianist in some local charity and social events and plan to continue doing so in the future.

On a personal note, I am married and we have two lovely children, as well as a pet dog and lots of fish, to keep us all busy. My other passion in life is horses and my second profession is a riding coach, as I am also a trained Coach/ PE teacher. Only doing both jobs, music and horses, brings me satisfaction and sense of fulfillment.
