The Maneken is an outstanding artist working in one of the most trendy music directions – electronic rock. Using musical styles as an “outfit” for creation of his music ideas he made several unique “collections” which have found their fans not only in former CIS countries, but also in Europe and United States. When he first showed up in 2008, DJ’s from Ukrainian radio stations called him “Ukrainian Jamiroquai”. Today his compositions are wonderful combination of modern dance music and the broad of pop-rock culture heritage of the last decades.
Within two years The Maneken traveled half of the world. His concert geography goes from Yuzhno-Sakhalins’k in Russia to Washington DC, Los Angeles, Miami and Puerto Rico. He played on numerous significant events – he was the only Ukrainian artist playing at the Moscow Millionaire Fair 2009, gig at the main stage of Sochi Music Winter Conference  2010, electronic music festival Pure Future in Trakai, Lithuania, Odessa International Film Festival, Kazantip Festival and many others. His first solo concert held on April 16, 2010 in Kyiv, Ukraine, was a blast and just confirmed his reputation of being one of the most progressive artists on the territory of former CIS countries.
From the moment of his appearance The Maneken is cooperating with foreign recording companies. His debut album “First Look” (2009) was released by French label “Somekind Records” and thanks to Virgin Megastore distribution was sold in leading European countries and Japan. The Maneken’s music videos are being rotated on European music channels and on Middle East: Music Box Italy, MTV Baltic, MTV Arabia, Mad TV (Greece), Sola TV (Spain), QTOM (Germany) and thrice were in World Chart Express on MTV European.  
Turning point of The Maneken’s career was meeting German songwriter and movie director Charley Stadler, known for his “Dead Fish” movie with Garry Oldman playing the main character. Acquaintance grew into a friendship and long-term cooperation. As a result Charley wrote most of the lyrics and became a co-producer for The Maneken’s second album “Soulmate Sublime”. Album was released in April 2011 and presented in Kyiv, Moscow and Los Angeles, on May 2 during his promo gig at MUSEXPO-2011 – one of the main musical forums in the world.
Especially for the performance of new material The Maneken gathered the group, transforming from solo artist to an electronic-rock band. 
One of the most significant performance was on June, 14th when The Maneken played as an opening act before Jamiroquai show in Kiev Palace of Sports for 4 000 of people. During the summer of 2011 The Maneken was on tour performed at 54th Biennale at Venice, the biggest electronic festivals of CIS countries such as Global Gathering (Kiev), Kazantip etc. and presented the new album for 2 000 Ukrainian fans at Arena Concert Plaza (Kiev). 
In March of 2012 new single Safe Connection was released. The song is devoted to the problem of AIDS in Ukraine and it became official anthem for the project of the same name that were implemented by Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. 
At the beginnig of summer The Maneken played at the biggest jazz festival of CIS countries "Usad'ba Jazz" in Moscow and start to work on a new album that is scheduled to release for autumn of 2012.
