Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist. Guitarist & vocalist in Firecloud.  Born in Moscow, Russia. Taking classical piano lessons from the young age was a key factor in building up musical foundations, however discovering his parents vinyl collection changed the musical perspective completely!

After relocating to Australia with parents.. The passion for music was reignited over time. A decision to study acoustic & electric guitar and bass with some books was definitely a lengthy affair. Ten years later, singing was added to the practice routine and with discipline and determination, a few original songs were written.
