About

I have been playing music for 25 years & have been teaching for the past 10. There is no difference for me if I teach, play or compose music – it is all part of creating something beautiful & fun. A classically trained violinist & singer, I have been writing music in different genres for more than a decade & have recorded violin parts for a variety of professional musicians in recent years.

I started playing classical violin at age 4 & by age 9 I had already toured Europe & North America ... with various orchestras and ensembles. I continued my musical education throughout my childhood at the legendary St. Petersburg State Conservatory with concentration on classical violin, piano & voice. I have studied Jazz/Pop/Rock vocals with Carol Rogers, Masta, Mike Campbell and Coreen Sheehan at Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, California. I have studied songwriting & composition with Andrey Petrov, John Keller, Michael Anderson & Anika Paris. I have studied acting with Stella Adler Academy. Currently I am teaching at Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, recording & producing a musical project called “Orisha Sound” with DJ Galoo and playing shows in the Los Angeles area.
