About the love of music

I've loved music since my childhood, despite the fact that my family has nothing to do with it. At first I studied at a music school, then entered the conductor-choir music school. Later I went to Moscow and entered the Gnessin Music College for pop and jazz vocals, class LA. Afanasyeva.

I, probably, very happy person, because in my life there are often people who sometimes believe in me more than I do myself. They inspire me.

About Jazz

All my life for me is a continuous stream of unceasing driving force, energy that consists of light and particles, a huge field of limitless potential. And all this comes from the state of inner freedom. So, jazz for me is the same philosophy of inner freedom and dialogue with oneself, it is an experiment that is embodied in the sounds and emotions of deep emotions.

In the last three years I have been performing more modern classical music, experimental avant-garde. It's all music, and it has no boundaries, it's in everything and everywhere.

About musical styles

What music direction do I like more? I do not have an unambiguous answer to this question. It's like comparing an older child with a younger one, but you love them the same way.

I'm still looking for my personal style, because I like many directions. It is already formed to some extent and is based on the junction of musical genres - jazz, avant-garde, folk music, authentic songs. When something completely new and different from this comes out, which you did not expect, you rejoice at it like a child.

On the technique of throat singing "kai"

"Kai" is sacral singing. I would call it even mystical, because it carries with it the unfolding of new layers in man. I used to experiment with this sound more often. He is very powerful.

On healing with singing

People can treat themselves with singing. Sing for yourself and as much as possible! When you sing in full voice, then there are wheezing, coughing, and from there all our emotions "come out". Now I'm conducting vocal seminars related to overtone singing (singing technique with unusual articulation in the throat / larynx, typical for traditional (especially cult) music of the peoples of Siberia, Mongolia, Tibet and the Turkic peoples.

I work not only with professional vocalists, but also with people who are not familiar with musical notation at all. The main thing is to have a wish. There is a study with limiting fears, because many people are afraid to sing and shrink. This is a daily work, which is similar to the work of a ballet.
