I’ve been performing live since the age of 15, building over 13 years of stage experience as a bass player and multi-instrumentalist. My journey started in local bars, clubs, and small venues, where I developed strong live performance skills, adaptability, and confidence on stage. Over the years, this experience grew into performances at major venues, concert halls, and festivals. I’ve performed at well-known Ukrainian jazz festivals such as Koktebel Jazz Festival and Leopolis Jazz Fest, played with orchestras in opera theater productions, and performed on stages in front of audiences of 2,000+ people. This live experience shaped my musicality, timing, and understanding of groove, dynamics, and audience connection — all of which I bring into my studio recordings and session work.
