Der Doc – a doctor by profession, a musician at heart. Born in Ukraine, with over 30 years in medicine, Der Doc moved to Germany 16 years ago. With a stable life, private practice, and three kids, everything seemed set. But at 41, a midlife crisis hit. The voice inside said, “Now or never!” He picked up the guitar and took online lessons from virtuosos Michael Baugh and Anders Buaas. No sheet music—just ear and passion. Music began to write itself.
Der Doc writes all his music and lyrics. Some songs carry deeply personal meaning. Others are fictional, yet tackle powerful social issues. A number of compositions are fully instrumental—words aren’t needed when emotion speaks through sound. His debut album blends pop, rock, jazz, rap, gospel, and fusion. On all tracks, Der Doc plays both acoustic and electric guitars. The global vocalists involved in this project were found via Fiverr and SoundBetter.
The album’s arrangements and production were shaped with the help of talented friends: Stanislav Kovalevych (arranger, executive producer, outstanding guitarist in the heavy genre), Dmytro Herasymov (recording and mastering engineer, brilliant drummer), and Vadim Esterman (arranger, mixing/mastering wizard, jazz pianist).
This project is about freedom. Music as a way to be truly yourself—and proof that it’s never too late to chase your childhood dreams.
Alongside music, Der Doc is launching a YouTube channel, releasing one music video synchronized with each new track on Spotify.
