Hi!
My path of ‘music-creating’ never went direct way, but I always came back to it. With some gaps, music managed to find its path back into my life.

For the first time, I started being interested in music more than just a listener at the age of 11. I attended music school for 2 years and dropped out. I never liked the instrument my parents chose for me.

When college started, I got invited to sing in a symphonic deathcore band, that way I found out, that I could write better.
That time I fell for hip hop, installed FL Studio, and started writing my beats. After discovering lofi hip hop, I got dragged in for good. I had a clear vision of how I can contribute to this genre.

In 2017 I released an EP of Soviet-inspired beats on Soundcloud and got noticed by Ninetofive label, which has been supporting me ever since.

I’m originally from the countryside of northern Belarus, surrounded by lakes and forests.
Other than nature, I rely on jazz, ambient, and vintage electronic music as a source of inspiration. Also, nostalgia is a great one, especially places and times I did not experience myself. Producing music is my way to express my mood.
It has become a special ritual, a state of trans perhaps.

Currently I’m based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Besides working on new material, I play at the local fun-made online radio station during the quarantine. Once in a while, I play as a DJ and record mixes of my favorite music.
