Born and raised in St. Petersburg, I grew up surrounded by the discipline and depth of the Russian musical tradition — then carried that foundation across the Atlantic. Today I split my time between Boston, home to Berklee-bred jazz chops and a deep-rooted rock and roots scene, and San Francisco, where the Bay Area's genre-blurring, tech-forward creative energy pushes things in new directions. Whether behind the kit or behind the board, my job is simple: serve the music.
