I started learning music at the age of 5 with solfeggio, piano lessons, and bel canto singing.
At 8, I joined the children's choir at the Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre. It was an incredible experience to be part of something so special at such a young age, and it taught me so much about discipline and working as a team.
In 2014, my family moved to Kraków, Poland, and I continued singing opera at Opera Krakowska. When I turned 16, I had to stop performing in productions. I was too old for children’s roles and too young for adult ones, which was hard at the time. But it also pushed me to explore new paths in music.
During high school, I decided to enter the Young Talent Award Competition, even though I didn’t have much experience with orchestration. To my surprise, the jury noticed my work, and I was invited to attend a masterclass with the finalists. That week opened my eyes to the world of film music, and I realized this was what I wanted to do.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege to attend festivals and masterclasses to learn from others and improve. It’s been a journey of small steps and constant learning, but every bit of it has shaped who I am as a composer.
In 2019, I moved to Zürich to study composition for film, theatre, and media at ZHdK, and in 2022, I began my Master’s. It’s been a challenging but rewarding experience that’s given me the chance to grow both personally and creatively.
Now, I’m grateful to say I get to do what I love. I’ve worked on short films, features, and video games, and I’ve started a solo project called "half in love". It still feels like the beginning of the journey, but I’m excited to see what comes next.
