L e V a N - (stage name) His appreciation of music was evident at an early age & his natural aptitude for listening, responding to music & his absolute sense of hearing, has played an important role in his development. At the age of three, it was clear right away that he's gonna be in music, after, all of a sudden, he went to piano and started playing small part from "Tchaikovsky - October" by ear - music he heard earlier, not even knowing playing piano by that time & already by the age of 4, started taking music lessons.

During that time he participated in many concerts & musical competitions of the school. In the 7th Form he was awarded the First Prize in the contests for performing Chopin’s works.

At the same time he entered the pop-jazz department (vocal) of the Musical College which later changed it's status from College into University & after graduating it he obtained qualification of the performer. Both classical music & jazz helped him to determine priorities of creative appreciation. Very often the intonations from classical works would provide the nourishment & 'spark' for his imagination & stimulate creativity in his own works.

These compositions are distinguished by rich melodies, a highly developed sense of harmonic thinking & the feeling for musical form. His musical ideas & concepts are directed at a search for synthetic forms that appear as a result of the interaction between different genres. All of these complex ideas create works which are in a strong tradition of this genre. Meanwhile developing his own style, he finished Central Musical College & received a musical college diploma in composition. He writes the lyrics to his songs & very often he is a “lyrical hero” of these songs. He performs his songs himself. in 2011 and 2013 he participated in the “The UK Songwriting Contest” & was granted a Certificates for songs & compositions in different genres.
