Mini bio
How it started.
Film and cartoon soundtracks caught Evgeny’s ear as a child. He learned guitar, moved to drums and played in noise bands before teaching himself piano in 2007.
The piece that travelled.
He wrote Valse in 2010. Its outdoor piano video found an audience in Turkey, leading to his first Istanbul concert in November 2013. His biography recalls that he played Valse four times that night.
Where the music went.
Albums including Ice for Aureliano Buendia and Orange Marmalade made room for strings, accordion and small melodic stories. Winter Moonlight followed in 2025, recorded at his Istanbul home with longtime collaborators.
