I'm a composer, music producer, and sound engineer creating original pieces for theatre, media, independent projects. My work spans vocal and instrumental composition and full-cycle production — from catchy jingles to contemporary orchestral works. With a strong background in music theory, vocals, and contemporary composition, I navigate fluently across genres and formats. My portfolio includes music for theatre, orchestral works, original songs, and distinctive sound identities for various media. I record and produce music — often performing vocals and keyboard parts myself. My skills include vocal arranging, sonic storytelling, and crafting emotionally engaging music for diverse projects. For over a decade, I performed and arranged with United People, an a cappella group blending jazz, neo-soul, gospel, and ethnic styles. I also released a self-produced EP, experimenting with a vocal trumpet — a sound I create with my voice. I currently work in theatre as both composer and sound engineer. I’m proficient in Logic Pro and Sibelius. My academic path includes degrees in music theory, jazz vocals, and sound engineering. I am completing a second master’s in composition, staying connected to orchestral collaboration. I value clarity and depth in music and am open to meaningful projects where my skills can contribute fully.

    paper Orchestral & Symphonic Music (Original Compositions)

    This playlist features my original orchestral and symphonic compositions — showcasing my ability to create rich, emotionally nuanced music for full orchestra. All works are fully arranged and orchestrated by me, with scores professionally notated in Sibelius.
    I specialize in writing cinematic and theatrical orchestral music that can stand alone or enhance film, stage, or multimedia productions. Whether you’re looking for sweeping symphonic themes, subtle textures, or specific instrumentation, I compose, arrange, and orchestrate everything from scratch with a deep understanding of orchestral colour and form.
    These tracks represent examples of the kind of music I can create — and I’m always happy to compose original pieces tailored to your project’s specific needs or ensemble.

    paper L.Y.N.X. (original vocal trumpet project)

    L.Y.N.X is my original contemporary jazz project, where the voice becomes a “vocal trumpet” — layered, harmonically rich, and timbrally flexible.
    I wrote and performed all the vocal parts, including a track built entirely on my own multi-voice arrangement.
    The project was featured in JAZZIZ, a leading American jazz magazine. It’s an intimate and bold experiment blending voice, electronics, and improvisation.

    paper MARTA (vocal youth project)

    Two excerpts from a vocal youth project featuring a young performer, Marta.
    All music, lyrics, arrangement, sound design, recording, vocal production were done by me. Mixing and mastering were done in collaboration. The vocal performances are delivered by a talented young singer (age 13 at the time), while I provided all backing vocals, instrumental tracks, and postproduction.
    The first song, “Earth”, blends conscious rap, hip-hop with neo-soul aesthetics and includes layered vocal textures and analog synths (Moog, Nord). The second, “Неба блакить” (Neba blakyt), is an electronic piece in Ukrainian, equally deep in emotional content and sonic detail.

    ⚠️ Please note: This is not typical children’s music – it is youth-performed but written, arranged and produced for artistic and conceptual impact.
