Biography
In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was about two years old my parents got me a toy piano as a birthday present. I began to play tunes and popular melodies by ear. Finally, I got a real piano when I was five and my parents sent me to a local music school. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “13 Pieces for Piano, Op. 76: No. 2, Etude in A Minor” A lovely piano gem that I recently discovered and immediately fell in love with. Some forgotten rarities are true masterpieces, this little Etude is definitely a prime example. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I once performed Frederic Chopin's famous "Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2" for encore, and the mic was on, quite by chance. In the meantime, that sound recording has become the most listened-to (250M+ streams) Chopin rendition on YouTube.
