In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Performing at my music school graduation was a turning point. The applause and pure happiness I felt on stage were overwhelming. That connection with the audience was the spark that motivated me to become a professional pianist. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Andrea Bocelli, Amore Kent Nagano, Mikhail Pletnev, Rachmaninoff International Orchestra, Rachmaninoff Live – The Piano Concertos & The Paganini Rhapsody (Live) Monty Alexander, Solo I listened to these albums countless times as a teenager. Their mastery was a huge source of inspiration for me. Back then, I would dream of one day playing with such skill and performing on big stages myself. 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. “Ой у лузі червона калина” This folk song is a powerful symbol of freedom and inner strength. As a Ukrainian, I recorded it to honor my heritage and the unyielding spirit of my people. For me, it represents resilience and hope that light will always overcome darkness.
