I grew up in a musical family and started playing piano at four. Voice and accordion soon became part of the same story — different ways of expressing a feeling and sharing it with someone else.
Music has taken me from my training in Ukraine to touring with the folk group Folknery and performing at events and weddings in Guangzhou. Those experiences taught me how much the setting, the people and a well-chosen song can change a performance.
Today, the Okanagan is home. I’m based in Vernon and bring live vocals, piano and selected accordion music to weddings, private occasions and venue evenings across the valley.
My favourite place to start is with you: the song you love, the people you’re bringing together, and the moment you want to create.
