My journey in music has always been a balance between deep-rooted tradition and the cutting edge of technology. It started at the Kazakh National University of Arts, where I specialized in violin. That classical background gave me more than just technical skill. It gave me a classical ear for harmony and structure that I carry into every project I touch today. Whether I am arranging a complex orchestral layer or mixing a modern pop track, those years of disciplined training are the foundation of my sound. In recent years, I’ve had the privilege of shaping the sound of the Kazakh music industry by working as a producer and mix engineer for artists like Aikyn, Say Mo, and Nurik Smith. Working at this level taught me how to bridge the gap between a creative vision and a polished, radio-ready product. My go-to environment is Logic Pro, where I handle everything from initial beat-making and MIDI composition to the final nuances of mixing and sound design. My most recent chapter took place in Rome, Italy, during the 2024-2025 academic year. This was a transformative time where I dove deep into Sound Engineering and Live Electronics. I didn't just learn how to use tools; I learned how to build them. I spent months creating my own custom sample libraries and developing specialized MIDI presets within Voltage Modular. This experience in Italy allowed me to master the intersection of live performance and digital synthesis, giving me a toolkit that is both highly technical and deeply creative.
