Unlike many people working with sound, I was not raised in a music family or played any instruments until 20. But since my mother is a choreographer and I am also a dancer in my spare time, music was still around. At 18 y.o, I moved to the Czech Republic from Russia alone and kinda closed up for people and was listening to the environment around me a lot. And lastly, I tried to make electronic music and after I was introduced to sound design, I figured out that I'm a lot more interested in sound itself rather than music.
