When people ask me where I am from I always say that I am from Russia but I am not Russian. And this moment I get all the attention=) I am Tatar, I represent one of many nations living on the territory of Russia for centuries. My home city Kazan was a capital of Kazan kingdom and is already more than 1000 years old!

My passion to music came out of nowhere. No one from my family was into the music or art. I remember how I was begging my parents to let me learn piano playing. In general my music life was tough. I had to overcome many misunderstandings, go against opinion of some professionals who were trying to convince me that I have no talent. And here I am! I graduated from 4 schools with distinction, moved to Europe and live my dream!

In September 2019 just one month before my birthday I got the present from NMF. I became an owner of baby Steinway!!! What can I say? Even in my craziest fantasies I couldn't imagine that I will have the perfect grand piano in my room waiting for me and calling to practice as never before=)
