Born in Minsk, Belarus. Began artistic career at only three years old when started to sing and perform and touring from Scandinavia to the north of Russia. At the age of five entered the Republican Music College in Minsk, later completing the studies with distinction. Received one of the few music scholarships at the United World College of the Adriatic where studied with Alberto Miodini and the legendary Trio di Trieste and obtained an International Baccalaureate Diploma. The happiest days so far and friends for life!

In 2004 entered the Royal Academy of Music with a scholarship and completed Bachelor’s degree with First Class Honours in 2008 and Master of Music degree with Distinction in 2010. My studies were supported by the Royal Academy of Music, the Musicians’ Benevolent Fund, the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund and Mr Massimo Prelz.
Made my debut as a concert pianist at the age of eight at the Opera House in Minsk, international debut at nine and won my first international competition at the age of ten. Later received first prizes at many international competitions including N.Rubinstein and Stefano Marizza Piano Competitions and the Grand Prix at the First European Piano Competition “Halina Czerny-Stefanska in memoriam”.
