I’m proud to be a native Pennsylvanian and proud of my Russian heritage, which have greatly influenced my music and values. I realized at a young age that Andy Warhol (a member of our extended family) and I are kindred spirits. By the time I was 17, I had a fire in my heart compelling me to start life on my own.

At 23, I composed my first poem, but it wasn’t until later that I realized poetry is just another form of music. My first piano lifted me to even greater heights. My experience with the piano enabled me to understand music more thoroughly and using it to my advantage in composing. I often wake up in the middle of the night with music and lyrics flowing through my soul. Every song I compose has a story, or a message I feel compelled to share

My first album is my humble attempt to share my heart with others. This album represents two years of my life. I hope that through my music and lyrics others can relate to the successes and worries that beset all of us.

I pray that in some way I am making a difference. Ren
