musically talented family. At the age of five, he was accepted
to the Vermishev School of music where he studied with some of
the premiere music maestros in the Soviet Union. By the age of
nine, Sasha had created his first compositions and was widely
recognized as a prodigy in Leningrad.
After
many years, Sasha was able to come to America and study piano at
the prestigious California Institute of the Arts, working with
such teachers as Leonid Hambro and Howard Richman. During that
time, he created several original compositions that won local
and national acclaim. In addition, Sasha became skilled at the
drums, viola, and he took extensive voice training. He graduated
with distinction. Around that time he also won the Seraton
International Piano Competition as well as the American Music
Festival competition.

after graduation, Sasha signed with an independent record label-
Giana Records and released a very successful New Age solo piano
album “Velvet Rain”. During the next several years, Sasha
had record deals with Dyan Productions and Lan Music releasing
two more successful solo piano albums- “Silhouettes” and
“Midnight Serenade”. Although engaged with many concerts in
support of these albums, Sasha still managed to complete his
“Symphony no.1 in A minor”, “Symphony no.2 in D minor” a
Piano Concerto, over 40 solo piano compositions, dance and rock
tunes, songs, as well as many other works.
As of today Sasha's compositions total over 100 pieces.

1996, Sasha signed a recording contract with a large independent
label- Rock Records. Also at that time he signed with BMG Music
publishing to administer his catalog of more than seven dozen

“Winter Tales” was released in May 1997 and features solo
piano with symphony orchestra. A year later a compilation album
