This guitar has been with me through every demo since 2020. Same maple neck, worn frets, burgundy strap.
Most tracks start here – bedroom floor with whatever’s stuck in my head. Boy started as three chords and melody that wouldn’t leave me alone. Chasing Signs emerged from late-night fingerpicking.
Songwriting never changes: guitar first, structure second, production later. Working with Vladislav means bringing fully formed demos rather than fragments. This creates emotional blueprints that survive studio translation.
Street busking taught me which chord progressions connect versus which just sound clever. Playing covers showed me how songs work in real space.
Recording bilingual material revealed how the same instrument expresses differently across languages. English songs pull complex fingerpicking, Russian tracks demand broader strumming. Same guitar, different access.
Live performance requires complete trust. No backup instruments, no safety nets. What you hear in venues is exactly what gets written at home.
The case accumulated stickers from every significant venue and session. Visual diary of five years developing as songwriter-performer.
