We did it! Work on my first album LAND OF LIGHT is officially finished. The release date is set for March 7th, and the anticipation feels overwhelming in the best possible way.
This EP represents two years of creative partnership with producer Vlad Mazur, who became much more than a collaborator – he’s been the architectural force behind every sonic decision. Without his vision and patience through countless revisions, none of these songs would exist in their current form.
The creative process taught me that making an album means learning to trust both instinct and expertise. Vlad’s ability to translate emotional concepts into actual sounds gave these tracks their distinctive character. Every arrangement choice, every production detail serves the songs’ deeper purpose.
Special gratitude goes to Andrey Ryzhkov for providing studio space where creativity could flourish without constraints. Having access to professional equipment and acoustically treated rooms elevated every recording session. The environment shapes the art more than people realize.
LAND OF LIGHT explores illumination as something earned through experience rather than granted automatically. Each track documents different aspects of finding clarity – whether through relationships, self-acceptance, or simply acknowledging that some questions don’t need answers.
The five songs create a complete emotional journey from opening uncertainty to closing acceptance. We spent months ensuring the transitions between tracks felt natural, that listeners would experience this as a unified statement rather than a collection of singles.
Production-wise, this EP pushes my sound into new territory while maintaining the vulnerability that defines my approach to songwriting. Vlad helped balance experimental elements with accessibility, creating music that rewards both casual listening and deeper exploration.
Thank you to everyone who provided inspiration, support, and belief in this project. Your encouragement made the difficult moments manageable and the breakthrough moments even more meaningful. Art happens through community, not isolation.
March 7th can’t come soon enough. After months of living with these songs privately, sharing them feels like the completion of a promise made to myself two years ago.
LAND OF LIGHT arrives everywhere on March 7th. Ready to share this journey with all of you.
