It's really hard to write about myself, but I've decided to try. I was born on August 12, 1977, in the second city of Ukraine - Kharkov. Since 5 years I'm engaged in play on a piano. I guess that's because my mum was music school teacher. In the childhood I played classical music to develop my technics, but only at mature age I began to understand and appreciate creativity of composers: Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Tchaikovsky. At 22-23 I've understood, what a jazz is. At 17 I've started to learn a guitar and a bass to understand the rock music.
My favorite rock bands are Europe and Bon Jovi. And I will always play rock in spite of that's not marketable goods, this music just needs perfect technics. (I don't even speak about virtuosity!).
In 1995-1997 I played atmospheric-gothic-doom-metal. We were "Apeiron", and we played interesting music. But I had to choose, what was music for me - hobby or destiny. I think, my choice's right. In 2000 I graduated from chemical faculty of Kharkov National university. And I don't regret it. One year I worked in school. It's funny! My former pupils are adult people now. I believe, they'll find their ways. 2.5 years I worked as manager in a trading-civil engineering firm (not bad experience :)). Since November 2004 I work in a store of musical instruments, but my future I see related with music and only with it.
I wrote about twenty songs with english lyrics from 2004 to 2008, and you can hear ot on my site http://www.pauldubrovsky.com/ In 2009 I made my dream come true writing an instrumental recording in electronic style http://www.myspace.com/musicpauldubrovsky which is considered like a final product and can be exposed to wide audience. Actually, I decide how to promote my work, hoping it'll be attractive and interesting for producers, musicians and average listeners. I have great plans about 2010 year: I want to rebuild my songs 2004-2008 period with a good vocal and new arrangement. This recording will have the name "Greatest but not latest" and I plan to finish it by the autumn 2010...To be continued :-)
