Album Notes

Music has the ability to transform, heal and speak to
the soul. This is true essence of highly accomplished
guitarist, arranger, producer - Vlad. Beyond any
musical boundaries, his creations can be described as
Contemporary World Fusion, combining a mixture of
sounds, from World, Jazz, Pop, Symphonic, Soul and
more. Now weave together all of life's richness and
add hues of color and layers of texture. This is what
is heard in each of Vlad's works - each song a
different experience and each note is full of life.

Born in a small town in Ukraine, Vlad's passion for
music took him far beyond his hometown and beyond the
country's borders. Started as a drummer at age 7 and
taken by guitar by the age 13, Vlad's guitar playing
and songwriting brought songs to the top of the charts
for rock band Forte, legendary band "Tea Fan Club",
and even as a lead vocalist in his own band "Loony
Pelen" - gathering accolades from both critics and the
fans.

His producing and writing skills helped many ukrainian
and international artists to get to the hights of
their popular success. Among them - a Eurovision
Winner and World Music Awards holder of 2004 Ruslana.

But the world was yet to be discovered. in 1996 Vlad
was awarded with scholarship to study at Berklee
College Of Music in Boston. Shortly after a stint in
Massachussetts, Vlad arrives to New York to discover
the urban jungle.

In 2004 a US debut album "Vladosphere" was released by
Orpheus Music. Album received a universal praise from
critics, fans and radios. Its instrumental single
"Little Star" had quickly become a radio hit-single
among industry heavy-weights such as John Meyer,
Maroon5 and others.

Keeping the integrity to the art of music and inspired
by personal events Vlad is releasing a second US album
"Sun In Capricorn". The entire album is recorded on
acoustic guitar and the songs are telling a personal
story. "This is the most honest music I ever made" -
says Vlad about "Sun In Capricorn". Indeed each song
has an undeniable effect on a listener of any age,
simply because it is the music of a human heart
expressed on intimate sound of acoustic guitar. This
is the album of maturity and joy...
