Biography

Svoy is a New York-based one-man band: music, lyrics, performance, production, recording, mixing, mastering, art direction, graphic design, video production.

Born in the Russian Far East, Svoy took classical and jazz piano lessons as a child. As a teenager, he moved to Moscow to experience life and music in a big city, and ended up studying with some of the top jazz professionals in the country (including pianist Igor Bril and, the late, great composer Yury Saulsky). While in Western Russia, Svoy also won the 3rd Grand Prize at Jazz Improvizacija Solo Piano Competition in Vilnius, Lithuania, received an Exclusive Prize from the Russian National Academy of Composers, earned a Professional Diploma with Honors in Jazz/Classical Piano Performance/Sound Engineering from the GMUEDI Moscow State Music College, and a Degree in Jazz/Classical Piano Performance/Music Education from the elite Russian Academy of Music named after Gnessins. Both schools were attended on a full scholarship provided by the state.

In 2000, Svoy got a full scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he earned a Degree in Professional Music. While in Boston, Svoy explored songwriting and production. In 2002, he won the BMI Pete Carpenter Fellowship and spent six weeks studying with Grammy and Emmy-winning TV composer Mike Post (writer of such TV themes as Law & Order, NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, among others) and Atli Örvarsson (composer for The Fourth Kind, Thick as Thieves, Babylon A.D., Vantage Point, Season of the Witch) at Post's studio in Los Angeles. In 2004, Svoy won BMI John Lennon Award for songwriters (3rd Prize) in New York. The judges included legendary Grammy-winning record producer Russ Titelman (George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, James Taylor) and hit Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn. Thousands of applicants participated in the competition that year. In June 2004 Svoy received the award from BMI and Yoko Ono, personally.

While still at Berklee, Svoy began working on a number of songs that he planned to eventually have as a demo. Influenced by many different styles of music, including electronica, rhythm & blues, rock, he experimented using a portion of each, when writing and producing at his home studio.
