I am the lead organizer and CEO of Vanguard Music Championship (VMC), and an enthusiast of hip-hop culture. Having faced the challenges of the music industry myself, I realized that young talents often lack both musical and business education, a supportive environment, and a network of professionals, which often leads to disappointments and failures. To bridge the gap left by traditional labels, production centers, and social networks, I decided to dedicate my life to music and create an alternative platform. We launched the Vanguard Music Championship and online battles to give young artists a place to shine, gain fans, and acquire valuable experience. I have participated in numerous music events, often winning or placing in the top three. I have recorded over a hundred tracks for battles, musical projects, albums, and mixtapes.
Music is my passion, and I am dedicated to helping every artist get the opportunity to showcase their talent, opening doors to the professional world of music!
Music is my passion, and I am dedicated to helping every artist get the opportunity to showcase their talent, opening doors to the professional world of music!
I am a software engineer and co-founder of an IT company that specializes in integrating chatbots, messengers, and AI into business solutions. As a co-founder and chief technology officer of the Vanguard Music Championship project, I ensure the platform's development, stability, and security, while meeting our mission. Early in my career, I helped create a fintech startup in Florida that successfully went public. In 2012, I collaborated with Kirill and Dmitry to organize rap battles and launch the "MyRapGame" project. I have a keen interest in text and audio battles and have recorded several tracks and a mixtape.
Being part of this company allows me to combine my expertise in technology with my passion for music. I believe this innovative and user-friendly platform will break down barriers in the music industry, making it accessible for artists to showcase their music and increase engagement.

Dmitry was a talented rapper and one of the founders of the “MyRapGame" project, organizing rap battles like "Rap Olympics" and “Rap Everest” among others. He actively engaged with the community, creating original songs, supporting new artists, and hosting battles. Unfortunately, Dmitry tragically passed away during an urban exploration accident. He will be dearly missed. His contribution to the creation of Vanguard Music Championship is invaluable, and the platform is dedicated to his memory.
