Igor on SoundBetter

I'm a session keyboardist and producer from Kyiv working professionally for more than 12 years both live and in the studio with hundreds artist including top Ukrainian Pop stars (Max Barskih), viral indie-rock band Brunettes Shoot Blondes, famous jazz artists (Benny Benack lll, Pierre Boussaguet) and many others.

I graduated as jazz trained pianist and then expanded my background to Pop, R'nB and Neo Soul playing. I am very creative, versatile and always aim for modern and competitive sound. My goal is to connect with your vision and deliver what the song calls for.

Hire me if you need a tasty Jazz Piano sound, touching backing piano for your vocals, smooth R'n'B, Neo Soul & Lo Fi keys or lush synths for your Pop / Synthwave / Indie-Pop track. I can develop your musical idea from scratch, come up or re-harm you song with interesting chord progression, or add parts that your track is missing.
