Hello, I’m Ihor! As an experienced composer, I work with clients to create music that doesn’t just sound, but lives. My work has already helped many projects find their unique voice.
In Ihor Humerov's musical journey, certain artists have shaped his tastes and sparked his creativity. Public Enemy's politically charged lyrics and Wu-Tang Clan's raw authenticity have left an indelible mark on him. Coolio's storytelling prowess and The Offspring's punk-rock rebellion have resonated with Ihor personally. Eminem's intricate wordplay and emotional depth have been a constant source of admiration.
