I am a Ukrainian born British novelist, singer and songwriter. From an early age I got interested in music and spent few years in my teens in Italy, Germany and Spain studying and playing classical piano. However, with the Soviet Union collapse, I was forced to return back to Kiev and take all sorts of jobs, including cleaning and waitressing to help her parents, whose savings were wiped out in the crash. I had to put my artistic nature on hold for long ten years and pursue a ‘good career’ to never eat crumbs again. My language skills and wit helped me to obtain a masters degree in a major European school and later an internship at a top investment firm. I moved to London in 2005 and as life progressed got connected to various people tied to high finance, so the book’s characters and events are also influenced by the experience of others. My life in investment banking picked up like a tornado but it was only reinforcing my own insecurities and taking me further and further away from my true self. I started to play piano again when I realized such life was not for me - the true happiness lies within and cannot come from outside no matter how much luxury you surround yourself with. I decided to share my revelations in the Snow Job novel and the music album.
