I am minimalist and I love exploring new ways of living simple and happy life. Currently living in my hometown Astana, KZ. I studied law and worked in international school in Music Department. I play violin a bit and am very curious about different styles of music. Especially folk and ethnic genres. Also very keen to learn new instruments! Currently I work in Italian Embassy in Kazakhstan.
