01 · ORIGINS

Born in Sumy, northern Ukraine, into a family that kept moving · Maykop, Krasnodar, Moscow. By seventeen, starting over somewhere new was not frightening; it was what life looked like. What followed him through all of it was music: a father who plays guitar, a mother who put him into classical piano, years of recording early parts into an iPad before the songs had anywhere to go.

In 2015 he opened a search engine and typed "program to record music." FL Studio was the first result. That was the moment everything started pointing in one direction.

02 · FAR AWAY

He moved to London at seventeen, speaking no English, and sat in his room writing beats with no scene, no connections, and no plan beyond keep making music and see what it does. In 2018 he released his first single, Far Away, deep house, a soft thing, built alone.

Then bloggers started reposting it. Strangers in cities he had never been. The track travelled without him, and he understood that the thing made in a room could reach people he hadn't met yet. That was the moment he stopped being a kid who made beats and started being an artist.

03 · ALL IN

When war broke out in 2022, both sides of his family were hit at once. He took the last of what he had and bought a DJ controller. He set up a camera in his flat, three friends danced behind him, and he played a tech house set filmed on an iPhone. In the first week it reached 100,000 views. It now sits at over 200,000.

04 · THE HOUSE

The house parties started the same week. Five friends, then ten, then thirty crammed into the flat. Word spread the way it always does when something real is happening, sideways, through voice notes at 3 a.m. He named it on the last of those nights, just before everything moved to a proper venue: HOUSE OF MNEEMO. Because it started in his house, and home was the only geography he had ever really trusted.

Since then the series has moved through B London, Paloma Chelsea, Gallery Club, Cuckoo Club and Colours Hoxton. The principle hasn't changed: bring the right people into the same room and let the music do the work.

05 · NOW

The catalogue has passed through several corners of UK electronic music, drum & bass on DnB Allstars, afro house on major labels, and an atmospheric, percussive, UK-garage-adjacent direction where the low end does the thinking. Recent releases centre on Radar Records, with collaborators including emi, Goodscandal, Afro Queen, NIKITAIDISYUDA, Daniel Okaro, Flash and MJP.

Beyond club music: original scores and sound design for film · Drill It, County Lines Girl, LIMBO · credited under his given name on IMDb. In November 2025 he was selected for Anti Social Camp UK, the London edition of the world's largest songwriting camp: 200 artists from 10,000 applicants.
