Beyond  YouTube,  Yuri  collaborates  with  the  award-winning  video  game  developer  Wargaming,  lending  his  guitar  skills  to  popular  games  such  as  “World  of  Tanks”  and  “Warhammer  40000.”  He  is  also  a  seasoned  session  guitarist  with  extensive  touring  experience  across  the  CIS,  performing  at  major  festivals  with  audiences  of  up  to  200,000.

Raised  in  the  Soviet  slums  during  the  Iron  Curtain  era,  Yuri’s  early  musical  exposure  was  limited  to  local  pop  and  chanson.  However,  his  tastes  evolved  with  the  influence  of  bands  like  Aria,  Korol  i  Shut,  Dream  Theater,  and  Metallica,  alongside  a  deep  appreciation  for  classical  music.
