About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

SINGER/SONGWRITER/ARRANGER/PRODUCER/MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST. Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Vadim moved to Canada at the age of 8. Music has become a huge part of his life ever since. Vadim's latest solo album is entitled "Let The Animals Do The Talking". The entire recording was done at his home, and at BubbleGum Sound Studios in Seoul, Korea. "The primary aim was to come up with something that's unique & fresh. Something a bit out of the ordinary. I believe I have done. I'm very proud of this record." Having been living in Asia for the past 5 years, Vadim's experiences have really opened his eyes to things he has never written about before. Drawing from all sorts of influences, his sound is certainly unique. Discribing 'Vadim's sound' to someone who's never heard it isn't easy. "Blending and fusing styles unconventionally is what really gets me excited. I don't attach much significance to labels or how its gonna get classified. I believe the future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty", says Vadim. Vadim at Bubble Gum Studio (Seoul,Korea) laying down a vocal track.

My Interests

I was born in Kiev Ukraine. Back then, it was all the same.Me at age 7 in Italy.Pictures from the TV show 'Surprise', filmed in Korea.As some of my friends already know...I can be pretty dorky at times!Soju is a cheaper equivalent to vodka. Distilled from rice, it might look friendly and harmless, but watch out! This is one drink you don't want to get too friendly with!

I'd like to meet:

New MySpace friends from all over the world.....but no SPAMMERS please! I don't need a new ring tones, I don't want a penis enlarger & I already have a Gucci and Coach purse and I don't feel like promoting Macy's is the best way to further my career. So kindly fuck off, get a life, and quit spamming us!!!!!


Photos from my Album Launch "Let The Animals Do The Talking" at Club DGBD (Seoul)were taken by Julian Kong, Peter Lest, and Vanessa Mausser.Some days I feel like I'm not from this world.Photo taken by Peter Carney for ROKON Magazine at my pad in Seoul.If you have not visited Hong Kong, I suggest you do !~Brodie Read - surely one of the wickedist guitarists on the planet!That's one mean solo man! You gotta teach me how to do that!Julian Kong is one of the coolest cats around, and is also the publisher of ROKON magazine. Most of the time, he's not as serious as this...:)My protege/ace English student Leo. He can sing, dance, play keys & bass, etc...he hopes to be an airplane pilot...destined for greatness!Meet Hyun Ho. Proud owner of Bubble Gum Sound Studio (Seoul, Korea), and surely one of the best studio engineer you will ever work with!Family Guy - Bill Clinton Does DDR
