About Me


It's a long way from home, Minsk, Belarus but the long journey to America and timely pit stops along Europe proven to be a stronger character build for Ilya Kononchük. Life in Belarus and his incredible parents had already molded Ilya into a strong and focused individual with multiple talents. His father already a musician observed young Ilya scratching his Beetles records on turntables, singing, pulling guitar strings while trying to balance a then heavy guitar and made sure that his musical enthusiasm never went unnoticed. Ilya's parents quickly enrolled him into several music classes and watched their son develop a fast lyrical and rhythmical pronunciation. It was the beginning. Not only language but also culture and music of those foreign countries had impacted his innovative future to pursue the likes of music and design.
In the States he focused on technological studies such as metal fabrication, woodworking, graphic design and furniture design but never forgetting his passion for music. Electronics and records occupied his room while his diverse interest in musical sound filled the atmosphere.
Today his inexhaustible energy is caught in designing modern furniture, lighting and producing his own well-calibrated, immense sound.
His style ranges from throbbing tech house to celestial electronica that never fails to lure a fan.
