It all started in 1984-1985 in the former Soviet Union when I, a toddler back then, learned how to put on Alphaville and Depeche Mode tapes into an imported AIWA boombox. Now, after 40, I’ve decided it’s now or never. Under my stage name—Schkolar—I’m working on my first EP: five tracks for streaming, plus a a bonus track for the vinyl edition.
