Born 1989 to a family where there was a lot of singing and poems dedicated to each family member on every festive occasion. Most of the first twelve years of my life I spent in Saint Petersburg, a city, which according to Joseph Brodsky is a harbor not only in the narrow sense of the word: “There is no other place in Russia where thoughts depart so willingly from reality”.
It is also in Saint Petersburg that I visited a children’s arts school before 2002 I moved to Austria.
