KIRYL SHEVANDO
Drumming is my life. Starting at the age of 14 to play the first rhythms on my own, I got a music education in the Minsk Music College and from the age of 18 the percussion unit became my profession.
Over the years, I was fortunate enough to play with a lot of artists: the Belarusian group ULIS, the orchestra of M.Finberg, Alexey Shedko and the band Sister, J MORS, Marek Balata, Elena Mindru-Turunen, SVET Boogie Band, Transformer Jazz Trio, The RoadDogs. With the ensemble Grig Percussion Group I participated in recording a CD for Radio France in Paris. As part of the Presidential Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus, I had the privilege of performing with Maestro Michel Legrand, Demis Roussoss, Al Bano, Riccardo Folli, and others. In addition to the concert work, I taught at the Minsk Music College and was constantly interned abroad.
Currently, I am an endorser of the Swiss company PAISTE.
