I had a rock band in high school in 🇧🇬 when I learned to program, then another rock band in 🇺🇦 as engineering student, later I’ve done all sorts of musical things - from a music store owner to radio DJ & dance club DJ but nowadays I’m grateful to be able to pay 🇺🇸 bills with data

The overlap is incredible. Any particular rock bands in the Ukraine you have to share I would love to know more. I've heard mostly pop rock but World Rock and World Fusion is very interesting to me. Bands like The Hu, Heilung, meeting of metal and ancient techniques. Cool stuff.

WOW. I am actually leaving my career as a developer to pursue music, in addition to deeply delving back into drawing and painting. I have finally answered the call of the electric guitar, and am highly enjoying it. I'm aligned with a good number of pro musicians as well.

Seriously? How cool. And electric guitar no less? What factors do you think prompted this decision at this point in your life and career? I'm sure this is something you hear but indulge my OCD as I I must simply say it: Play Misty For Me? I apologize but I had to get it out LOL.

And you with the 7 string. Such a curiosity to me, as is 9 string as they came about later in my life. I knew from 6 and 12, alt tunings, and no gearhead interest which appears to be gender related. I just didn't relate it wasn't that anybody stopped me from going down that road.

Yes, I am as well!

Hi Jai! What's your instrument or instruments and what kind of music do you like to play?
