Summary

I have worked as a musician abroad, performing on cruise ships and in hotels across different countries, including China, Italy, and the UAE. It was an incredible experience to live in these countries while pursuing my musical career. I've always had a deep passion for music and consider myself a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for singing as well. Being able to share my musical talents with audiences from diverse cultures around the world has been truly fulfilling.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought significant challenges to the entertainment industry, and unfortunately, I lost my job as a musician during this time. I did manage to secure one contract during the pandemic, which provided me with a temporary opportunity to perform. However, due to the war in Ukraine, I had to pause my musical career once again.

During the periods of unemployment, I engaged in various activities to stay productive and continue honing my musical skills. I dedicated time to composing original music and maintained an active online presence. These activities not only allowed me to further develop as a musician but also helped me stay connected to the music industry during challenging times.

Also, I relied on my savings that I had accumulated during my employed periods as a musician. This financial cushion provided some stability during those challenging times. Additionally, I practiced careful budgeting and financial planning to navigate the financial challenges that came with the temporary interruptions in my musical career.

With my bachelor's degree in IT (computer engineering), I decided to make current focus on my work as a system administrator, but remain deep connection to my passion for music. The experiences and skills I gained during my time as a musician continue to shape my artistic perspective and drive my creativity.

The combination of my background as a musician and my technical knowledge as a system administrator allows me to approach my work with a unique perspective and a strong appreciation for creativity and innovation.
