Evgeny Grinko

Evgeny Grinko discovered music at a young age through films. After being active in the post-punk scene as a guitarist and drummer, he reached a turning point when he discovered the piano and taught himself to play the instrument. Less than three years later, in 2010, he broke through in contemporary classical music with his viral composition ‘Valse’. Since then, Evgeny has released five albums and six EPs, focusing on emotions such as humour, sadness and longing. His music resonates worldwide: he has over 450 million streams on Spotify and 240 million views on YouTube. In 2022, he left Russia after opposing the invasion of Ukraine and eventually settled in Berlin. Despite the challenges, he continues to compose at a rapid pace.
