Before letting himself to honestly answer his own emergency call for music and songwriting, Ilya has been intensively occupied by the idea of fair economic competition, independent entrepreneurship and good governance practices.  

Later, in order to get a grasp of music language itself, he has been studied in various educational institutions on a short term basis, among which are Pulse College (Ireland) and Conservatory of Rachmaninov (Russia), while being a stronger believer that some basement ability to appreciate music is achieved through inner and self studies alone. 

He also believes that those who he has ever met might be regarded as his influencers and his music is the genre itself, through which he shares his vision and asks others to make it by doing his or her own thing. 

Ilya has summed up some of his intercultural and business communication outcomes in “Mini encyclopedia of creative communicator - The Negotiator” (in Russian). His ability to compose short original compositions for classical orchestra has also yielded him a membership at International society of composers “21 century“.  

Currently, Ilya is based in Sofia and works on building Kolobog.com® ICT platform, dedicated to gig-economy actors, primarily within EU.
