Eugene has been a professional guitarist, studio and recording artist, record engineer, composer, song arranger, music producer and a guitar teacher for over twenty years. Over his varied career he worked in the theater, as well as appeared in numerous TV and radio programs. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Eugene began as a classically trained violinist, graduating from one of the most selective and competitive music schools for exceptionally gifted children. At around twelve years of age he developed a strong passion for guitar, and he applied his strong knowledge of music theory, as well as his perfect pitch and excellent technique, to quickly pick up the instrument. Eugene's extensive childhood concert experience helped him to consistently win the first prize in all city competitions, held for young electric guitarists, by the age of sixteen. He played in various rock bands, toured Russia and much of Europe with the band that he started when he was seventeen, and produced his own records. He quickly became a highly respected musician for his versatility, advanced technique, rich tones, and accurate and precise performance. Despite his busy schedule, he learned the crafts of luthier and guitar repair; he customized his own guitars, as well as many others. In 1992, Eugene followed his family and settled in Tel-Aviv, Israel. He continued playing in bands, ranging from metal to classical rock music, and once again he developed another aspect of his musical career. He became a successful producer, record engineer, arranger and studio guitarist; he produced many albums for artists with a variety of different styles, and he nurtured the careers of emerging singers and wrote songs for them. He played in commercials and in TV shows, and for the past ten years he has been a guitarist at the renowned drama theater Gesher in Tel-Aviv. Eugene traveled to many countries in Europe and Japan with various musical projects. As a seasoned musician with a deep knowledge of guitars and guitar equipment, he has been a consultant to a musical instruments distribution company for fifteen years. As a dedicated guitar teacher, Eugene developed his own unique method for improving finger velocity and hand synchronization, which will be published in the near future. Some of his students have been accepted into Israel's Music Academy, Berklee College of Music in Boston, and the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles; others have become professional electrical guitarists who play in symphony orchestras and major US, German, and Israeli bands.
