Curiosity, vivid imagination, passion for travel, and new experiences – are all things that define an open-minded musician. Such is the case with KeyReel, who has traveled and experienced foreign cultures, which has allowed him to broaden his knowledge and confidence in his own way. His experiences have inspired his music, which in turn shines through his performances and inspires audiences all over the globe. Coming from a generous and sunny Uzbekistan – that determined creative way of thinking and zest for life are the basis for a man of the arts.
Keyreel was interested in music from the age of two, playing vinyl records over and over. At the age of six, it was discovered that Keyreel had perfect pitch, and he entered the V.A.

At seventeen, he earned the highest score on entrance exams to Gnesin’s Russian Academy of Music and was accepted to study violin under Professor Kh. Akhtyamova.
