Coming through a rigid childhood music education that saw him lose interest in music by his teens, Pavel was introduced to the guitar by a friend and found his place on stage playing Red Hot Chili Peppers songs. After studying linguistics and education and then completing a year of compulsory service in the Belarusian army, it was until a friend introduced him to Fruity Loops (now FL Studio) on a computer that Pavel truly found his passion for music.
