Alexander Kuzmin - A SECRET WISH

Alexander Kuzmin -][- A SECRET WISH – [Alex Studio, 2011]

My name is Alexander Kuzmin. I’m a composer-arranger. I was born on the 6th of August, 1977 in Sevastopol, Ukraine in the family of jazz musicians. Since childhood I started going in for music. I finished music school where I took piano lessons.

Later I was absorbed in playing a bass guitar and saxophone. I entered jazz college in Kiev where I took sax and bass guitar lessons. I participated in various music competitions and jazz festivals, worked in different funk-groups and big bands as a session musician. I also took part in working over projects of soloists as a composer and arranger. At the moment I’m involved in working over my solo project, composing music and made-to-order arranging. –SoundClick.com | BIOGRAPHY
