Participant: Maxim Vatutin (guitar, Ukraine)

I am 29 years old. I live in Kiev. Together with music I professionally do art pottery and also make ceramic music instruments (darbuka, oud).
I am an artist by education. I have got diplomas of art pottery and art metalwork.
I haven’t got musical education, I have been studied by myself since my 10. Except guitar I play bass guitar and sing.
The musicians who influenced my development as a musician and formation of my individual style are John Scofield and Robben Ford, and also Larry Carlton, Ritchie Blackmore and other blues guitarists.
To other musicians who made great influence to my musical development I can refer Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham and many others.
