Юрий Усачёв

Yuriy Usachyov is a Russian composer, DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He was involved in the Saint Petersburg electronic (namely, jungle) music scene since the early 90s, founding the group Гости Из Будущего alongside [a=Евгений Арсентьев] in the mid-90s. Around this time, he also co-founded and was involved in groups like Чугунный Скороход and [a=Актив-Позитив]. Ева Польна joined Gosti Iz Budushchego at some point, and she and Usachyov were involved with Русский Размер around 1997/1998. Gosti Iz Budushchego soon pivoted to pop dance music around 1998/1999, minus Arsyent'yev. The project would go on to create music in a variety of styles and eventually dissolve a decade later, in 2009. Usachyov and Тина Кузнецова founded [a=Zventa Sventana] in 2005. The group is based around creating modern interpretations of archived Russian folk songs. The project was frozen in 2012 but revived in 2017. Born: April 19, 1974 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Russia. Usachyov and Kuznyetsova met in 2004 or 2005, married in 2009, and welcomed a son in 2010. Usachyov also has an older daughter.
