I was born in Lithuania and started my musical career there. In high school, I was a part of the band and recorded a few songs with a well-known music producer Eligijus Zilinskas. Also, I was actively performing as a soloist in various events, and the most notable of them were the Duke of Edinburgh Award ceremony and an exhibition - "Sveikinimai iš XX amžiaus" by one of the most famous Lithuanian photographer Antanas Sutkus. At the same time, I performed with the jazz orchestra "Romuva" all across the country and in international events such as "Big Band Festival Šiauliai".
In 2020 I participated in the project "Šiauliai Gyvai", which aim was to help young musicians to develop their musical careers. Creating a professional, good-quality video of our song enriched me with a fabulous music business experience. In 2021, the same project organized a festival, where I had a workshop with a famous musician Saulius Urbonavicius-Samas about opportunities in the music industry. Moreover, I was a soloist in the woodwind orchestra of Šiauliai and performed classical and jazz arrangements. The events included festivals such as "Saules Vasaros Koncertai", "Bažnyciu naktys" and concerts on national independence occasions.
I decided to broaden my horizons and started a Music Performance course at the University of Huddersfield in 2021. I had valuable performance experience in the UoH Big Band, Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Saxophone Ensemble and Film Music Orchestra. The highlight of my studies were recitals with Jonathan Fisher and a workshop with Kevin Gowland. As a part of my studies, I had an opportunity to join The Band of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment to perform a gig.
I hope I would be a good fit for your events, as during my studies, I have been actively performing all across England in various restaurants, weddings, parties and private events. I am happy to discuss an opportunity to play the requested songs or provide any musical services to suit your needs.
