Igor was born in the USSR where he trained as an orchestral composer and conductor and then went on to build his career and reputation as a songwriter. Once established as one of the leading artists in his field, with his works performed by many of the Soviet Union’s most prominent artists and ensembles, he moved to the Middle East where he specialised in producing traditional and ethnic music from the region. This experience and knowledge of a wide variety of world music, as well as being an accomplished all rounder, has made him an invaluable composer for Audio Network.
Igor moved to the UK in 1998 and now focuses his time writing for Audio Network. His music features on a number of high-profile programmes for the BBC and ITV including Grandstand (BBC Television), Bremner, Bird and Fortune (Vera/C4), Golf International (Channel 2020/Sky Television), Animal 24/7 (BBC1/True North), The Beat: Life In The Streets (ITV/Twofour), 24 Hours With ... (ITV/Twofour) and adverts including Volvo C30, Dell Computers and the J2O commercials.
He is the only person able to work with the extremely odd composer Duncan Pittock. Igor’s daughter, Lina, also works for Audio Network in the Central London office.
