In 2009 Vadim came to England and pursued song-writing studies in Brighton Institute of Modern Music. He continued writing music and in 2012 his piano ballad "It's Gonna Be Alright" received a Honorable Mention in The International CD Baby Songwriting competition. He also played the piano on the recording accompanying the talented singer Chloe Paige. Steve Crow called it "a tune with a capital T" on his radio show later in 2013.
During his studies Vadim began writing top-lines for electronic music producers and later appeared as an executive producer on releases by Finnish singer HANNIS including her debut single "Time Has Come" which received a great attention over the internet in Apr, 2014. Over the years they have continued collaboration, their following releases were "Firebreak" (2015) and "In Another World" (2016).After graduating from BIMM, Vadim returned to his passion for playing piano, he joined a function band and shortly played as a keyboardist on the cruise ship for DFDS Seaways. After coming back from the cruise Vadim began busking on the streets of Brighton and in April 2015 was voted The Best Busker of Brighton by Argus newspaper.
Later on he invented an alter-ego Mellow Zebra and played piano on the streets of Brighton dressed up as a zebra. Since his first appearance back in July 2015 Mellow Zebra has been featured on Latest TV Brighton news, also on BuzzFeed as one of the most exceptional Brighton characters, been captured by BBC and featured on yearly "Brighton & Hove Calendar 2017" as a new contributor to the city's vibrant busking scene.
Currently Vadim is working on various music projects and remains active both as a keyboardist and song-writer / producer.
