Atmoravi was born in the middle of 70s in Minsk, USSR. Was awaken to music by the family custom to sing and play. Studied chello for 5 years. Heavily influenced by The Beatles, Dire Straits and russian band Aquarium. Started to write songs at the age of 15 when got his first guitar. First 4-track recording was done in 96 in St.-Petersburg. in 1992 took sannyas from OSHO, an enlightened master and that was a begginning of a new life. In 1997 founded together with his brother Moksha a band called Arigato. The band recorded a bunch of songs and performed rather infrequently. Last recording was made in 2001. In 2002 Moksha left his body due to a tragic accident in Krym, Ukrain on the Black Sea. Since then atmoravi is a solo artist. In september 2004 the record called "WEED" or "chertopolox" was released in Minsk, Belarus.
It was well recieved by critics by the likes of ROLLING STONE, Moscow and FUZZ, St.-Petersburg with radio stations of Belarus picking up songs for the airplay. The following two years were spent in promoting the record by touring and making two "acoustic" records WHITE GOLD and ON THE LINE aside preparing the second studio record for it's WEST RECORDS of Minsk release.

Blog

blog 2 - recently I've been pretty busy with traveling and playing gigs in Belarus and Ukraine. this week I am going to be part of a literature presentation which means that me and my dear friend Pukst will be playing background music to writers reading their poetry and prose. on one hand I am a bit nervous about it on another hand I have enough experience in spontaneous music creation to be sure of myself... let's see.

On thursday I am going to open concert for BEZ BILETA in Grodno... Curious how many people show up!

hello music lovers! i just read an article in Wired Online and thought that Sellaband is a wonderful idea - why not give it a try... I used to write more songs in english before and some of them kind of pretty so sharing them with you seems logical. and there's always a hope to gain more confidence in connection with my english lyrics writing... what do you think of the tunes?
