How did you get discovered?
People kept telling me I should try, so one day I decided to give it a shot and be a model!
What were you doing prior to modeling?
I was working as a waiter in restaurant and chilling out in Vancouver beaches! I had some odd jobs along the way, working at McDonald's & working at a butcher shop.
People would be surprised to know that I...
am a metal head! Huge metal/rock and roll fan. I go to as many metal concerts as possible in Vancouver!
What's your latest obsession?
Modeling. Visiting new places, making new friends and getting deeper into this so-call fashion world!
Your most prize possession?
My photos of my family. I haven't been home in Kharkov in a while, so photos of my family are important to me!
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
My mother. I admire and love her as a mother and as a person. She is great! She is the one that I will appreciate the rest of my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without her!
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
An hour ago, to my girlfriend!
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Confident, Competitive and Honest
Describe your personal style:
I am still learning and developing my own style. I am not the type of guy who try too hard to look perfect all the time. I love what I have seen in fashion so far so I hope I get to create my distinctive look through working in the industry. If you want me to sum it up so far: I like simple, free, skateboarding outfits with an rock and roll edge.
Your favorite place you have travel to:
Vancouver! I love living there!
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Whiplash—Scene: What actor Miles Teller have to go through to be a great jazz drummer is pretty incredible!
Your favorite sport:
Sport: Soccer
Team: Manchester United
Player: Eric Cantona
If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Vancouver, Canada—We will go to English Bay!
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
I would do the best rock show on TV! Featuring the newest talented band, first I will have conversations with the bands I feature (how they got started playing music and all that great music info) and then they will play their music as the finale of the show! Theme song would be tracks from the bands I would feature.
Your wish for 2015?
No more WARS!
