My Take
Dmytro Shurov is the kind of musician I am drawn to. A pianist, composer and singer-songwriter based in Kyiv, he also judged the Ukrainian X-Factor and music-produced his country's Eurovision selections for 2023 and 2024. Eastern European musicians often pair real technical grounding with a distinctive emotional weight, and that combination pulls me in. Anchoring himself on piano while also singing and shaping a nation's biggest song contest entries shows a wide range. Continuing to make and steward music while his country endures such a brutal period earns my quiet respect, not just my interest.
