Describe your style in three words?

Golden & Silver & Sunshine.

The first track you played on repeat? And where did you play it?

The Rolling Stones - Doom And Gloom

I first heard this song at an acoustic performance by Miles Kane, and only then I found the original. What more can I say? The Rolling Stones are immortal!

A song from your favourite album? And what does this track mean to you?

Kasabian - Man of Simple Pleasures

I really like the words: "I'm not gonna be standing in the line, waiting for you just to kick me out". They would look great on the emblem of Leicester City FC, for example.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Royal Blood - How Did We Get So Dark?

In the last year, Mike and Ben came to Kyiv for a concert. It was one of the highest quality gig in my life. Super style, super sound, lots of tequila and pretty backing vocalists. I want more!

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

The holiday begins when someone turn on this song. I immediately want to jump into a cool car and go to a party. I'm crazy about the rhythm of this track. "So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you..."

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Liam Gallagher - Be Still

Liam has always been an style icon of for me - in music and in clothes. 'Be Still' it's is a song with a very positive message - never give up. My mama said: '"Keep moving, though you're down, you're gonna rise again..."

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Robbie Williams - Old Before I Die

This is a song from Robbie's debut solo album, released in 1997. Powerful guitars, loud drums and ringing tambourine. 'Old Before I Die' sounds like a mid-nineties Oasis stuff and I like it. I want to open the window and shout over the boombox.

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

Slaves - Sockets

"She made sugar taste like salt". This song with its energy completely conveys all my teenage indignation. Anger from unrequited love can turn a shy schoolboy into real punk. Great soundtrack if you want some anarchy in your city.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

Oasis - Rock 'n' Roll Star - Remastered

No options, only Oasis. This song helped me overcome a prolonged depression. Noel Gallagher is a brilliant songwriter - if you feel bad, there is nothing better than coping with the problems with the help of his music. R'n'R forever.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Johnny Marr - Easy Money

Probably, after these words I will be called a sinner, but I like the solo Johnny Marr more than in The Smiths. He always accurately describes my mood. Dance sadness - I think this is the best definition for Johnny's music. Very British.
