Allow me to introduce this week’s busker, seasoned violinist Ruslan Nebesov, whom I met on the northbound Bloor-Yonge platform. Ruslan himself is stoic and calm, but tutelage at a prestigious Ukrainian music school and decades of musical discipline have given his playing an obvious shine.

With that said, allow me to introduce this week’s busker, seasoned violinist Ruslan Nebesov, whom I met on the northbound Bloor-Yonge platform. Ruslan himself is stoic and calm, but tutelage at a prestigious Ukrainian music school and decades of musical discipline have given his playing an obvious shine.

First of all, tell me a bit about yourself. Who is Ruslan Nebesov?

I’m a musician. I started to play the violin when I was 6 years old at the School of Stolyarsky, a school in Odessa, Ukraine for gifted musicians. I especially like to play the piano and the violin.

What is your musical genre?

Mostly classical, but I can play jazz, traditional, some gypsy…everything, almost.

Ruslan also plays in a band called Jumple
