Interpretation is such a driving force in the context of music and Oleg has taken this trait and ran with it. With his love for music and experimental attitude towards it, he has taken many classics such as, 'When You are Smiling' (written by Larry Shay, Mark Fisher, and Joe Goodwin) or 'Hello, Dolly!' (written by Jerry Herman) and rearranged them 100%. He even brought many of these pioneer artists into the studio with him! Here are some of his thoughts on it:

“Recording the album was definitely like a dream come true. This is my story. I interviewed all these people through the years and I couldn’t imagine that artist’s that I idolized since my childhood would record duets with me in the studio,” explained Oleg. “All of them were so respectful and supportive. It was a joy from the first session to the last. They also respected the fact that a foreigner like me promotes American music. These songs and artists are known worldwide and if we can appeal to different countries through this music, my mission would be complete,” he added.
