When asked how he might describe his music, Ruslan throws a quizzical look. “That’s a tough one”. He settles on ‘jazz meets everything else’, with a laugh, and then adds, “my preferences gravitate towards a certain level of musical content rather than to a certain style or a particular vibe that I favor over any other. This leaves things pretty open for me both as a musician and as a fan”. A Grammy winner, Ruslan has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry: Chick Corea, Black Eyed Peas, Thundercat, Josh Groban, Marcus Miller, Seal, Stanley Clarke, Kanye West, Kamasi Washington and Los Angeles Philharmonic to name a few.
