He then completed his Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory in the class of Professor Sergei Dorensky[3], a People's Artist of Russia. From 2014 to 2017, he was a Scholar of the Academic Council of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
In 2017, he moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a career as a concert pianist.
In 2019, he graduated with Distinction from the Master of Music in Performance programme at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK, under the guidance of Professor Ashley Wass, supported by the Leverhulme Trust Arts Scholarship. From 2020 to 2021, he studied under Professor Kathryn Stott in the Postgraduate Diploma programme at the Royal Northern College of Music. At the same institution, he completed the prestigious "International Artist Diploma" course for the most gifted students[4], which provided him the opportunity to make a debut recording of César Franck’s Symphonic Variations with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. This recording took place in November 2021 at the BBC Philharmonic Studio in Dock10, MediaCityUK, Salford.

After this performance, he was offered to serve as an Ambassador for the Hastings International Piano Competition & Festival during 2021–2023[11].
