Ukrainian born, singer, songwriter and artist Constantine shares an acoustic, piano ballad rendition of his moving tribute to his homeland, ‘Home’.
Now London based, he moved to London after Russia brutally attacked his home city of Kyiv on February 24th, 2022. Constantine focuses on his English repertoire now to which he fully composes music, sings and produces the final sound output as his role models and musical icons who he profoundly admires are Luther Vandross, The Isley Brothers, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, and Michael Jackson.
During the past year, Constantine has been giving charity concerts in Europe in many European capitals such as Berlin, Paris, Lisbon, Warsaw, Tallinn, and Riga. Why UK? 10 years ago, he performed at Newcastle Mela festival. The audience was deeply moved by his set, and he was astounded by the warm welcome. He would love to present himself and his music in the British capital – London. By this, he fulfils his long-standing dream as well as supports “Children of Heroes” (UA) foundation.
“As sorely missing my home city Kyiv, I recorded this acoustic version of my song where I immerse listeners into a mellow piano keeping space for my soul vocals and vocal improvisations ranging from baritone to alt. Here I wrote a harmony based on classical elements when melody softly ties into chords bridging tones of old-school soul sound and older school (alike Chopin) piano motions.
“Home” is dedicated to tender memories of our homeland. Only love for the motherland, for family and friends will help us get through all the difficulties and sorrows of wartime. The paths of life and destiny will become inextricable and thorny until we find the way to get home.”
