Igor Presnyakov first studied classical music at an academy and would eventually graduate as both a guitarist and a conductor for ensembles. His unique acoustic guitar-style is influenced by various musical genres from Reggae, Rock and Roll, R&B, Country-Western, Jazz and Heavy Metal. Igor also rarely sings lyrics to any song he covers, and instead skillfully translates them into a guitar melody, preferring to have his instrument sing the words. Talk about #goals.
