A steadily growing voice that saturates the listener in lucid colour and shimmering melodies. Born in Pinsk, Belarus in 1984 before immigrating to Canada in 1992 with the collapse of the USSR; Alexei Orechin has been actively shaping the Toronto music scene as composer and guitarist for over ten years.
Orechin’s new single, “Stranitsi,” is a portal for momentary escape. A chance to listen inside oneself and experience what’s there.
