Do you know, what happens, when more than two creative mates gather at the
same time for a cup of cappuccino?
How come you don’t know? Relax, guys! Nobody knows. Mission is impossible. :)
We worked for international and little projects, studied and trained, created and
contemplated. And now it’s time to join hands.
So we are launching a new project - Opium Red Magazine.
We are bright and courageous, daring and creative, we want to fill this world with
new emotions. We tell you: the illusion of your imagination is our reality!

BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED
START
My friends Olya and Andrii Kolomiiets suggested me to try myself in this industry and actually opened my talent. I fall in
love with this profession from my first show. I used to travel a lot in past so it’s my cup of tea. And with help of Columbus
artist management we reached succes worldwide fast.
As for me both outlook and professionalism are important. You have to look stunning as real superstar and to show you
best in mixing. Otherwise you will never gain success internationally. And, of course, as in other professions, DJs have
to keep an arm on latest trends in music. In general, if you do your job well and love it, this will be the key to success.
