I was born in Russia, in the city of Leningrad. After finishing school, I entered the St. Petersburg Architectural and Construction College. I then continued my studies at the Higher Central Officer Courses of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation, graduating with honors and receiving my first military rank — junior lieutenant.
I served in the Far East, in the Amur region. I took part in assignments to the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), the Trans-Siberian Railway, and Transbaikalia. Later, I returned to St. Petersburg, where I currently reside. After my military service, I worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then in commercial security companies.
From an early age, I was drawn to poetry and began writing poems. Among my most well-known works are "My Motherland Great Russia", "Eve's Birthday", "The Rock", "Life's Purpose", "St. Petersburg", and many others.
My roots trace back to the Vologda region: my father is from Vozhega, and my mother was born in Furmanov, Ivanovo region. My parents met in Leningrad while studying, got married, and soon received a separate apartment. My father worked for a construction organization, and my mother worked in a pirozhki cafeteria.
The upbringing in our family was strict but fair: I could be punished for misbehavior, but my interests were always taken into account. My parents supported my participation in various clubs — chess, sambo, and karting. I actively played football, hockey, basketball, and rode a bicycle. My father instilled in me a love for hiking, fishing, and mushroom picking; my mother — for reading. Thanks to her, I developed a love for books, especially those about the Great Patriotic War and the heroic deeds of Soviet soldiers, which shaped my worldview, sense of duty, and patriotism.
At 19, I left my parents' home to join the army and have not lived there since. Unfortunately, my parents are no longer with us.
Fishing holds a special place in my heart. In summer, I enjoy trips on a motorboat in the Gulf of Finland; in winter, I go there to fish for smelt right through the ice.
Besides fishing, I am passionate about gardening and farming — I have several greenhouses at my dacha in the Leningrad region where I grow various vegetables and plants. I also actively follow the news and take an interest in geopolitical events, scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and the development of various services and applications of artificial intelligence.
Upon crossing the fifty-year mark in 2024, I reflected on my life and realized how many dear people have already passed away. This became the impetus to leave my mark on history: in 2025 I founded the
Malanhit project .
Why and Where Did the Name name
Malanhit Come From?
The name Malanhit carries multiple meanings, each reflecting my creative individuality and philosophy. Firstly, it is an acronym formed from the initial letters of my surname and first name: «Mal»(yshev) and «An»(drey), combined with the word «Hit», symbolizing the popularity of creative work. Thus, Malanhit is born.
Secondly, the word Malanhit echoes «malachite» — a semi-precious green stone with a unique pattern. Malachite symbolizes magical properties, harmony with nature, and protection from negative energies. This symbolism perfectly reflects my creative nature, my aspiration to create something unique and enduring. In my work, I blend deep lyrical motifs, melodic compositions, and sincere lyrics that resonate with listeners’ hearts.
Finally, the third meaning is practical: the need for a unique name in the world of art. This helps me stand out among other performers and ensures memorability.
I cannot boast of formal musical education. But, like many in my youth, I became fascinated with playing the guitar. I performed songs by Viktor Tsoi (KINO) — «You Again Didn't Come Today» and others. We would gather with friends in the yard or by a campfire at the lake, playing and singing. I never studied notes; I simply memorized chords by watching others and learned to play barre chords.
Can Music Be Created Without Musical Education?
That’s a great question! I believe this very doubt holds many people back from starting their creative journey.
But a creative person is, in essence, a maker of miracles, capable of discoveries in any field. I am convinced of this. Here are a few examples of famous composers and musicians who had no formal musical education but became world-renowned: Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain (a self-taught Nirvana frontman), Jimi Hendrix (who created revolutionary riffs despite not knowing musical notation), and Paul McCartney of The Beatles, who still cannot read sheet music.
The most important thing is not to be afraid to start, because even from a rough form, something beautiful can emerge.
When a person is purposeful and moves forward, overcoming obstacles, their path leads to the top.
Talent is born in struggle, honed and polished by resistance to reality — just as a diamond is shaped into brilliance through cutting.
Modern technologies, including software and artificial intelligence (AI), open up incredible opportunities for creating original musical works. How unique they are is a debatable topic for a separate article, but experts agree that neural networks can generate truly original compositions.
Possessing the talent of a songwriter-poet, I have become a musical AI producer, using AI-based tools to compose original melodies.
Today, I create singles based on my own poems, entrusting the performance to a musical AI artist — a virtual performer developed with artificial intelligence technologies. Some may notice that the number of neuro-music creators is growing rapidly. However, I am convinced that true talent, like a diamond, stands out even in the dirt. In every song I create, I invest positive energy, love, and soul, striving to make them melodic, expressive, and emotionally rich.
About the Creative Community Malanhit" in VK
At the end of 2024, I founded the "
Malanhit"
community on the social network VKontakte (VK). This is a platform for those who love discovering new songs and young performers who may become future stars.
Here, you can listen to music novelties, share your impressions, leave comments, and add your favorite tracks to personal playlists. The community is building a collection of the best songs and creating unique compilations accessible to every member.
The fundamental principle for selecting material is very simple: only compositions that are charged with positivity, provide drive and inspiration, and evoke bright feelings such as empathy, love, faith, and hope are chosen.
Why This Approach?
My life experience, connected with defending the Fatherland, ensuring security, and maintaining law and order, has given me a clear understanding of the harmful influence of dark forces—dirt, lies, hypocrisy, and betrayal. Over the years of my service, I became convinced that every negative word carries destructive energy capable of affecting consciousness and mood. On the contrary, the use of bright language, positive imagery, ideas, and music promotes creation, improves well-being, and prolongs life.
What Inspires Me to Create?
I am inspired by the desire to make the world better, brighter, and kinder. With age, life experience accumulates, worldview changes, and I strive to embody my wish to share it through creativity. Often, thoughts take shape in poetic form; even as a child, I found rhymes to easily memorize new words. This hobby grew into writing poetry, some of which has been published online, for example, on the portal
Stihi.ru .
The poetic form of conveying information seems to me the most precise and expressive; it allows for the transmission of unique meanings and emotions.
The synergy of music and poetry creates a special form—a song—that acquires new qualities: emotions, mood, and energy. Songs are capable of conveying information more vividly and deeply, enhancing its impact on the listener.
I am especially strongly inspired by nature, the water element, love for family and loved ones, respect for the Motherland and its heroic past. The magnificence of the world and the strength of spirit of our ancestors—all of this is reflected in my creativity.
Why I Create Neuro-Music
Let me start with this idea: «Beware of your thoughts, for they have a way of coming true». Our desires really do become reality over time. Calculators replaced the abacus, mobile phones pushed out landlines, and wires gave way to Wi-Fi and GSM. What we dreamed of yesterday becomes commonplace tomorrow.
In my youth, I tried to understand music theory, but I realized it’s hard to do on my own. I dreamed of writing songs to my own poems. And I believed that one day technology would allow everyone to create music. And now the dream has come true!
Neuro-music is the future that has already arrived, and I choose it.
Let me explain briefly:
Live performance: Only a few people can perform music at a high level, and I’m not among them. But artificial intelligence technologies open up huge opportunities for anyone who wants to create.
Copyright and plagiarism: Critics of neuro-music often accuse it of plagiarism. But that’s only one side of the coin. Traditional music is also full of borrowing and plagiarism. Try to create something truly unique when there are only seven notes in music! This topic deserves a separate article. The main thing is that even experts admit: neural networks are capable of generating unique works.
Progress is inevitable; denying the benefits of neuro-technologies in music is unreasonable. There will always be conservatives who prefer straight razors and abacuses. But the majority moves forward.
Discontent with neuro-music comes from traditional players in the music industry who are losing income. Neuro-music is becoming more and more popular, bypassing outdated platforms that are waging a silent war against new technologies.
Official charts rarely include neuro-musical tracks. Many listeners discover interesting works through friends’ recommendations or communities. People are beginning to distinguish neuro-music and enjoy listening to it. The popularity of neuro-music is growing every day.
Music platforms of the future: I foresee the emergence of an international music social network with unified standards and rules for all tracks. This will allow for objective evaluation and ranking of music, making the platform popular.
User evaluation and ranking of music, with users selected at random, will take the music social network to a fundamentally new level and make it in demand.
Unfortunately, leading music services in different countries remind me of ships with clumsy structures, where teams act in isolation from each other. They risk missing the moment when neuro-music becomes the dominant force and face insurmountable obstacles, like the famous «Titanic»s of history.
What Ideas, What Outlook on Life Do I Want to Convey Through My Art?
The main thought I strive to convey is the importance of returning our attention to bright and eternal values: love, empathy, kindness, and harmony. These qualities emit positive vibrations that affect our lives, our environment, and the future of generations. Modern society is mired in negativity, where aggression and hatred have become habitual, and murder—commonplace. The value system has shifted toward darkness, destruction, and death.
However, I am not an advocate of softness. Goodness must be strong, possessing resilience, courage, honor, and dignity. Those who defend love and goodness possess these qualities. Fools mistake these qualities for weakness, not understanding that the time for tolerance is given to them as a chance to realize their mistakes, repent, and change.
