HI! My name is Andrey Titayev,I am 28 years old. I play six strings since 15. I met DEAN when I begun to listen PANTERA band!!! So since that time I am a big fan of that such incredible group (esp.Diambeg) and such incredible instruments! Beside rock music, I love classic and blues. This autmn I’m going to prepare set with our local orchestra to play some classic stuff with them. But this set will be done only in our city. So I want to heartly thank DEAN for this contest and to thank all the people who rate my video!!!! Thank u!!!! So, my first album I recorded with my band named STEELS when I was 19.We made 8 tracks and I was the author of 7 of them. I was inspired by music of such bands like PANTERA and METALLICA. In 2000 me and my band became a winner in some Russian contests, took different music certificates in our local “band battles”, visited with concerts a lot of Russian cities. The main thing for me I suppose is to bring my feelings, emotions and minds to other people through my music. But unfortunately, in my country people don’t understand heavy metal music correctly and that’s why our album released only in our Chelyabinsk city But anyway I’m trying to develop my playing and I’m not going to stop!:) The fact that Dean guitars made such international contest made me happyJ(I saw info about contest at www.Mixart.ru, its Dean guitars dealer in Russia). I want to say that such events in music world are very important. With its help, guitar players who love heavy metal and Dean guitars can show their level of playing! Also this contest gives me a chance to demonstrate that there is people who love Dean in Russia. And it gives a chance to prove that music is the thing that doesn’t have skin color, nationality or politic.
