NEW RELEASE
"Hero's Journey"
A musical audio play in Russian.
A story about self-discovery, love, exile and the freedom to be yourself.
I moved to France on a talent visa to create my own theatre in Savoie.
Hi! My name is Alan
I’m a transmasc singer-songwriter who writes indie folk rock and musical theatre songs. I’m also a fantasy author, theatre director, and visual artist who loves drawing cats.
I collect legends, compose ballads, and capture the beauty of the world through photography.
Music
Before my transition, I released 9 studio albums, 3 live albums, and 3 singles.
Then I had to take a break from my music career while my voice was changing.
Since then, I’ve released 1 album and 4 singles with my new voice.
These songs are in Russian — but this year, I plan to start recording an album in French.
Theatre
I directed 7 original musicals with the theatre company Wolves of Mibu in Moscow.
Now I'm preparing two productions in France:
- A solo show: "The Hero’s Journey" — a story about the life of an LGBT person during repression and war.
- A musical based on the Savoyard legend "The Lady of Lake Annecy."
I write about my new theatre projects on my telegram channel (rus)
You can also find the archive of my old theatre projects in the Wolves of Mibu VK-group (rus)

Arts & postcards
I draw postcards with cats and also enjoy bullet journaling.
You can find my drawings, postcards, and photos on my Instagram (eng, fr) and my Telegram channel (rus).
Books
I’ve published 16 fantasy novels.
Five became bestsellers, and one was a finalist for the “Book of the Year” award.
I write in Russian, but I hope to publish translations in English and French in the future.

My books with LGBT characters
Dragon Rainbow
In the kingdom of Farvale, King Frederick befriends a dragon — which doesn’t sit well with Princess Angelica of a neighboring state, where dragons are hated and believed to bring ruin. Angelica clings to an ancient prophecy claiming the world will end if a human and a dragon ever fall in love.
Roads of Rain
A poor English gentleman, desperate for an inheritance, finds himself in the Land of Fairies — along with his worst enemy. Together, they must travel the Roads of Rain, uncover the truth about a knight in love with his king, expose a conspiracy, and find a way back to the mortal world.
