Has a twin brother named Vjatseslav. In 1994, Stas (Stanislav) and Slava (Vjatseslav) were selected for the prestigious Kantilena male choir, where they studied vocal skills and toured European cities. The brothers also played football since childhood - Slava was a goalkeeper; Stas was a midfielder. They both played in different leagues of the country, and at most reached the Third Division of the Estonian Championship. In 2005, at the age of 18, Stas and Slava founded their first rock band, Rockcrime. Stas was on bass guitar, Slava was on lead guitar. In 2006, by luck, the brothers took part in the Eurovision 2006 qualifying competition from Estonia and took 3rd place. In 2009, Stas and Slava left Rockcrime and founded their second band, Cantilena. The band performs mainly in Estonia. Sometimes it was possible to travel abroad to neighboring countries: Russia, Finland, Lithuania, and Latvia. The most outstanding achievements were joint performances with such rock monsters as Sepultura (2012) and Phil Anselmo (Pantera) & The Illegals (2014). By the way, if this can be considered an achievement, Cantilena once performed in the same city in the evening with Metallica and the guys even had an audience! Between 2009 and 2020, Cantilena gave 84 concerts, released an EP album "Metallinn" (2010), recorded a full-length album "Violent Peace" (2012), and shot 4 videos for their songs.
