Alexander Pushnoy will join the festival "Air of Karelia"

It became known the name of another artist who will take the stage of the festival "Air of Karelia". The organizers were happy to announce that Alexander Pushnoy will appear for the first time at the festival (6+).

Alexander Pushnoy – a virtuoso musician, charming TV presenter, charismatic showman and owner of inimitable humor – is able to rethink familiar compositions beyond recognition. His performances are a real immersion in the world of music, where rock anthems and bold covers acquire a new, unexpected sound. Viewers are waiting for author’s works, explosive guitar riffs and a corporate share of hooliganism from the “musical Galileo” and his team “OTP Studio”.

Recall, Alexander Pushnoy is a well-known Russian artist, masterful of many instruments, singer, showman, as well as a popular TV and radio host. His path in art began with participation in the legendary KVN teams, such as “NSU”, “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” and “Siberian Siberians”. He won a special love of the public thanks to his vivid parologies and unusual interpretations of hits. Pushnoy also led a number of successful TV projects on the STS channel, including the cult scientific and educational program Galileo, where with the help of spectacular experiments he uncovered the secrets of physics and chemistry. Since 2017, he collaborates with Margarita Mitrofanova in the framework of the radio show “Physics and Lyrics” on the “Mayak”.

Alexander Pushnoy’s musical career began in 1993 with the band “Bear” (until 1996). After a period devoted to KVN and studies, in 1999 he returned to music with the project "BIS". Since 2010, the artist has been actively performing concerts, including with the group “Djanka Brothers”, participated in the festival “Invasion” (2012). Since 2017, he has been actively sharing his cover songs on YouTube, often on an eight-string guitar. In 2021, he released his album “Fur Covers”, which includes 16 tracks released by Navigator Records. In the same year, Pushnoy formed a new project - OTP Studio, with which he gave his first concert at the 16 tons club. In May 2025, his large-scale anniversary tour “50 revolutions around the Sun” took place. Among his pioneering works is the experimental album “Stuck in the SUNO” (2026), created with the involvement of neural networks, where Fushnoy emphasizes the role of AI as an assistant in routine, but not a substitute for the creator. His YouTube channel has about 2.2 million subscribers.
