Ukraine 🇺🇦 Solo punk artist; new song Rock and Roll Is Dead & Danko Jones 🇨🇦 is out now! I create #FELLAS collectible figurines! PayPal 👉deelavcb@gmail.com

Check out how our track Ivan Bohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) sounds! We drew inspiration from the best of global punk traditions but poured our own soul into it! How do you dig this mix? Let us know in the comments🙌

‼️#FELLAS! I need your help! Do you like my new single #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) and the way I blended punk rock with Ukrainian folk instruments? I just found a vintage 1970s Ukrainian folk instrument called Kobza (pryma) at a flea market…🔽

While I still have electricity, I quickly fired up Photoshop, put on some music by The Pogues, and I’m working on something new for you! And yes, Gordie Johnson from the legendary Canadian 🇨🇦 band Big Sugar will be part of it too…🔽

I was without electricity for 22 hours & 5 min 😆 The last time that happened was about three years ago! I’m writing this right now and the power is out again! I’m already seeing people in Kyiv 🇺🇦 buying battery-operated radios more & more often. Year 2026. Have you read the Trump news? Your thoughts?

#FELLAS! Night! So, I’ve been without power for over 13 hours, but using the very last bits of my EcoFlow, I managed to finish editing a video about a unique Ukrainian folk instrument - the Trembita, which you can hear in my new single #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸)🔽

‼️During these blackout days, creativity is 1 of the best ways to keep my spirits up! I decided to create 3D figurines of the main character from my new single, #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) & then hand-paint each 1 myself! Would anyone here be interested in owning 1?

So, a few words about the situation in #Kyiv. There’s even less electricity now. Blackouts and generators have once again taken over the city. Yesterday and today, there were major disruptions to the metro and public transport...🔽

Today I received these instruments from the Carpathians, made from local hornbeam wood! 🇺🇦🌲 This is the sopilka - an ancient Ukrainian folk wind instrument, and one of the main instruments featured in my new single #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian in America)!

Over the past 3 days, the power outages in Kyiv have become more and more frequent. Last night, I woke up again to the sound of russian drones flying overhead. I’m drinking my coffee in complete silence right now, trying to save mobile data.

The #IvanBohdan legend continues! 🇺🇦🎸🇺🇸 I’m excited to announce that on Oct. 30, my new EP, “The Legend of Ivan Bohdan” will be released! The EP will include 2 audio versions of Ivan’s legend - in English & Ukrainian, an alternate mix of the song by Gordie Johnson & a couple of other surprises…🔽

This song tells the story of an old Ukrainian 🇺🇦 legend about #IvanBohdan - a man who, according to the legend, crossed the Atlantic more than 400 years ago and became part of the story of early America. But I didn't want to simply retell the legend...🔽

Blackouts hit Kyiv today. No power, but I still managed to finish one of these #FELLAS paratroopers. Hand-painting 5 cm figurines is super challenging but so rewarding. If you want to get one - leave a comment! 🎨👊🇺🇦

Bild

And here’s the update I was talking about - something new is coming on October 30, and the world of #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) will be revealed to you even more! For now, it’s still a little secret! But in the meantime, I still need your help...🔽

Good morning from Kyiv, #FELLAS! I just want to ask you, if you have a chance, to play my new single #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) on Spotify or your streaming platform now & give it a listen! Every listen really helps me a lot! Thanks! LINK 🔽

🙌🇺🇦🎸I spent almost 2 years bringing this old Ukrainian legend to life and turning it into a song! I wanted to combine the energy of punk rock with the sound of traditional Ukrainian instruments: bandura, sopilka, drymba, kolisna lira & trembita! And that’s how my new sound, Uke Punk, was born!

This song is more than just a story about a man who supposedly crossed the Atlantic 400 years ago. It's my way of bringing an old Ukrainian legend back to life and introducing its story - and the sound of Ukraine - to a new audience around the world! #IvanBohdan - OUT NOW! 🎸🇺🇦🇺🇸

Mike Rivkees from the Celtic punk band The Rumjacks is already getting deep into the Ukrainian vibes from my new single #IvanBohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸) on his tin whistle! I’m already thinking about how I can get Mike a Ukrainian sopilka for this…🔽

Did you know there’s a Ukrainian legend about a young man from Kolomyia who crossed the Atlantic and became part of the story of early America? 🇺🇦🇺🇸 I turned this legend into a punk rock song - and called the style Uke Punk!🤘🔥 #IvanBohdan is out now on all streaming platforms!
