Vika Yermolyeva (aka vkgoeswild),
Award-winning classical pianist, who decided to try something else.





"when she touches the piano, it comes to life" - Barry Harris,

"Just like a great actor takes a play to the next level, so a great musician can find greater depths in a song. She hears every gesture, every clever harmonic turn, every moment of drama and focuses on it, re-contextualizing it in such a way that it seems new again.

Like the fantastic classical musician she is, her covers make an excellent argument for the increasingly archaic role of the performer as just an interpreter of music, separate from the composer.

I can’t stop smiling when I listen to Vika’s covers. They are perhaps the most awesome way yet to show someone that you truly GET metal." -Alee Karim, "Invisible Oranges",

"Can a lady at the piano sound just as badass as Messrs Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice did back in 1972? Judge for yourself." - Nick Soveiko, The Highway Star (The Original Deep Purple Web Pages) blog. ,

"your version is the only cover version I have heard that I feel stands out in its own, you have captured not only the song, but the feeling and spirit within - truly incredible." - Graham Bailey from "The Sound"

Hello Viktoriya, I just want to say that I am a HUGE fan of your piano playing, I cannot describe how many times I've watched your videos and listened to all my favorite songs played by you on the piano. I've been playing piano since the age of 7 (I am 17 now) and to be quite honest you are the most amazing and most talented player I have ever see in my life, I would LOVE to see you perform live, you should try to perform in Lebanon, you have many fans over there. I really hope that one day I get the chance to meet you and see you perform live, and Thank you for everything

You're an awesome piano player! I've been playing piano for 10 years. I'd love to see you play more on a grand piano instead of the digital one though it's a really good digital keyboard. I'm not sure how you're able to put that much feeling into your songs, I always have trouble putting feeling into songs (especially etudes) but that's probably because I started out practicing on a hammerless keyboard and now (had, it just broke) a digital piano with hammer-action (non-graded). At least I've got a great teacher. On a sidenote I'm feeling really sad because I broke my digital piano playing Rachmaninoff (his songs can be so wicked and awesome) and the warranty just expired 2 days ago :(.

Hello! You made my life have sense again! Thanks to Your videos I have decided I'm going to learn playing piano. Since this moment I dream about play although one song with you in duet.

Your music is one of the reasons that I love the internet. Many times I have made a bad day good by listening. I really believe you "get metal" in a way that helps others that don't fully understand it, and that is an extremely rare quality. Please continue sharing what you do, because it helps make many people feel good. Please continue to add classical pieces of music too, because I think metalheads need to appreciate and be exposed to it just as much as we'd like classical people to understand metal.
