I recently caught up with the amazing keyboard virtuoso Vitalij Kuprij for an in-depth sit-down interview. Vitalij of course is known in the TSO world from touring with the East in 2009 and the West 2010 until now. He has quite an extensive resume outside of TSO, including nine solo albums and long-time work with prog-metal bands Artension and Ring of Fire.
Some of the subjects we covered:
- His musical background, including studying in Ukraine, Russia and Switzerland
- That one special album that turned him onto rock
- Balancing his Classical studies and work with the neo-classical rock side
- His audition with TSO
- Performing with Savatage at Wacken
- His co-written song for TSO, King Rurik
- Writing and recording his new solo release
