Vadim Novik

Billy Novick is a musician, founder of the legendary Billy's Band, author of music and lyrics for most of the band's songs. The Petersburg intellectual managed to combine in his stage image and creativity the eccentricity and swagger of American blues, the expression of African jazz and the freedom of the Russian North. Novik is compared to the legendary Tom Waits, but with a Russian soul.

The future jazzman and vocalist was born in the mid-1970s in the city on the Neva. A special page in the biography of Vadim Novik (this is the singer's real name) is his childhood in the Kupchino microdistrict under construction. Until the age of 6, Novik lived with his parents in a house on Belgradskaya. The two-room apartment was initially shared by two families: Vadim and his cousins ​​coexisted peacefully, but noisily.

Later in an interview, Billy Novik admitted that it was two brothers who inflamed his interest in music: they played music, and Vadim painted. The self-taught youngster has mastered several instruments, responding to skepticism and jokes about ears and bears.

Parents perceived their son's music-making as a youthful hobby, determining Vadim's future in medicine. Mom bothers about transferring the boy to a prestigious school, where there was a class with a medical bias. After receiving his diploma, Vadim Novik went to the medical institute for higher education: his parents insisted. I chose the Department of Pathological Anatomy of Children.

After graduating from the university, the young doctor worked as a pathologist for 3 years. The stability and predictability, Billy said, led to binge drinking and lingering depression. Despite the fact that his career developed - Novik worked as a senior laboratory assistant at the Department of Military Field Surgery at the Military Medical Academy, he decided to break the “vicious circle”: he broke free and plunged into his favorite pastime - music.

The beginning of Billy Novick's career dates back to 1999. Guitarist Andrei Reznikov, known to the Billy's Band fans by his creative pseudonym Ryzhik, invited Novik to the Boom Brothers club in St. Petersburg, where he worked as an art director. The duo took to the stage, presenting the audience with several country and surf compositions. This is how the Billy's Dilly's Band was born.
