Illia Netkach

Born: April 24, 1986

Illia Netkach is a professional violinist from Ukraine. He graduated from Kharkov State College of Music (2006) with a formal classical education. However, Illia was keen to acquire improvisation skills – jazz in particular – and soon started attending jazz jams and playing gigs, both solo and as a session musician. In 2009, inspired by an interview of Steve Vai in Guitar World, about his first solo release “Flex-Able”, as well as by the music of Stephane Grappelli, Regina Carter, Jean-Luc Ponty, Eric Truffaz and others, Illia began working on his own original music. His debut single, “Lugsana”, was released in December 2012. Since 2013, Illia has been working in the Middle East as a teacher of music. He continues to compose and release his own music, as well as play occasional gigs. In May 2016, Illia Netkach, with his band, won first place in the Battle of the Bands at the Hard Rock Cafe Bahrain. His EP “I Am” (2017) received positive reviews from “All About Jazz” and “Smooth & Soul”. Illia Netkach is an indie musician and composer who releases original violin music fully on his own, occasionally collaborating with his musician friends. Illia handles all the production, bookings and promos by himself; he has no label, sponsors, etc. so it is an entirely DIY project. Currently, Illia is based in Al Ain, UAE, where he works as Violin and Music Theory Teacher.
