Life and career

Vasilyev was born in Leningrad.

After serving in the Soviet army from 1988 to 1990, where he composed some songs that ended up on the first Splean record, "Dusty Tale," Vasilyev entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theater Arts, Cinema and Music (now the St. Petersburg Theater Arts Academy) to study theater business management.

In 1993, Vasilyev met keyboardist Nikolai Rostovsky. Vasilyev, Morozov and Rostovsky formed Splean the following year. Over the years, Splean have experimented with changing musical genres and adjusting their playing styles from album to album. They have also undergone a few slight lineup changes.
