A voice from the window of NeMoskva: “I bring my spark, I want to see how it will awaken a spark in others.”

🎧Druid (Artemy Ponomarev) — a simple Russian guy with a guitar. Born in Barnaul, he now lives in Novosibirsk. The musician defines his genre as bard rock, emphasizing sincerity and a lively sound.

«Even when I was little, I was already singing, playing everything, a saucepan, there, a spoon and all that, - I told Artemy: "Life somehow connected with music. I can't even say I made a decision; it just sort of happened, and then I suddenly realized it was my calling."

For a long time, Druid remained a local Siberian artist—a musician and professional illusionist. A key moment in his musical career was his participation in the show "Come On, All Together!" At first, he received advice from Sergey Lazarev at a casting in Yekaterinburg in 2024—to stop singing other people's hits and create his own material. And then, in 2025, in Novosibirsk, Artemy took a risk: despite regulations prohibiting original material at auditions, he replaced the approved cover with his own track. "Burn".

Druid doesn't have any full-length albums yet—he's focused on releasing singles. Slowly, but efficiently. We recommend you listen to the songs. "Will", "Sight" и "Glad to hear it".

P.S. Even frogs, otters, and beavers are fans of Druid. While paddling down the Losikha River in the Altai Territory in the summer of 2025, the musician sang especially for them the song "The Fool and the Lightning" by the group "The King and the Jester".
