Vladimir Justus

I’m Vladimir Justus. I compose music for film and write songs that somehow keep trying to turn themselves into scenes from a movie.

At 14, I picked up a guitar because I wanted to be like Roma Zver. A month later, I was kicked out of music school and told I had no future in music. Luckily, they were a little off with that prediction.

Since then, my music has been featured in TV series.

More recently, a longtime dream came true: songs I first started writing as a teenager are now being heard around the world and getting millions of streams. “Trains,” “Why,” “Tomorrow,” “With You!” — stories about love, silence, distance, and people you just can’t forget.

I’m actually a pretty positive person. Which is why my piano album is called “The World of My Melancholy.”

Sometimes a song needs a whole orchestra. Sometimes all it needs is a piano and silence. What matters is that it feels real.

But every song I write still has to sound like a scene from a film. 💜💙
