He has produced more than 500 songs and 50 albums since the formation of his legendary band Aquarium in 1972. “As far back as I can remember I was singing — since I was three or four. I would say that music is sort of an ocean, so I just venture into the ocean and I follow the waves”. As a student at Leningrad State University he started experimenting with poetry, music and theatre — merging Eastern philosophies and traditional Russian themes. He played in underground venues, basements, back alley bars, sometimes escaping through the window when police came to break things up. These “concerts” were a unique Russian phenomenon and his message was not that “we are fighting for freedom but that “we are free”. This gave the audience a new perception of itself and quickly he began to attract a dedicated following. In the late 1980's Mikhail Gorbachev and Perestroika ushered in a new era of opportunity and Boris became the first Russian rock artist to record in the West. Some of his most interesting music has resulted from personal recordings, where Boris is able to explore the roots of his songwriting and Russian heritage. Today Boris has come to symbolize the best of Russian music, with books of his poetry and lyrics becoming bestsellers and each album a huge success both critically and popularly. “Since I was a small kid and I discovered music — it has been an uplifting, experience, something close to ecstasy.” When he performs in Russian for audiences who don't understand his language there are moments that captivate everyone, regardless of their native tongue. "There are things that are universal enough that every person who listens to it will perk up their ears." из буклета к CD
