Yuriy Usachyov is a Russian composer, DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He was involved in the Saint Petersburg electronic (namely, jungle) music scene since the early 90s, founding the group [[artist:Гости Из Будущего]] alongside [[artist:Евгений Арсентьев]] in the mid-90s. Around this time, he also co-founded and was involved in groups like [[artist:Чугунный Скороход]] and [[artist:Актив-Позитив]].

[[artist:Ева Польна]] joined Gosti Iz Budushchego at some point, and she and Usachyov were involved with [[artist:Русский Размер]] around 1997/1998. Gosti Iz Budushchego soon pivoted to pop dance music around 1998/1999, minus Arsyent'yev. The project would go on to create music in a variety of styles and eventually dissolve a decade later, in 2009.

Usachyov and [[artist:Тина Кузнецова]] founded [[artist:Zventa Sventana]] in 2005. The group is based around creating modern interpretations of archived Russian folk songs. The project was frozen in 2012 but revived in 2017.

Born: April 19, 1974 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Russia.

Usachyov and Kuznyetsova met in 2004 or 2005, married in 2009, and welcomed a son in 2010. Usachyov also has an older daughter.
