Andrei Pushkarev was born in a family of musicians in Kiev in 1974. At the age of five, he began his musical education with piano lessons. In 1980 he entered Kiev Specialized School of Music.
From a young age Andrei delighted in music and by the age 14 his concentration shifted to percussion instruments.
In 1992 Andrei Pushkarev became a student of Kiev Tchaikovsky National Conservatory (now – National Music Academy of Ukraine) where he continued his professional growth with Professor Alexander Blinov.
During his studies at the Conservatory, Andrei began to create his own works including his own compositions for vibraphone solo. Andrei continued to study orchestral percussion but the vibraphone had captured his soul. The vibraphone became much more than a favorite instrument to Andrei. The vibraphone, a true solo instrument, was capable of transporting listeners to a world filled with new thrilling sounds and colors.
In 1995, the newly established “New Names of Ukraine” competition awarded Andrei First Prize as solo vibraphonist. Andrei performed his own musical compositions at the award ceremony.
Between 1995 -1999 Andrei performed as a solo vibraphonist with many chamber ensembles all around Ukraine.
During this time, Andrei has reached another major milestone in his career. In 1996, he was selected to become the principal timpanist for the Kiev Philharmonic Orchestra. At the age of 22, he became the youngest principal timpanist of the symphonic orchestra in Ukraine.
