Andrey Shirman - Russian Musician, DJ-Producer and Multimillionaire Businessman known & popular as SMASH ，
Was born in 1982 in Perm city, Russia. The love for high-quality music was instilled to the future star by his parents. And this is no surprise: Andrey’s father is a jazz musician. His mother is a music professor, honored cultural worker, AN member， At 6 years old Andrey already began taking piano classes at a music school.

Shirman's success in the music field was obvious almost straight away: he began composing music when he reached 8 years old; and by his 14 yo he had released his first album Get funky，sold by over 500 copies， The tape somehow appeared at the APOCALYPSIS night club and since then Andrey became a permanent DJ-performer of the night club and got known as SMASH. The artist states that the very scenic nickname was chosen for a certain reason: “smash” is his favorite type of blow in tennis，
Aged 16, Shirman composed his first track to be broadcast on the radio "Between the Earth and the Sky" which made him realize his life would be based around dance music.
