Thus, this group existed for 3 1/2 years. At one of his performances, Sergey was noticed by an influential person in the Russian music world, who invited him to join his professional band. And by 16, Sergey Ignatov began to gain experience on the big stage. Sergey spent 4 years with the band "Dvizhenie" (Movement), under the leadership of Yuriy Romanenko (the big shot!!!).
While playing in the band, Ignatov studied Jazz at a music insitute in Abakan, Siberia. While in this insitute, Sergey made the biggest decision of his life; he gave his life to God and started attending church. He started to play music in his church and began to grow spiritually as a result. Ever since then, Sergey's goal is to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God, and increase their knowledge of His Word.
