From Vovchansk's Ruins to U.S.: Artem Pivovarov's Voice of Resilience

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2025 / From the war-torn streets of Vovchansk, Ukraine to sold-out arenas across Europe, Artem Pivovarov has emerged as one of the most powerful and defining voices of modern Ukrainian music - shaped by resilience, purpose, and the unshakable spirit of his homeland.

This fall, Pivovarov brings that voice to North America with a moving new concert series, featuring an exclusive New York performance and major stops across the U.S. Tickets on sale now at pivovarovtourusa2025.com

With over 1.2 billion views on YouTube, more than 500 concerts worldwide, and a historic three-night sellout at Kyiv's Palace of Sports during wartime, Artem Pivovarov is far more than a pop star - he's become a cultural voice for a country under siege.

Raised in the small Kharkiv-region city of Vovchansk, which was occupied by Russian forces on the first day of the full-scale invasion, Artem's life was upended. His childhood home was destroyed. His mother and grandmother endured nearly a year of occupation. But through the loss came a renewed purpose.

"Vovchansk is gone, but it lives in me - in every word, every note," says Pivovarov. "I create not just for myself, but for every Ukrainian whose story needs to be heard."

In 2021, Pivovarov launched Your Poems, My Notes - a groundbreaking project that sets the works of Ukrainian literary icons like Taras Shevchenko and Lesya Ukrainka to music. It's a fusion of poetry, tradition, and modern sound - designed to preserve, amplify, and elevate Ukraine's cultural heritage.

"This isn't just music - it's preservation. It's defiance. It's a memory"

While others left, Artem stayed - performing for civilians and soldiers in front-line and recently liberated areas. In 2024, he performed globally at the Usyk vs. Tyson Fury fight in Saudi Arabia, delivering a message of resistance to over 20 million viewers worldwide.

"Even as rockets flew, we stood together - with music, with unity, with pride."

From global summits to stages built under air raid sirens, Pivovarov's mission is unwavering: "As long as Ukrainian music plays - Ukraine lives.
