Years ago I started as a street musician. 

Slowly I found myself on small stages, events and occasionally festivals as a singer song writer. 

Now I have become a Troubadour, taking my songs everywhere I go, nonmatter the weather, the context, the stage, format or audience. The line between 'professional' and fanatic has disappeared as I sing my songs in cocreation with children or with my troubadour car on stage.    

​

As a traveling Troubadour I get to spend time and songs with other amazing artists all the time and get the question; 'Where can I find that song? What is it called?' A LOT. 

Surprise! Its my own song and you can listen to them live. 

I'm a autodidact multidisciplinary musician and can not play covers on request for I never learned any. Yet on this page, you can order a song on request by making a donation. 

​

Below you will find an archive of video's of me performing my songs with all kinds of great musicians. If you like one song, (prior recording 2023) or collaboration in particular, you can mention it in the comment and I'll do my very most best to include them in the studio recording session and get what they wish to have in return. 

If you heard me play live, and want to figure out what song it was before you donate contact me through; ianmerkoulov@gmail.com

​

As a traveling Troubadour I do not prioritize refined studio recordings of my songs. They are alive and live within my heart fire ready to spark yours. 

Yet I think this is a funny take on the idea of 'A song on request' as artists often get.
