Yurij Dobriansky

 Born on April 7th, 1988.

Yurij Dobriansky was born and raised on the upper west side of Manhattan. A native New Yorker, Yurij takes in the sights, on a daily basis, from which he draws inspiration.

A renaissance man, by any definition, Yurij enjoys life both on stage and off. Just as in the time old adage, the stage is truly Yurij's world and the world is truly Yurij's stage. Some of Yurij's passions include; making and/or performing music, dancing, acting, making and telling of stories, arts and crafts, poetry, painting, drawing, sketching, trying to answer philosophical questions in Yurij's mind, you name it. (but keep it decent)

Recently, Yurij has tapped into a part of brain from which creativity spews and is discovering new interests and passions. For more than a year, Yurij has been a principal blogger part of Crunchy Mustard, a blogging site where most of Yurij's posts are dedicated to absurdity. Yurij's nonsensical blogging lead him into developing a unique writing style and a poetic interest.

Another of Yurij's passions is and has always been observation of people. An anthropologist at heart, Yurij enjoys observing the actions of others and trying to understand the motivation behind it.

A huge science fanatic, Yurij is a dedicated fan of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (both original and new series), as well as a multitude of classic and non-classic television series, not necessarily scifi.

Currently attending Hunter College of the City University of New York, Yurij is studying anthropology hoping to better know his fellow man.
