She started as a classical pianist and won several international piano competitions but she later became known through her Youtube portal under the nickname 'vkgoeswild' for creating piano covers of famous rock and metal songs. After the success, thanks to her Youtube videos, she officially switched her career from classical to rock music.
After studying at the Tchaikovsky Music Academy in Ukraine (2000), she completed her graduate studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Weimar, and the International Piano Academy "Incontri col Maestro" in Imola, Italy with the famous pianist Lazar Berman. Further studies took her to the Codarts Academy of Music and Modern Dance, at Rotterdam Conservatory, Netherlands.
In the early classical phase of her career, she won a variety of piano competitions, such as 1st Prize at "Filippo Trevisan" competition for Piano Interpretation in Italy, winner of The Grachtenfestival 2005 Amsterdam, 1st Prize at 35th International Competition "Vincenzo Bellini" in Italy, 1st Prize at 20th International Piano Competition "Citta di Marsala", 1st Prize at International Piano Competition “Citta' Di Trani”, 1st Prize at 4th Sigismund Thalberg International Competition, and the Grand Prix at 9th Pierre Lantier International Music Competition in duet with V. Dmitriev (flute) in France.
Since 2006 she refocused her career on playing rock music, concentrating on heavy metal covers by the whole gamut of famous metal bands. Her works have millions of views on YouTube and her subscribers number over 200,000. She also occasionally covers classical orchestral compositions as well as music from sound tracks that are not otherwise available in sheet music.
On January 29, 2011 she performed her first live rock concert in Reykjavík, Iceland (VIGGIE & VIKA: Live in Iceland) collaborating with drummer Brian Viglione.

When you're talkin' to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two
Old at heart but I'm only twenty eight
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me
Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself
And nobody's home
(Alone)
So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time
Without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
@TheTequilamonster74
I remember an interview with Slash where he stated how much he always worried about this song live because of all the different parts and changes. He mentioned it was the most challenging song he had to play live. I give him props for admitting that and it is a real challenge. Great job.
@blackz06
I agree with him. And you!
@kkeithf
There's actually a very famous rant by Axl bitching about how band members didn't want to play certain songs. Wonder is this is related
@rixxortiz8744
@Keith F yes, most of the band didnt even want to record both november rain and estranged, so those are basically Axl's projects
@kkeithf
@Rixx Ortiz why is the band always mad at the lead guy the always comes up with their best stuff, it's like a bad meme
@alexandrosandriopoulos9587
Hes right. Live versions are so much worse than the original one
@naturalbornkiller361
I hear Axl's vocals, slash guitar, izzy's rhythm guitar, Duff's bass, Reeds' piano and Matt's drums, in one musical instrument. Amazing.
@vkgoeswildofficial
Thank you
@rooh5825
I will likely be in the minority to say this but this is Guns N Roses best song in terms of the epitome of musical achievement for the band. The fact that somebody took one of their lesser-known songs, and likely one of them more difficult songs to play on the piano, and did it, it's amazing
@Unclejunior152
My favorite GnR song. You're not alone.
